The Truth About My Civil Wedding Look – You Will Never Believe This!

I’ve been promising to blog more or rather return to blogging each time someone tells me they’ve missed my updates on the blog. I’ve been procrastinating because even when I get the time, I somehow end up lazy. As some of you already know, I got engaged in 2020, got traditionally married in 2021 and now legally married in 2022.

Skin By Zaron Launch In Abuja

I’ve been away for so long that I had to ask on my Instagram page if people still read blogs. Apologies for the long hiatus, life happened! So, on 29th of August, Zaron Cosmetics launched their Skin By Zaron in Abuja and I attended.  It was a lovely event with lots of content creators, skincare enthusiasts and beauty professionals present.

#BecomingTheIMKs Day 2 – Kamu

On day 2, which was the day I arrived (OMG! I almost missed my flight, long story!), we had Kamu. This is one of the oldest events in the Hausa wedding ceremony. “Kamu” means catch the bride. The groom’s family comes and negotiates with the bride’s friends for her release to them. If you are following me on IG, you would have seen the videos of the negotiations on my story.
