INSTA ROUND UP

Hey, whatsup, hello!

Vac is over for little old me and I really have no idea where the time went! My final year of school is nearly over and I really still can't believe this is my last term of school- EVER (yassss). This vac was taken as my final break to sleep and relax because realistically, there will be zero chill up until late November in terms of academia. I filled up my time with series (do yourself a favour and watch Power, you'll thank me later), sleep, great food and every now and again when the weather permitted seeing some friends and family (sidenote: I also got my brows threaded for the first time! #youcare)

I've been (trying to) make my insta look visually appealing and in-line with the content that you will be seeing on my blog and I think I'm finally (after like 3 years, lol) getting a hang of this Instagram thing. I'm the first to admit that I'm probably too OCD with my whole insta aesthetic but whatever, lol! So anyways, my vac pics are all in-line with that so I wanted to share a few of my insta vac snaps with you all!

BEAUTY: HAIR DIARIES

So a few weeks back I decided to venture into the unknown world (well, to me) of coloured braids. Now I know you're probably thinking "WHATS THE BIG DEAL YO?" but actually to me my hair is actually a huge deal, lol. I have always loved experimenting with my hair in terms of different styles with my braids and natural hair. I've cut fringes, done super long braids, corn-rows, you name it. But I have always been so scared to try colour for the fear of looking strange and having to live with it for a whole month!

The other day when I decided to go fiber shopping with the lady who does my hair, I came across this colour and she launched me into trying it. Now, the hair shop was fairly dark and so the fibre looked about 3 shades darker in the shop, but as she was braiding I saw that the colour was MUCH lighter than I anticipated. I decided to embrace the colour and pray it looked good, and yaaaaaaas *victory lap* it does! Since I put it on a lot of my female followers on Facebook and IG have dm'ed me and asked me about it so I decided to do a young photo-shoot and show you all how it really looks (without the filters). These are just regular single twists and are so great for protecting your natural hair in winter. I would SO recommend anyone who is feeling iffy about if they should try colour or anything new with their hair to just go for it (especially my ethnic ladies). It really is just hair.

Hey hey!

NP: Do It Again - Pia Mia ft Tyga and Chris Brown

I hope you're all good. Vac has been great so far, with all the extra time to sleep, blog, workout, (work) and most importantly catch up on some series! I have a talent in binge watching series that I probably shouldn't be too proud of but I swear it keeps me sane, (LOL). I am dying to get out but alas, Cape Town weather won't let your girl flourish (sad-crying-face emoji).

When it comes to winter I have very mixed feels. On the one hand I am super into the warmer clothing, darker make-up and the 'warmer' hairstyles (i.e fuller hair) and on the other hand I'm not so into the gloomy weather that keeps my already loner-esque self indoors all-the-time. This year in little old Cape Town, we are getting winter with little snippets of summer in between which is always great because you know how ya girl loves her tube skirts!
