Be Different, Be You

'The Lord is my sheperd I shall not want' Ps 23:1


Oh what a week! Had a lot to do, shopping, meeting up with friends ooops where are my manners? Sorry dearies how are you doing? Hope you had a nice week? Well it was officially spring on the 20th but aint seen no spring yet lolll instead its snowing, I mean where is this snow from especially in March at this rate we would have a white Easter oh well since we didnt have a white Christmas. We cant complain as long as we are comfortably dressed for it or should I say warmingly lol.


Dare to be different from anyone else, do your own thing, be you dont compare yourself with someone else, Make plans and stick to it, live your dreams yes there would be distractions and challenges but dont worry God always makes a way where there seems to be no way and He still answers prayers.

Life is a risk so is fashion too,  yes its got its rules but sometimes rules are meant to be broken especially when it has to do with your own personal style. Mixed prints has come to stay in the fashion world and its gives room to style it the way you want especially mixing different prints one feels comfortable with, I decided to pair a stripe top with floral pants believe I had to try this outfit in my room first before I had the courage to wear it to church today loll. Hope you like the pics.

Trending: Pointed shoes






My dearies, hope you are doing great and your week isnt too stressfull. Yes its the start of a weekend, a time to relax and unwind after a long week.








Pointed shoes is one of the trends of 2013 in the fashion world if you are looking to take a fashionable step into spring, let your shoes lead the way sleek, sophisticated and ladylike, the pointy-toe shoe is coming back strong, pushing several seasons’ worth of chunky platforms toward the back of the closet.







Pointed shoes, which are among the Spring/ Summer 2013 shoe trends, are sexy and stylish. They make a woman’s foot look feminine and small, and they are perfect to complete any elegant and sophisticated look. 




Some pointed shoes come with metallic toes which have also returned to fashion. Such shoes are also interesting. Besides, they are hugely practical since toes are the first things we tend to destroy when wearing shoes.





Have a lovely day everyone

Makeup Wednesday: How To Clean Make-Up Brushes

Hey beauties hope your week is going great, here is our makeup tip for this week.

Makeup Brushes  are the perfect way to achieve that sought after professional finish to your beauty routine. Your make-up is only as good as the brushes you're using, and when it comes to choosing the perfect set of make-up  brushes. While they all do the same job, there's a lot of difference their bristles, their quality and ultimately the results they can give.


And as you have to use make-up  brushes every day, they are definitely worth investing in and also it is essential that one takes care of them too.


















How often should you wash your make-up brushes?
It's important to wash your make-up brushes regularly as they harbour dirt and bacteria that can cause spots. I recommend washing them every week.


Cleaning make-up brushes can be done in two ways: you can use an instant brush cleanser for a quick cleanse, or if you want to give them a really thorough clean, wash them with shampoo and leave to dry overnight.


Make sure that you don't get any water on the handle or the ferrule of the brush (the ferrule is the part that holds the brush fibres to the handle) - this will damage the brush fibres and make your brush moult.


Pour some cleanser into a ramekin or petri dish and dip each brush gently into the solution.


Alternatively, put some mild shampoo or washing up liquid in the palm of your hand, and swirl the brush into it. Then rinse clean under running water. I like to give big powder brushes a quick condition after shampooing, to leave them really soft, but you don't need to do this for all your brushes.




Cleaning make-up brushes


Gently swirl the brush onto a clean tea towel or hand towel to wipe off excess water. Whilst the brush is damp, reshape it and place it to dry on the edge of a table.

Stepping Up

'For with God nothing shall be impossible' Luke 1:37






Hello my beautiful lovelies, my week and weekend was great hope yours was too, hope you had fun at work or at play lolll, am so sorry for blogging just one outfit for the week, I promise this will change very soon got so much on my plate now cos we are in the middle of a move which can be very tiresome and challenging too, don't get me wrong I am really excited about it because I believe the move will open doors and more opportunities for my Deltan King and Princesses.

Change they say is the only constant thing in life, one is created for a purpose and for a reason therefore we have to find our purpose here on earth and make sure we fulfil it too. Step up your game, what gifts do you have? what is your talents my lovelies step it up do something for yourself, dont remain in one place if you have to relocate to step up then by all means do so, keep moving and don't stop.

Trending: Neon


Hello lovelies, 
 
One of the prettiest fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2013 is a block of neon colours that can be used to brighten up your wardrobe - whether you want to add a fresh accent to your monochrome pieces, or even introduce a new  colour into your work or casual wardrobe.

Whether you opt for accessories or neon clothes, statement tones are a great way to freshen up your look for summer.

 

 



 
And while it's easy to associate "neon" with extremely bold and bright shades, the effects here are definitely softer than you might expect. Sheer neons, or knits with subtle neon accents, or dresses with only one bold neon accent - we have a real variety to choose from this season.







If you work in an office, keep the neon to a minimum - a new neon tank will look great underneath a tailored jacket, or how a casual neon-print soft knit paired with elegant trousers? If you are already enjoying the monochrome trend, a muted neon cardigan or boucle jacket with neon trim will add depth (and a new look) to those existing pieces. For your casual wear, you can be as bold as you like - colour block with neon, or go solid with an orange top, skinny jeans and ankle boots. Check out the variety below:
