Protective Hairstyles for Winter

Hello! Feels good to be back here. It's very important to find a good protective hairstyle during winter. During this time hair needs to be protected from the harsh winter  conditions. Therefore it is important to settle for a hairstyle that completely covers the hair and keeps it warm. However, its also important to stay true to one's individual style, even during winter. Get a hairstyle that matches your style and personality. Something that makes you feel comfortable. Personally I normally go for box braids. I love them, they are versatile, really cool and hustle free. When I say hustle free I mean that when I am getting ready to go out I do not have to spend hours upon hours trying to style them. Styling box braids is really easy for me. But I have also been wanting to try the trendy faux locs. I have seen several people rocking them and l think they look amazing! I  also think they are also really cool and can effectively keep hair protected during winter. You can also try cornrows, twist  or even a weave. Like I said, it is also all about personal preference. At the end of the day you need to look good and feel confident at the same time. If you have any other suggestions please feel free to add in the comments section. XO

Hey there! I hope I find you well. My last posts have been about Skin Care, especially cleansing, toning and moisturizing. We all know that skin care is very important because looking good starts with beautiful skin. With beautiful skin you will feel more confident with or without makeup. My  bff Gamu Belle has shared her skin care regimen with us (yay!). I found it very informative, helpful and creative. I hope it will also be of great help to you. Here is what she shared, enjoy! 1st Step: Scrubbed with Garnier Skin Active-Pure Active 3 in 1 2nd Step: Exfoliated gently with Beauty Formula’s Australian Tea tree wash. This product is not drying, even for oily skin. 3rd Step:  Applied SHILLS Natural Science Black Mask, using fingers and making sure to leave out the little eyebrows I have. Waited 20 mins for it to dry and then peeled it off. Didn’t see blackheads on this but my face looked clean with all access oil sucked out. With this product my skin ...

Celltone Gel, Johnson's Cleansing Bar & Johnson's Day Cream I always say that skin care is very important. Looking good starts with beautiful perfect flawless skin. Sounds impossible, right? I am here to tell you that it is not impossible to get beautiful flawless skin. With the right products and proper care it is very possible to achieve.

My Dudu Osun Black Soap Hey there! I hope that I find you all well. I have decided to write something on skincare, specifically dealing with blackheads, breakouts, scars, acne and clearing dark marks. I know there are so many ways of dealing with these skin problems; however, I am going to write about the Dudu Osun Black Soap. I know the name sounds scary and intimidating, but it is just a natural soap made from Pure honey, Shea butter, Osun (Camwood), Palm kernel oil, Cocoa pod ash, palm bunch ash, Aloe Vera, Lime juice, Water and Fragrance. I have been using it for a while now, and what I can say is it’s absolutely amazing. I would recommend it for anyone with problem skin and looking for something affordable and very effective. It is also readily available in most beauty shops and also online. As a matter of fact I have recommended it to a lot of my close friends and relatives, the results were phenomenal every time. I personally used to have dark marks and scars, ...

Rose Water Toner: Yay or Nay?

By

HELLO! My last post was about skin care, and I made reference to Rose water and how I use it as a toner after cleansing my face. As a toner I think it gets the job done, however, there are some things that I do not particularly like about using Rose water in general.   Before I started using it I read several reviews about how Rose water should be a beauty essential for everyone, about how it’s magic in a bottle etc. In a way it is magic in a bottle and a beauty essential mainly because it can be used on both the skin and hair. It definitely refreshes the skin, it also tightens pores, balances skin PH, and skin feels softer and smooth. In a nutshell, you do notice a difference, mostly good. However, I feel it can be a bit hash on the skin and I didn’t like the smell. I felt like it burnt my skin  and gave me a bit of a rash. My skin also felt a bit itchy when I first used it. I seriously thought that’s how it works, but when a rash appeared a few days later I w...

How To Make Makeup Last Longer

By

My last few posts have basically been all about makeup application, actually basic makeup application. I did highlight that there is a lot to learn about makeup, and I will try to explain as much as possible as we go. Well, today I am going to talk about making makeup last longer. Making makeup last longer is basically about oil control. This is very important particularly for people with very oily skin. When you apply your makeup, you want it to stay in place, but however, that is not what always happens. Sometimes makeup will literally slide off the face or take another form that is different from the initial one. This may sound like a joke, but believe me it’s actually far from funny. So you might be asking, what is the best way of making it last longer on your face? Or how to make your makeup stay fresh without necessarily having to add more product? Well, there are several ways of making that happen, and I am going to be sharing them with you here. The first thing to do i...

Back Again!

HELLO! I hope that I find you well. I truly mean this because I have been away for a very very long time. Truly speaking, I have been soo busy with a lot of things and life literally got in the way. Therefore I did not make enough time for this blog that I started because of my passion for writing and just helping people in general. Well, now I guess I can safely say that I am back, ha ha for good this time around. I intend to give it my all this time around. I am still going to be writing about makeup and fashion, but at the same time I will also be writing about lifestyle. Well, in all aspects that is a very broad subject, but I thought I could also include other life issues on top of the fashion and the makeup. Am I making any sense? ha ha I surely hope so, but if not let me just say I sincerely hope that you will  love and certainly enjoy it. Initially I did want to focus on just fashion and makeup, but I have evolved and grown a lot since the last time I was here, I t...

How To Always Look Good

By

Accessories can make or break an outfit Wow! This is a very exciting topic for me. And I also think that it's very broad, and in a way very controversial. What does it mean to look good? Is it something that is important or not? What does it take for one to look good? And why do you need to look good? Or for whom? I think these are some of the questions that you are asking as you are reading this. Well, I think you need to look good for yourself firstly, and yes for other people too. The reason why I say you need to look good for yourself firstly is because it's difficult to please people. The reason being that we all have different taste in fashion and preferences when it comes to hair, clothes, etc. Basically, one man's meat is another man's poison (sounds like a cliche, right? ). But I have noticed this to be very true. What I like is not going to be neccessarily liked by the next person. Not because it doesn't look good, but because it might not su...
