BIRTHDAY DINNER & ART AT FOUR POINTS

Good evening guys. I hope you've all had a great start to your week. Last week Sunday, I was at a private dinner celebrating my friend's younger sister's 21st Birthday and It was such a lovely and intimate celebration.

 She hosted her dinner party at Four Points Hotel in Victoria Island Lagos. The hotel is a part of the Sheraton hotels chain and like any respectable luxury hotel, it boasts some fairly tasteful and impressive art work and of course a decent menu, which is kind what we were there for.

While the food was alright, I was mostly taken by the art pieces hanging on the wall, the carvings and all the other little decor pieces that pulled the whole room together and enhanced the ambiance. I'm starting to notice a trend in luxury hotels in Nigeria of using art work as the primary focus of interior design concepts and I absolutely love it.

HOTEL BON VOYAGE

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you've all been having a restful weekend.

I had been researching the perfect places to just kick back and relax, away from the craziness and hustle and bustle of Lagos and I believe I just found what is currently no 1 on that list (still many more spots to try out).

Hotel Bon Voyage has to be one of the most laidback places i've been to in Lagos, it's smack right in the city but the atmosphere makes you feel as though you've stepped out of the city and into a hotel in a nearby private location. Picture lovely organic cabanas, a very cool gazebo bar, not too shabby selection of finger food, a glass of wine and an amazing view of the Ocean.

 It was such a breath of fresh air and my friends and I promised not to tell anyone outside our circle of friends and our nuclear family about the place just to preserve the serenity of it all.

 Yet, here I am, the traitor! breaking protocol all for you (#Thelifeofablogger). I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend.

THE LAGOON WITH FRIENDS

Good Morning guys. Ringing in one of the first few days of the New Year with friends was such a lovely way to kick off this year. My friends and their friends, some of whom overtime have become friends of mine and their friends (Lool! stay with me),  decided to catch up in the New Year over an early dinner at the Lagoon Restaurant with a view of, of course the Lagoon.

 It was a lovely day and we had such a great time! I got to meet a number of lovely new people and  of course, catch up with a lot of my Oldies, some of whom you've seen more than a couple times on the blog over the years. 

 I had what was undoubtedly, the largest and most awkward shaped steak i've ever had with mushroom sauce and it was pretty amazing. Pretty much everyone at the table had a chalice (not glass) of Chapman which is everyone's go to Nigerian cocktail. It really is just like a thing!

 I hope you've all been having a great week so far! until next time.

Yours truly....xxx
