The Lifestyle blog with Uju

Anchoring the 5th Edition of The Lagos Makeup fair  (the biggest makeup fair in Nigeria) has been very fulfilling, I met lots of people and also got lots of contacts, so I look forward to more hosting  opportunities in the future! Say AMEN somebody! I have never been one to advise wearing of jeans on stage to anchor an event, but If you live in a city like Lagos where I reside, you wouldn't want to dress up lookin like the side effect of power outage! It was an indoor Exhibition Event on the hand, So dressin g  up to Anchor such an event should not be stressful, all you need is throw on some Chic style, since you do not want to dress to distract the audience, you also want to make people listen to you, take you serious, and stand out as the MC.  I am on my way to make things happen! So Here is what I wore to Anchor Day 1 of the #LMUF5.

It was a weekend of Fun,Discount Shopping, Sales, Networking,  G iveaways and more as the popular, Biggest, Makeup sales and exhibition event took place on the 18th and 19th of June 2016 at the Classique Event center Oregun, Ikeja Lagos Nigeria. The stage was set and yes! I and Adeoye took charge, we both anchored the event, thanks to the organizers (POPS CONCEPT). For the first time in the makeup fair, which keeps getting better from introducing the Runway , now they had two MAJOR FAIRS in one hall - "THE LAGOS MAKEUP FAIR and the INDI BEAUTY AND WELLNESS FAIR . Indi stands for Independently owned and Indigenous beauty brands, these brands consisted of the natural hand made, skincare and haircare products in Africa! certified, tested and trusted, truly Africa have come of age! There were over 41 Beauty, Makeup and Wellness Brand in total. Uju Lilian (Anchor)

The Blogger blo g  interface is my favourite, it is flexible, it is easy to use, its Graphic user interface and design template is self explanatory and user friendly, you somehow need little or no graphic skills to set up a blogger blo g . Even thou g h it is easy to link your domain name to your blogger blog, Ever wondered why I haven't even gotten a domain name for this blo g ! I feel comfortable with this. I chatted with a friend of mine who resides outside the country, she said she likes my blog and will need help to start one. I asked her why do you want to start a blog, she said "I like to write, I want to teach and I want help people with my articles and intellect"  . In one of my blog mentor's webinar, she said a blog needs to have 3 things - It has to be Useful, Interesting and Entertaining - Mattie of  www.mattieologie.com Being a content creator takes alot, Passion, Consistency and  g ood Content of cause, but Here are the essentials you need if y

Durin g  one of my roamings and travelings on Insta gram , I came across this lovely picture from  @chris_okagbueand it came with the caption below that caught my attention. "Some parts of Nigeria (Lagos) that our beloved international tv stations won't show you on the news... We're not made of just ghettos/slums. We're beautiful!!!

It is mid week and I thought to share outfit idea for Brunch. Stylin g  for a brunch can be formal or casual depending on if the brunch is indoor or outdoor. It could be in a Hotel for a family get together, girls/ guys timeout, or album listening party or a more formal event. Brunch In a Shift Dress I was at a brunch earlier this month- Brunch with Tracy Nwakpa, I got invited by my PR friend, creative director at Euphorique PR and it was a casual brunch for Entrepreneurs. First I was torn between looking Casual yet glam and chic, since the brunch was for 11am and an indoor brunch.  Eku Edewor and Tracy Nwakpa
