Abuja is the capital city of Nigeria located in the centre of the country within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). It is a planned city and was built mainly in the 1980s, replacing the country’s most populous city, Lagos, as the capital on December 12th, 1991. According to Wikipedia, Abuja grew by 139.7% between 2000 and 2010, making it the fastest growing city in […]
Holiday season is here and I have put together 5 showstopping looks that will put the Fa La La La in any event you may have to attend. I decided to assemble these looks specifically for #curvy women like me because so many fashion magazines and blogs out there tend to have more of the […]
