QUESTION AND ANSWER WITH "VANISTYLES"

LUCY ASKS: "Hi, I'm Lucy an Accountant. i love my skin & i'm pretty. But I'm really not into makeup and all because there's hardly ever time. i get up really early in the mornings and i get stuck in traffic by the close of work. there's hardly ever time to sit in front of the mirror and look pretty. but still how can i keep my skin fresh and healthy looking all day long"

VANI REPLIES: Hi Lucy, i love the fact that you stated that you love your skin. that alone is one way to care for it. (you cant care for something you dont love). i take it that the problem is also creating the time. ( if you request, i could do a makeup tutrorial of an everyday office look which takes 3minutes max and keeps you going all day). but right now, i'll recommend, 1). Facial wipes 2). Plenty Water   3). A smile 4). Enough sleep 

5). Washing the dirt off at least twice daily

MY BEAUTY SECRET....

MAGIC SOAP! DUDU OSUN

Hello DARLINGS,

You know how they say there's love in sharing? ooh well, this just shows how much i love you because i'm sharing my ultimate beauty SECRET with you.

Dudu Osun a.k.a Magic Soap (lol)

been using this soap for about 8 months or maybe even more and trust me, i dont need facial cleansers or scrubs. i can categorically tell you that i havent had any need to use facial cleansers or scrubs or what not.

DUDU OSUN is the age long African black soap made the traditional way by hand from pure natural ingredients and herbs from the tropical rainforest and savannah regions.

no artical colors

no preservatives

bio degradable

Apart from the fact that there's so much struggle in getting the right skin care product, Dudu Osun is the ultimate answer to your prayers.

plus theres no TEAMLIGHTSKINNED OR TEAMDARKSKINNED clause. 

every and anyone can use it.

for  me it serves as a facial cleanser as well beacuse i use mine in a different way.

But in all, its the best for my skin right now and im loving it.

its unbelievable affordable too.

so just be patient and consisitent. you too will see the difference.

it dosent tone or bleach the skin but rather enriches your skin and makes your skin glow.

most people do not like the smell and they complain its stains their bathtubs. but trust me if you keep your soap properly and away from water, i dont see any reason why it should be a problem.

Here are the list of ingredients

- Pure Honey

- Shea Butter

- Osun(Camwood)

- Palm kernel Oil

- Cocoa pod ash

-Palm Bunch

-Aloe Vera

- Lime Juice

-Water 

-Fragrance

Good for oily skin as well.

Females And Males.

Pure Natural  Ingredients

THANK ME LATER :)

"AJOKU DAVID UCHENNAYA" 

RUBY COLLECTION

FULL NAME:

 Ajoku David Uchennaya

 AGE:

20 years old.

BRIEF PROFILE:

first of 5 kids. all of us with artistic tendencies.

graduate of Physics(geophysics)  from covenant university.

WHAT DO YOU DO?: 

I'm an upcoming photographer, into lifestyle fashion n event photography.

INSPIRATION:

My dad, he loves taking pictures. i found myself sneaking into his room and picking his then sony camera and wasting film taking rubbish pictures. but then my inspiration to make it a hobby came from a friend Beatrice Fowowe, during my IT when we were talking about improving my tumblr and getting her to create one.

FOR HOW LONG: 

A year and 5 months

ROLE MODELS:

Hmmmn, the tobbinator, and Mr Tope horpload.. oh and Wani Olatunde( before i did my first wedding shoot i looked at her blog all night and then till mid day the next day, just to understand the basics of wedding photography)

Redefinition

SUCCESSES & CHALLENGES:

Hmmn i would say being an official photographer for Redefinition 2013 ( a fashion program in my school). you see in school, i didnt own a camera of my own so i had to borrow from people who had, the running around was tiring and also depressing. at a point i told myself forget it. but then my photographer friends always made sure i didnt have the chance not to do it, they would intentionally book appointments with designers in school for me, especially chidi @thelexash and Fifo @thefifographer. The main event came, my first time shooting a runway..Fifo gave me a few pointers and i would say the pictures came out rather nice

also my shoot with Ruby collections... i loved how it turned out, i amazed myself even. the rain made us change a lot of plans but brought out the creativity in me and my client

CHALLENGES: 

i would say my greatest challenge back then was equipment.. my first camera spoilt a month into using it so i had to rely on borrowing till i could get another

SET GOALS & ASPIRATIONS:

my goals.. hahah they might seem to clash, i want to be a pilot and then work towards the line of minister of aviation. I also want to become madly good at photography, get better and better with each chance i get and eventually run a studio/ print house for graphics and art. (it sounds weird and confused but i think about it a lot). i would eventually retire from aviation but art n photography, these will die with me.

RUBY COLLECTION

MESSAGE TO YOUNGSTERS:

things won't always go the way you want them to, but don't let that stop you, if you want something go get it, people will talk and say things, but you can't please everybody, what matters is that you are happy. and on your way to the top try to take people along with you. you never know who has what you need to climb higher.

CHILL OUT SPOT: 

my room or a pool, but lately it has been more of my room.. lol i'm not a going out person

FAVORITE QUOTE:

work for a cause not applause, live life to express not impress, dont strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt.

RUBY COLLECTION

MOTIVATION: 

the spur of the moment and the urge to record the moment from different angles and perspectives, its something i shared with my dad. at a point as i was growing my dad would hand me his camera and tell me to take pictures we both shared the passion and at the end we would compare notes. the fact that i shared it with my dad made me happy too, because i'm not really good at other stuff he is into like computer programming and fixing electronics

The Full Skirt.. Yaay or Naaay?

Hi Darlings..


So there's this new craze about "full skirt". it comes in a variety of colors, from bright orange to maroon or even green. whatever your preference may be, ladies are definitely rocking the full skirt this season.

its very friendly, in the sense that whatever body type or shape you got, you too can rock the full skirt. it usually a band with could be plain or accompanied by gathers. it gives you a tiny waist look, its appropriate for weddings, dinners or even parties when you just wanna turn up.

it looks stunning on ladies with some "junk in trunk" because it give it that jump/push without showing curves. also for our Chinese butt ladies.. it looks amazing cos no one sees anything anyways. just Ur tiny waist look it portrays.

be it long or short. the "full skirt" is a YAAAAAAAAY!
