Beauty

More quotes by Nse Ikpe-Etim

Follow your energy and do what you love all the time; the distinction between work and play dissolves.

Drink water, do your squats, wear your wellies, eat your vegetables, wear your lipstick, and don’t let boys be mean to you.

Good friends always nudge you in the right direction.

Life is short. Make every side-eye count.

There is danger in letting people misname you. If you’re a fire, do not answer when they call you a spark.

Whose veil is unremoved
Till heart with heart in concord beats,
And the lover is beloved.

The eyes of men without an orator.
