speed dial #2: lip-maintainance

yes yes yes...it is the colourful beauty season.

for this post i did a very daring thing

i actuali went out to source various lipcolours from various beauty-houses just to give a comprehensive cover on this topic. *watch this space for what Black-Up has on offer*

i've been following a  lot of what
@NthatoMashishi has been advising us on some of his amazing beauty tips.

and you know something...they actually work!!!

we use lipsticks and lipglosses daily - how about we take a bit of extra care of our lips.

the best advise i've received thus far is lipexfoliating - yep, and the beauty of it, excuse the pun, it can be done with what you have right at home. Just use your normal facial exfoliator and exfoliate those lips. it might sound a bit dodgy but it works wonders. you know when your lips feel a bit sandy - right, exactly that - no more sandy lips if you do this little trick.

Anyway below are a few shades belonging to the  family of 'red'.
I managed to pull a friend's leg to help me show you exactly what i mean when i shout
YaY to Lipsticks
 Thank you YS - much appreciated :)

COLOUR-UP THOSE LIPS FASHIONISTAS

The HashTagGen #CTEW ---> Let's!!!

I've neglected this space for quite a while now

it kinda explains the space i've been in of late

the busy cluttered one that i've found myself laying in

mid 20's crisis is what they call it, i think

trying to find answers to questions i'm unclear of

but that being said..i'm back with a "Let's" attitude.

This past weekend has been amazing

from career inspiration right down to musical appreciation.

met quite a few amazing individuals as well.

i've learned so much and i am more than fired up to "Let's" again.

so, here's a bit of info i've managed to collect from the Cape Town Entrepeneurship Week.

"love what you do and do what you love" - this line might ring a bell to some music lovers right?!?

Absolutely no need to be in a rut and depress yourself day in day out

Find that passion, Get that drive and just "Let's"

Step one: Think It

Step two: Write It

Step three: Do It

Step always: Time it

"Without order, planning, predictability, accountancy, obedience, discipline - without these, nothing fruitful can happen, because everything disintergrates.

And yet, without the magnanimity of disorder, happy abandon, the entrepneurship of venturing into the unknown and incalculable, without the risk and the gamble, the creative imagination rushing in where bureaucratic angels fear to tread - without this, life is a mockery and a disgrace."

EF Schumacher: 'Small is Beautiful'

Anyway, that's my Monday two cents worth!!!

Take note of how aaaaaaaaaaall the pants (except the red ones) sit just above the ankles, just to show-off the shoe

Guys you better get on with it

This is how we ladies like it

*wink*

all S P A C E D out...

I'm looking at the new trend of this whole GALAXY invasion and im thinking to myself, do i like it???

 I think I kinda do *smiles*

Obviously not wearing it aaaall all at once...putting on one item is PERFECTLY fine...chose between a top, dress, skirt, sneaker or something as simple as nail art.

WARNING: not everything together please now ladies, that's a screaming NO NO - be careful of being mistaken for an alien that just landed from SATURN.

Anyway I don't know, have a look and decide for yourselves whether it's a YaY or a NaY...

Njoy

Floral Love...

All I keep seeing around me is FLORAL FLORAL and more FLORAL

Tights, blazers, tops, bags you name it.

For me what is a definate must have are the FLORAL or PRINT SANDALS/WEDGES ... you can never go wrong with adding a bit of flower to your feet...at least with shoes there's minimal chance of you being followed by a bee rather than from putting on a floral top or blazer.lol *just a random thought*

Below are some of the floral sandals I found and which caught my eye...some of these are found locally from ZOOM & RAGE retail outlets ..and they are all reasonably priced from R289 to R499 - aint too bad right!?!

I'm definately getting myself a pair no doubt J

KEEP YOUR TOES SPRINGING  LADIES!!!
