Smiles - Rocking My Braids !!!



I am missing my braids. I haven't really been braiding as often as I used to while in the US and in SA as my hairdresser (hair-braider) moved and it really takes me a long time to warm up to another persons hands to take care of my hair the way I want it to be taken care of. In all honesty I trust myself better and over the past 15years I have gotten better at managing my natural hair pretty well - I visit the hairdresser when I need a cut, weave or braids. Rest of the time it's all me styling away. This picture was taken a few years ago when I would braid my hair like clockwork. I never keep braids for longer than a month, I always get bored and end up changing up my look more often than not.

Picture By: I can't remember who took the picture but it was at Cedar Square Fourways in South Africa

Spring Fling...

Image
Hi All... So the pictures I posted earlier in the day are from yesterday. I figured I should try and have a little more spring in my step today and opted for this Cream and Grey dress from Mango. Let's just say I had a light button down cardigan from Mango on and I had to eventually do away with it for the rest of the day. Needless to say I braved my winter rolls altogether, wake up call to hit the gym on a regular. The wind did start to pick up again while we were out there , so please don't mind the flapping sleeves all over the place and hopefully my legs are not looking ashy seeing as they've been covered up for a while. My animal print pumps seemed the perfect fit for this dress. Pictures: Thanks to Busi.

PICTURE PERFECT....

We all want that picture perfect look, well here are some of the tricks I use to achieve just that. I hope all you dolls out there find useful tips that work for you... 1. BRONZER I am certainly one to use Bronzer and it is a great way to illuminate ones skin. It brings about this glow that is just so inviting and makes skin look flawless. It’s perfect for the summer, and is a great way to embrace your new sun kissed complexion. I use the MAC bronzer which is absolutely amazing on all skin types and is a mineralize skin finish that’ll take your glow to the next level. But be careful, Bronzers are usually highly pigmented, so too much of it can make you look too shiny rather golden if not applied in moderation. 2. BRUSHES The application of your make up is so important and it takes a while to get it down packed to be honest. I use brushes and sponges but I must say you usually get a better finish when you use the appropriate brush. I have been using the MAC Brush Collection which ...
