"Sparkle & Shine" Christmas Challenge


Hey guys, it's been a minute but we haven't been away intentionally (promise), lets just say we have so much to be thankful for :o) ... And just like that December is here yayyy, its my favorite time of the year again and I'm finding it hard to believe how fast the year has gone by.

Christmas brings beautiful memories of our mum, she had a slight obsession with Christmas and ordinarily by now she would have brought out the Christmas tree, I'm actually now trying to remember where she kept it. She would usually buy tree ornaments and cards well ahead of Christmas, we recently found loads of leftover Christmas cards in her pile of stuff. Growing up she got Segi and I matching dresses for Christmas, I also remember following her to Iponri (a gift haven in Lagos) where she would buy Christmas gifts for everyone and I always looked forward to wrapping and distributing them with her. I am definitely keeping these values to share with my children God willing.

This Christmas Segi and I plan and hope to have a great time with friends, family and you guys, yes youuuu, you ask how? Well this year we have another fun Christmas challenge, yayyy. Remember our "Santa Baby" Christmas challenge last year? That was so much fun that we couldn't pass up the chance to have another one this year. This year's challenge is similar to last year's, while we styled ourselves in outfits consisting of traditional Christmas Colours last year, our theme this year is "Sparkle and Shine" , afterall its party season we might as well ;o)

    Nice challenge. I actually saw pictures of the challenge last year, but I wasn't able to participate. I think I'll give it a try this year. *So many ideas* :)

  3. Proper excited to participate. I was wondering can the pictures be in a collage so as to show the front, side and back view of the outfit or just two separate pictures with a view each?

  4. Hi Tomilola, you can send them either way so long as the pictures show your outfit clearly.
