Well Good morning/afternoon/evening or anything in between,

Can you believe we're up to 3 posts this week? To be quite honest I can't, since I go through seasons of not posting this is rare - not anyone elses fault but my own. September went by super fast that now its becoming darker earlier and hella cold too, which as a result causes flu season. I'm over this all already and miss the warmth - not the kind that comes and goes during October. I want to have ice cream without a blanket, to have a cold shower not a boiling hot bath.

I guess what I'm trying to say is 'summer where you at'. Summer is over. But, I'm still reminiscing over it all because I realised how quick it went. Today I was literally going through my summer photos and came across my carni ones. Carnival legit is the weekend to end all weekends in summer and I got to spend it with some amazing people. Good vibes and good people is the recipe for the ultimate end to summer.

Even though summer is over, a new season is beginning and its time to embrace it. So put away your shorts and grab your faux fur. It's gonna be cold one, I can feel it.

Enjoy your week, I'll be back x

Summer Sixteen saw the beginning of a whole new me. After being enclosed for such a long time doing my GCSEs I really wanted, craved a change - as always the change was my hair. Blue for me, especially this blue had me in awe - to be honest it had everyone like oh my days she did that. I think it gave me a sense of confidence too, it takes a lot to leave the house for the first time with blue hair. I tested the waters first by going to Morrisons - mate that was the scariest shopping trip of my life, plus all I bought was Snickers. I loved the movement WOC started of bold colours on natural hair - obviously I have relaxed hair so that wouldn't work, plus I didn't want to dye my own hair. Also, I saw Adelaine Morins nails :

The whole holographic blue had me mesmerized beyond words can explain - also Jennie Jenkins had green so I thought why not. I know we're all back at school, starting uni or leaving different places - but the fact is as we all begin new areas, or go back to where we are start with a new mindset. It might sound silly but sometimes I still feel like I'm wearing the blue - purely based on how I carry myself.


Actual info about the hair : it's from Aliexpress and always the links become dead after a while. But, I got you cause I have made myself the hair plug.  If you click here it will take you to the various wigs on Aliexpress - yes, you read correctly it's a wig. As I think this whole 'hair series' will probably continue, I'll do some other pieces on my hair collection. My mum actually congratulated me on my progress in wig making and styling - that's a first.

So, don't hate me but here I am again with a new post that actually isn't fashion related. Every week there are those questions that always seem to make their way to me like - 'are you from Ethiopia?' 'is that your real hair?' and then the one that appears most 'HOW DO YOU DO YOUR EDGES?'. I'm not going to say that I spend hours and hours in crafting my edges - but like I have grown in the 'Art of Edges'. You know them ones you see peoople (or yourself) laughing about on insta - looking like a phone number or S's. Yeah, that was me. No evidence is available on social media before you guys start looking...



 Okay so, like any other WOC I use my little old toothbrush - in my opinion the harder the bristles the harder it will be to create the curl pattern. A good silk scarf - mate no exaggeration this is actually the major key. I'm sorry for the DJ Khaled reference but... Sorry not sorry. If you think about it wrapping your hair before bed is the best thing for it - preventing hair loss, oil transfer and friction. I actually came across a really good article which educates you on which one is which, as well as the benefits of each fabric. click here for website.
