Today, I'll be introducing a series on how to care for your natural hair on this blog. I will let you in on some useful tips for for healthy natural hair. I don't think of natural hair as a journey like most people do this is because I have been natural all my life.  Although I have suffered a few setbacks because of lack of information, I'm already recovering from the damage done to my hair over a long period of time. As I share some of my knowledge, I will try as much as possible to be honest and real and will expect the same from you. It would be unnecessary to force your convictions on anyone and I won't do that to you. To enjoy premium preferences, I would appreciate if you subscribed because special attention would be given to subscribers. This would enable exclusive communication. So, till next week (or later this week) when I'll share a full wash day regimen which I religiously follow, kindly drop some questions you would like me to answer.  Do hav...

Welcome back to Princessliz Diaries, today, I want to take you back memory lane up to five to six years ago before natural hair became funky. In my last post, I talked about how timid I was while at Uni because I felt way too old fashioned and ugly partly because I was too natural in my appearance. I was wowed that one guy was attracted to me despite all that so much that I fell in love...Ooh! Read the post here... The first time I fell in love One thing I'm grateful for is that the natural hair craze enlightened us about better ways to care for our hair. We suddenly have more than enough information concerning the texture, porosity, moisture and styles for natural hair. I would try to share some important information concerning natural hair care soon. At least, I no longer suffer from dry hair and my wash days are enjoyable and more frequent because I've learnt how to pamper my hair.  Once upon a time when natural hair was a ' curse ' . I mean it was something to...

It's my birthday today and I just want to tell you a story. I hope you enjoy reading it. Feel free to share. Love is a wonderful thing.  From the butterflies in your stomach to the smile that lights up your face at the sight of your fairy tale sweetheart, love has the power to leaves the most difficult person feeling sweet.  I have read books and watched movies about love stories but not one of them prepared me fully for what happened to me a few years ago. In case you are wondering, it was not a crush. I really was in love with this guy. I wanted to hold hands with him across the walk way. I wished he would be my 'forever' (how silly). I felt my  world was beginning to look more colorful.  I wasn't too young, I was a big 18 year old girl studying at the University. At that age, a lot of girls my age had changed boyfriends at least twice or thrice yet I was there obsessing over a guy. It was cool while it lasted, I laugh whenever I recall all tha...

You are probably wondering why you have not been invited by any of the companies you applied to. Your wonderful grades in school now seem to be a waste of time and effort but before you give up, here are a list of things you can do to step up your game. The first thing an employer accesses about you is your Curriculum Vitae or Resume . It is the first impression that would last long in his mind. It can either make or mar your chances of getting an opportunity to showcase those wonderful skills you have. If you are willing to permanently change your own employment story for the better, take a look at the following things and correct the mistakes.  EMAIL ADDRESSES When I was in my final year I guess, Dr Okeola a senior lecturer in the Civil Engineering department made everyone of my classmates (myself included) open an email address with our first and last name. He cared less if you already had something you used frequently. We had to obey him because he usually sent us...

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TRAIT IN A WOMAN? Her Virginity or Her Virtuous Qualities? It is no longer news that we live in a decaying world where nearly every good practice is ridiculed and termed 'old fashioned'. The values and morals our ancestors held in high esteem are being dragged in the mud by the youths of today. The reason? They feel they have been liberated and can now explore as much as they desire while damning the consequences. In earlier times in many parts of the then world (I mean even before Christianity came to Africa), girls were expected to 'keep' their bodies till they married. Husbands reserved the exclusive rights to deflower their brides on their matrimonial bed. Anything short of this brought shame to her and her family. This often leads to death, curses or other grievous consequences. The reason behind this tradition is not far fetched. Virginity was only the only way to tell that a woman was not carrying another man's baby as at her ...

You have been working for years and yet, you have not been able to afford a good phone (or something else). This pimples on your face are terrible, go and buy so and so to clear it Why does your hair keep balding in front of your head? You have been married 2years when do you hope to start trying to have kids? etc.. Go and get married, you are not getting younger. What are you always doing with your salary that you cannot help Mr or Ms so and so? Why are your eyeballs always red, do you smoke? Have you ever been asked one of those questions or similar ones? The answer to those is obvious; its definitely a YES! Many of us have been recipients of unsolicited advice and thoughtless comments at different times. The problem is even though the advice may seen reasonable sometimes, it is annoying. The major problem with these advisers is that they just sit somewhere and assume they know exactly what your problem is. They then walk straight up to you and deliver their messag...
