Lost Kingdoms of Africa...Ashanti Kingdom,Ghana

Split ends:(

Ok ,so i watched Ambrosia's video yesterday and this morning i decided to have a look at my hair because i havent snipped off any hair in a while and MY,I have so many split ends....funny enough I have suddenly developed the fear of losing even a strand of my hair....gosh but i know i have to do it eventually.....sigh...:(
My hair is so dry......Any tips,girls?

Shopping tips for short girls:Clothes

There is always that moment when you spot a very nice dress or trouser or something on a model while online shopping and you have enough money in your account to almost impulsively decide to lose that money and then you get the dress or skirt or whatever it is and then you realise(snap)I didnt check the height of the model....Bear in mind short girls are not really catered for when presenting models in clothes.Almost all the models on websites are over 5.7ft tall and most petite girls are below 5.3ft ....yeah,there is the joke on you(4 inches or more-can you imagine)...they didnt look out for you but they want you to pay for their cloth.
This post is coming out of a recent disappointment I've had with Asos after i forgot to check the height of a model in a very nice skirt that I eyed for a long time.So because of that ,I have decided to give short girls a tip for shopping.
*check the height of the model and compare your height to see if it will work on you.

can you imagine this pencil skirt reaching just a few inches above my ankle?...disgusting

Words of wisdom

There is no growth without change....If you wanna see different results,do something different after you have thought of it and realised it will be good for you the long run....:)
Do something different....you boring cow...lollll(such a good description of myself-it makes me feel better to assume someone is just like me:-P

In my head

I'm still not clear who I wanna be but since I was little,I've wanted to be a woman like this....I just have to make it a reality now and it is taking a while but it shall surely come to pass:)

MUA Nail polish/varnish

One beauty habit of mine is applying nail polish,its one of the only thing beauty-related that i dont find hard to do,mainly because i despise chipped and ugly looking nails....Now,when i think of nail polish,i aim for colours that are very universal and appropriate for church,serious settings as well as casual settings....yeahh(basically what i can wear to every function).

I have tried brands like opi,china glaze,revlon,ciate,nails inc etc but I find that they all chip after a few days and I am quite a domestic person so i usually need ones that will last for a while so i wont need to reapply so frequently. I must say it has taken me a while and now I have discovered MUA cosmetics and I bought one before i went to Holland and it worked to my satisfaction(consistency is on point)

• It doesn't take long to dry
• It doesnt chip
• Very good consistency too

.....I was very pleased so I decided to get more and I did a swatch of another nice colour just a few days ago and wanted to recommend the nail polish for those of you who are interested......MUA nail polishes are the one and the great thing is that it is just a £1!!!

This is the website for those of you who are interested: MUA cosmetics

Avoid Parabens

I've been hearing about parabens for about 6months now and every one seems to think it is a very bad thing....i mean,if it were human,it'd have very few friends...Its an ingredient used in cosmetic and hygiene products to increase the shelf-life for those of you who don't know and it has been banned in some countries not in the UK or the Us and I think they are working on it.The reason I am talking about is that there have been concerns about that ingredient as it has been found to be in cancers of all kinds esp breast and ovarian cancer....I hate to bear bad news but i keep seeing it and it will only be nice of me if i shared it everyone.....Apparently,the less in a product,the better for your health and a lot of videos and websites have addressed and it has resurfaced again so i think this is quite a great debate....so the moral of the story is AVOID PARABENS....
Ps:....they usually appear after words like....methyl(paraben),propyl(paraben)....just take note...It wont kill you to avoid consuming toxic substances.
