‘Beewa Beauty’ Also Retails Shapewear. Would You Say That Waist Training Is Safe For Women And Should Every Woman Own One?
Contrary to popular belief, waist training when done well and worn within certain hours of the day is infact safe. I do not encourage women to wear them to sleep and whether every woman should own one is entirely up to each individual.
While waist training can give you an hour glass figure, I wouldn’t say every woman should own one. Because it’s not every woman that wants a curvy figure. We are beautiful just the way we are. However if you want a snatched waist, you definitely should own one.

Tell Me About Your Talk Show, ‘The Adesewa Show’. What Inspired You To Create One?
I created my talk show ‘The Adesewa Show’ because I wanted to air my thoughts and opinions on certain topics to the public. It’s as simple as that. But honestly, right now it’s one of those things I’m on the fence about. I’m not really focused on being a TV personality right now, but we will see how it goes. You never know.

What Is Your Favourite Self-Care Practice And How Do You Unwind After A Long Day?
My favorite self-care practice is turning my phone off and spending the day at the beach or spa. My phone has to be switched off because it helps me be present in the moment. And having time to myself off social media is pure bliss. Truly, how I unwind after a long day is by sleeping and giving my body the rest it needs.
