NAIL POLISH AND NAIL HACKS EVERY GIRL SHOULD KNOW

June 17, 2019 69 Comments

Hello,

I know it’s been a while and I am sorry for disappearing like that but a well deserved break was needed and hopefully I can keep up, I have just been in a rut and wasn’t feeling like blogging at all. Anyway, I have a post for you today, when it comes to nails, I am one of those people who likes looking at well-manicured nails and try to copy designs, or look for particular nail polishes I see online and figure out whether or not they suit me and along the way, I used some hacks for my so called manicure sessions. These are nail polish and nail hacks every girl should know.

6 SKINCARE PRODUCTS I WANT TO TRY OUT THIS YEAR

April 9, 2019 39 Comments

Hiya,

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Spring is here and as much as I’d like to be happy and cheerful, it usually comes with some consequences for me. I am not saying hay fever and sneezing but mine is like double that where it not only attacks my eyes but from last year, my face has decided to get coin like swellings out of the blue either on the side of my face or dead centre on my forehead or the current one right on the side of my nose. The funny thing is it only comes during Spring, decides to stay all through Summer and then Autumn checks in and my face is clear again. The only thing that has been helping is pills on a daily basis, loads of concealer and the thought of these 6 skincare products I want to try out this year.

Anyway, I didn’t come today to say about my skin issues but it’s nice to say it so that if you meet me anywhere and see something bulging from my face just know it’s my Spring allergies. So today I have a post on skincare products I would love to try, I already wrote about products that didn’t work for me a while back do check them out here. There are so many but I just chose the ones I have been keeping my eyes on for a while.

6 SIMPLE THINGS I STOPPED DOING TO MY NATURAL HAIR

February 19, 2019 22 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all having a good day and had a great start of the week. I decided to embark on a water fast and don’t even know what made me do such a thing, I haven’t cheated or fainted yet so let’s hope I make it through. Anyway since I was thinking of doing my hair this week, it made me realise how my routine has changed. If you read my post here on how to have healthy natural hair then you know what it takes. Since then, my hair has gone through a lot from pregnancy to colour damage to lots of unnecessary trims. I did notice 6 simple things I stopped doing to my natural hair and I will be sharing that with you today.
