Starting On A Floral Note

 Happy New Year guys!I know it is old now but it has been a minute since I posted anything. How has been your holiday?Was it as awesome as mine?Well I do hope you guys enjoyed it as I did. I managed to go home for the Christmas festivities and made it back in time for the NYE ones. Great to be back!


Now for the downers:

1. Weight Gain:
I piled a few pounds before I even left for the festivities. I am at a size 14 and it has taken a lot of time to accept that my weight is up despite not wanting it to. My size has always been between 10 and 12. My body has a way of gaining and losing weight at a high rate so I am just waiting for it to go down since my metabolism has been very high for some months now. My crimes mainly have been eating a lot and usually at the wrong times and taking minimal water i.e. when I am thirsty. Well, as of now loose fitting clothes will do.Don't want to pop out buttons in the middle of the streets or show the ass crack. Haha! I would die of embarrassment.



2. Hair Issues
The next disappointment was that I thought I had dealt with the dandruff issue but no the stupid bacteria is more active than ever! I thought Dax with lanolin will do the trick but nothing. It only gives me shine and more dandruff. I had bought henna to do treatment but wasn't able to coz of time constraint. Maybe this is my last solution coz my research tells me henna makes hair stronger and deals with scalp issues like dandruff. Well I bought Ballet Lavender Hair Oil from Bestlady in town some days ago to try and see if maybe it is the hair food that is making this bacteria be adamant.



It smells very good by the way. Just hope it will work. They also had a hair tonic.

I did try food coloring my hair though! Yeah you can do it! My mum has been doing it for sometime now. I put maroon color but I only got some highlights coz I put it for a shorter time. The color can only be seen when light shines on my hair. Well I guess I will try it again when I have a full free day but I don't think soon coz it's so messy!


Anyway enough of this negative talk. Here's what I wore today.

 

  I am in love with this sheer floral kaftan especially the hoodie and pockets.

I stumbled on this nameless lipstick (that smells oh so good!) in maroon from a hawker on River Road at Kshs.50. It's actually what I have on today. I have not been a fan of lipstick but this one changed my mind. I actually bought two but my boo boo Mitchel took the other one which was in deep red.

 So I am hoping that you will visit my facebook page on Monday for the new sale. Have a fabulous weekend guys.
