On Golden Kiss by Beguile by Ọma


It took 5 years but here we are.

5 years for Seduction to have not just a competition but get itself knocked out of my being my favourite perfume.

I got the new release by Beguile by Ọma, Golden Kiss. I wasn't really tempted to buy it first cos of the cost and I was looking at being financially prudent.

But luckily I got some monetary gifts during my birthday and having come out of a malaria ailment and getting a few client gigs, I figured I should splurge on something.

And the only thing I really had interest in getting is it. It's currently my most perfume spend yet but totally worth it. 

How do I describe the scent profile?

Literally, it's a sweet floral scent. But to evoke the emotions, it smells luxurious. Like you see those old money aesthetics and being put together. Like someone aptly described it, "it smells like the woman I want to be." That's the vibe it gives.

The notes are giving vintage perfume vibes but not in that granny (coughs in Coco Channel Mademoiselle). 

You smell it and you think vacationing in Dubai, on a yacht at Monaco, at an Opera in Italy, Sipping Bordeaux in France, relaxing at the beach in Mauritius, visiting the Louvre in France, etc, etc...

You get the drift. The feeling it gives you is expensive, alluring, femininity and luxurious.

When Ihuoma had said on her YouTube that it's her best perfume made yet, I just knew I had to get it. I just needed to have it in my collection.

See, I had quit a job in January cos realistically I ain't gonna afford a Beguile by Oma perfume (and other pertinent expenses) if I continued working there. That's how loyal I am to this brand. 

I said I'll keep purchasing all their releases if I can help it. Unfortunately Nigeria is kicking my ass so I can't help it with all of the releases.

Like this is a brand I got introduced to when the perfumes were 15k naira. So the plan was to grow with the brand and I can't be stagnant while they're growing. It just doesn't make sense.

So here is to taking risks and going for what we want.

And while I haven't gotten exactly the stable role I got, I'm doing better than I was in January. So here is to continuing in that direction.

Notions (Today)

Today was something else. Tiring but well spent. (8/8/2019) My first class by 7, and we ran to Political science Dept as it was raining. I didn't really stay through the lectures, it was occupied. I took some shots cos I felt I was dressing cool and all. From there, I went back to the department and my friends and I decided to go to the market to measure the clothes my friends and I would wear for our departmental night. On reaching to the market, to the shop where we could buy materials. Ifechukwu and I bargained for the price. I surprised myself the more with how vocal I was about selection of the material to wear and the bargaining. From there, we got to the place where we measured the clothes, we received biscuits from the people on the line as one was celebrating birthday. It was there I learnt my cloth size as I hadn't measured in a while. We were en route coming back and Ifechukwu saw a place where "bell" was open. She saw an opportunity to buy cloth she w...

Be awake

 While you're yet to discover your passion/purpose in future, can you just learn simple handy skills to have (just in case)... I know we've said since time immemorial not to pressure anyone or to rest from lockdown, but going with the state of this country, it's of utmost importance that you awake from your slumber. The time for sleeping is gone - over. You should be wide awake by now. This country is a mess... We are on our own. So as you're yet to discover the passion/purpose you should have, try and learn something significant. Learn Google and MS suites - at least even if you no learn anything to do now. Many Undergraduates cannot even navigate as little as MS Word. They don't know what index is, Text alignment, Pagination, etc... Not to talk of the other suites. In my case, I mastered Google docs when my friend (in another location) asked me to create play drama.  Prior to then, I didn't know you can edit and review comments in the application. And that was...

On building JavaScript without help - 1

I know, I have not garnered the expertise YET That I'm very much, still a beginner in web development But it doesn't make me feel any less sad. Because when I follow along tutorials, I grasp what the instructor is doing. And I code along with them However, when push comes to shove (as it did this afternoon, I'm stuck) However, I'm not going to beat myself up, cos I actually succeeded in creating a toggle on the DOM And I'd been wrapping my head around how I did those.  Of course, I know this is a progress, and I tried. And I created something without following along instructions. I'm just recording this here, so I'd reminisce over how I'd felt. At how "slow" I'd felt at this point, this day. I still have a long way to go. But I console myself with the fact that 5 months ago, I didn't know what the hell "a variable" was I was unable to link my stylesheet cos I didn't know how to add a folder A month ago, I didn't know h...
