Daily Fix of Hair

 Today's fix is of....
ME!

To make up for being gone so long, I figured I should plaster myself all over my own blog.
I love finding photos of other people & their lustrous hair
but what I really love is seeing personal pics on personal blogs.
So let me do what I love to see =)





Photography by... ME!
haha.
It's the weekend!

What are your plans?

Daily Fix of Hair

This is a wash n go I did.

-Co washed with Giovanni 50:50 Hydrating-Calming Conditioner

-Applied Tresemme Naturals afterwards & rinsed out most of it

-I then applied Mixed Silk Leave in Conditioner by Silk Elements
Ran a bit of almond oil on my hair & let it dry overnight in a pineapple.

Excuse the poor quality pics. I didn't use my camera but my Macbook.

TeaTime Tidbit


I don't know why but every time I have a cup of tea, I feel as if my senses get going and the neurons in my brain get to racing.

Oh yes, it is called caffeine.
Besides that stimulant, the act of drinking tea makes me feel warm, cozy and gets me to thinking. So I felt inspired to have posts entitled Tea Time Tidbits where I share little nuggets of inspiration & the random going ons in my head.
So brew yourself a cup of whatever you fancy & join me! Comments are always welcome
Cheers!



note: these pics are from January. 


The first one is about loving yourself. So cliche but something that needs to be said. Many people out there, women & men, don't love themselves. They have issues with embracing who they are and fully loving all that God gave them. Inside and out.

I figured I would start with the outside. I was checking out Tracee Ellis Ross' website (which is great btw) and she had a wonderful post about breasts. It was about her breasts and the view society has on the way breasts should look. To read click here.
After reading the article, I felt more secure with my breasts. I've always looked at them as not attractive in the nude, that they should be higher up and they look much better in the dark. I didn't really love my boobs. The article was uplifting (no pun intended) because it made me realize God made my boobs, everyone's boobs are different & I should love my boobs!

With that said, love yourself. What you think are imperfections are really what makes you, YOU. Sets you apart from everyone else.

No one is perfect, we're all imperfect so love yourself. You're GREAT!

Colo(u)r


Alo Lovelies!

So this summer I've been experimenting with my hair.  I've done a lot of wash n gos, co washing and all that jazz that I don't normally do. I also decided to play around with some color.
I got bored & really wanted to try it out but not on my whole head. I decided that I wanted to do a streak of golden blonde.
WARNING!
THIS POST IS CHOCK FULL OF PICS!
More deets after the jump.

Artiste Spotlight

She isn't new on the scene
especially to most natural haired ladies

Lianne La Havas.




Her sense of style and amazing hair is what drew me in first then I heard her voice & I was love struck.
She's a Brit.
but of course!
They're so bloody talented.
A friend of mine told me the other day that she reminds him of me and I was extremely flattered.



Anyhoo
I've been listening to her album 'Is Your love Big Enough' these past few weeks and my fav track Forget has visuals.

I love the video & the fun hairstyle she rocks in it.
She ditches her signature side bun for a simple updo with bangs undone.
I think the style is one that can be done casually and for a night out.

Can't wait to try it.
Check out the vid below and cop her album on iTunes!

Hello Lovelies! How art all of you?

I clearly like to do disappearing acts. I took a huge break from this blog.

Why?

Well I simply didn't feel like posting. I did not want to post content on here that I wasn't 100% into. At the end of the day, it is my blog, I post what I feel like and if I don't feel like posting anything... I don't.

I completely embraced Summer and the carefree nature that goes with it and now that Fall is creeping back slowly but surely, I decided to say Hello! before Autumn does :)






I've got some reviews to do of products I've been using over the summer so look out for those.

&

the other random posts I normally do.

What have you all been up to these Summer days?
Excited for Autumn?
