Prince Harry and Meghan Markel (now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex) got married yesterday, May the 19th.

The Bride and her mother

 

Prince Harry and brother, Prince William

The Wedding took place in St George’s Chapel at 12pm, the church has so much beauty and sets a great ambience. 

It was a very much anticipated wedding just like Duke and Duchess’ (Prince William and Princess Kate) wedding. Many people worldwide watched it live and oh my, out of the 600 guests that came, some of them just looked absolutely stunning

Queen Elizabeth II
Serena Williams and Husband
Oprah Winfrey

The unique part of this royal wedding is the diversity. Meghan Markle is actually part black, this made the wedding like never before. An all black choir, never seen that and the guests were more diverse. It was a royal wedding like never before.

The Kingdom Choir

The cake had a very simple yet refreshing touch to it. The choir rendered beautiful and emotional songs. Everything about their wedding was different, especially the diversity and having the wedding on a Saturday, which was not so for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William.

Meghan Markle wore a simple white dress with very light makeup, though on social media some found her outfit and makeup distasteful and too plane. However, some saw the beauty in the simplicity and thought she looked good regardless, leave a comment down below to tell us your opinion of her dress and make-up.

Her reception dress was however very classy and beautiful. She and Harry drove off in a Blue Cadillac that was customized into an electric car. Money really is a good thing.

If you enjoyed the Royal wedding (it had a lot of people fantasizing about their dream wedding), tell us your favorite part of the wedding in the comment section below. Do Have a good day.

Dwayne Johnson a.k.a The Rock has evolved so much in the Hollywood industry. From being a wrestler in the nineties to rocking the 2010’s with his different appearances with distinguishable characters, he is seen to be one of the most successful actors.
To make his characters distinguishable it takes intense practice. You don’t watch a movie and think he is acting the same way. He is different in every one of them.

One thing that could be noted in him was determination. There are some actors that cannot act all genre of movies but he does. The rate at which he got ranked as the top was shocking and his diligence is highly spoken about.
A lot could be learnt from him and also implement into our careers.

He is skilled in Action, Comedy, drama and voice over for animations especially in Moana (if you haven’t seen it, whatcha waiting for, it’s worth the watch).

He is also an inspiration to many by sharing his fitness secrets and journey through Instagram plus he has a weight loss fitness show. Isn’t that amazing?

Dwayne is also a family man, his social media shows that and he recently had his third daughter. How nice!!!

Three lessons to be learnt from Dwayne, Determination, Hard work and Diligence.
For Success in what we do, these 3 are very important to propel us into what we are heading to.
He is an inspiration to many and we should thrive to be inspiring to people around us. You don’t have to be an actor to be inspiring. Start from where you are.

Time Management Tips For Enterpreneurs 1

We’ve all heard the phrase “time is money” over and over, which is very apt especially in the life of an entrepreneur. Entreprenuers need to have time management, it is very crucial in the outcome of their production and also the quality. Today, we’ll start with a two-part series on time management tips for entrepreneurs.
The list is not limited, these are just a few tips.

1)simplify the difficult and important tasks: Difficult tasks should be broken down to simpler tasks, this helps one to have a clearer mind and not be overwhelmed by the difficulty. It also helps one work faster and better

2) put the most important tasks first: The unimportant tasks should be the last on your list, Time maximization can be obtained through that, knowing that you’ve handled the necessary.

3) have time to rest: Resting plays a major role in our brain activity. When we’re tired, we respond slowly, we act slowly plus production is slow. A 15 minutes nap wouldn’t hurt, it makes you act faster and better. Add resting or nap to your to-do list, it won’t hurt.

4) Don’t plan all of your tasks for one day: You don’t have to complete all of your tasks in one day, that’s why you put the important ones first. Having to do all in one day can be overwhelming and can lead to stress and tiredness. Except your task load isn’t much, don’t try to squeeze everything in one day.

5) Start with the simplest task: starting with simplest and important task, gives you a better drive to cross out the other tasks on your list. It is a booster, compared to tackling very difficult ones all at ones, taking us back to point 1 which talks about simplifying the difficult tasks.

We hope you learn from these few tips for time management. Stay tuned for the second part of the series.

Happy Easter everyone, today I’ll be sharing the things to do on this break, so it doesn’t just come and go. Hope you enjoy it and this list isn’t exhaustive, more can be done.


Rest: The week might have been a very busy one for some of you. This weekend might be a good time to rest and also spend time with your family.

Watch a movie at home or cinema: watching movies is a good way to relax and have a bit of fun. Watch as many movies or TV shows as you want this short break.

Host a gathering: you could have a cookout or just a house party. A game night would also be a fun activity with friends and family.


Travel: Travelling to go visit family or have a mini get away if you can afford it. It incorporates fun into the weekend.


Read: If you’re a book lover but had a busy week, catch up this week by reading old and new books. You could also buy new ones, which leads me to my next point.


Go Shopping: Now might be a good time to get all you need before the break is over. It’s also a good time to splurge on yourself or others. While you’re at it, visit brief essentials shop to splurge on.


Work on your schedule for when the break is over to avoid been overwhelmed by a lot to do.


Exercise: For the fitfams or to be fitfams, you have all the time to exercise and prepare for the week ahead. You can also visit Beactive.ng on Instagram to buy workout clothes

Go Out: For some, it would be the church, for others, it would be to catch up with old friends. Also, you could go out to have fun at a party.

That would be all, stay tuned for more.
Thank you reading this post. Have a lovely day and Holiday.

10 Awesome Ways To Have a Productive Day

A new day calls for a start to something new or a continuation of the previous ones. However, how we start our day can determine how it all ends. Today, we’ll be discussing 10 ways to have a productive day. 

  1. Have A Long term and short term Goal: A Productive day starts with having goals. There is no drive if there is no goal. We just take the day as it comes and goes, not achieving much. Let’s have long term and short term goals.
  2. Make A To-do List Yesterday: To-do list should point at achieving our goals. We are motivated when we see daily tasks to push for what we want to achieve.
  3. Have a good night sleep: like it or not, a productive day starts from the night before. From to-do lists to picking out what you’re are going to wear. A good night’s sleep is very very important, it reduces stress thereby having more energy to function the following day.
  4. Avoid Social Media/phone if possible: instead of checking your phone for the latest post, how about taking that time to make proper planning and fill your mind with positivity
  5. Exercise: It doesn’t have to be a difficult one, stretching would do. It has been known to be a great mood nd energy booster.
  6. Have Breakfast: known to be the most important meal of the day, it makes one less grumpy and have more energy to tackle the day’s tasks.
  7. Listen to a Podcast, music or Motivational message
  8. Have a Positive Attitude: the best way to tackle the day’s task is to have a Positive Attitude. You don’t give up easily and you’re able to do more.
  9. Don’t be so hard on yourself: If you don’t finish your to-do list, don’t be hard on yourself, tomorrow is another day to make things better
  10. Take it one day at a time: don’t be under a lot of pressure to do all that you have to do, a lot of pressure and stress could lead to less productivity. If you can, take it to the next day if overwhelmed.

We do hope this post motivates and shows you how your day can be more productive. If you have other suggestions on having a productive day, please do let us know.

The #PowerWithin Campaign is still on, visit our Instagram page to see the stories of the Women who used their power within to make a difference and influence their environment. You can also check it out here

Have a wonderful and productive day.

Women: Embrace the Power that’s Within.

March is a very special month for mothers and women worldwide. During this month, most countries celebrate mother’s day and International women’s day. To celebrate this, Brief Essentials is launching the #PowerWithin campaign. This campaign will feature voices of women who recognize the #PowerWithin and have used and are using that power to Make a Difference – in their communities, homes and businesses.

The #PowerWithin campaign is 2-pronged. On one part, it celebrates the voices and stories of women in Nigeria and worldwide and on the other part it is call to others to recognise that real progress begins the moment we realise that there is so much more within us to make a difference.  It is indeed true, that great things begin on the inside – If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends; if the same egg is broken by an inside force, life begins.  This summarizes what “Power Within” is. The mind is really powerful and it is important that we hold a positive focus if we want to attract opportunities and succeed in life.

Power Within is call to all women to never underestimate the power that is within. It represents the voices of women who, despite the struggles, challenges and obstacles around them, have gone ahead to create the life they want through positive thoughts and positive actions. We will be sharing true stories and quotes from women globally throughout the month of March.

Never underestimate the power that is, and has always been within you.

#PowerWithin

The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day is Press for Progress. There is no better time than now to indeed press for progress to increase access to and create more opportunities for women globally.   I believe we can only #PressforProgress when we realize that real progress starts the moment we come to terms with our most important ally – ourselves and thereby embrace the power that’s within us.

We have to realise that we are special, talented, beautiful, creative and we have to strive to accomplish something greater than ourselves.

I believe we can only #PressforProgress when we realize that real progress starts the moment we come to terms with our most important ally – ourselves and thereby embrace the power that’s within us.

Seun Tayo-Balogun

Are you a woman? You too can join in by sharing your voice. You ask, how? Please send an email containing:

  • A personal quote, story (not more than 2 succinct paragraphs), mantra, icebreaker that relates to the theme #PowerWithin or that shows how you have used the #PowerWithin to #PressforProgress, or make a difference or become a better version of yourself;
  • and a portrait of yourself.
  • The email address is info@briefessentials.com.

Your posters and stories will be shared across our social media platforms @briefessentials and @_thebriefng and on our website all through the month of March.

Here’s to making a difference and inspiring someone to recognise the #PowerWithin and to #PressforProgress. 

In the meantime, click here to get inspired by the words and stories from women worldwide!
