Any way if your a good reader of this blog you know collin can't  keep a secret  😂. I just can't  and here i am with one my brother told me to keep until october. Are you a fun of good food , amazing  plant based dishes, then i got you covered  ( well actually kelly got you ). Earlier this quarantine he launched  his food blog and we take this time to thank all of his amazing viewers and readers . So as a big reward he is putting together  a cooking e book ( shhhh don't tell any one its supposed  to be a secret ) it will have recipes from all over Africa  ( yes each region ) and of course the nutritional value of each meal is at the bottom of each recipe  😊😊. So get ready if you love african food or would like to try it out here is the chance... ( i will be updating you with more gossip on the book 😂).

Hey guys its been a minute i missed you all so much many guys have reached out via my weekly instagram Q and A to inquire why i was not updating the blog for a second  and of course  i stayed silent but surprise. ...... ( assuming you have seen the new look the blog has taken on).
Well i have been working on improving my businesses ( i sound so grown up lol) ok i have been re evaluating myblog making a few changes, re organising my instagram to best suit my brand and ofcourse fulfilling your martson skinare  orders all of which i have enjoyed.  Ever since i took on blogging and content creating more as a job than just a hobby i have been longing for a time to just officially  change everything and corona ( which is a real thing btw) has given me thay time. I have re planned and re scheduled my posting days across my blog and instagtam , ofcourse its twice a week for the blog and 3 times for the gram plus once for my youtube . Thank you all for supporting a small teenage boy with big fashion and lifestyle dreams  i have alot coming in store for yall so get enough rest the next time you hear from me we shall be having some collabs.

Hey yall its been a minute 😙been a little busy doing ,promoting changing and planning my skincare line i mean life aint easy when your an 18 year old navigating your hormones ,working on your grades and dreams and now running a business. . ( i dont mean to eat my own ass but am pretty much good at it except the grades..tho...)

So since many people especially men are crunched  up about having pink lips how about i share with yall my ( yes my ) lip scrub recipe and how to treat your lips 💋
So without further a do lets jump right in....
First off are you following me on my instagram i swear if your not what are you even doing here like 😂😂😂 k enough slur...
1. Get lemon , honey , sugar , onions ,an old toothbrush and bowl

Place the honey in a bowl... add sugar and squeeze  a little lemon in to it,mix for a minute or two then let it settle..
 The sugar is going to help scrub the dead skin off your lips, the lemon is going to give them a little colour and the honey is working as the base and all 😂.
So use that old toothbrush and get alittle of our scrub and scrub your lips gently twice a day.....
(Someons is askin what about the onion....)
Well once in a while use an onion to rub your lips... i honestly  don't know bow this works but it works 😂.

Shopping for men can be hard but ..like honestly  but lucky for you am a professional shopper so i came up with a list of gifts you could gift your dad today or any day because i don't believe we celebrate the people we love once a year but always so lets get into the list
.

Hey collins here today i felt like i could do alittle of what i do best.... educate you on how to follow your dreams, give you a few tips , warn you aliitle here and there and ofcourse push you on your way to success.
First off i began this blog in 2018... i honestly didn't know blogs were booming back then i just made mine because  i was good at writing and i wanted to share my passion for style with everyone and brag to my instagram followers about my style.
Little did i know i was on a road to becoming  a content  creator, influencer and now youtuber . I have collaborated with over 15 brands and gained atleast some exposure, this year in jan i was invited to attend my first influencer event and i just fill like its just the beginning. Question is have i benefited, is it worth it, ........
 First off being an influencer is glamorous on the outside just like any other paying job but what people don't know it that you have to put in just as much work.. and if your not living in the us or uk you may need to work even harder...
I am from uganda ( just incase you didn't know ) a small country in east africa, land locked , pretty ,green and all  and this has somehow affected my collaboration deals. For some reason according to my stats a good percentage of my instagram followers are from usa, brazil, south africa then uganda. So when brands reach out to me they think am in usa but after figuring out that am not they tend to pull out quite fast. Now this can be devastating for anyone especially for some african boys and girls that would like to have a cake of the influencer lifestyle. But this does not mean they or we have to give up.. if you know you have a good instagram feed ( see this one  ) with an amazing bio ( see this one  ) you could pitch to brands in your country and start with those and grow later ( i made a video on how to pitch to brands here ).  So yes you to can be a youtuber, you can create a blog, you can earn online.. you can do it all just never give up, network with others, pitch pitch and pitch... follow your dreams...
Please read this  it may be of help... this two
