Our lovely guest couple on Episode 5 of Make Me Fabulous – Geraldine & Emmanuel – bared their hearts out and showed us a very deep part of their love story during their Vow Renewal Ceremony. It was really an emotional experience that moved us all to tears.
If you missed the episode on TV, you can relive some of that wonderful experience here with these photos.
I’m also very grateful to our sponsors who helped us put a smile on their faces with some fabulous gifts. They received N100,000 from Union Bank, a Bosch gas cooker from Pedini Nigeria Ltd, beauty products from Cookie Skin, oatmeal from Green Valley Oatmeal and of course, some Make Me Fabulous t-shirts!
The pictures you are about to see are going to make you smile today
While shooting the fifth episode of Make Me Fabulous with Geraldine and Emmanuel, their cute daughter joined us on set and we shared some really adorable moments with her. It was so lovely having her around and I still can’t get over how she took the spotlight in these photos.
Thanks once again to this lovely couple and I pray your home will always be filled with happiness and laughter.
There are lots of issues that can take its toll on a marriage no matter how long it’s been. Both newly weds and couples who have been married for several years face their own fair share of challenges, and many times, we help each other out by sharing and listening.
This is what we aim to achieve on the ‘Talk To Steph’ segment of Make Me Fabulous show. On each episode of the show, we have a no-holds-barred discussion about the marital journey of our guest couple and the challenges they’ve been facing in their marriage. Trust me when I say this helps a lot!
I’m so grateful to all the couples who have bared their hearts out to us on the show and I hope their fabulous experience would strengthen their marriage and help them surmount some of these challenges.
Here is a short clip from my chat with Geraldine and Emmanuel.
It’s really hard to be in the presence of two people who really love each other and not feel their connection in such a heartwarming way. This is exactly how I felt in the presence of Geraldine & Emmanuel, our wonderful couple on Episode 5 of Make Me Fabulous!
We were particularly excited about this young couple. It wasn’t hard to see how much they loved each other. They were the perfect lovebirds. But as it is with most couples, stress can take its toll and take away that spark they need so dearly. It was our greatest joy to reignite that spark and make remember why they fell in love with each other.
Here are some lovely photos from their time on the show!

Dreams do come true, I can tell you that for sure. I’ve had many of my dreams come true, and I know exactly how that feels. But being a part of someone else’s dream is something entirely different and it gives me such fulfillment to be able to put smiles on the faces of our guest couples on Make Me Fabulous.
With the help of our wonderful sponsors, we’ve been able to surprise 13 couples on Season 2 of MMF and it just keeps getting better and better with each episode.
Last Sunday on Episode 4, Yemisi and Oluwole were the lucky winners of a state-of-the-art kitchen from Pedini Nigeria Ltd. The kitchen is a Vurn kitchen, designed by Pedini and it has all the latest kitchen appliances, furniture and fittings you could think of.
What made this even more special is the fact that Oluwole is a Chef and he knows just what a great kitchen should look like. It was truly a memorable moment for me when I announced to this lovely couple that they had won this kitchen and the look of appreciation and excitement on their faces was all I could ask for. Oluwole was moved to tears and I’m so glad they have such a lovely gift to takeaway from the show.
Big thanks to Vurn by Pedini, Bosch and Pedini Nigeria Limited for your generosity. You are truly truly awesome!!!

The fourth episode of Make Me Fabulous Season 2 was truly a memorable one. The Show is all about keeping families together and strengthening marriages, and it gives us such joy when we hear from our couples that we are achieving exactly that.
During the Talk To Steph segment with our guest couple, Yemisi and Oluwole, I was overjoyed to hear that they had the opportunity to connect during their time spent on the show in a way that they normally wouldn’t have. The importance of spending quality time together with your spouse cannot be overemphasized. It’s very important for couples to get together once in a while to evaluate their relationship in the right setting and we’re glad we were able to do this for Yemisi and Oluwole!
Here is a short clip from my chat with the lovely couple:
On Episode 4 of Make Me Fabulous TV Show, we had the lovely opportunity of working with some fabulous designers who brought our visions to life and made our guest couple look lovely. I’m very happy to share with you some of these fabulous style moments today.
Big thanks to Ejiro Amos Tafiri and Yomi Casual for these lovely and breezy outfits.
It’s the fourth week already! Wow, how time flies!!!
On August 12th, we had the premiere of Make Me Fabulous Season 2 and now, we have gone down four fabulous couples. Yemisi and Oluwole were our guests on Episode 4 and we had a lovely time giving them a memorable experience. From their time at the Landmark Hotel, to all the fabulous treats we had for them and the Vow Renewal Ceremony, everything went great. But their dinner had a unique twist.
Oluwole is a Chef and we thought it would be nice for him to enjoy a romantic dinner with his wife in a kitchen. And it was not just any kitchen, this was a tastefully designed one from Vurn by Pedini. From the fittings, to the appliances, everything was top notch. And to add to their joy, Yemisi and Oluwole received a replica of the same kitchen in their home!
We can’t thank our wonderful sponsors enough for making this episode truly special. Here are some lovely photos:
Their day started with a bang and our first stop was the Landmark Hotels where we had a luxury suite prepared for them. We wanted that to be their first taste of what a fabulous experience truly is.It didn’t take them long before they started getting comfortable. But, they had no idea how much we had planned for them!Soon, it was time for Yemisi to go shopping! She met up with our celebrity stylist Chioma Okereke at the Ejiro Amos Tafiri store.The showroom of award winning fashion designer Ejiro Amos Tafiri had lots of style options. Chioma got to work by helping Yemisi pick the perfect outfit for her dinner date. All done!After her shopping, Yemisi got together with Oluwole once again and they headed over to the Tirta Ayu Spa where the serene environment and well trained staff were waiting to pamper them to the max.First, they got their feet washed like royalty….relaxed with a full body massage……and then rounded up with a soothing pedicure.Wow, they look so refreshed already.Next, Yemisi met up with our talented hairstylist – Ferdinand.In no time, Ferdinand worked his magic and got her hair looking glam!But we had one more step to go. Her makeup! And Kelechi of BelleBedazzled was on hand to bring out the best in Yemisi’s look.Oluwole waits patiently to see his beautiful wife in a tastefully designed kitchen by Pedini-Bosch Nigeria Ltd.Here she comes looking like a million bucks!!!That look of love and admiration on Oluwole’s face is everything we hoped to see!Dinner on this episode was uniquely different. Yemisi & Oluwole had their dinner prepared for them by a Chef in the tastefully designed kitchen by @pedini_boschng This special treat was even more appreciated considering the fact that Oluwole himself is a Chef!! What a lovely kitchen! Did you notice the quality Bosch appliances and exquisite design?It’s time for me to meet them!We had an interesting time talking about their time on the show. But the biggest surprise was yet to come. Yemisi & Oluwole were the lucky winners of a full kitchen set from Vurn by Pedini. They were super excited when I told them.The lovebirds share a kiss after a beautiful evening.The next morning, Yemisi got all glammed up for the Vow Renewal Ceremony. She looked stunning in that Ejiro Amos Tafiri dress.Oluwole couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw his beautiful wife.Their exchange of vows was a truly special one. They had a lot to say to each other and their words were filled with so much love.Cheers to fabulousity! They weren’t expecting it, but we had more gifts for them.
