iTEL iNOTE BEYOND 3G - REVIEW!

Hey techies, a few weeks ago I received a phone from iTel, prior to that I have never heard anything about the brand and I was to curious to try my hands on the phone. 

The iTel iNote is what I got and it is an android phone, it comes in two colors: white and black. I got the black one and it has dual sim slots [This android market is becoming very very competitive, I like it!]

Design: It measures 137.8 mm in height, 69 mm wide and the depth is 9.5 mm. It fits right in my hands, not too big and not too small. Just snug. However, it is not lightweight. For some reason I love that it does not have the brand name inscribed on the front of the phone, it's just plain.

Accessories: Leather case, Power Bank, itel Charging and Data Cable, Battery, iNote Stereo Earphones

Specifications: It runs on a single core processor, 1 GHz CPU Speed with RAM of 512 and ROM of 512. It runs a standard Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. Display 4.5 TFT, 256K colours, 854 x 480 (HVGA). The front camera is 3 mp, back  camera 1.3 mp, LED Flash, Auto Focus, 1500 MAh battery,talk time of up to 7hrs and standby time up to 240 hrs. audio MP3, AMR, WAV AAC MIDI and video MP4 AGI 3GP

This phone is fantastic if you’re looking for a smart phone but not willing to spend so much money on it. Very budget friendly: it retails between 12, 000 to 15,000 Naira. I mean for a phone that has FM Radio, access to apps like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and more, with picture quality that is ok, it is just fine.

Have you come across this phone? What did you think of it?

HOW TO GET RID OF SEVERE ACNE! LOOK AT THE TRANSFORMATION!

Hi lovelies, I have been following OmaBelle on YouTube for a while now and I always used to wonder how the acne on her face could be cured. I never used to have acne until recently which I would put down to stress but it seems like she has been struggling with this for a while and it is all over her face, mine is not that serious but it still drives me nuts.

She recently uploaded a video showing her acne has cleared up, I quickly clicked on the link...I was just staring like "it's a lie...." Can you see the transformation??? She's a kind lady so she explained in detail what she used which are products from acne.org . Watch the video to get the scoop, and if you know someone suffering from acne like this you should show it to them too, be a dear. This is not an advertorial...just sharing! If you have other methods, please share too!

BUSINESS CARDS FOR BLOGGERS? WHY NOT ! 5 TIPS FOR A SMASHING BUSINESS CARD + GIVEAWAY!

Someone asked me a few days ago, why does a blogger need a business card? I want to share the answer. Why not? If you're a serious blogger you definitely need one: it's awesome at networking events. I have been invited to a couple of events and after networking people request for my business card so I always go with the popular excuse..."Oh sorry, my cards have been exhausted, I'm ordering new ones" ...L.I.A.R! Lol. Enough with this lie-lie life. I have come to a reasonable conclusion that I need a business card for SISIYEMMIE.COM as a #DoroBlogger. 

When Printivo offered to send me some cards I was so lazy about it...it took about 4 months for me to finally decide to design one, and then I kept forgetting to finish the design everyday. They were too kind in their reminder and offered to design it for me. YAY! This lazy babe was happy! In a rush to have it done and over with I sent my details which included a phone number (for business purposes only), my email address, my blog address and my picture. In less than 3 days my cards had arrived; delivered to me. Oh the joy! I fell in love with them.

KEFEE IS DEAD?! #BRANAMA #KOKOROKO #IGBUNU

Typically my Fridays are for reviews and I was just in the process of publishing one when I got news that Kefee had passed. I really don't want to believe that someone so young and talented will die just like that. She had so many dreams and we knew of quite a few: aren't her and her husband recent graduates of video production and directing at the Chicago Access Network TV?  I was really praying that she would come out of that coma, like I don't even know how to compose myself today. I love her and I love her music!

From the reports she was on her way to the US but the plane had to make an emergency landing midway when she collapsed, since then she's been in a coma. It was also reported that she was pregnant and had pre clampsia, I did my research and this is what I found: " preeclampsia is a condition that pregnant women develop. It is marked by high blood pressure and a high level of protein in the urine. Preeclamptic women will often also have swelling in the feet, legs, and hands.i f undiagnosed, preeclampsia can lead to eclampsia, a serious condition that can put you and your baby at risk, and in rare cases, cause death. Women with preeclampsia who have seizures are considered to have eclampsia" Webmd

A part of me is very angry that she died and almost questioning why a miracle didn't happen, even with all the prayers she was receiving worldwide, but we cannot question God oh. Life is really fleeting, one moment you're here and the next you're gone. Just like that! Na so people dey die?

This is just so heartrendingly sad! RIP Kefee.

HOW TO "SERVICE" YOUR RELATIONSHIP!

Betamotivation

Everything that you want to last requires maintenance and constant "servicing"...that includes relationships. It is very easy to fall into the rot of forgetting to care. If couples spent as much time and effort into maintaining their relationships as much as they did during the "toasting" stages, most relationships would be blissful! Don't allow negligence destroy the beauty of your relationship. Service it. Here are some pointers on how to "service" your relationship.

1. Be Yourself: Don't fall into the habit of letting go, so much so that you don't know who you are anymore. Set some time to rejuvenate, you can still do somethings on your own. Press refresh on yourself often: this can rejuvenate your relationship. Don't suddenly stop making your hair, appearances matter. Yes, beauty is skin deep but "Ain't nobody got time for that"! 

source

2. Take Responsibility: Each person brings baggage into a relationship: no one is perfect. Some people spend the first few years trying to change the other person, this can be very frustrating. Accept them for who they are and take responsibility for the baggage you bring into the relationship. Work on your shortcomings and over time they would see the need to work on theirs. Take responsibility for your own happiness and self-worth. 

3. Meet Each Others Needs: This is extremely important. No one enjoys being in a relationship just “because”… this is why it is important to discuss expectations, if there is no communication you would not be able to know what the other needs [...needs change over time] Random acts of kindness go a long way, help each other out.

4. Enjoy One Another : Spend more time together than apart and spend it having fun! Be friends with one another and do things that keep the bond going strong. Go on dates, try new things, take road trips together, embark on a fun project together, just make sure whatever you do brings you together and you enjoy each other. When you stop enjoying each other the relationship becomes boring and mechanical. 

Source

5. Forgive: There is a lot of forgiving that has to be done for a relationship to keep running smoothly. You will offend each other, and you need to learn how to accept apologies and move on.

Do no not keep revisiting past offences. Learn to apologise [I promise it won't kill you] and learn to accept apologies. Keep forgiving each other. "The things two people do to each other they remember. If they stay together, it's not because they forget; it's because they forgive."- Demi Moore

I definitely did not cover everything and I am hoping you will have tips to share with me too, how have you been maintaining your relationship?

Ps. Congrats to Kola of BetaMotivation on her wedding and for letting me use her photo! Too cute! Be sure to visit her blog.

MY HAIR LATELY: CURL A BY BEAUTY XTRAODINARY !!!

Hey lovelies, you've already seen this hair in some of my posts. It's a wig oh! LOL. Well, it is originally a weave that Beauty Xtraordinary turned into a wig for me. It's simply called the Curl A and it is not pricey at all. Beauty Xtraordinary was kind to offer me this hair, I did a mini showcase of the hair on my YouTube Channel ( that's the video below). Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE by clicking HERE 

HERE ARE THE DETAILS:

• Human Or Synthetic | It's human hair.
• Density | It is silky soft, very lightweight
• Length | I got the hair in 16 and 14 inches but because it's curly it looks short.
• How long I've worn it | I've worn it for over a month now: I received it in May.
• Flexibility | This hair can be washed, coloured, bleached but you have to be careful in handling
• Curly Pattern |The curl pattern is ringlets...just soft spirally ringlets, just look how pretty that is. I've been tempted to brush it out into an afro.
• Tangling/Shedding |Curly hair tangles easily but this hasn't and the fact that it's a wig helps (I don't sleep on it) 
• Weave Or Wig | It is in a wig, I asked Beauty Xtraordinary to put it in a wig so I can still have time to treat my natural hair. So at your request they can create a wig for you with your weave or weave you buy from them.
• Contact Details | Beauty Xtraordinary 08100285838 | beautyxtra@gmail.com | 12 Osho Street Opebi Link Road, Lagos | @beauty_xtra

THE BIG WAR: 2FACE IDIBIA SET TO SHOW HIS OTHER FACE AT THE BANQUET OF STARS AGAINST CANCER (BOSAC) ON SUNDAY JUNE 8, 2014 AT EKO HOTELS AND SUITES, VI

2Face Idibia has 2 faces but you have only seen one!

At the Banquet of Stars against Cancer (BOSAC) you will get to see the classical face of 2Face as he and other A-list Artistes join one of Africa’s greatest music Maestro, Sir Emeka Nwokedi, the conductor of the Lagos City Chorale in a performance by the Choir and Orchestra of the Musical Society of Nigeria (MUSON). You can’t afford to miss this!

This All-Stars All- Brands Act is the first- ever spectral carpet event in the world. The spectral carpet is a carpet of many colours which represents the colours of the corporate brands on one hand and the colours of the different cancers on the other hand. In other words, at the BOSAC, all brands are to join in the fight against all cancers.

BOSAC is a Benefit Event, quite unlike any ever hosted in the country, to raise funds in support of the BIG WAR Against Cancer in Nigeria. This event is unique, in that the Organized Private Sector is putting its full united weight behind an identified cause. Specifically, the BIG WAR Against Cancer aims to take cancer prevention to the grassroots through the use of Mobile Cancer Centres (MCC); each MCC costs N 95 million. Currently over 100,000 Nigerians are diagnosed with cancer and 80,000 die from the disease every year. The Nigerian death ratio of 4 in 5 is the worst in the whole world. We can reverse this trend by supporting the BIG WAR.

IF I SEE ONE MORE PENIS...

Please Nigerian men, what is this disgusting thing some of you do? At first I didn't notice it but LATELY all I see is Penis. Yes. Penis. I am tired. O ti su mi. 

Yesterday, I was on my way home and there was this man, standing facing the busy road, not the bush behind him oh, the road where people drive past and what was he doing? He just finished peeing and was jiggling the black penis up down, left right as if the thing needs exercise….right in the full glare of everybody who passed…he seemed to enjoy the activity because the look on his face said so. Nor be crase man, I studied him head to toe. I was absolutely mortified because that is the extreme I’ve seen.

TECNO R7 REVIEW #LiveSmart

I think I'm even more excited to do a review of the Tecno R7 now than before because everyday I discover new features that make me go "WOW"...This is the second Tecno phone I've used and I must confess, I am super impressed. Let's not call it a phone, it's actually a Phablet (phone + tablet) and it has dual sim ports (normal sim size). I will not babble for too long because I want to do a very easy to understand review for simple minded people like me that don't understand a lot of techie stuff. If you missed the unboxing of the Tecno R7 click HERE. I bet some of you just want to know if the phone good abi e no good...oya lets go!

The Tecno R7 is a sleek, slim stylish phone (phablet). Bigger than a normal sized phone but smaller than a tablet, it comes in different colours, Block, White, Champagne Gold, Sapphire and Bronze. I got the Black one.  It came with a power bank, earphone, responsive smart view cover, 2 pin charger, USB cable, user guide and warranty.  It is a dual sim phone (normal sim size). One thing I have to mention: this phone is very fluid and responsive to touch, navigating through pages and apps is just a breeze!

Weekend Selfie

Hello!!! How una dey? How body? Happy New Month!!! How was your weekend??? LOL. Mine was very very eventful *rubs hands in glee. The first to leave a comment + email address wins airtime recharge card. Someone suggested that I start inviting my readers on these reviews I do...what do you guys think? Oya make una pray so I go get plenty money to take you out :D I would love that. The highlight of my weekend was my interview that was aired on NTA on Saturday... I got a buzz from that. 

Let’s start from Friday, after work Bobo and I decided to see a movie, when we got there the movie was SOLD OUT. Seriously? It was a Nollywood movie, “Devil in The Detail" starring my darling Nse: I have a crush on her. Please who has seen that movie? Was it That interesting? Well, that kind of turned my Friday “topsy turvy” because that was the only thing I wanted to do, so we spent some time watching people at Silverbird Galleria. People watching is very very interesting, you go see the one wey dey scratch nyash, you will overhear funny/weird conversations. It was interesting. After people watching we got some ice cream and called it a night.
