1. Instead of Googling currency conversions every time, open your iPhone Calculator and tap "Convert." You can convert currencies instantly.
2. Instead of Googling room ideas, use Pinterest.
3. Instead of keeping your alarm beside your bed, place it across the room. You'll be forced to get up.
4. Instead of editing every photo from scratch, start with a Lightroom preset. It automatically adjusts the colors, lighting, and contrast in one tap.
5. Instead of buying expensive perfume, apply your fragrance to moisturized skin. It'll last much longer.
6. Instead of buying expensive clothes, buy clothes that actually fit.
7. Instead of fighting sleep while studying, brighten your room. Darkness tells your brain it's time to sleep.
8. Instead of typing "PDF" in your Google search, add filetype:pdf at the end. Google will prioritize PDF files. E.g. Marketing plan filetype:pdf.
9. Instead of charging your phone to 100% every time, unplug it around 80% when you can. It can help preserve your battery's long-term health.
10. Instead of opening Google Maps every time, download offline maps before you travel.

I believe places have souls, I don’t know how to explain but there’s something parts of Surulere, Magodo and Ikeja gives that you can never get in places like Lekki
Most people judge clothes on Temu by the photos.
Big mistake.
The fastest way to avoid buying clothes that feel like cheap plastic is to ignore the pictures and read the Fabric Composition.
Here's a simple cheat sheet:
Avoid (unless blended well)
• 100% Polyester
• 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex
• Cheap synthetic blends
Run away.
These are usually thin, shiny, trap heat, build static, and often feel like swimwear instead of actual clothing.
Look for
• Modal (extremely soft)
• Combed Cotton
• Ring-Spun Cotton
• 100% Cotton
• Viscose/Rayon (soft and smooth)
If you're shopping for specific items:
Jeans:
Search "100% Cotton Denim", "Heavyweight Denim", or "Rigid Denim".
Dress shirts:
Search "Oxford Cotton", "Cotton Poplin", or "100% Cotton Dress Shirt".
Jackets:
Search "Heavyweight", "Fleece Lined", or "Wool Blend".
Vintage clothes:
Look for Corduroy, Heavy Knit, or Washed Cotton.
One last trick that saves me money every time:
Never trust the product photos.
Go straight to the reviews, filter by "With Photos", and look at pictures uploaded by real buyers. That's where you'll see what the fabric actually looks and feels like.
Also look out for promos, you can get stuff for cheap and free packages for a cheap price.
Hope this helps once you understand your size, body, texture or material you're good.
Yes! That’s my wife and daughter getting ready for the 6 a.m. Mass. I had just finished getting dressing and was sitting on the bed, waiting for them, when I captured the moment.
I have a couple of sketches of them getting ready in front of the mirror, but this particular one deserved to be painted.
