ABOUT MY HAIR || 9 MONTHS GROWTH- (my natural hair journey)

01:39

Can I take this moment to just reminisce of the good old days when I had the relaxed hair which was so easy for me to maintain. There is a misconception that going natural is for everyone but I'll be the first to admit that I am really struggling 2 take care of this little twa of mine. I've decided to read up on how to truly take care of my hair the best possible way I can. I'm at the crossroads really. Is it time yet for me to relax my hair or should I Brave it out and see where this natural hair Journey takes me. Relentlessly I keep purchasing natural hair products, what smells good by the way just not friendly to the pocket. Yes I've suddenly turned into one of those girls whose bathroom is filled with different products to try every now and again.

Let me be the first to say no one forced me to go natural. I decided sometime last year that my relaxed hair was way too damaged to try and revive. I mean every Soldier needs to accept defeat once in awhile and make changes where you can. Have I been enjoying the journey so far? Not really to be honest. Truth is I didn't really think it through and I started. Do I regret starting? No!! As I draft this post, I am sitting on my bed trying to figure out what to do with my hair. Kind of funny really that I just removed my weave and and I am indecisive about what I want to do next. Should I just pretend to be one of those Pinterest girls whose hair look something like what you would find in a magazine.

This is 9months growth (I did the big chop last October) and I am rocking the hair in its natural state. Below I show the length when the hair is stretched out from the back. So far my hair length is even all over so I won't be trimming it any time soon. Any suggestions on what products I can use as a naturalists? Im planning to keep my hair out for this week so wish me luck. Have a blessed week everyone :)

OUTFIT || ALL BLACK LOVE AFFAIR

23:42

Musings....My weekend is ending on a really high note people. Welcome back to my blog and to all my new readers, welcome to the family. I hope you choose to stay and invite others to become a part of the fam bam. I've been challenging myself to push boundaries, get out of my comfort zone and better myself with each passing day and today I took a step into my future. I attended a networking event, which I had been looking forward to btw and the experience was amazing. I met gorgeous, educated ladies and I got to share part of the experience on snapchat as the host of @zimconnect for 12 hrs. (make sure you follow them if you don't already). I'll be sharing tips on how to network successfully in my next post but in the mean time, about my outfit....

Closet Staple.....Have I ever mentioned how hard it is to find a pair of jeans that fits right ? We’ve all gone through that daunting treasure hunt for that perfect pair of jeans at one point in our lives. It’s a process that takes effort, diligence, and endurance. In extreme cases, this unavoidable style search can last endless hours, create caffeine overconsumption, and leave even the most expert shoppers feeling defeated at the end of the day. Black skinnies are my go to as a curvy girl and it’s important to find ones that do your body some good. Black is great for that slimming effect because it eliminates the shadows that rolls of fat can throw. Here are my top 3 reasons why black skinnies are a closet staple for me:

1. You can dress skinnies up or down- Yaas save that Cha-ching. As a student, these skinnies, a white tank top and sandals will have you turning heads down the street, dress them up with a pair of heels and blazer and you'll are presentation ready.

2. Black jeans make sense when the world doesnt... need i say more ?

3. Black jeans where there for me when emo music wasnt

GREY'BSESSION

23:44

Hey guys. Spreading love to all my divas out there 😘. It's been a while since I posted something up but I hope you are all well.

I've been obsessing over grey for a while now. I've mentioned a couple of times how I love the minimalistic look and grey never disappoints. It serves chic, effortless and flawless when paired with the right pieces. The weather has been bipolar a lot lately and I couldn't resist going for a comfortable mix for a day at school. I paired this sleeveless coat with a casual grey dress and added my Adidas kicks for the win.

Outfit details :

Dress- Sirens

Vest coat- Topshop

Adidas superstar - Footlocker

Thank you for dropping by

SPRING PALETTE || FLORAL MIX

00:43

Musings.......
Long week I've had but I always look forward to my Sundays. They are the one day of the week I can press the reset button on all plans, goals and just take it easy. This week I'm taking note to live life in the present moment because no other moment is more important than this one. Often times, I forget where I am and lead my life based on where I should be and that doesn't always turn out well. I know what you must be thinking. Yes we live our lives hoping for better tomorrow (and there is nothing wrong with that) But often times we forget to be fully present, to live now. Look for something positive in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder.

Wardrobe Revamp?....
Say yes to bold hues and another yes for skater skirts. The trick to maximizing your closet is to mix the old and the new and truth be told. The skater skirt plus crop top mix is one of my all time favorites and I added a fur swing bag to bring life to the whole look.

DENIM OBSESSION || BUTTON DOWN SKIRT

03:06

Since last year, I haven't been able to get my eyes off the button down skirt. We could say its a trend for this year?? I've never been one to follow trends but i couldn't resist this one. I mean, its that one piece you can rock all year round, can dress it up or down (yes, I am so in love with pieces like that) Should I get into details about my struggle to find a fitting size ? Honestly, at some point I had given up hope of finding a skirt that fits then I found this H&M number. Fits decent enough and even better with a belt (which i recently discovered btw).

and a few bonus dance shots, because my shoot was hella fun!

MUSINGS.....

Letting go is that feeling I'm yet to come to terms with. Since I was a little girl, I've always found it hard to let go of anything, be it friendships to relationships and even the small things... Alas, I get attached to things in a way I'm somewhat ashamed to admit but unapologetically proud of. This has proven to be both good and bad in my life. Good in terms of how I'm able to keep clothes for a long time and in the best conditions to sustain their quality. Bad, well.. that's a story for another day. I've come to learn however that sometimes in life you need to let go of things or people when they don't serve a purpose in your life anymore. I've held onto some toxic relationships because I was scared to let go, fearing change but I learnt that you can miss a lot of blessings or opportunities while holding on.

WARDROBE PICKINGS.....

I love my peplums.. yes they may not be as trendy as they were a few years back but as a curvy girl, they are a timelessly essential style to my closet. Its the style that I'm guaranteed to look good in on any given day. I've been loving my strappy shoes so best believe you'll be seeing these a lot in the following posts. I paired my peplum top with this burgundy leather skirt and my cat eyed shades. I thought I told you guys I'm a diva, best believe I rep Diva behaviour.
