Anyone who knows me will tell you that Hadiza loves good perfumes. This deep love began back in 2015, when I joined a group of friends who believed that a lady can get anything she wants — as long as she smells good. I was in uni at the time, and it felt like a competition between us. That was when I started collecting perfumes, and since then, I’ve gathered a little over 70 bottles. Today, I’m sharing 5 “must-have” perfumes every lady should own.

Tea lovers are often split into two camps: tea bags or loose leaf. If you’re anything like me—and on Team Loose Leaf—you probably started your tea journey with bags before discovering the magic of loose-leaf blends. That was my story too.

I began with classics like Lipton, Top Tea, Twinings, and Ahmad Tea. Then came Batsam Tea around 2017, which I enjoyed for quite a while. But everything changed the moment I was introduced to loose-leaf tea. The taste, the aroma, the ritual—it was an instant upgrade. And hopefully, by the end of this post, I’ll have you fully converted to Team Loose Leaf too.
