Interview with JOSSY INWANG Award Wining Society Woman Skin Care Therapist Fashionista
Tell us about your parent and what you miss about home. Jossy: (Muted for few seconds) Unfortunately, I lost my both parent at my teenage age and miss them every day of my life. You were honoured last year by Wedding plus Nigeria with an Award as an “Outstanding Society Woman of the Year 2018” What was it like receiving such a prestigious Award? Jossy: It was my pleasure and surprises to be honoured by Weddingplus Nigeria with such a prestigious award as an “Outstanding Society Woman of the year 2018”. It is encouraging to see people loving what you do and appreciate it. I have had many private compliments, from people appreciating my régimes, e.g. my magnetism, fashion sagacity and the rest of it. Meanwhile, within me I know am just myself. I have scenarios of people walking up to me saying “you motivate me, your dressing” that was when I discovered that I have to be careful and watch my back because people are looking up to me.
Jossy Inwang is an Award-Winning Society Woman, a Skincare Therapist, Fashionista, a Nigerian based in Australia, in this interview with Isaac Mefo of Weddingplus Nigeria, She reveals what it is like to live and do business in abroad. Tell us about your background. Jossy: My name is Josephine Samuel Inwang, but I go by my screen name (Jossy Inwang). Am a native of Iwukem in Etim Ekpo LGA I graduated from the University of Calabar. I have worked in many financial institutions in Nigeria, my last Appointment was with First bank PLC Calabar before I relocated to Australia. I'm married to Dr Samuel Inwang from Eket LGA. We have been married for over 13yrs now and still counting.
Not too long ago, you ventured into the Skincare Business, what inspires you to join the industry? Jossy: I have many friends who struggle with their skin problems especially the face, as we all know women pay so much attention to their faces. There are so many people not only women who struggle with facial appearance specifically. So, when I was contacted by one of the veteran Actor Stephanie Okere Linus who is based in
As a Nigerian living abroad, how is life in Australia compared to Nigeria? Jossy: Life outside the country is incredible, I am quite sure that anyone who has travelled outside Nigeria will know that Nigerians are suffering and Nigeria as a country have a long way to go. www.weddingplus.com.ng / 2019 / 4th Edition

travel outside the country should not waste it, Because I know Nigeria is not getting better currently. How do you relax after work and family stress?

Jossy: R+F is a skincare product for all skin types, its created by Dermatologists who created Pro-active skincare, they are tested and trusted, it has various kind of skincare solution, but unfortunately these products are only available in Australia, USA and Canada for now. Are you planning on having a distribution outlet in Nigeria and how soon? Jossy: Yes! Since I launched these products on my social platforms, there have been so many people from Nigeria indicating interest. But it's sad that these products are only available online and not yet in Nigeria. So, in the future we are planning to have an outlet in Nigeria probably Abuja and Lagos to start with ASAP. Where do you see your business in the next few years? Jossy: I have my objectives and goal for my business, and one of them is to be able to run my business freely in both Nigeria and of course in Australia. How do you manage running your family, business, school and still maintaining your social life? Jossy: It's hard to manage family, business, school and still have your social life maintain. What I do is to priorities things, by trying to equalize all aspect of my life with no department suffering. My family should not suffer because of my social life, and my education should not suffer because I have a family. So every time, I put these into consideration to regulate what I'm doing. What advice do you have for Nigerians planning to travel abroad to stay and do business? Jossy: Nigerians who have the opportunity to www.weddingplus.com.ng / 2019 / 4th Edition

10 Reasons To Hire A Classic Car For Your Wedding
If you want to make a grand entrance on your wedding day- why not consider a classic car? There's no doubt that a wedding day is a huge milestone in anyone's life and after months (or years!) of meticulous planning for the 'I do' moment, you won't be satisfied with anything less than perfection.
Making an entrance – It's no secret that every bride wants to make the grandest of all entrances. Really make yours special by turning heads in a car that's as stunning as you feel. Make his day – If you wanted to get him a little something to apologise for the bridezilla tendencies he witnessed on a few occasions, surprise him with the ultimate gift for the day: his favourite car. Simple transportation – Not stating the obvious, but you will have to get from A to B at some point, so why not turn up or depart in an absolute head turner. Saves some serious pennies – We all know that as soon as you say 'wedding', prices skyrocket. Avoid hiring a classic car with an extortionate price tag and save some pennies by using Turo, the online car sharing service that has fleets of classic cars at the click of a button, available for your special day. With the help of Turo's handy car rental service, you'll be able to choose from a fantastic range of cars from the app. Turo has partnered with a number of car hire entrepreneurs whose fleets boast everything from British icons such as Mini Coopers, Jaguars, Land Rover Defenders and Rolls Royces to head turners like the FIAT Abarth 695 Maserati and electric Tesla Model S.
Whilst the statement dress, stunning venue and out-of-this-world menu might be top of your list, why not make the experience that little bit more special by making sure you and your betrothed travel in style – with a vintage car. Here are 10 reasons why every wedding needs a classic car… Make the most of your day – This is your day and it will probably whizz by faster than you can say 'free bar' – enjoy your cherished alone time whilst riding in the car of your dreams. Impress those guests – Let's face it, people love classic cars. And nothing is more Instagram friendly than a beautifully crafted Rolls Royce. Bucket list tick – If riding in a Bentley has always been on your 'top things to do before I'm 30' list, then this is the perfect way to get something ticked off. Who needs jewellery? – Thinking that your outfit is missing a little something? Forget the fancy jewellery (apart from the ring!); a quintessentially British car is the ultimate wedding accessory. Vintage touch – If you're an old school romantic at heart, then nothing will feel more timeless than making a grand entrance in a vintage car, adding a nostalgic touch to your perfect day. Great for snaps – You will of course be the main focus, but placing those awkward family members in front of a sleek little number will create some gorgeous pics you can cherish forever. www.weddingplus.com.ng / 2019 / 4th Edition

Ada and Chuka
WeddingPlus Nigeria
Found Love
At Their Friend's Birthday Party!
If you are the type that doesn't like attending parties or hangouts, after going through our latest love story you will be moved to give it a try. Chuka and Ada first met at a friend's birthday. Both couldn't take their eyes off each other at the party and they decided to start a conversation. Little did Ada know that Chuka had worked with her dad as his business partner and that makes the story even more interesting. 4 years down the line, Chuka decided to confess his love and made her the woman of his life. Their pre-wedding pictures reflect the love they have for each other and you need no one tell you that there is chemistry going on between them. Let's get into their love story as the bride-to-be, Ada shares with us. Here's how the bride-to-be, Ada recalls their love story: It was October 2012 when Chuka and I met at a mutual friend's birthday party. I was just starting medical school and Chuka was an engineering student who rarely attends parties. We were really shy of staying together during the whole event. I actually attended the party as a third wheel, accompanying a friend and her husband. I saw Chuka across the room and gave him a slight smile. Prompted by her friend, Chuka was awkwardly signaled to come over. Chuka and I started to converse and our love blossomed from there.
Midway through dinner, Chuka began to profess his love to me and slowly made his way down to one knee. I immediately began to cry tears of joy. As Chuka opened the ring box, he says with a smile “Does the ring look familiar?” Side note: I actually tried on my actual engagement ring prior to the proposal! Chuka suggested that we should go to the mall and when we passed the jewelry store, I pushed to go in, just as Chuka expected. The jewelry saleswomen had been expecting us and she asked me what style of ring I liked. Once I explained my preferences, the saleswomen immediately brought out the ring. Unbeknownst to me, Chuka had already purchased the ring. My eyes immediately lit up and I said to Chuka… “This is it, Babe.
Little did the we know that we would be connected at the hip from that point on. From long conversations during car rides to traveling all around the world together, we grew an unexplainable and unbreakable bond. Chuka showed me the love that I had never experienced in my life. One evening Chuka and I were on a regular face time conversation, when Chuka noticed my father, Adolphus, in the background. He was astonished and explained that he had met my dad once before.
Get me something just like this.” After Chuka professed his love, I immediately said yes, and the restaurant exploded with an applause from the other restaurant-goers. To top everything off, an anonymous couple sent over a bottle of champagne for a toast. Chuka and I plan to marry on October 5, 2019, marking seven years together. And with God at the center of our union, there is no doubt that there are many wonderful years to come.
Fast forward to April of 2017, Chuka knew it was time to take the next step in his commitment to loving me. He planned a romantic dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, The Highlawn Pavilion in West Orange, New Jersey. The restaurant was particularly special because it was where we went every Valentine's Day for a dinner date. We would enjoy the lovely food and then sit outside and admire the panoramic view of the New York City skyline. But Chuka brought me to the restaurant for a seemingly impromptu date. www.weddingplus.com.ng / 2019 / 4th Edition

Marchant further opines that couples could also use the honeymoon excuse tick some items off their bucket list (of course, with the express permission and approval of their spouses). Over the years, cities and towns have battled to outdo each other in the quest to provide what many would describe as a perfect love nest for couples to spend their honeymoon period, with cities like Greece, Columbia, Puglia, Italy topping the lists of major pundits and enthusiasts. However, with increasing security and safety concerns especially with the spate of terrorism in the world today, the searchlights have been involuntarily focused on less likely but equally exotic, serene and less risky locations.

By Courage Mbon. The Wikipedia defines the term “honeymoon” as a holiday taken by newlyweds to celebrate their marriage. The custom of newlywed couples going on a holiday together originated in early19th-century England. Upper-class couples at that time would take a "bridal tour", sometimes accompanied by friends or family, to visit relatives who had not been able to attend the ceremonies that marked the wedding. The practice soon spread to the European continent and was known in France as a voyage à la façon anglaise (translation: Englishstyle voyage), from the 1820s onwards. The modern day honeymoon usually entails a trip by just the couples to an exotic holiday location of choice. The duration of the honeymoon ranges from one week to a month depending on couple preferences. This practice is said to help the couple build intimacy while bonding and consummating their love for each other. According to Tom Marchant, Cofounder of luxury travel company and trip planner, Black Tomato, the honeymoon trip can also serve as an www.weddingplus.com.ng / 2019 / 4th Edition
