DIY Nourishing Body Butter – Perfect Last Minute Gift Idea

We often forget that our skin is the largest organ on our body and absorbs what we put on it. When you use lotions or body butters with chemicals in them (preservatives, color additives etc.) your skin absorbs the chemicals too. I often use shea butter on my skin after a shower but I love using something just as nourishing and a little easier to apply during winter. I have been making my own body butters for over a year now and I’ve never been happier with my skin. Not only are body butters easy to make, they are much more moisturizing than lotion because they are not made with water.

My Okada (Motorcycle Taxi) Experience

I'm baaaack!

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I was in Nigeria last week and I had a great time. I stayed for 2 weeks, visited Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, and then Abuja (can't wait to tell you about my amazing weekend in Abuja) and made some new friends. I even took the Okada to the market ...shhhh don't tell my mum haha.

TOP 6 REASONS TO VISIT LISBON

Afternoon :)

Having just returned from an amazing trip in Lisbon and with two other upcoming trips this month alone, I thought it was a good idea to share my top 6 reasons to visit Lisbon with you. Last month, one of my best friends and I decided to travel to Lisbon. Visiting Lisbon has always been on my to-do list and we were both finally free for 2 weeks. We arrived on a rainy afternoon in Alfama, (also known as the old Lisbon) following our flight into Lisbon with RyanAir. I loved many things about Lisbon and took way too many pictures, therefore trying to shorten my reasons to five wasn't easy, so I decided to add one more.
