Fragrance wishlist

If money were no obstacle, what fragrance would you buy for yourself? I like to image that by the time the average woman has transitioned from student life to working adult, she has already compiled a list of her first designer bags, shoes and accessories to purchase with that first paycheck, after black tax of course. I generally don’t have a problem with affordable perfumes being an avon babes myself but ever since I received a fake Carolina Herrera as a gift, I’ve kind of become obessesed with window shopping for designer fragrances in case it happens again or an opportunity to purchase something presents itself.

Hello, its me. . .again

I hate to be one of those bloggers who go MIA for months at a time and come back willy nilly, but all I can do right now is acknowledge it an apologise. I’ve been trash at this blogging thing and I feel bad because you all deserve better. The previous semester truly broke me and it’s still too much of a tender wound to offer as an explanation and share, just yet.

Outfit Fail

A fashion fave of mine said silver is back in this spring and as an owner of a nice pair of shiny platform heels, I fully endorse this vendetta. I’ve wanted to have another go at styling these shoes since my boring eventing outfit but you know how you plan the perfect out in your head and then see it in the mirror and its like, . . . no. *sigh, thats exactly what happened when I thought I could just throw on pair of embroidered jeans, fish net stockings, and some silver platform heels and call it a day. I tried something and it didn't turn out as great as thought it would and thats been happening a lot lately. I've been in a fashion funk for over a year now an somethings got to give. WTF?! 

Yardley Stayfast Foundation Review

I've been using theYardley London Stayfast 24hour Foundation for a while now and have made review that does not share the sentiments of most people who have fallen in love with the product.

I don't mind that its thick but I find it a tad challenging to blend in and it tends to gather on my fine lines and make m pores and piples much more pronounced and brings much attention to them. I disagree with it 24 hour lasting claim and wearing high coverage foundation tends to cause it to get very cake. I gave this foundation a 7/10  score based soley on its own claims and price points however, I will not be purchasing it again. Watch the video below for more info.

Ladylike Strides

heeey ashy slaaaay. . . .sobs

I'm someone who strongly believes that clothing carry and transmit other peoples troubles and bad mojo and am against wearing someone else's clothing. . .not that there was ever an opportunity to do so anyways because there just that aren't enough plus size women of my age in my life. However, when one of my ex flatmates rocked up at my place wearing the perfect Camo Jacket I wanted for a look in a post called green with envy, I threw caution to the wind and harassed her for it.

I keep the empties

I imagine that anybody who has seen as many marraiges, families, friends and peers perish to alcoholism as I have would naturally develop a personal level of disdain towards the substance. I never thought I'd be writing about liquor, let alone end up actually liking wines but here I am, full glass in hand on a saturday night. How did it come to this? 

Rediscovering Port St Johns : The Wild Coast Jewel

My home can’t possibly be where my heart is, when i was 18 i ripped it ou of my chest and trew it into the indian ocean and unfortunately, I am no mam’lambo. Between the places my parents have rented and raised me in for the past 21 years and some change, my fathers paternal home in Lusikisiki where I’ve always felt out of place because of the ‘town kid’ priviledge treatment and my mothers maternal home in Tombo which I can’t really call home because my father wouldn’t be impressed, home is still a concept I haven’t quite mastered yet. I’ve always imagined myself buying myself a property somewhere around Port St Johns, putting my name on that title deed and waking up to the crowing of my chickens in the Hok every morning. How that’s going to happen with a Biochemistry oriented career is beyond me.
