New Year, Old Me

I like the me that I was back in 2015, don't see why I have to become someone new because Pope Gregory XIII created the modern Gregorian calendar to get one over Julius Ceaser.

Vlisco Campaign: A Christmas To Remember

So I recently did a shoot with international fabric brand, Vlisco and Style Vitae to celebrate the launch of the Vlisco Christmas collection with Noble Igwe, Samantha Dimka and Bolanle Olukanni. The campaign titled 'A Christmas To Remember', was aimed at celebrating the brand's uniqueness, creativity and complete interpretation of the true African fabric.

How I'm Staying Fit Over The Holidays

So I'm off to my village; Arondizuogu in Imo State this weekend. I'm definitely excited, my cousins are going to be around, there are weddings, parties...oodles of activity and to accompany all this will be food, lots of it.

See I go to the gym 4 times a week, I don't do a lot of cardio because I shed weight really quickly so I stick to weight training. I go hard at my workouts because I find it very difficult to stick to a clean eating schedule. I've managed to completely cut out soda and some carbs but I largely still eat whatever I want. So to offset all the crap I eat, I beast it in the gym from Monday to Thursday for at least 2 - 3 hours per day.

Now my very legitimate fear with going to the village is that there is going to be tons of food, which by virtue of my being a gully I have to have, but where I'd normally eat then spend 3 hours at the gym the next day, this can't work in the village. No gym...nada.

I'm actually terrified of what I might look like by the time I get back to Lagos.

I came up with a few easy steps to take to be able to enjoy my Christmas feasts while not neglecting my body.
