Different shades of Snowflakes

Remzo Creations Soap mix gift pack.

I absolutely adore the snowflake soap mold, i think i went overboard using it. From the front, coconut milk salt soap ( creamy and lovely on the skin, made from 100 % coconut oil, 100% coconut milk, sea salt and fragrance ); milk and honey soap (soap for a luxurious bath); cocoa soap ( cocoa makes your skin shine) and the last is a carrot and papaya soap ( refreshes , exfoliates & restores your skin tone).

All for a wonderful bath experience and your skin will be happier too.... trust me, your skin will say thank you... ;)

The above was for a gift pack.

Mans best friend

Today marks 4 months you left this world.
Your space is still empty and we are reluctant to fill it.
We talk about you all the time; What you would have been up to and your cute, naughty ways; your look, your raised eye brows and even your smile.

We still dont understand why you left so soon. You were so young..... but you will always be missed.

Love you still China.......

Our Dear China, terrorizing guests with pleasure from 2013 -  Feb 2016

My June......

Hello all,
This is the last Friday in this month.....Half of the year is gone and we are going into the second half of the year. For some, its with excitement and anticipation, for others, its with apprehension and un-certainty.
For me, i know The Author & Perfecter of my Faith has got my back; so i keep looking to Him. He has never lost or failed, so i know i wont either.
WHY? cos I am a Kings Kid, an Eagle Believer.

This past month, ive been busy with making soaps and beaded jewelry....

The Beginning of Remzo's Journey

My journey started last year, 2015, with my desire to go from DIY to actually being trained by Professionals in the areas I've always had an interest. When i'm in between planning events, i usually have free time that i like to use creatively.

I started with taking my love for beautiful handmade jewelries to the next level by attending the foundation and then the advanced classes. I fall in love with beads, and precious stones again and again; especially with living in Nigeria, where the 'normal' is being pushed to the limits daily. Nigerians are so creative and will keep challenging every new design to its heights of exceptional beauty. 

I've always been particular about my beautiful dark chocolate skin; Some years back, i embraced the use of natural products which are found in abundance in my country Nigeria. Some of these products are Shea butter, Cocoa butter, Palm kernel oil, African black soap (called ose dudu in yoruba land where i'm from), moringa, turmeric, African camwood (called Osun in yoruba land) and so much more. On my own, i started mixing my body butters with various butters & oils, I also experimented with the African black soap.This made my skin and hair soft, easy to manage & free from chemicals and dangerous additives. (by the way, ABS -african black soap is great for washing the hair )

Being an ardent fan of the internet i discovered this lovely lady Nini who makes her own bar soaps, i was intrigued. I sent her an e mail about taking classes which she responded to; but, i put off attending for awhile cos i was so busy, and by the time i attended the class, i was hooked.... there was no going back to using store bought products for myself or my Princes. Here's the link to a post on her blog about my class with her

And there began my journey to the world of luxurious handmade soaps... Yes, they are luxurious cos it changed the tone and texture of my dark chocolatey skin.

I will be sharing my walk with God, my Events, and adventures in this blessed world, but mostly the soaping & beading part of it; the near disasters and the wonderful successes that have equally changed the life and Skin :)  of many men, women and children. This is only the beginning, watch out as Remzo unveils the beauty of handmade products.

Remzo Creations is all about handcrafting to make our lives more beautiful.

The Voice of God Through the Lil ones

Remzo & her Princes

Whenever its time for devotions with my Princes, my Sunshine, my almost 8 year old son sings this song when he leads the Praise- 


(Im not so sure of who sang this originally, but Tsaone Muhwati has a video on you tube that i like and its copied at the bottom of this post.


You are the pillar that holds my life,
You are the pillar that holds my life,
Master Jesus
You are the pillar that holds my life,
Master Jesus
You are the pillar that holds my life,


It always reminds me that God is truly the one sustaining me and keeping me. Without HIM backing me up and giving me strength to go on, i wouldn't be where i am today.

HE is The foundation that keeps me standing when the winds come, when the lightening strikes, when the thunders roar, when the earth beneath me quakes and shudders; I remain un-shaken and I still STAND.


I cant fully say my Sunshine understands the lyrics, but in singing it , I know God listens and obeys the words coming forth from his lips.


Is HE the Pillar holding you?
