So, I needed to buy some facial exfoliator/facial scrub. I checked the stores and couldn't find any that I wanted because the options were very limited. Ladies know that you don't joke with your exfoliator. It a huge part of the skincare regimen. So, needless to say, it was a bit frustrating. That is one item I did not stock up on!! It was an oversight!
Anyways, while making arrangements to have some sent/brought over, I had to improvise and yup! I made some myself! I rememebered that I had somewhere at some point learned how to make body/facial exfoliator so without further ado, I got in the kitchen and wala! I had my very own homemade exfoliator! Now, the true test was in using it -would it work or would I have break outs big time! LOL! Well, it worked!! Yay! I must say, I just might have to package that stuff and sell it! LOL! I just need to find a name for the skincare line....hmm...Anyways, as they say "desperate times call for desperate measures" and sometimes you don't know what's in you till you are in a situation and you have to figure it out...uh oh, now I'm preaching! :)
Alrightie, later :)

Top Ten Things You'll Notice About Abuja
10. The air is different. I can't really explain it but it's just different.
9. Everyone uses their car horns. Sometimes way too much. All you hear is "pe, pe, pe!!!" Quite irritating.
8. There are not many, if any, skyscrapers like you would see in other cities but there are a lot of pink roofs. It's kinda cute. LOL.
7. The roads are actually pretty ok.
6. There are a lot of bad cars on the road that emit A LOT of exhaust fumes. Probably what adds to the air being different. Essentially polluted.
5. When it rains, it POURS!
4. The food is great! It taste like real food. Not all that over-processed stuff. The plaintain is plaintain! ALL ORGANIC baby! LOL.
3. The drivers are CRAZY!
