Being a bit on the chubby side myself , Ive tried out a couple of diets from Cayenne pepper to Atkins so trust me when I talk about what works and what doesnt when it comes to shedding a few pounds.Some of you may or may not have heard about Body Magic but thats why I’m here; to tell you a bit more about it.

Body magic is a very different type of full body girdle, notice I said different.This special girdle is built by Engineers in such a way that it helps you lose weight WITHOUT the need for exercise, starvation and all.It is a type of body brace which when worn reforms your body, making it take the shape of the Body Magic Girdle.

Each girdle is ‘be spoke‘ and built to the taste and fitting of the customer.Another thing about Body Magic which makes it different from other girdles is that it also helps to make your body firmer, from you stomach to your thighs and even your buttocks Body Magic, does it all.I think whoever named the product did a great job cause it sure does do MAGIC…lol, I think I’ve said enough though, the product is by no other than Abyss and is a must have for all plus size women hoping to fit into bikinnis some day ;) .

LIFESTYLE: GO SLOW.

Aishat Hassan
Jul 20 |11:23

There seems to be a lack of urgency in my big city. I find myself becoming the overeager annoying commuter rushing to get on the train. The one hopping clumsily over people’s feet and bags trying quite successfully I must say to get to that last available seat at the other end of the carriage. And yes, I am the ridiculous person skirting from side to side attempting to figure out where the doors of the approaching train will stop. I hate queuing. I see nothing wrong in sometimes intentionally pushing past the old lady who seems in no hurry to be served. After all, time waits for no man or woman in my case. Why the rush? Well, simply put I am Nigerian; it’s in my blood. And before you lash me, I am not attempting to validate my disposition with flawed stereotypes. No, I am just stating a well known fact.

I spent years absorbing the hustle and bustle of LasGidi where fast forward is everyone’s default setting and even the local street trader would run laps around Hussein Bolt if selling her ata rodo depended on it. Lagos, the land of 2 second phone calls (“call me back”) and texting till your fingers feel sore, where everyone is out to make a quick buck, legit or otherwise.

But of course I am not in Lagos anymore. The hustle is not the same in LondonTown so no matter how many times I sigh and kiss my teeth nothing is going to stop the man standing in front of me right this second from making me wait behind him till he has let all the other passengers on the train before me! Imagine this nonsense o!

Anyway, this huge difference in urgency has got me thinking. Am I moving way too fast or is everyone else stuck in some Go Slow that I seem to have diverted away from? Personally, my knowledge of economics tells me that the greater the scarcity of resources the greater the market price of its complements. So it goes without saying that in a city like Lagos where a significant number live way below the poverty line, time means everything. On the other hand, the ease of London life allows for more thought and reflection and the presence of abundant resources provides a less prudent use of time.

My conclusion? Well, it’s common knowledge that the majority of Nigerian international students are back in the motherland lavishing in the sun. I honestly envy you all. However, the next time you are stuck in a traffic jam on the island, refrain from encouraging your driver to use the pavement as a fourth lane and take some time out to enjoy the Go Slow. Have some reflection time; think over all your activities or have a quick chat with the man upstairs. Even I intend to make better use of the hours I clock up commuting to work every day. It’s amazing what a bit of time well spent can do.

Mr & Mrs Disu

Its no news that a couple of months back, Mike Adenuga‘s daughter, Bella Adenuga tied the knot with Jameel Disu, the wedding was too on point and we’ve got pictures to prove that, click here.

Bella Adenuga Disu & Jameel Disu granted an exclusive interview to Ovation magazine revealing how they met and more.

I’ll stop my ranting here cause I know all you’re really interested in is the interview so enjoy!

JAMEEL

What attracted you to Bella?

Obviously, she is a very beautiful lady. We met six years ago and ever since we met, we have been very good friends. We have spent a lot of time together. She is a very honest and sincere person.

How did you meet her?

Actually, it is a funny story. I came back to Nigeria six years ago. I met her three days after she also moved back. I went out with some friends to a place called Hacienda, on the Island, though it has been closed down now. I think as I was going in, I met her by the door. We said hello to each other and that was it. We didn’t exchange numbers. A few days later, I attended a party thrown by Bolaji Folawiyo and Sasha Israni. I went there with some friends and she was also there with her cousin and a friend. A friend of mine met her cousin and they exchanged numbers. We equally exchanged numbers. Since then we have been together.

Were you aware then that she is Dr. Mike Adenuga’s daughter?
No, I was not aware. Even when we first met, I never knew she was Dr. Mike Adenuga’s daughter until after about two weeks.

Where were you based before you came back to Nigeria?
I was based in the United States

You were studying?
Yes, I was studying. I finished my Masters then and moved back toNigeria. I went on holiday three months after I moved back. I just got back from my holiday and she just moved back also.

When did dating start?

Funny enough, ever since we met in June 2004, we have been together since.

Which means that both of you have celebrated St. Valentine’s Day a number of times

Yes

Could you recollect a particular Valentine’s Day that was very significant in terms of the way you celebrated it

I think the most significant valentine was the valentine after we met. It was in Lagos. I took her to a restaurant on the Island. I had the restaurant closed completely for us. There was nobody there just the two of us. I had a special band come out to play and a special song was dedicated to her. It was very intimate and romantic. I think that was very significant.

If there could be such a romantic scenario towards the beginning, what then happened on the day you proposed
The day I proposed which I think was about two years ago. She always had an idea that I was going to propose, so it was not much of a surprise. Though she did not know when I was going to do it. I had this elaborate plans laid out but at the end of the day, it was not anything too special. We were spending time together and I just felt the right moment in my heart, so, I brought out the ring, went on my knees, and asked her if she would marry me. And she said yes.

 

RELATIONSHIPS: MY LOVE MIGHT COST YOU A HARRY WINSTON.

I love ‘love’. Don’t deny it. No matter how cynical you are, you love it too. Infact you thrive on love; the feeling you get when you’re with your one-year old boyfriend and you get ‘butterflies’, not to mention the time lag between you and your significant other get together contemplating whether it’s time to say those three words and then the story gets deeper. So when it gets deeper, we start depending on promises that rely on the premise of a ‘happily ever after’ story, a solid commitment and of course…exclusivity.

So automatically, we start to measure love. If he hasn’t found the courage to put his bad-boy status on the line and say I love you…it is quickly assumed that perhaps he doesn’t, if he doesn’t bring you flowers and box of chocolates and a heavier gift wrapped bag that contains the real gift on valentines’ day…he doesn’t love you. Or on your birthday he doesn’t get you the Vivienne Westwood bag you’ve been sending both subtle and obvious hints about.
Obviously, if he spends a good chunk of his cash on you; chances are you mean a lot to him but we place a huge emphasis on symbols of love so we consider what people do to interpret the intensity of their love. And the reason we do this is not far-fetched: we know how we feel about them but don’t know what they feel about us so we look out for what they do.
Problem with love is…it is an emotion. Emotions are dependent on words and actions to express feelings. So we rely on words to convey the emotion or use symbols in their place. How many times in a day he calls to check on you or a dozen roses and champagne and expensive gifts are all pretty nice however it doesn’t prove he’s in love with you. He might as well be doing all those right things to cover up something wrong he’s done and spending massively on you would be a nice way or getting rid of his guilt. And it doesn’t help that there’s no crystal ball to inform you of his thought process or why he did what he did..he might as well want to spend to feed his large ego and ofcourse he knows your friends will oooh and ahh when you unwrap your tasteful gift which might also serve as a fast track ticket into your bed and subsequently…ahem. *cough* *re-adjusting glasses*
Right. Okay. So an engagement ring is a symbol of love. He finally gives you a ring to show for the five-year relationship and the promise of a future. The ring, of course is not the emotion itself because that doesn’t automatically fool proof your marriage because anything can happen. Yup. Even with that ring on your finger (I hope not!). And why do you find yourself analysing the clarity, cut, colour and carat (God bless Mr. X if it isn’t a diamond..if you’re Mr. X, I wish you all the best!). Well you do that because a bigger and more blinding rock means this is the real deal..Right? Wrong. What happens if what he proposes..you get your ring but still not satisfied?
Roses are a symbol of love. Even more special if they’re a dozen roses (still don’t understand the dozen roses idea) so what does three roses then symbolize then? Ok maybe he hasn’t called you in two days..worse still, you text him the forbidden ‘we-need-to-talk’ text but he still ditched you to watch the World Cup for 90minutes of HIS time then calls you and gists you about how Kaita has destroyed the hope of the Super Eagles. As if you care. We’ve become so conditioned to the emotion of love by words or actions that symbolize them that as soon as a few of these symbols are missing, we conclude that there is no ‘spark’ in the relationship. If we explained truly the emotion of love, we wouldn’t need an object to convince us.
I’m not saying symbols should be trashed but primary focus on it means we lust after someone and what they can provide to make us feel like desired. But the less dependent we are on symbols to give value to our relationships, the more we open ourselves up to experience love. True Love.

 

WEDDINGS: WHY DID I GET MARRIED?

So I bet you’re thinking Tyler Perry right, well you’re wrong. I’ve attended well over 10 weddings and as each year has gone by, the quality of these weddings have improved.I do not know about guys but for we girls, we start fantasizing about our wedding days pretty early from the Wedding gown to the Brides Maids dresses and all that :D

I mentioned earlier that as each year goes by, the quality of weddings I attend keep improving but theres one more thing thats been increasing too and it really scares me—> DIVORCE!!!!!!!!

I’ve been thinking a lot about why this is so and a couple of things came to mind.I have witnessed the preparation of about 3 weddings, each of which started at least a year before the actual wedding; from picking outaso ebi to sending out invites to getting venues and all, I must say its pretty interesting planning weddings,I just might be a wedding planner you know, lol.Weddings in Nigeria have well over 2 parties,we’ve got The Introduction, The Engagement , Engagement Reception, Bachelors Eve, Hens Night, White wedding ,Wedding Reception then Thanksgiving and if you want to put the icing on the cakeThanksgiving Party :).In my parentngagems time it was probably just 2 events; Eent and Wedding, finish! I do not know how and when all these little other events came in ( Thanksgiving party et al) but some how they did.

What exactly is a wedding?A wedding is basically an ushering into marriage but a lot of people fail to realize this simple fact.People spend years preparing for their wedding day and miss out the most important thing–>their MARRIAGE and I feel this is the reason why the rate of divorce has increased over the past few years.

The wedding day people spend years preparing for is really just a group of critics sitting down to eat your food and comment.These people wont go home with you &  these people wont be there when there are problems so why spend years preparing to entertain them rather than preparing for your actual marriage?I personally feel MARRIAGE is a very big deal and people fail to realise that, at weddings I get really emotional, at times I’m close to tears, not because the wedding is beautiful or the food tastes good..lol but because these two souls are making such a big/bold step.Marriage is for better for worse and thats scary to me. Our generation need to realise this ‘for better for worse’ thing, its not something you wake up one morning and say oh I’m tired and I want a divorce—> NOOO ,divorce should never be an option.

So please please and please  if you are getting married just because you want to experience a wedding day, make it your next birthday theme wedding or better still let your next halloween costume be a wedding dress and to all you soon to be wives/husbands spend time learning how to be a good wife/husband, a good mother/father and not how you’ll impress the invitees at your wedding because really and truly they’ll all leave and it would just be you and your spouse left.

Dont get it twisted people, I LOVE WEDDINGS but I understand that I have to be more prepared for my MARRIAGE than my WEDDING else I’ll end up asking myself  WHY DID I GET MARRIED?
