Loc update

I went to get my hair done yesterday and I'm happy to be taking a break from doing it myself. I was browsing through my old pictures this afternoon and I found a picture from a year and a half ago of my locs and I'm so happy for the new growth I've had. Il be honest locs take patience and conviction because you miss doing other things with your hair even something as simple as combing.. Anyway here is a picture of then vs now of my hair in a ponytail ps excuse the mess on the picture on the right.

MAKE-UP WISH LIST

Hey guys, i feel like its been a while since I've posted and its because one. I'm still enjoying people around me since i haven't seen them in such a long time and two. because my darling photographer (my little sister) is not here so its almost impossible to take pictures for the blog. So whenever i don't have pictures to post i go to my trusted mood-boards/collage so that i have something to put up. I'l be honest i quiet enjoy creating the mood-boards it took time to learn how to create them and ever since i've learnt i have been hooked. Today's post is inspired by an  upcoming wedding that il be a bridesmaid on and I'm really excited so i wanted to try all new makeup for the wedding and these are some of the products I'm dying to get my hands on. Now a little disclaimer I'm not a makeup artist or expert in any way i just like playing with makeup sometimes. With makeup or anything i put on my face i do a lot of research because i have very sensitive skin and one wrong product, I break out into a million hives.

Anastasia Beverly hills highlighter (that glow)// Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation// Nars Blush in the colour Lovejoy// Smashbox Primer Water// Kat Von D light + shade contour palette// all from Sephora.
I am a highlighter junkie i love how it just gives you a radiant glow that looks like its from within, this quad from ABH is a steal for $52 and I'm sure it will last a very long time can't wait to give it a try.
Matte liquid lipstick is Candy K by Kylie Cosmetics,to be honest i didn't really care much about these liquid lipsticks until a friend of mine bought one and i tried it. The formula is amazing it doesn't over dry the lips and it smells yummy, I can't wait to get my hands on it, this one and True Brown K. They are always sold out so you can check out Kylie Jenner's Instagram page to see when they restock.
This L'oreal Telescopic mascara is the bomb dot com i have seen so many you-tubers rave about it but i never believed the hype until i tried my aunt's a few days ago and i can safely say its my new favourite drugstore mascara, it knocks my covergirl lash bloom out of the park. You can get it at Walmart for about $11 or at Foschini and Edgars here in Botswana (not sure how much it retails for here).
PS I currently have Chris Brown Graffiti(deluxe edition) album on replay because i love every song he has ever made and he is awesome and talented lol (totally fanning out)... XO

MONDAY BLUES

Hey y'all, i have a cute and short outfit of the day (OOTD) idea that i would love to rock and its all inspired by the colour blue. you know how people talk about the Monday blues i thought it would be fun to make that the the theme of this post. this gorgeous denim-like dress is from Zara it has a cute cutout detail at the back and its a little asymmetric at the bottom which is perfect for me because I'm shorter it will accentuate my legs. Id pair this dress with a black pair of sandals to contrast the blue of the bag and dress. I love silver accessories with this look, along with the watch id throw in silver hooped earrings and some simple rings. Finally, a retro red lip would give this look a kick to make it more fierce or to simmer it down just have on a nude lip and makeup.

Hello from the Netherlands (Amsterdam)

Well not really its just the airport but still its technically still Amsterdam..

obsessed with this snapchat filter makes me feel so bohemian

This is the face of pure exhaustion and sleep deprevation 

Blogging waiting on my connection

TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

Hey guys, so i decided to post some of my favourite things to carry while travelling. Every year i go to Botswana so this made sense since i travel so frequent. Im currently blogging from the Netherlands, Amsterdam well by the time this blog post goes up il be in Botswana so without further ado here they are

1. Tech stuff

i have my laptop because i wanted to blog while waiting for my connection which I'm doing right now lol, i also have my point and shoot camera (similar), cellphone my watch because I'm obsessed with knowing time especially when I'm flying. Lastly i have headphones to listen to music and side not i bought music from iTunes for the first time which I'm jamming to right now.

2. Toiletries

Ok lets start from left to right, I have this hydrating mask that i may or may not use, i got this because my skin gets really dehydrated during the winter and when I'm travelling but I'm scared to use it because i have very sensitive skin but il let y'all know how it was if i decide to use it. Next is my underage cream which i love i have a small review on it on this post, then i have my lip moisturizers at the top, vaseline, EOS lip balm and Nyx butter gloss in Tiramisu. i also have my travel size toothpaste and mouthwash(forgot to include my tooth brush but its also essential and get a case/cover for it). i also have my hand sanitizer because I'm a bit of a germaphobe, also my hand cream because ashy hands are not cute, mints and lastly nasal spray because my allergies go crazy especially during bed time and tissues. Oh forgot to mention the small weird whitish tube has a sample of origins clay mask I got from Sephora. 

3. Snacks
I don't really like to eat in the airplane because the food is just gross to me so i got a few snacks but let me tell you the Fritos did not make it into the plane because i ate them on the way to the airport because they are the best thing since sliced bread. So i just have these peace slices from dollar rama and gum
