Igo Glass is a sister company of Kaldi Africa focused on making glass products from recycled glass. They’re located inside Nigerian Foundries in Illupeju. Visitors can tour the glass blowing factory and also make something for themselves. Current price for the Glass Blowing tour is ₦10,000.

There’s a souvenir shop where products from Igo Glass are sold. Because all the glass products are handcrafted, no two items are exactly the same. You can find everything from chandeliers, cookie jars, bread bins, flower vases, plates, cups, mugs and even tables made of recycled glass in the shop.

Recycling is such an important job, good for the environment and helps reduce landfill waste. I bought a glass cup with handles shaped like an elephant in the shop. I will definitely return to buy more items.

Book Review: The Beggar King and the Secret of Hap Book Review: The Beggar King and the Secret of Happiness by Joel Ben IzzyI’d give this book 10 stars if I could. I honestly can’t remember where I first heard about this book but l’m glad I had it in my library for a time like this when I have to look at the past year 2024 gone, with all its attendant challenges and look towards a new year.This book is a deeply moving and beautifully woven tale that blends memoir with profound life lessons. It follows Ben Izzy, a professional storyteller, who suddenly loses his voice after a surgical mishap.Faced with despair and an identity crisis, Ben Izzy embarks on a journey of self-discovery, guided by wisdom from age-old tales and his enigmatic mentor, Lenny.The book challenges readers to rethink their definitions of success and happiness, emphasizing that sometimes, losing what we hold dear can lead to a greater understanding of what truly matters.Thank you Joel Ben Izzy for sharing your gift of storytelling with the world.#bookreview #bookstagram #thebeggarking #joelbenizzy #nwaanyiije #booklover #book #bookrecommendations #books #goodreads

Beauty in the Motherland Exhibition gave exactly w Beauty in the Motherland Exhibition gave exactly what it was supposed to give. This was beyond aesthetics, every vendor was so passionate about their products and about their business. It was so much fun going to discover not just global brands, but also Nigerian indigenous brands. My favorite picks were products from @infused.organics @rengbeautycosmetics and @shoilskin. I also bought the new petal muse glow oil from @aramiessentials. I will definitely be attending again next year and can’t wait to discover more wonderful products.#beautyinthemotherland #beautyinthemotherland2025
I stumbled upon this hidden gem @cafeboutiquelagos I stumbled upon this hidden gem @cafeboutiquelagos right in the heart of Victoria Island — and trust me, you’ll want to bookmark this spot for your next coffee run or brunch date.The moment I stepped in, I fell head over heels for the Old English, cozy vibe — it’s that perfect blend of stately elegance and homey comfort. The staff? So warm and genuinely attentive.I ordered a caramel café latte — hands down the best latte I’ve had in Lagos. I even had to ask the barista about the coffee beans they used! Plus, the cup was the cutest thing ever, and the generous caramel drizzle was just the cherry on top. I also tried their Croissant Royal Benedict — absolutely delicious, 10/10!One of my favorite touches? Shelves lined with books you can flip through while you sip or eat — the decor truly makes you feel like you’ve escaped to an English manor.So whether you’re after a quiet nook to work, a cozy catch-up spot with friends, or simply a little treat-yourself moment, this café ticks all the boxes. It’s officially on my list of top VI spots.If you’re in the neighborhood, pop in, snag a window seat, and thank me later!#nwaanyiije #cafesinvi #cafesinvictoriaisland #coffeelover #foodpost #café #cafeboutique #boutiquecafe #coffeepost #croissantbenedict
