The trips to the beach, the pool in your backyard or the tan you just cant wait to get, wont be perfect without the right bathing suit!

You only need three rules when it comes to picking out the right swimsuit for yourself.

#1. You must absolutely LOVE the suit you decide to wear! no exception. If you do not LOVE it, don’t bother buying it!

#2. Make sure it flatters your body shape! If you are a curvy woman, high-cut bikini bottoms to show off your stems or a monokini with cute cut outs. If you have a round belly, black and white one piece or graphic high waist bikini bottoms with bandeau top are ways you can go. Keep trying the suits out until you like what you see!

Naija Culture Forever Live On

No matter where Nigerians are, our culture follows. Why?, because we have elders who make it there business to educate and inform the younger ones. Education is done through the food made at home, to teaching the native language, and attire that the parents make.

We want to show our appreciation for everything you have ever done for us!

2. Allow them to chill
Take your special person to the a spa. YES, men do go to the spa. Enjoy a day in the sauna, get a pedicure, massage, or better yet, do it at home for them. It will save you a couple of cash.

3. Let him show you they still got game
Get your special person on the court after enjoying the hearty breakfast for a game of hoops. If they prefer football, then get the whole family involved for a game of flag football or baseball or soccer if that’s the sport of choice in your family.

4. Give him all the blings he wants
Has he been eyeing that Burberry or Michael Kors or Movado Large Bold watch at Nordstrom? Dad deserves to be splurged on too!

5. Make it a Splash!
The warm weather calls for a cook out or BBQ. Invite over families and friends to celebrate Father’s Day with your special one. If there is a pool, dive in! Allow dad to lay in the hammock and let someone else handle the grill.. but only if dad gives the okay.

Remember, expensive gift doesn’t always hold a special place in the heart as gifts that are simple and heart felt!
