Growing up.
I am from a large family, the seventh of eight children, so I have a lot of older ones. I was born in Ondo State which is where I am from. My late father, Pa Theophilus Olasanmi Oshin was an educationist and a disciplinarian and my mother, Ibijoke Oshin was very industrious. Growing up was fun! Really, it was. It was always a full house and loads of activities at every point in time.
Foray into acting
Well, naturally, I have flair for the arts, so, acting came naturally to me. I sing too. I started acting while I was in the university and on obtaining my degree in Philosophy from Unilag, I decided to go into it as a profession. I see acting as an opportunity for me to express myself and play different characters and pass a message to people.
Description of self.
I will describe myself as a devoted wife and mother, someone who is passionate about her family as well as her work. A woman who loves God. Also, I am a faithful friend and a lover of all beautiful things.
Definition of style.
As I always say, style surpasses trend. I believe style is a personal expression. It is something that is unique and is just you.
Beauty regimen.
Oh well! I always advise on four simple steps. They are: cleanse; exfoliate; tone and moisturise. It is that simple.
Choice of accessories.
Well, that would really depend on the outfit am wearing and the look I want to achieve but generally, I prefer bold accessories that can make a statement and make my outfit come alive because really, it is the accessories that make the outfit. It is not just about wearing a black strapless dress but complementing it with the right jewellery, belt, purse and shoes. It has to make the outfit pop up and come alive.
Accessory I cannot do without.
That would be a pair of sunglasses.
Secret of beauty.
That would definitely be my creator, God , for creating me the way I am. Ialso take proper care of myself and my body, what I eat and all other things I do to maintain the way I'm naturally made.
Diet or exercise.
I won't say I have a strict diet. Basically, I just watch what I eat. Some items may be tempting but I know when to stop. I must confess that there are times when I throw caution to the winds and indulge but then, I know I will have to work it all off. I do exercise too because I try as much as possible to stay fit.
Special treat.
I have everything, from facials, full body massage, manicure and pedicureto steam bath. I just take a day off. No phone calls and I just enjoy being take care of. I try to do it as often as possible. Asides from my special days off, I relax at home just chilling with my family, reading novels, watching movies and cooking. Did I say I love to cook? Yeah! I love cooking but I don't like washing dirty dishes. of.:cleanse; exfoliate; tone and moisturise. It is that simple.
