I blinked, and now we’re talking about the 8th to 10th of August? Time is doing whatever it wants.
Also, this weather? Raining every day smh. I know it’s rainy season, but the weather has been so... I look fine on the outside, but deep down, I just want to be on the beach, baking in the sun, ideally half-naked with a drink in hand.
I took a little party break to rest and reset. Did you miss me? This weekend is my official back outside moment, and these are the events I’m thinking of checking out. If you’re stepping out too, maybe I’ll see you there 👀
| 1. Wind Away Treat
📍 Tarkwa Bay
⏰ 10:00 am

| 3. Gbedu Central
📍 Emcel Garden, Orchid, Lekki ⏰ 2:00 pm

A day party! Outside but not too deep outside. Come early, dance while the sun’s still up, grab grilled meat and cold drinks, then decide if you’re heading home or doing afters. |
| 4. After Dark
📍 234Lofts Beach Resort, Oba Elegushi Beach Rd, Lekki Phase 1

📍 The Vault Social House, 9A Oko Awo Street, VI
⏰ 5:00 pm

📍 Nature’s Nook, Akinyemi Avenue, Lekki
⏰ 9:00 am

A full-body reset with movement, breathwork, and intention. Come for the stretches and maybe network with the kind of people who actually sleep 8 hours a night. Don’t think too hard, your body needs this. |

Not In Lagos? Check These Out
| 1. District 69: Sector III
📍 The Glass House – Vibes by Ann, 23 Atabara Street, Wuse 2 (Abuja)
⏰ 9:00 pm
🎟️ ₦10,900
They say you shouldn’t throw stones when you live in a glass house. In this house, people will be throwing and catching whines instead. This party promises energy, performance, and people who have come to be seen. |
| 2. Kilishi Festival
📍 Tobix Recreational Park & Garden, Abuja
⏰ 12:00 PM
🎟️ ₦3,000
If you’re in Abuja and love kilishi, this is basically your Super Bowl. It’s giving pepper, meat, and open-air chilling. No stress, just food and good vibes with people who came hungry. |
If you’re dipping your toe back into the mix like me, pick what fits your mood (and budget). No pressure to do it all, sometimes one good plan is enough.
