In my last few years, I have decided to try out some of the beautiful hotels the country has to offer. Since I have stayed in a number of great hotels within Accra as well as Kumasi, and have also visited hotels in Cape Cast and Aburi. One hotel that I have have had the pleasure of staying in while in Accra is the beautiful Golden Tulip Accra hotel.

Last Christmas I stayed at Golden Tulip for a few days; it was also my second time staying there. Here is a look back at my experience at Golden Tulip Accra hotel...

Happy New Month!: November Orange Feature of the Month - Bouswari Handbag

Happy New Month!

Wow, I can't believe we are already in November! The year went by so fast!!

As we have come closer to the end of the year, this means my binge shopping online spree is about to begin lol. The first thing on my list to get my hands on was this beautiful Bouswari satchel bag. I had been eying this Senegalese brand of bags for the longest time and have always been interested in gettinga bag for myself. Therefore, as soon as I saw that they had added an orange bag to their new collection, I was immediately sold!!

Thus, my orange feature this month is my lovely new orange leather Bouswari bag. I especially love that this is a local Toronto brand and that all her handbags are crafted and handmade in Senegal.

Interior Design: Warm Colours to Heat up the Mild Spring Weather

Hi Afrofusioners! Jenny here with some tips on adding warm Spring colours to your living space. 

Mother Nature is becoming really selective on the days she decides to maintain her weather choices. Her inconsistencies have not only affected our moods, but the need of redesigning our spaces to correlate with the season. Spring cleaning allows us to do more than just remove the clutter we’ve built up from the winter stress. It allows us flexibility in steering away from the all-knowing domestic design ideas, to more innovating, and entertaining decor...

Beauty: Foundations for Oily/Deep Skin Review

Hi Everyone! Lakshmee here with with a review of some of the foundations I use that work best for oily/deep skin.

As a girl who is completely obsessed with makeup, I’m always trying new things and on a hunt for new amazing products. This week I went through all the foundations I own and decided to only keep the ones I use frequently.

Whether it has too red of an undertone or it's way too moisturizing for my skin, I realized that I had accumulated quite a collection of foundations. After ditching a few products, I was left with 3 foundations that I use for different occasions and happen to really like...
