Photos from Sandra & Chukwumah’s Lovely Treat on Make Me Fabulous Show!

When a man and woman get married, one of the reasons they do so is to spend more time with each other, I mean the sort of time they did not have while dating.

But imagine this: a woman works in the day time and her husband works at night! When do they get to see each other?

This was Sandra’s heart touching dilemma which she explained on my blog when we called for entries:

My husband and I have different working hours, mine is 8am to 4pm, and his is 4pm to 5am. It’s affecting our relationship and I urge for an outing to rediscover each other again! We’ve been married for 5 years and there’s already a wide gap in our relationship. I always feel like quitting my job! Please help me.

Her situation needed an urgent intervention and we were absolutely ready for that. The Make Me Fabulous team gave Sandra and Chukwumah a much needed treat to help close that gap in their marriage.

Here are some photos from their lovely treat:

At first, they had no idea where we were going to lodge them for the day. But by the time the car started approaching the luxurious Oriental Hotel, Lagos, they became so excited!!!

After settling down in their suite, we took Sandra out for some shopping at the Mango Store, where she met up with Celebrity Stylist Yummie!

It's not always easy picking the best outfit, but with someone like Yummie, we knew she was in fabulous hands.

With her shopping done, Sandra made her way to Davnans Hair Salon where Celebrity Hair Stylist Nancy and her team gave her a glam hairdo.

Now it’s time for her makeup. For Sandra, we just had to have the best and that was celebrity stylist Bimpe Onakoya.

Wow, it’s been an interesting day glamming up Sandra and you’d agree with me that the Make Me Fabulous team has done an excellent job. This doesn’t look like the same woman who came in to the Oriental Hotel this morning. Did you see her face? Now, this is what I call a fabulous transformation!

Sandra was not expecting me. In fact, my crew had been telling her I wasn't gonna make it, so you can imagine her surprise when I walked in after dinner. She bolted out of her chair!
