Wow! The joy of seeing another Christmas! Let us thank God for his mercies. No matter what we went through all year round, we are blessed because we have life. There is nothing greater than life, nothing! The dead has no hope, but you do. So raise your head up, wipe your tears, and be happy that God counted you worthy to see another year as it comes to an end.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
God bless you all!

Lynda Osai-Ubawike!
Lynda was all excited when we placed the first call. What an exciting young woman, we said to ourselves. Why would she need a Make-Me-Fabulous treat?
Well she did (like every other comment we got)! In a young marriage with two kids, Lynda wasn’t feeling as sexy and pretty as she wanted to feel anymore. Work and family was taking a toll on her and she longed for a BREAK!
Lynda and her husband live in Abuja, so they were chauffeured to the airport straight to Lagos where the treat of a lifetime began…
“When I got the call from Joy saying I had won, I couldn’t stop screaming. It was a dream come true! First she called me and asked about different things then said she’d call later. That took another 45 minutes, when she called back my heart was already in my throat literally! I thought living in Abuja would disqualify me, but it was her third call that she announced I was the winner of the first Make Me Fabulous reality show by Stephanie Daily! I was too excited to breathe!
The show rekindled the sparkle in my marriage and opened our eyes to what drew us together in the first place. It made my husband re-appreciate me and see me in a different light. The Stephanie Daily crew treated us with respect and kindness from our home in Abuja to Lagos, the crew was professional and very caring. At the end of the day we were like one big family. We were booked in a 4-star hotel, I had my hair made lovely with Kanekalon products, I went on a free shopping spree and then to the spa. I had my make-up done by a professional make-up artiste, and I was styled by a celebrity stylist! In the evening I joined my husband at The Avenue Suites in Victoria Island where we were booked and enjoyed an exotic dinner. It was all so beautiful! And then the gifts came – LG flat screen TV, his and hers wristwatches from Swatch, Mango gift cards – all were bonuses we didn’t expect! Not only was I made to look and feel fabulous, I had exciting gifts to look forward to rocking! The experience was indeed amazing and fabulous. We also got to meet Mrs. Stephanie Linus, a true star and a beautiful woman in and out! After two days of great fun, we were chauffeured to the airport to board our flight back to Abuja – all expense paid. It was indeed a wonderful experience.
Thank you, Stephanie. May you continue to reap from the blessings that you sow into the lives of others in all the opportunities you have opened through this blog. God bless!” – Lynda Osai-Ubawike

In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:37-39
“Just because someone hurt you yesterday
doesn’t mean you should start living life today
in constant fear of being hurt tomorrow.”
Some people are always complaining because roses have thorns.
I am thankful that thorns have roses – Alphonse Karr
Understand that in life there’ll be challenges – people will hurt you, you may lose your job, lose a loved one, you may be in lack for a season, love may reject you, you may face personal crises on so many levels…But what you must never forget is that you woke up to see another day, you still have breath, you are still alive. That shows that there is hope; and when you have hope, you have another chance to re-write your script and aim for the kind of life you desire for yourself.
Let’s thank God that even in the midst of pain, it is still a beautiful world!

The road to success is not straight. There is a curb called Failure, a loop called Confusion; speed bumps called Friends; red lights called Enemies; caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination; an engine called Perseverance; insurance called Faith, and a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success!!
May you find what you are looking for this week!

“Whereby are given unto us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience Godliness; and to Godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound; they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the Knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ.”
– 2 Peter 1:4-8
Have a fruitful week!

Your comments opened our eyes to the reality of what many people are going through in their relationship! I just have a few things to say concerning some of the comments we got…
Judith Okafor – I am not sure why you would stay with a man who tells you that you are not beautiful! Your spouse should be the one person that truly sees deep into your soul and appreciates you for who you are! It is very sad that you have to hear your partner say that to you! So sad!
Unachi: If your girlfriend is dating her boss, why is she flipping over the fact that you flirt with girls on facebook? Both of you might need to re-evaluate your relationship so you get the best from it.
Omolara Obafemi: please do not say your marriage is on the verge of breaking down just because your husband is super-busy at the moment. He is probably spending all this time so he can provide the necessary financial security for his family. Give him the support he needs, and continue to pray for God’s grace upon your marriage, and the strength to get by.
Sopsunky: you need to have a heart-to-heart talk with your man. He is supposed to be the primary giver of the home, so it is inappropriate for him to leave those responsibilities for you to take care of, especially as it concerns the children. If he doesn’t respond favourably, you might need the assistance of family members or clerics that he respects to intervene. All the best!
Sharon Adjoa Amnanda: if your boyfriend wants to end the relationship based on the reasons given, then please move on and away from it! It would be different if he was willing to “fight” for you, against the wishes of his parents. But since he is on their side, isn’t it wise for you to move on so you don’t get burned-out eventually?
Dafe Best: in love, the key word is – “us” not “me”. So when you say your fiancée doesn’t do things the way YOU want, it sounds a bit selfish. Find out why she is always sticking to her ways, try to empathise with her and work it out knowing she has a strong personality.
Shallyaaa: you might need to show your boyfriend how to “shower you with gifts” by doing exactly what you want for him. Let us assume he isn’t aware that romance comes with buying your loved one special gifts; the best way to teach him is to practice what you want him to learn. Buy him a nice cologne, handkerchiefs, a nice shirt…after a while he will reciprocate the gesture.
Courage: wow! Your husband sure has guts. I think at this stage you might need to get someone he respects to talk to him. And if you think you need to improve on the things he likes, please do. But I think it is wrong for him to blatantly address you like that – making it look as if cheating on you is a lesser sin.
Owen: as much as the make-me-fabulous date will be good for your man, his self-confidence is something he has to decide to build regardless of how he looks or his financial status.
Wumi: when partners act as if they are in a competition, it is the fastest way to kill romance! You should have a chat with him and address this issue. All the best!
Phew! I hope we have helped some of you with our advice; beyond the make-me-fabulous treat, we want you to be happy in your relationship!
If you have anything to add to what has been said, please leave a comment and save someone’s relationship today!
We shall reveal the short-list of those we have considered for the treat shortly (PLEASE NOTE IT IS A DIFFERENT LIST FROM THE PEOPLE WE ADVISED HERE!). Remember that eventually only ONE person (and his/her partner) will go for this special Make-Me-Fabulous experience!
Till then, keep your fingers crossed.
Love ya
xoxo
