Shopping Online as a Nigerian

If you are like me in Nigeria and love to shop online rather than go to the market, here are some sites you'll definitely love and thank me for. They range from general discount/auction sites to clothing, shoes, makeup (Ben Nye powder, Urban decay primer potion, etc.), accessories, electronics, household items, food items etc. They are based in Nigeria or deliver to Nigeria.

You're welcome :D

Here's my list:

• BuyMyLux
• Jiji
• The5kshop
• BeautyRevNG
• Dealdey
• Konga
• Jumia
• Kaymu
• SMEMarketHub
• Asos (yes guys, dey deliver to Nigeria just gotta be ready to pay the charges)
• Nkataa
• Zeta Shop
• Nack
• Ali Express (yes guys, dey deliver to Nigeria though takes a while)
• Mall for Africa
• Hello Food
• OLX
• Natural Nigerian
• Kaymu
• Shop to my Door
• Jand2Gidi (I got my wedding dress delivered from the UK to my front door in perfect condition through them)
• Houseboy
• Errand Boy

What you need to do before shopping online:

• Do some in-depth research on the site you want to shop from (their physical address, contact details, their reputation, customer service, delivery time, charges, etc.)
• Read customer reviews and complaints (on their sites,blogs, social media, forums-Nairaland,etc.)
• Read the FAQ section of the website thoroughly
• Explore the payment options (make sure its secure)
• Explore the delivery options/schedule
• Make direct enquiries if necessary
• If you are satisfied with your findings on the site, go ahead with your shopping

That's all i have for now, will add more to the list as i find them. I hope you find something you love.

My Ankara Love!!!! ST Colours

I have soooooooooo many outstanding posts lined up for you guys. I have just been so swamped with work and not really been in writing mode. I will put up the posts soon though, i have managed to clear up my schedule a bit and i have drafted a couple of the posts. I promised Stephanie i would do a post on her website and i hate faltering on my promises so here goes.

I remember Stephanie from uni days because of her smile, it would just light up a room whenever she came in, when she reached out to me via mail to compliment my blog i was happy (i love any feedback i get as regards my blog). and then i went to her website and realized it was the lady with the beautiful smile and she apparently infected all her lovely models.

I am a lover of all things Ankara and colorful, although my wardrobe doesn't testify enough of my love, i think i have the right pieces to express my love to an extent. You can check out my pinterest board http://pinterest.com/jemimahnaa/all-things-ankara-similar/ which testifies my love to an extent. 

Oya straight to the matter, Stephanie's website(For Afrochics who want to express who they are) i totally love it!! Why? Not just 'cos of stephanie's smile o...lol..'cos she has some unique pieces. She makes African inspired Tees/Accessories/Bags/Ipad cases/Clutch purses

My favorite are:

1.Ankara Ruffle Brooch

2.Bow-Tie Brooch

3.Bow Alice Band

4.Flower Hair Comb (My fave)

5.Earrings

6.The Afrochic collection (Dooooppppeeeee!!!)

The Lovely Stephanie behind ST Colours: All smiles
