I'm still alive

I 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.

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 :)

I ♥ summer tag!

I saw this fun tag on lipgloss kisses and it'd be fun to take part, here goes: 

1. Favourite bronzer for summer?

I don't really need bronzer because my skin is brown bout I use it anyways for the shimmer to give me a nice glow. I love Sleek Face and Body Highlighter in Bronze Baby! love it.

2. You’re relaxing in a hammock, on a tropical island. What are you sipping on?
If not a mango jam jar then definitely a mojito!

3. Favourite summer lip product?
Blistex DCT lip balm. Most people think it's for lip blisters but  I use it because it conditions the lips and protects them from the sun. 

4. Pool or Beach
?Beach. The sea breeze and the sand! 

5. Summer = crazy hair!  What’s your must-have styling product?
Oh boy this is a tough one, I don't even attempt to wear my hair out in summer because it shrinks and looks wet. I get braids done and use Organic Root Stimulator products to keep the scalp healthy and moisturized.

6. Sun bathing or fake tan?
None. for obvious reasons! lol

7. Favourite summer nail polish?
I'm loving gelish nails this summer, white, baby blue and pastel pink. 

8. Any summer traditions?
Not really. It's always a time filled with after work "get togethers" with friends, braais, and days at the beach.

9. Favourite summer scent?

Elizabeth Arden Pretty Eau De Cologne Splash

10. Favourite BBQ/Braai food?
My favourite braai food(s) pork chops, boerewors and a nice and crisp Greek salad.

11. What’s your favourite summer-proof product?
The Body Shop Vitamin C energizing face spritz.

12. Any summer vacation plans this year?
Nope! 

And that's it! I'm tagging you, yes you! :)
