Getting perfectly shaped eye brows


       I have had quite a number of compliments about my eye brows both in person and on social media outlets and since I finally had a little bit of time while getting ready I thought I would film a video while I am at it.
How I do my eyebrows, Getting perfectly shaped eyebrows, eyebrows the perfect shape,

The process of doing my eyebrows is really quick. I use my Christian Semi-Permanent Eye Brow Kit which I reviewed here.

Excuse any nonsense in the video. Yes, I jumble my words a bit when I am filming as I am still not used to it, but we will get there. haha.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! My hands looked extra skinny which was so funny when I watched the video!!! Never actually realized that's how I look doing my eye brows.

Anyway, have fun watching and let me know if you have any video requests.

Thumbs up the video on subscribe to my channel if you like it.

The Friendly Bunch Blog Hop {#12}


       Welcome back from another weekend my lovelies. It's time to share something interesting with you and then we can start blog hopping and meeting more amazing people all over the world. If you would like to know more about this hop, please visit the first post here.

       Today I thought I would share something other than a quote. As summer is very close, we are all changing from all the sweaters and coats and bringing out those skirts and shorts. Have you ever seen an item you like and can't justify the purchase? {been there, done that}

       Well, I though it would be great to show you a way you can redo old shorts or jeans to look very trendy. You can add sequin, lace and other designs just like in the picture. Try it! I will!

       This week I am excited to have another co-host with us. I have known her for quite a while and watched as her blog has grown. She is such a lovely young lady, you will definitely love her. So stop by her blog and say hi.

If you are interested in co-hosting the blog hop, please email me.

Meet the co-host for this week:

Best Sales to shop {Part 2}


       It' getting warmer by the day, and we are beginning to take off the extra layers we were using to keep warm. Some people are even tanning already which gets a lot of us excited. Right now we are either doing the switch to spring/ summer closet or have already done it. But even if we have done it, we still all love to shop. 

       This series of posts is to help my readers shop on a budget. If you are saving the pennies, watch out for these posts as hey will definitely help.

Best sales to shop, daisystreet sale, shopping on a budget

       This week, I chose to share the sale at Daisy Street. I absolutely love the colours of their website. It is professional yet fun which is something I like. Who said professional has to be boring?!
       Their sale is great for getting summer shoes as they have some very nice colours and at great prizes. Who wants to get a pair of shoes for £35 if you can get it for £13?! So if you are looking for a new pair, I suggest you stop by.

Have fun shopping and saving!

I know that they all live in different countries and I do not get to see them, but still I know that they are there and they have my back, and that makes me so happy. It also makes blogging so much more fun. I hope you all know I love every one of you for the support.

Review: Dark and Lovely Corrective Leave-in


       Today I thought I would start off by saying welcome to the new readers who are stopping by my blog for the first time and welcome back to my loyal readers who keep coming back. I am glad you find my blog interesting and I appreciate every one of you {blowing air kisses to all of you}.
      
        Now time to move on to what this post is actually about. Seriously speaking, this review is long overdue because this is my holy grail product for hair care. I have been using it for as long as I can remember; probably the age of 13 or even earlier.

How can I have blogged for over a year and not reviewed this yet? No idea absolutely!

       Now because I am half African, my hair is obviously not straight and it could be a hassle putting it all together into an acceptable hairstyle. This leave-in conditioner is my savior and I use it every single day.
Dark and Lovely Corrective Leave-in Conditioning Therapy, Dark and Lovely Corrective Leave-in, Dark & Lovely Leave-in Conditioner
Dark and Lovely Review, Dark and Lovely Corrective Leave-in Review, Leave in Conditioner review
Dark and lovely Corrective Leave-in product

       The packaging is cute in my opinion. I love the colours which it consists of {it just all goes so well together }. These product comes in the big sized bottles which is the 500ml as I have as well as smaller bottles of 250ml. Yes, it is a big ass bottle and hard to be carried around when travelling but I need this product so much I have absolutely no problem in transferring the amount I need into a smaller bottle.

       The product is pale pink almost white in colour. It helps to remove any tangles which may have formed in your hair, softens your hair and adds moisture which helps to remove dryness. It also helps to prevent split ends. In general it does everything a normal conditioner would. The best thing being that it doesn't have to be washed out which means it has more time to do its work.

       Depending on where you live, this product can range anywhere from €5 to about €19 {including shipping if you have to order off ebay}. Now considering what it does and that it lasts a couple of months {time of use depends on your hair type and how much you use} I do not take it to be expensive as I cannot live without it {but then again that's just me}.

Quick Summary:
Likes: Moisturizes & softens your hair. Helps to remove tangles.
Dislikes: None
Verdict: Repurchasing every time it finishes and always keeping a backup bottle.

Enter the Wild Butterfly Giveaway to win an item of your choice. 3 winners - 1 international & 2 US only.

Have you tried this product or something similar?

       Hi everyone. I hope you have been having a great week. Now it is time to make it even better because you can enter this amazing giveaway. I was contacted by a representative from Wild Butterfly Boutique asking if I would like to host a giveaway and knowing how much you all enjoy them I thought "Ofcourse!".
       Wild Butterfly Boutique is a relatively new online store which sells trendy jewelry. I am sure you have all heard and seen all kinds of different statement necklaces with all the hype around them. Well, personally, I love them! They always make an outfit look so much better and Wild Butterfly Boutique has some nice choices. Shame is that they can be quite pricey so even though I cannot enter this giveaway myself {I totally would if I could}, I am very excited to find out the winners as I am sure they will enjoy it.
