3 Ways to go from Casual To Glam Casual!

Hi ladies (and the gentlemen),
Just here thinking about how while getting all dolled up is fun, my favourite go-to when it comes to style will still be the casual look.

There are times you need to upgrade your casual styles though, and I have got just the tricks for you!

. Pair your Casual with One Glam Item.
Be it a shirt over jeans or jacket over your tee, take casual to glam with one item.

. Feet and Hands Matter
Your choice of footwear is important.
A pair of heels instantly transform any look so if you can, invest in heels in different colours.
If 'issa no' when it comes to heels, don't despair. There are some really glam flat options to reach for as well.

In the same vein, ditch your usual bags for something more glamourous and you are glam to go!

. Don't forget your Face.
To complete the casual to Glam Casual transformation, do take some time with your hair and face.
Remember to keep your make up simple but dramatic. A good smokey eye or red lipstick (never both together) will glam you up.

For your hair, try an up-do with basic hoop earrings and voila!
Say hello to glam you.

Hope these help.

WCW, FASHION BLOGGER, GRACE ALEX

Hey everyone. Another Wednesday is upon us again, and for many of us, a long weekend lies ahead. How awesome!
Today, we are  crushing on a young, beautiful and talented fahionista! Her name is Grace Alex. She's a fashion blogger and the CEO of Gafa Fashion. Enjoy ;)

1)     You’re the CEO of Gafa sandals, how did you find the confidence to start a business at such a young age? 

GA: Most things I have accomplished at this age happened by chance and sheer inquisitiveness and that was how gafasandals came about. I also wanted to work with the design side of me and achieve it by elevating others out of poverty, which after two years I’ve been able to do to an extent.

2)      You have the most amazing pictures on your blog,Please share with us your most favorite photo of yourself? 

GA: I really can’t pick a favorite photo there are some that aren’t a favorite but my blog has tons of pictures I think readers can check and make a judgment from.

3)     What 3 tips would you say are key for blogging successfully especially in Nigeria ?


GA: Don’t do it because everyone is doing it.

Find what is unique about you and stick to it

Have a technology that can help you tell your story right.

4)     How do you keep yourself constantly inspired?

GA: I stay longer when I shower, to have time to think.

I take long drives and actually religiously go through my Instagram explore page

5)     One thing you'd like to say to your '20 year old' and '50 year old' self respectively?


GA: To my 20 year old self “you need to be more confident in yourself and realize you’re beautiful, and put more strength in reading and perfecting your writing”.

 To my 50 year old self “I hope you understand you still have more to achieve”

That's it guys!
Stay inspired! ;)

4 Tricks to Getting the Most out of Your Day

Ever ended a Day feeling like you did not do enough? 

Check out some ways to get the most out of your day!

For this post, I'll do a mix of physical and mental.

1. Plan Today Yesterday

If you want to get a kick-start and make the most of your Wednesday for example, set things out on Tuesday!

I find that days where I don't have to worry about my look are so productive because not knowing or liking what you're wearing takes crucial hours of my day! 

I take out about an hour each day to prep for the next day. This includes writing out my to-do for the next day, prepping for my show, laying out my outfit and sometimes, even thinking about how I'm going to style my hair.

2. Include TIME FRAMES in your To-Do

It is nice to know what you want to do but go a step further by including times as well.

That way, you don't get stuck spending so much time on one thing that you neglect the others. 

Be specific with how much time you want to spend on Shopping, Social Media, Lunch etc and you'll see how much more productive you become! 

3. Do at least One Thing You Love Daily

If you want to feel accomplished daily, then include things you love into your routine. 

Experts say even just one thing is fine but hey, you can go from the perspective of eating, doing and watching one thing you love, and maybe being with one or more people you love. 

4. Refresh, Relax, 'Re-Close'

So many of us work all day, whether at home or work, we just keep working but to ensure you're getting the most of each day, we have to learn to close each day and set a mental closing time. 

That's the time of the day when we don't work, think about work nor plan work. 

It can be 6pm, 8pm, 10pm... Whatever time you know is realistic but do stick to it. 

In the same vein, have a time when you do start work. 

During your downtime, relax, meditate, shut the world out and truly refresh. 

Do you have any tricks or tips to s.h.a.r.e?
