Hello there darlings,
Back again with Lagos Goodtimes Freshly Squeezed, the newsletter that is still written by an actual human! How novel 😉.
The exciting news this week – as far as we are concerned – was that we launched our first-ever digital Lagos Guide💥. It gathers all the tips we’ve been quietly curating into one beautifully designed, mobile-friendly download with clickable map links🏖️✨🍴🍹.

And another bit of joy: we unintentionally lead an outpouring of love for Lagos with this post 🥰.

Just so you know: we make zero money from writing this newsletter every week. We do it because we genuinely want people to have a good time, and to support the local community💗.
If you’ve been reading for a while, maybe you’d like to say thank you by buying us a drink🍷 (aka getting a copy of the guide). You’ll be glad you did every time you have friends or family come to visit.
I will see your name when you purchase one and will personally send good karma your way ✨.

Now onto this weeks good news!…

And remember:
No one ever looked back on their life and regretted having too much fun.
