January was a trial month." Honestly that is how I feel. If I were to let January be the month to set the tone for the rest of my 2016 then I would have to call for its end to come. Fast. The year got off to a shaky start for me. I have just got back to work after a rough week off sick. I will share more on that on a separate post altogether by the way. For now though, here is my first outfit for the "new year". February is also my birthday, which makes it that bit extra.<br /><br />Outfit details : shirt: Fashion Express(very old, got it in 2012) Skirt : <a href="http://www.aliexpress.com/promotion/apparel_black-and-white-polka-dot-tutu-promotion.html" target="_blank">AliExpress</a> Shoes: Prato at Edgars(also old, bought in 2012) Sunglasses:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0ya7TtwPucc/Vq83dF5MbbI/AAAAAAAACtY/6lhdFP_P6sU/s1600/IMG_8389.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0ya7TtwPucc/Vq83dF5MbbI/AAAAAAAACtY/6lhdFP_P6sU/s640/IMG_8389.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9s5mLpdGl7M/Vq83enAQ69I/AAAAAAAACtc/NZB3V1CJwM0/s1600/IMG_8391.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9s5mLpdGl7M/Vq83enAQ69I/AAAAAAAACtc/NZB3V1CJwM0/s640/IMG_8391.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6KFLuA4V50w/Vq83gLihPPI/AAAAAAAACto/daWVjBoblFQ/s1600/IMG_8399.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6KFLuA4V50w/Vq83gLihPPI/AAAAAAAACto/daWVjBoblFQ/s640/IMG_8399.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bXimsnz4PJI/Vq83hLwOZtI/AAAAAAAACtw/ttv0kxRFBvs/s1600/IMG_8397.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bXimsnz4PJI/Vq83hLwOZtI/AAAAAAAACtw/ttv0kxRFBvs/s640/IMG_8397.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BuDc0e1c7hY/Vq83kPqMg9I/AAAAAAAACt4/fRQ7V7Hpk74/s1600/IMG_8431.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BuDc0e1c7hY/Vq83kPqMg9I/AAAAAAAACt4/fRQ7V7Hpk74/s640/IMG_8431.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5kN8qwuldxg/Vq83mFAaACI/AAAAAAAACuA/eIHlL5ksq9M/s1600/IMG_8427.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5kN8qwuldxg/Vq83mFAaACI/AAAAAAAACuA/eIHlL5ksq9M/s640/IMG_8427.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Zona zahttps://plus.google.com/102092415942181366842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897552668874521763.post-38170517941972610982015-11-10T02:47:00.000-08:002015-11-24T01:09:09.132-08:00I'm still aliveI don't even know where to begin justifying my long absence. To be honest, I have no solid reason for my sudden and unannounced absence in the blogosphere. What I do know for sure though is that I miss this place. A lot happened since I last posted. I changed jobs, went through a breakup and plenty more in between. As I said, I miss it out here. I am going to try posting regularly again, to be sane again.<br /><br />Here's a few snaps from the weekend. I went to the beach with my sister and a friend. Well I must admit that during my sabbatical on the blogosphere I did pick a healthy amount of body confidence, lol. I wore a two piece bikini to the beach. no cover up, just my chunky chocolate self :) <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The content of the channel will mostly be makeup, beauty, style and just general things about life. I posted two videos a few weeks ago that were tutorials but I hadn't introduced myself. So today I've just uploaded an introduction entitled "About Me". It's really brief but I felt it had to be done. Of course as time goes by I will share more about myself. For now though check this out.<br />xx<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/xtUbFUfF-JU/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/xtUbFUfF-JU?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/xtUbFUfF-JU?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div><br />Zona zahttps://plus.google.com/102092415942181366842noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897552668874521763.post-71179258075740900492014-03-18T03:34:00.001-07:002014-03-25T00:43:46.962-07:00Everyday face! <br />Hi there<br /><br />It's no secret that as I grow older, like many ladies I know I've started to like makeup, a lot. However as much as I love catching the beat I like to keep it simple. I do switch it up for nights out and special occasions but on the daily I keep it so minimal you'd think I'm bare faced. I started wearing makeup regularly about two years ago(yes, late bloomer in many books but yeah lol).I see myself as a beginner. Makeup for the longest time really was not a big deal here in SA. Many ladies don't wear it at all. However many are starting to wear it like my newbie self. I've started a Youtube channel wherein I'll share the little that I've learnt so far on makeup/beauty and style. Yes there are millions of beauty channels out there, but there aren't many by South African girls. It's all well and good oooh and aaah about gorgeous makeup on YT but it sucks that some of the products used by the girls from the US/UK are either not available at all here or super expensive. Now with this channel I'm using items that are available in SA and inexpensive. Phew, that was mouthful! anyhoo here's the video of my everyday makeup. Check it out, subscribe to the channel, rate and comment.<br />xx<br /><object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/yh-UKwhKmRg/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/yh-UKwhKmRg?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/yh-UKwhKmRg?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XU_BKuzvaV4/UyggdqNTZ6I/AAAAAAAACbM/_fCPTvp4u_M/s1600/BEFOREANDAFTER.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XU_BKuzvaV4/UyggdqNTZ6I/AAAAAAAACbM/_fCPTvp4u_M/s1600/BEFOREANDAFTER.JPG" height="400" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">before meets after :D</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /> Zona zahttps://plus.google.com/102092415942181366842noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897552668874521763.post-12452530326155106642014-03-10T02:10:00.000-07:002014-03-25T00:42:10.687-07:00Maybe she's born with it! Hello Loves<br /><br />Some time in mid February I entered a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MaybellineSA" target="_blank">Maybelline South Africa</a> competition called L'Oreal Maybelline Dream competition on Facebook. You know how it goes, you enter a competition and think "I probably won't win this, there's thousands of pretty girls who visit the page, surely there'll be as many entries". The first stage of the competition required one to post their picture posing with their favourite Maybelline product. Because I have three favourites I took 3 selfies using them, created a collage and entered. Yes there were many entries, gorgeous girls if I may add, but to cut a long story short, I was picked as one of the 10 finalists and I received the news on my birthday(28 February). The second stage required that the finalists send a short video of themselves motivating why they should win. That was the easiest part for me because I LOVE Maybelline products(and their advertisements more lol), and surely the brand would want someone who knows and loves their products to win. So as soon as I got home after work that day I put together my humble little "set" in my room, that basically means I sat on my camp chair, put my phone on the window seal and started rolling. I did just one take, as honest as could be, edited it immediately(adding the opening and closing segment and music) and viola! I won! ayeye! *big grin*<br />The prize for competition includes return flight tickets to Cape Town + accommodation (yay I haven't been to CPT since 2012), a pro photo shoot(makeup and wardrobe, the works :D) and wait for it....a feature on Glamour magazine! I'm really really excited bout this. I thought I'd share the video with you. Check it out below. I will definitely share everything about the trip and the shoot so do keep an eye.<br />xx<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-99c87ca2eaa0bc5e" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/get_player"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://redirector.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D99c87ca2eaa0bc5e%26itag%3D5%26source%3Dblogger%26app%3Dblogger%26cmo%3Dsensitive_content%3Dyes%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1456471724%26sparams%3Dip,ipbits,expire,id,itag,source%26signature%3D05C7660C3C238BB928CEBC6B9E923E920F391775.21B23AF4441461FABD20D96082E8E43561471E61%26key%3Dck2&iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D99c87ca2eaa0bc5e%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DtnRvIb4HTxrr2a4YeXBQxZcsfOY&autoplay=0&ps=blogger"><embed src="//www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashvars="flvurl=http://redirector.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D99c87ca2eaa0bc5e%26itag%3D5%26source%3Dblogger%26app%3Dblogger%26cmo%3Dsensitive_content%3Dyes%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1456471724%26sparams%3Dip,ipbits,expire,id,itag,source%26signature%3D05C7660C3C238BB928CEBC6B9E923E920F391775.21B23AF4441461FABD20D96082E8E43561471E61%26key%3Dck2&iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D99c87ca2eaa0bc5e%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DtnRvIb4HTxrr2a4YeXBQxZcsfOY&autoplay=0&ps=blogger" allowFullScreen="true" /></object></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q6lg_Tgxzzc/Ux2FaObIk1I/AAAAAAAACaY/ZwJcP0Wuc2Q/s1600/maybelline+entry.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q6lg_Tgxzzc/Ux2FaObIk1I/AAAAAAAACaY/ZwJcP0Wuc2Q/s1600/maybelline+entry.png" height="320" width="305" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">the collage for the first round</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Zona zahttps://plus.google.com/102092415942181366842noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897552668874521763.post-80069789520723491152014-02-10T03:27:00.001-08:002014-02-10T03:27:29.790-08:00Sorry I'm LateWhoa! Where do I even begin? Saying "happy new year" will invite remarks such as "is she crazy?" or "where have you been?" so let me not even say it. I wish I could say something very important has kept me posting here but honestly, nothing stood on my way. I would think of coming by to say my hellos but then dismiss it. Call it procrastination or downright laziness, I won't argue with you.<br /><br />Now that I'm finally here, please be kind and still accept my well wishes to you and yours loved ones for the not so new year. So far it's been really interesting for me. My emotions and feelings have been just a cocktail of excitement, nervousness, moments of feeling invincible and those of self doubt.<br /><br />Yes, like 80% of the human race (well didn't get that stat anywhere but I'm just assuming lol) I had many areas that I vowed to improve this year. As 20ForMe(2014) began I vowed to be more kind to my body, carefully watching what I put into it, meaning a drastic change in my eating and drinking habits. It's been going well low so far, I've had my hiccups but I'm still motivated. Basically I just try to not have any processed foods(think hotdogs, sausages, tomato sauce, fizzy drinks etc) I've been eating veges, fruits, meat and drinking loads of water. I'm not doing this as means of trying to lose weight, but just to feel good you know, not get bloated and just be full of energy. In addition, I've started swimming classes, yes I'm 25 turning 26 but can't swim. When I was younger(pre-teens) I could swim, but as I grew older and started worrying about my looks, especially my hair I just quit. After years of not going anywhere near a swimming pull I developed a fear of swimming which I'm the process of casting away. Swimming caps aren't sexy though lol.<br /><br />Still in the spirit of "new year new me" I finished a 9.2 kilometer fun run last week. Along with 1276 ladies, I rocked my pink Tshirt written "every girl has iron core"to take part in <a href="http://irongirl.co.za/" target="_blank">Irongirl</a> 2014. The fun run is like a pre party for the world famous South Africa Ironman 70.3 triathlon. I didn't prepare as much as I should have but I'm proud of my finishing time 1:13:55.<br /><br />On areas of uncertainty and hunger for growth mentally, physical and in my career, I am making moves, one step at a time. Before I get carried, let me stop here. I will be posting more stuff from now on. xx<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1LAiT1plO2c/UupmkySZWdI/AAAAAAAACY8/r6YK5rUrWYw/s1600/irongirlme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1LAiT1plO2c/UupmkySZWdI/AAAAAAAACY8/r6YK5rUrWYw/s1600/irongirlme.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-giU38Eudl_Q/Uvi3ZYJQzDI/AAAAAAAACZk/5OQolGUjbWI/s1600/irongirl2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-giU38Eudl_Q/Uvi3ZYJQzDI/AAAAAAAACZk/5OQolGUjbWI/s1600/irongirl2014.jpg" height="350" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I'm in there somewhere :p</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HJ-UiA0OT9M/Uvi1GxwhYvI/AAAAAAAACZY/TNper5VXFKk/s1600/greenskirt-whitevest-floralheadband.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HJ-UiA0OT9M/Uvi1GxwhYvI/AAAAAAAACZY/TNper5VXFKk/s1600/greenskirt-whitevest-floralheadband.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Zona zahttps://plus.google.com/102092415942181366842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897552668874521763.post-17783805508372746842013-12-04T02:08:00.001-08:002013-12-04T02:11:23.589-08:00OOTN...Going greenOkay we're talking Arty again.

Hello hello<br /><br />Earlier this month my super talented friend <a href="http://sugerteacoffie.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Arty Mgudlwa</a> shot a lookbook for his fast growing fashion label. Arty has been dressing Afro Pop sensation Berita for over a year now. The collection is mostly made up of pieces that were conceptualized around Berita's red carpet and stage looks, designed, styled and created by Arty himself. He asked me to do the makeup for the shoot and I gladly did. As a group of five friends with only two as pro's on the task for the shoot (Arty and photographer Sino Majangaza), we did the first official shoot for Arty. Eric directed the photography, Unathi and Ubi modelled and I did the facepaint. The brief was to give the girls a very simple look, nothing too flashy. So I decided on a basic goldish smokey eye and nude lips, later switched up the lips with orange and pink lipsticks. Below are some behind the scenes. Head on over to <a href="http://sugerteacoffie.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Arty's blog</a> for the final product.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89yUFEO0UHU/UpcWhB9_M2I/AAAAAAAACVM/Z2AORJe6zhA/s1600/sugarteacoffee1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Sadly she's not the only woman experiencing the problem. Many jokingly associate it with black professional nurses (don't ask me why, but if you're South African I'm sure you've heard this before). Yes back in the day they used to be mostly affected b</span></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">ecause they constantly plated/braided their hair. Now with the popularity of hair extensions, weaves and braids, more and more younger people are losing their hair. Here are a few tips that have been proven to prevent traction alopecia (inji bhabha)</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">1. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">With any hairstyle you choose, it must not be done too tight, pulling your hair. This includes the styling of dreadlocks as well.</span><br /><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">2. Every once in a while give your hair and scalp a break. Say a month or two weave/braid free. 3. Moisturize your scalp often regardless of the style you're wearing. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">4. Minimize any heat on your real hair when wearing a leave out weave. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">5. Never ever relax your hair the same of removing braids or extension. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">6. Wash and condition your hair regular, with or without extensions or braids on. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">7. Last but not least, use castor oil to base your roots. Yes castor oil you find in the medical section in stores. It's brilliant on hair. Keeps the scalp healthy and moist. It kills bacteria, helps prevent dandruff and helps keep your hair growing healthily. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">There's absolutely nothing wrong with wearing extensions, it must just be done right. I know a lot of people who only started noticing growth in the hair after they started wearing extensions. However I must add the obvious, I am not a professional, this is all information I've picked up online, friends and my own personal experiences. I decided to post this after I noticed a lot of people on facebook were shocked that my hair is indeed healthy under all the extensions I always wear. Yes it is short but it's healthy and my hairline is intact thanks to the few tips above.</span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Eh-2Og5GUdM/Ukq3ogDkGoI/AAAAAAAACSQ/a4LSm8C-LR8/s1600/Naomi-Campbell-receeding-Hair-line-extensions-picture-photo-in-Ibiza-on-Vacation-with-Billionaire-Boyfriend-Because-I-am-Fabulous-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Eh-2Og5GUdM/Ukq3ogDkGoI/AAAAAAAACSQ/a4LSm8C-LR8/s640/Naomi-Campbell-receeding-Hair-line-extensions-picture-photo-in-Ibiza-on-Vacation-with-Billionaire-Boyfriend-Because-I-am-Fabulous-1.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PjDqwSgAlfo/Ukq398LrzLI/AAAAAAAACSY/ZM6zD-cC1Og/s1600/relaxed-hair-short.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PjDqwSgAlfo/Ukq398LrzLI/AAAAAAAACSY/ZM6zD-cC1Og/s640/relaxed-hair-short.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">like I said, my hair is short but I'm happy with "health status" :)</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RBV15_OBmiQ/Ukq4AwvqSZI/AAAAAAAACSg/By_EUXVzW58/s1600/sockbun-relaxed-hair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RBV15_OBmiQ/Ukq4AwvqSZI/AAAAAAAACSg/By_EUXVzW58/s640/sockbun-relaxed-hair.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">one of my favourite styles when I don't have any extensions on is the sock-bun.

I tried all the well know everyday beauty brands, L'Oreal, Revlon, Maybelline you name them with no luck. They eithere weren't vibrant enough of shimmery. I really don't like shimmery lipstick, especially if it's a bright colour like Orange. I finally struck gold when I took sometime to check out each and every orange/coral lippie at Ralo Cosmetics! I finally found the perfect shade for me!<br /><br />Finding photos of beautiful brown skin women wearing orange lipstick was as big a challenge as finding the lippie itself! but I did manage to fine a few on Tumblr.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jH9-oNKzfL8/UjmOVOShxsI/AAAAAAAACP8/Woj_UqKRu5c/s1600/tumblr_m5e0t9uHzr1ry8136o2_250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jH9-oNKzfL8/UjmOVOShxsI/AAAAAAAACP8/Woj_UqKRu5c/s400/tumblr_m5e0t9uHzr1ry8136o2_250.jpg" width="296" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tdMt3h9CqxE/UjmOXS6dTVI/AAAAAAAACQE/1DzSYohT23o/s1600/tumblr_m5cfbn47k51ry8136o3_250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tdMt3h9CqxE/UjmOXS6dTVI/AAAAAAAACQE/1DzSYohT23o/s400/tumblr_m5cfbn47k51ry8136o3_250.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H1-JQmjPXCQ/UjmOYECptEI/AAAAAAAACQI/OoGdp1e4KiM/s1600/tumblr_m5e0t9uHzr1ry8136o4_250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H1-JQmjPXCQ/UjmOYECptEI/AAAAAAAACQI/OoGdp1e4KiM/s400/tumblr_m5e0t9uHzr1ry8136o4_250.jpg" width="305" /></a></div>last but not least, me wearing the lippie!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BqxG0NJoACo/UjmSXuXnk4I/AAAAAAAACQY/IPDO1PYLpdM/s1600/orangelipstick-darkskin-woc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BqxG0NJoACo/UjmSXuXnk4I/AAAAAAAACQY/IPDO1PYLpdM/s640/orangelipstick-darkskin-woc.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ys1nc9d9z6g/UjmSa5kTbQI/AAAAAAAACQg/LjIvdTxmTOU/s1600/orangelipstick-darkskin-woc1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ys1nc9d9z6g/UjmSa5kTbQI/AAAAAAAACQg/LjIvdTxmTOU/s640/orangelipstick-darkskin-woc1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />what do you think? will you be trying out orange lipstick? let me know :<br /><br />xxZona zahttps://plus.google.com/102092415942181366842noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897552668874521763.post-66827786779891424592013-08-13T01:35:00.001-07:002013-08-13T01:35:30.092-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is an outfit I wore this past weekend on Saturday. I love these shorts to bits. I got them from a thrift store in town about a month or two back. The way they are cut is just amazing. They are kind of loose in the thigh area, then the waist is nicely cinched! This is such a relief because I always struggle when buying non stretch pants, they never fit me perfectly on the bum as well as the waist. if the bum is fine then there's a big gap on the waist and vice versa. Story of my life! and I know a lot of ladies know exactly what I'm talking about. Unfortunately I didn't take a full pic of the outfit on and the mirror pics I took are not clear enough. It got a bit chilly so I wore black tights under the shorts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HKVsTPXprmM/Ugnp8qplEUI/AAAAAAAACOc/jWfQzQW3gKk/s1600/ootd-retro-high-waist-denim-shorts-leather-biker-jacket.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HKVsTPXprmM/Ugnp8qplEUI/AAAAAAAACOc/jWfQzQW3gKk/s640/ootd-retro-high-waist-denim-shorts-leather-biker-jacket.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Plain white T from Mr Price, high waist denim shorts: Thrift(vintage Woolies) black wedge shoes: Inwear at Truworths; biker jacket: bought a long time ago at a store down town; Cat eye sunnies: Woolies; Minx watch; stud bracelets from Mr Price; The Body Shop Dreams Unlimited Eu De Parfum</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y1HjHIEtfTA/UgnuLMqsvZI/AAAAAAAACO0/yWtCXN88SNg/s1600/photo+(17).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y1HjHIEtfTA/UgnuLMqsvZI/AAAAAAAACO0/yWtCXN88SNg/s640/photo+(17).JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">just to give you an idea of how the shorts look on.

It's winter, by unwritten fashion rules, all my bright colours should be chucked away. Making way for burgundies, maroons, browns and blacks, but no, not me cousin. The warm weather is also the reason why I don't pile on the dark colours.

Hey you!<br /><br />Last week I took off the 18 inch hair extensions I had for the past two months. This amid the chaos of moving into a new flat. That left me dead tired and broke. I had to run to my emergency savings(which aren't thaaat big a sum) to cover the deposits and moving cost because I hadn't planned to move this month. But an opportunity to move into a unit where I'll be the first occupant, affordable and close to most amenities was one I wasn't gonna miss. Needless to say, I'm so happy I braved out and moved. Surprisingly I didn't have any qualms about leaving the beach community I've been living in for a very long time. In the middle of the whole moving process I took sometime out to fix up my hair. I took out the extensions, washed and treated my relaxed hair which hasn't been relaxed for four months now. The untouched roots are insanely kinked up lol. I'm not sure what I'll do with it though, relax or chop off and go natural again? I don't know. For now this pixie cut weave will do! If you've read diary of a Zulu Girl you will know that this hairdo is a big no-no in the big cities and cool crowds luckily I'm not part of either! lol. My sis took these snaps of me on Sunday :)<br /><br />Till next time :*<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EEHaudG3Mfw/Ud02LLVGsxI/AAAAAAAACLk/3RIfOmF6VAg/s1600/short-hair1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EEHaudG3Mfw/Ud02LLVGsxI/AAAAAAAACLk/3RIfOmF6VAg/s640/short-hair1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-48Ij7I7SlmM/Ud02R5NZZkI/AAAAAAAACLs/PH_3K23K860/s1600/photo+(3).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-48Ij7I7SlmM/Ud02R5NZZkI/AAAAAAAACLs/PH_3K23K860/s640/photo+(3).JPG" width="478" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Orange top: Jet, purple pants(they look blue on camera though) Legit, flatforms: Legit, Gold necklace: Foschini, gold cuff and leopard print belt: Mr Price, and my friend Eric's aviators</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-atrMmcmho04/Ud02VoyBzUI/AAAAAAAACL0/LWCNhk6A3Ds/s1600/photo+(4).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-atrMmcmho04/Ud02VoyBzUI/AAAAAAAACL0/LWCNhk6A3Ds/s640/photo+(4).JPG" width="478" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-252Yv_svUso/Ud02Wo1cu3I/AAAAAAAACL8/2EkqUFOtMSI/s1600/photo+(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-252Yv_svUso/Ud02Wo1cu3I/AAAAAAAACL8/2EkqUFOtMSI/s640/photo+(5).JPG" width="478" /></a></div><br />Zona zahttps://plus.google.com/102092415942181366842noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897552668874521763.post-27751115186327328122013-06-24T02:32:00.000-07:002013-06-24T02:32:17.086-07:00How Bomb!!OH how can I forget baby!!! Posted this on my twitter/bbm/instagram/facebook all over the show, but my blog! Can you believe me?! lol. I was featured on one of my favorite fashion blogs <a href="http://www.fashionbombdaily.com/" target="_blank">The Fashion Bomb Daily</a> on Saturday as the Fashion Bombshell of the day. My friend <a href="http://www.eric-gcscoop.blogspot/" target="_blank">Eric</a> submitted the pics, I'd never put myself on the spot like that, no never not me :D. Must say when he first shared Claire's tweet about the bombshell Zona from SA I wanted to strangle him! How could he, I mean all I see on that site is designer wear, perfectly done makeup, crisp photos the works ! how could I ever match that with my iPhone pics? hehehe but anyways excitement kicked in and fears vamoosed! I'm the second SA based babe to featured there so I'm chuffed. Bet if you follow my blog you will know that the pics used are oldish, but I guess Eric and Claire picked their faves so we can't argue with the greats lol :) From the experience Here a link <a href="http://fashionbombdaily.com/2013/06/21/fashion-bombshell-of-the-day-zona-from-south-africa/#comments" target="_blank">(here)</a>and a screenshot.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bC2lbAgnf_8/UcgPTZQ6ZXI/AAAAAAAACJc/zVaNFitOR4s/s1600/fashionbomshell_zona_from_south_africa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bC2lbAgnf_8/UcgPTZQ6ZXI/AAAAAAAACJc/zVaNFitOR4s/s640/fashionbomshell_zona_from_south_africa.jpg" width="522" /></a></div><br />Zona zahttps://plus.google.com/102092415942181366842noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897552668874521763.post-37198615865355975472013-06-18T04:47:00.001-07:002013-06-18T04:59:23.576-07:00no new trends<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;"><div style="position: relative;"><div class="tease" id="longtext42359b5b" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; max-height: none; max-width: 600px; overflow: hidden; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">Relaxed, laid-back look.

She wore this ravishing red number by Gert Johan-Coetzee at the official announcement last night. </span></h5><div><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}" style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.38;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2nQo1S-z06c/Ubrpr3rjyrI/AAAAAAAACJI/2nlrNH0Aj3k/s1600/Bonang+Matheba,+Revlon+South+Africa+Ambassador+(3).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2nQo1S-z06c/Ubrpr3rjyrI/AAAAAAAACJI/2nlrNH0Aj3k/s640/Bonang+Matheba,+Revlon+South+Africa+Ambassador+(3).JPG" width="426" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">pic from accordingtojerry.blogspot.com</td></tr></tbody></table><div><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}" style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.38;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}" style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.38;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-APK81zi0U64/UbrjXhZw3XI/AAAAAAAACIw/WkzGFnpDLeM/s1600/photo.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="624" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-APK81zi0U64/UbrjXhZw3XI/AAAAAAAACIw/WkzGFnpDLeM/s640/photo.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><div><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}" style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.38;"><br /></span></div><div class="mvm uiStreamAttachments fbMainStreamAttachment" data-ft="{"type":10,"tn":"H"}" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 20px;"><div class="clearfix photoPermaRedesign" style="width: 530px; zoom: 1;"><div class="photoRedesignSquare photoRedesignLink" data-ft="{"type":41,"tn":"E"}" style="border: 0px; float: left; position: relative;"><a ajaxify="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=538760412837479&set=a.399458106767711.87055.343667942346728&type=1&relevant_count=1&ref=nf&src=http%3A%2F%2Fsphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-ak-prn1%2F945526_538760412837479_1872577944_n.jpg&size=610%2C621&source=12" href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=538760412837479&set=a.399458106767711.87055.343667942346728&type=1&relevant_count=1&ref=nf" rel="theater" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-imqwKHqT5Cw/Ubrjzda6D9I/AAAAAAAACI4/jNIv4R2MO_U/s1600/bonang-red-dress-gert-joha-coetzee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-imqwKHqT5Cw/Ubrjzda6D9I/AAAAAAAACI4/jNIv4R2MO_U/s640/bonang-red-dress-gert-joha-coetzee.jpg" width="628" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">pic from instagram</td></tr></tbody></table></a></div></div></div>Zona zahttps://plus.google.com/102092415942181366842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897552668874521763.post-57482506452400311002013-06-06T04:56:00.000-07:002013-06-06T05:24:56.882-07:00Brands and ILast night I had the most bizarre but one of the most enjoyable dreams. In it I was dressed in the most gorgeously embellished Balmain creation. No special occasion, just having tea with a friend. You can imagine my devastation when my alarm went off marking the kick-in of reality. Rather a painful slap back into reality. I had to drag myself up and adorn my not so high end clothes, bleh! The dream is still vivid in my head, if only it would come true. It got me thinking about the realities of the average fashion blogger from a developing (I don't want to say third world) country like South Africa. A similar piece to what I dreamed of costs R118 370(<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/balmain_silver_golden_sequin_embroidered/thing?id=43373800" target="_blank">here</a>).That's a price of a brand new descent car here. The piece is sold out! I've some fashion bloggers who wear Balmain, Balenciaga, Fendi, YSL to mention a few and wonder how they do it! Though I wouldn't call myself a fashion blogger, I know most of the pieces from these fashion power houses by season. I'll be honest I wish I could afford all them but until then, I'd rather stick to my NO brands rule. It's easy to fall in the trap and buy those "Lewis Vitton", Yves "Sant" Lauren and "Guggi", did I mention the maroon bottoms sold as Christian Louboutins? Personally I think there's nothing wrong with loving fashion, but keeping to the stuff one can afford. after all it's really more about style and quality rather than the label. With that said I don't see anything with items inspired by the big guns, but not replica or fake. Below are some examples of these KIRFs(keeping it real fake). Maybe you've won the lottery and want to splurge! :)<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E66HFvy_i0Q/UbB3FtuMwMI/AAAAAAAACIY/nFIrhn3pL88/s1600/balmain-null-autumn-fall-winter-2012-pfw47-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E66HFvy_i0Q/UbB3FtuMwMI/AAAAAAAACIY/nFIrhn3pL88/s640/balmain-null-autumn-fall-winter-2012-pfw47-horz.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The dress I dreamed of is similar to this :D.

Eyeliner and mascara always stains the lenses leaving a cloud-like residue. I realized that after throwing away a lot of lenses that got stained to a point of no repair :( sad sad sad! So I can't wear eyeshadows without eyeliner, that would look weird. I have on my favourite foundation. The dream matte mousse and one my many Ralo Lippis. I use a black Opal brown eyeliner on my brows.
