For the foodies in Abuja, "Eat. Drink. Connect. Nigeria" are having an event at Nicon Luxury Hotel on the 7th of October. Learn more here.
For the ladies in Abuja, "Sisters & Mimosas" are having a self-love event on the 30th of September. Learn more here.
Well, what do you know? I typed a lot. My fingers hurt now. Follow me on Instagram, you know you want to. See you soon!
