RoseBOX UK Launch

Hello Lovelies!
Last week Thursday, I left lil ol Crewe & traveled to London town for the launch of RoseBOX UK.
RoseBOX is a subscription service that offers ladies who have kinky, curly, wavy & multi textured hair the opportunity to try out hair products not widely available in the UK.
So if you live in the UK, sign up! Head over to the site here & don't delay!


I was excited when I heard about this service being launched so I took up the opportunity to attend the launch.
The support was great as there were many faces present. I met some incredible ladies that night.

Daily Fix of Hair

This is my 300th post Lovelies!!
I should have reached this milestone a long time ago but nevertheless, I am pleased as punch about it.
At one point I wasn't sure if I would continue with blogging due to varying circumstances so the fact that I'm at 300 posts & have faithful readers is tremendous.
Thank you to all who read, pass by & support. Can't wait to do 300 more!

Today's fix will be of ladies who inspired me to start blogging

Fall Hair Regimen

Hello Lovelies! 
Since we're almost into Winter (I want it to snow so badly!) I thought I woud share how I've been up keeping this mane of mine for Autumn.
I have a bit of a structured routine unlike in the Summer where I did a lot of wash n gos whenever I felt like it. I have to pay attention to my hair & keeping it healthy in the colder weather. 
I do this once a week with a co wash or 2 in between. (I'll do a separate post on that)
Gonna sprinkle some pics of myself throughout the post because no one likes to read without pictures!
Or maybe some do.... 
Anyhoo, here it goes!

Waddup though?!

Daily Fix of Hair


Today's fix is of Myself =)
This was on my 21st birthday a month ago.

bE Wise

Hello Lovelies!
Today is Election Day in the US of A 
& from the posts on Twitter & Instagram, 
it seems as if most,if not all, are out & about voting!

I planned on posting about this song from before but today it seems even more fitting.
It's the music video for Protoje's latest single Kingston Be Wise off of his EP 'The 8 Year Affair'.



Now I know Kingston is not in America but everyone who is voting today should BE WISE in their decision. 



The song is very socially conscious with the lyrical content being based upon the Tivoli Gardens invasion by the Jamaican military 2 years ago. 
The sound is very reminiscent of late 80s- early 90s reggae music. It reminded me of a Black Uhuru song.
The visuals for the track are simple yet profound with aerial shots of the different communities of Kingston & with shots of Protoje in Tivoli Gardens. 



Kingston, be wise 
Kingston, free up your mind 
Kingston, just be wise 
Kingston, free up the I, yeah




Take inspiration from these words in whatever you do today & tomorrow.
Enjoy =)
