Long time, no post! I came out of posting retirement to tell you about a new thing I tried. Guys! I don’t know why I have been sleeping on this. A bit of history – I have had very very very heavy periods since I gave birth to my daughter, ~13 years ago. It has…
I’m bringing this series back, because in this Made in Nigeria dispensation, there is a lot to love and share.
I am very happy this morning. Resigning from my job means that I actually have to LIVE in my apartment. I am staying in the same apartment and all, but I always felt that it wasn’t a HOME. More like a place to sleep and store my things. I never really had time to lay down…
I tried to get a series started last year on my favourite new products but guess what? I really don’t buy that many new products so I wasn’t able to keep up with it. This year, I am still determined to bring you what I can, when I can. No pressure on myself, lol! In…
A few months ago, a lady that I am proud to call friend, opened up a lovely “African Resource Center” in Surulere called Afriville. I love the fact that this place is on the mainland. If it was a bit bigger we would have held a meet up there.
I have been remiss in my duty about talking about the products that we carry in our Ahia Natural Nigerian. That will change from now on! To begin with, I thought I should let you all know that we listened to all the feedback we got about being in stores so we have worked with a…

We replaced the latter with the Cut and Sifted (C/S) version as…

This is a neat method for extracting or drawing the quality of herbs into any oils of your choice. You only need two ingredients for this: Your herb (you can use more than one at a time if you like) and some oil. Several oils sold in the market are made from using a part of a…
I had mentioned on facebook that I was going to introduce Palm Kernel Oil and Cocoa Butter for sale and someone asked me what the difference between Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil (PKO) was. I gave her a short answer, but would like to post a longer one here. By the way, PKO is…
I have been seeing some lovely orange-colored oranges in the market lately. I have bought quite a few and I will be putting it to all sorts of use. For those of you that are wondering, in Nigeria we tend to get green/yellow oranges. Now, these appear to be all over the place. Source You…
