HAIR: TREND ALERT

Hi people!

Happy new month!!! Hope it has been great so far. Mine has been well more or less stressful. I know I haven't posted anything in a while, it's cause I've been super busy with school besides exams are starting in less than a week and I haven't really had the time to post anything. The great part though is that I'll be going back home in less than a month. My first meal will probably be Amala omg how I miss that. Plus I never get to eat meat here in Ghana so I'll eat loads of that too ugh and snails and everything!!!  Lol it's funny how much I'm craving these things more than I do when I'm actually home..  Well, I wouldn't want to drag you guys into my fantasies so I'll just go the point. I dunno if you guys have noticed or if it's even a trend but I've seen more people on cornrows this year than I've ever seen. And I'm not talking about the famous 'Ghana weaving' but the normal cornrows Lol I feel like I'm blabbing right now but I'll post some pictures so you guys can actually see what I mean and I bet you've also seen it on a few people too.

This is by far my favourite because of the zig zag

    I love this too. I intended to do this last  

    year but I changed my mind for some 

    reason. Then just some few weeks 

    ago I decided to do it again, only not

    exactly this exact time but since I got 

    my side shave it appears it's not 

    growing. Now I believe my mum when

    she said my hair grows longer at the 

    back than in the front...

    Cute😻

Are Isabel Marant Shoes still Fashionable?

Hi Guys!!
It's a new month... I hope this month has been great for you. It has for me... and this my mum's month :D it's just sad I won't be home to eat all the food :(
Okay, a few months ago, precisely January, my brother got me a pair of black leather and sequin wedge sneakers. My first thought was are these still fashionable?  I don't follow trends, yet I didn't want to be seen wearing shoes that were not fashionable anymore..
     

I think it's really cool that you can dress casually with a little bit of heel added to it. So, yes if you ask me, I think isabel marant is amazing for those gorgeous sneakers she designed. They are both super comfy and fashionable. I'm certain it'll still be fashionable for a couple of more years. BTW, I want them to stay because... well, I love them.

If tthere's one person I know that is totally in love with them wedge sneakers (and sneakers generally) its our very own Eva!

So, yes if you still have your wedge sneakers at home and thinking of ditching them, I suggest you shouldn't because they aren't gone. They are here to stay *fingers crossed* forever. Ok I'm kidding but it wouldn't hurt to have them for a bit longer right?

Super Hair Rant

Hi Guys.

 A few months ago, precisely two months ago I had a hair cut. Everyone advice me against it, even my mum. She told me I could trim my edges and get my hair back to its natural state and a
lot but I was just frustrated. I had braided my hair and for the first time I took my braids out in a saloon by a very unpatient woman. She took out my braids and didn't spend enough time separating and detailing the curls or even combing through them or something. I just hated my hair, so I decided to get a side shave because I didn't want to get a TWA cause of my forehead (or fivehead).

my hair was like that, only shorter at the back.

The problem was I really wasn't prepared for having my natural hair everyday. There were no weaves to cover it up with like I used to. Basically,  I wasn't prepared to start taking care of my hair. so right now, my hair is puffy and my splint ends are so obvious and I'm back where I started:frustrated.
I've being looking at pictures on pinterest, and some natural hair blogs and I just love what I see. I've decided to get over my fear of bearing my forehead and covering it up with full and side bangs all the time. I'm going to get a big chop and I'm going to start taking good care of my hair. You know, the washing, moisturizing (which is very important), the oils and deep conditioning and all the other stuff. So, whether your hair is long or short, natural or relaxed, you should really start taking care of it. There are really cool nigerian blogs that you can follow. (I checked out thekindandi today. You can Google it cause I dunno the full website address or you can just type in natural hair blogs by nigerians on google.... that should help).
Once I get the hair cut, I'll definitely post a picture of it and the products that work for me.
Happy Sunday!

Nail Art

Hi.
I'm not really a nail art lover. I hardly ever paint my nails. Reason is they start to chip off after about a week or two and I get too lazy to redo them. And we all know how ugly Chipping nail polish looks like.
Yesterday I decided to try the newspaper nail art and they didn't come out as nice as I wanted them to. Anyway, I'll just tell you guys how I went about it so you can try it. By the way, I feel like so lazy today. My school has succeeded in frustrating me...I have two quizzes on the same day, only 30 minutes apart and I can't stop thinking how I'll write both... I know that has absolutely nothing to do with nail art but I just had to share my problems :(


First, paint your nails and let it dry. I suggest you use white or grey, something like that. When your nails are completely dry, dip your finger into alcohol then cut a strip of newspaper big enough to cover your nail and place(or press against) on your alcohol soaked nail. Slowly, pull off the paper and coat it(your nail) with a transparent nail polish to give it a polished look. You can tell someone to help you with your left hand.

Finished look

XOXO
