Back Again!

Hey lovelies, That came out so naturally! What a year this has been right? *insert meme about scratching 2020 out of life*. just me Life has been happening and we have been handed all of it this year, I think that is the general feeling all round. The last time I posted something was almost a year ago and I have been recently challenged to pick the blog back up again seeing that it has been getting some eye traffic. So what have I been up to? I had a baby last year, she is 18 months now. Still at the same job (hard to get a new job during lock down). I am starting up a business , will tell you more later. I did another big chop and bleached my hair, to name a few. So yes, I am now a mom of 2 and running a crazy loud household of girls whilst juggling work and a new 'business' and now I want to add blogging back in to the space.I honestly feel like this has always been my outlet and I am not into vlogging or anything YouTube(read video) related even though I h...

God answers our prayers.

source @ kaboom pics Hey fellow human, Disclaimer: When I wrote this I was single,but I was not brave enough to publish it. However I just recently read it and thought it has some pretty good gems in it.  God answers our prayers even though we don't usually see them until we have lived them for a quite a while. I used to live with the father of my kid and when we were together I knew that I wanted to live on my own. I prayed for it over and over and eventually it slid to the back of my mind because we had a kid and life happened. Our relationship took a sour turn and I was reminded of my initial desires. And so the journey of living ‘alone’ happened but I was living with my kid and thus became a single parent. If you thought God did not have a sense of humour there it is. I have been living alone with my kid for 2 years now and this year has felt particularly hard. It is breaking my back and bones, I am working from the sweat of my head ...

Where have I been?

Hey lovelies, I don't quite know how to kick this off yet. I am doing alright and I hope you  are too. I have been deciding whether or not to keep the blog, which is why I have been missing for quite a while. Kamboopics There has not been much happening in the life of my hair I thin k but since I wanted to make this blog both spiritual and lifestyle-ish I have rather been focused on my new job(again!) and life in general. I have also been feeling bad for not paying attention to this space spiritually. I think if I had put in more effort there would have been quite a lot of improvement during the absence and a lot more of you as well, but I would rather look on the bright side and put in the work moving forward no sense in looking back. I have also been reading about what makes blogs successful lol and one of the things I read the most was to never give up on your blog, most people give up within the first year and I do not want to be a part of that statistic. So here I a...

My Lippie Collection.

Hello girlfriend, Now we know in every make up loving girl there should be a must have lipstick or at least the 'I feel lucky today' lipstick. I initially just wanted to talk about the Signature Cosmetics liquid metal lipsticks(gloss) I am not sure what they are, instead I thought it would be better if I include the newest additions to my stash. I hope you are doing great as the winter is slowly creeping in on this side of the country. I am that one weird person who buys lipsticks with colours that are out of season. Am I the only one? I cannot be alone in this. Take this as a warning for the colours you are about to see before wondering to yourself why am I wearing pink in April. I will stop jabbering. I have for you some beau's from L.A. Girl Matte Lipsticks. I gotta say I love the formula of these lippies except for the bright pink one. They totally missed the matte there. It applies well but I feel like it swishes around on my lip and has a sheen to it, some t...

Singled Out?

Hello Child of God, I know it has been a while since I last posted something related to Christianity and I am afraid this will be more of a rant. I apologise for that in case you were seeking some encouragement, I too am seeking some encouragement. source:: kaboompics So I have been single for a while and looking into dating. I am a google scholar honestly, anything that crosses my mind ends up in a google search. So recently I have searched how do people who are dating remain pure till they get hitched? And the most common answers among the blogs I went through was to have an accountability partner. My mind started racing in search of who I could find to make my accountability partner now and when I start dating. Naturally I look into the resources offered by the church and they are all for couples(engaged/married/families). This for me is a little bit discouraging because I am not going to marry the next guy I meet within our first two dates, I still need to get to know ...

NARS lipstick from Chinatown

Hello lovelies Isn’t that a catchy title? I am not click baiting you, I promise. How are you doing? I am doing alright and as you can see I am also trying to be more consistent with my uploads on the new blog. Please let me know how you are finding it so far. Some few weekends ago I went to Chinatown to go get some cheap supplies and I left with a lot more than I bargained to buy. The real reason I went to Chinatown was to go get some false lashes. They have a packet of three pairs for only R16. I have been trying out false lashes lately and found that those are a great way to start practising since I ruined two expensive pairs from Clicks R40 each(comes with glue though). And on top of that I find that they are light and have sparse hairs, perfect for first timers like me. I have to admit I have gotten better with each application. all under R150  On the list of the things that I bought are the NARS lipstick, an eye shadow brush(love it),ano...

Local Hair products to support 2

Hello lovely, Just though I should do a quick post for you, so that you don't forget about me. I am ever so tempted to go buy the next product at my local Clicks or Dischem (Dark and lovely is not making it easy hey) and then I remind myself there are willing South Africans out there who are in need of my support and this platform is also another way of getting them known and spreading the love. I am sure some of them you have heard of and some you have probably seen on TV. Nilotiqa If you have not seen them on TV then you are seeing them here. This brand has been flooding my timeline on Instagram since I am following a natural hair movement and I have been hearing good things about it. And as usual I am always on the lookout for local brands. I just wish they were readily available in Cape Town. I have also been eyeing their detangler, can't wait to get my hands on it.
