Local Hair Products to support!

Greetings, I hope you are having fun and have had a pleasant week, or you could be typing away like me but nonetheless it's the weekend! I have picked out 5 websites/products that I came across when I did this search many moons ago looking for local products for my hair because all the YouTube experts I watch are in the States.  I have not bought from all of them, I am just simply doing this post to create awareness and to build up support for local content so they too can have a shelf at your nearest store. First of will be Afro-botanics Well I have 2 of their products in my bathroom, mainly because you can get it at Game but selected stores. I have a shampoo and a protein treatment. I am well pleased with them, I also had their kiddies spray which reminds me to go get another one-it is a must have. They also have an online store, but I am happy with going to Game, though sometimes it does not stock all their products! You can check them out here>> OaMobu Nat...

With Joy comes happiness

Hello happy Christians, What is joy?  Google search and the first result says (besides the ad): a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. When I was reading up on this I found two websites that elaborate on the biblical aspect of joy and happiness. What led me to this was that this morning I felt joyful and thinking of myself and my situation joy would be the last thing to come to mind or heart. But because I know I'm not heavily because of my saviour, I was filled with joy from praising him even in my lowest of points. On Tuesday I attend a connect group and during that discussion one particular person kept saying they just want to be happy because the situation they're in -job related - is not satisfactory to the point they become depressed. At the back of my head I kept thinking but I'm kinda going through the same as you are but I've overcome that self want and have found happiness by rejoicing in what has been provided to me. It is unhealthy to continuo...

Christianity uncovered(the ugly)

Hello there, I hope you are having a good week. I am not going to paint my faith bad but I am just going to point out a misconception on Christianity! Christians are seen by other Christians as prosperous/happy/BLESSED, the fact that those people are people who live to work, raise a family , pay debts does not cross others minds! I hope I am trying to explain myself well, I will keep trying. The reason I am saying that is because I used to think the same. We are guilty of putting a -no problem , always happy face- in front of our lives as soon as we accept Jesus, or as soon as we become part of a church. We shy away from being transparent with those who are supposed to be our closest family the people we are taking this walk with and by so doing we create that false illusion. The person next to you thinks that 'oh my word ever since Tshego started going to church she has got her life together', whilst in the mean time you are barely making ends-meat or whatever it is you a...

Braids Take Down! and Wash Day!

After and during braids Hello, I could not wait to write this post though its almost a week since I took the braids off. I hope you are having a blessed week and wish you an even more blessed weekend. I am so proud of myself with the way I handled my braids this time around! I shared some of the things I was doing to take care of them on my protective style post here>>> !  I had the braids on my head for 6 weeks. I could not go any longer because I noticed the roots having build up(white stuff) and you want to avoid that at all costs. No matter how much you keep your hair clean it is inevitable with the length of time you keep them in. That is why I was using water and oil only to moisturise my hair to avoid the build up too soon. I also missed my hair and thought that it needed to get some real air. Why do you want to avoid build up? It causes your hair to matt at the roots(making it look like dreads) and detangling that can pull out hair from your roots if...

What is in my beauty bag? Part 2 Make-up

All my makeup stash, don't judge! Wassup, wassup Yeah I have had too much caffeine,I hope you are having a great evening and a good start to your week! I hope this part 2 won't be as lengthy as part 1 I will try my best. Let's GO... I am going to write about the products according to brands so don't follow the numbers on this picture in chronological order to the words. Catrice 1. Catrice Prime and Fine Smoothing Refiner . I don't have much to say about this primer. If you have oily skin it is not for you. I was looking for something price friendly and yeah bad choice. I cannot really give it a fair rating. L.A. Girl 2. LA Girl Pro Powder HD Powder . I think I like this setting powder but I found that it did not last long for me, by mid day I would be shining bright like a diamond. Maybe if I had a good primer then I would say something else, you also have to be good at blending to look less spooky with this one. Essence As you can see most of the p...

Spur of the moment! Tithing/Offering

I just had an outburst of a moment, I cannot explain. I left everything and had to write this. I don't even know where this came from (God obviously) but yeah, just my two cents worth on tithing/offering. Your money does not go to God no! It is your heart/soul/spirit that does. But that does not mean you should stop tithing. I learned to pay my tithe with my bills, it is part of my bills, not after and sometimes it makes first place (I am practising this slowly). I am not preaching about how tithing will change your financial life etc. mine has certainly not and I am not expecting anything , I am not bribing God or anyone for that matter hence I don't expect anything or how you should be doing it right, I am no expert in that field. Paying rent/bond is not an obligation it is a responsibility, do the same with your tithe? Am I wrong to think such? Why am I saying this? How do you expect your pastor to give communion to the congregation every first Sunday of the mont...

What is in my beauty bag? Part 1 Hair Products

I have been dreading this post for some time out of laziness really. I would like to apologise for missing my post last week, had a change of routine and everything got thrown out of balance a bit or a lot regarding my online presence... Starting for the back left, Anti-Fungal Spray I trust that you are doing well, and have had a good weekend and week so long. SO.. What products do I currently have in my possession? What is in my beauty bag? I am going to show you all the products that I use for both my daughter and I, hair, skin and face(makeup). I am gonna try to be as organised as possible. After all the sorting that I had to do I realised that this post may need to be broken up into parts, and I am going to start with my hair products and give you a bit of a review on them. So without wasting any time lets get into it... Hair Stash! Rosemary Anti-fungal Braid Spray - I bought this along with the Hair masque but started using it when I got my braids, eliminate the itch...
