Amanda Oruh is an actress, presenter and voice over artiste. The creative lady who studied Microbiology but veered into the entertainment sector is happy touching lives. In this encounter with Chinyere Okoroafor, she takes you into her world, sharing her beauty secrets land personal style.
FIRST, you want to know the secret of looking good and she responds this way.” I like doing things that makes me feel good about myself. I also love myself more, giving love freely and that has worked for me”.
Happily, she goes on to talk about some of the other things she does that makes her tick. “I make sure that I get eight hours of sleep daily and that relaxes the mind and body. In addition, I make sure that I eat well, I eat things that are natural and this makes me healthy.”
That is not all! “It is important to be fit and I do this with adequate exercise routine. I also drink lots of water which is very good for my system. I am always conscious of the need to look neat and fresh and for this I make use of nice deodorants and perfumes. I also take proper bath twice daily; pay great attention to self-care and good attitude in everything that I do”.
Next, she goes on to talk about managing and pampering her skin as a routine. “First, I apply my body moisturizers with care and love. This way my skin feels loved and I do this passionately.”
She continued: “I’m an oil addict, I don’t go a day without applying oil, it’s therapeutic for my skin. I speak to my body as often as I can, it feels loved, and that way it glows and gives me joy”.
Talk about eating right and she tells you about the kinds of food that she eats and the things that you would never find in her diet. “What you eat reflects on the outside and on your health. You will therefore never catch me eating food that is fattening or has too much carbs”.
Asked about the things that she won’t you do in the name of fashion, she replies:” I don’t just follow trend. Instead, I wear what I am comfortable in. Comfort is key and very important, when it comes to my personal style”.
Next, the discussion moves to identify her favourite products and make-up artiste and again you are in for a surprise.” At the moment I don’t have a favourite product; I use what I feel comfortable with. Something that I connect with and feel good about. Well, I do my makeup myself most times. So, I don’t have a favourite Make-up artiste. But I really do look forward to getting my face beat by Bimpe Onakoya”.
Her favourite hairdo? “I love cornrows; it is so easy and gives you that blissful look that is interesting. I also do my best to work out at least thrice weekly, at the gym or at home”.
