SUMMER REFRESHER// Beauty, Wellness,

TIME FOR A REFRESHER

Its been awhile since we had our haircut, manicures or pedicures. I am thinking its definitely time , I would love a nice spa day and finally a haircut. Plus its time to refresh the makeup supplies. Something I haven't been using much during the Covid times.

Lets Make-up

I admit I have gotten out of the habit to wearing much makeup, especially when staying at home. Meanwhile I think it is time to get back into the habit of at least wearing some lipstick , perhaps some bronzer for colour . Basically it has been au-naturalle.

Nowadays there is a big push towards organic or natural, and seeing so many products that use that word on the products made me wonder , how can we be sure that it is? So I found an interesting report on the ingredients in the products we use from shampoos to cosmetics. Especially the ones we should avoid. The names of them are definitely not easy to say or remember, but important to know if you are buying cosmetics or any other personal products.

Here is the report via healthline, written by medical professionals https://www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care-cosmetics#prohibited-ingredients

OH MY NAILS

There is nothing nicer than a good manicure and pedicure. I think many of us negligent our feet . We cram are toes into shoes that are to tight or pinching . We wear heels that are not good for our feet. Poor feet.

So of course it is important to take care of them too, like we do with the rest of our body. A decent pedicure is worth it, and now with the summer sandals its the right time to get one!

Enjoy your summer everyone!

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder!
