Hello beauties, 

Happy new month to you! Christmas is almost here and I pray God continues to bless you as you also strive to please Him in all you do! God has been truly awesome to me and I can't even begin to tell you how so. 
Many times I have stomped, huffed and puffed in despair but Heavenly Father never fails to teach me to rely on Him. 

Today's post is about this beautiful soul; Fadekemi. It all began on the 4th of September 2014. I was in the kitchen doing dishes on a beautiful afternoon when Dudu(you remember her from my 'mo gbo, mo branch' story?) called to tell me that a certain Fadekemi person would add me via BBM and that I should be nice(can you imagine...as if I am a terrible person!!!)

It's wedding season.....yaaaaay, and October started with Omotoyosi otherwise known as Dammy! We were at Festac/Amuwo Odofin axis on the 10th and 11th of October 2014 to glam up this African black barbie. How did this alliance come to be? Story time!

So, Omotoyosi is friends with an upgrade student of mine, Tinuke. Tinuke knew that 'toyosi had already contacted another MUA but felt it was her sworn duty to steer 'toyosi to the path of righteousness....halleluyah somebody!
