  • See what I’m reading!

    You Can Do It (even if others say you can’t) is a John Mason classic!

    The quotes and issues addressed in the book are powerful enough to change your life forever.

    A 189-page book, Mason tackles the many issues of life that keep us from growing or attaining success. It’s a must read for anyone who is dying to think out of the box and embrace the truth about life.

    Let me share some of the significant quotes in the book:

    If the truth were known, most of our troubles arise from loafing when we should be working, and talking when we should be listening.

    Regret is an appalling waste of energy.

    Tomorrow is the only day in the year that appeals to the lazy man.

    The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problem are your own. You don’t blame them on your mother, the ecology or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.

    The most important thing you can ever do in life is find a dream worth chasing- and when you catch it, find a bigger one.

    Hate is a prolonged form of suicide.

    Envy has no holiday, it has no rest. The envy that compares us to others is foolishness.

    Have the confidence enough to know that you and God make a majority.

    Wow! I’m blown away all over again just reading it.

    Enjoy the beginning of a new week, new hopes.

  • Make Me Fabulous – First Winner!

    Ifeoma Tunde Asolo

    I’ve never seen a more excited woman than Ifeoma Asolo. She had such vibrant energy and excitement from the moment we placed the first call to tell her she had been selected for Make Me Fabulous till the very end of our lovely day.

    Yesterday, the Make Me Fabulous team and I treated Ifeoma and her husband Tunde to a great time. I won’t let the cat out of the bag yet and give you all the details, but I can definitely say it was so much fun. The couple’s delight, happiness and excitement with the day’s event was very rewarding for myself and my team. Her smiles and her transformed look was all we needed to feel fulfilled.

  • When I Was A Child…

    Stephanie Linus

    When I was much younger, I used to dream of becoming a music artiste (who knows? maybe I still do… lol!).

    I was in the choir, I loved singing (still do) and dreamt of being on some world stage singing to thousands of people. This was before I discovered my true passion in Acting.

    I know many of us had different dreams as a child. At the time I was growing up, almost every young boy wanted to be a Pilot or an Engineer. Now it’s different. Boys want to be Footballers, Musicians and Politicians. The girls also dreamed of becoming Doctors and now they want to be Models. But the truth is that not many people end up becoming what they dreamed of as children. (more…)
