Sugar Scrub

Hey guys been a while since my last blog!

Well im back with a face and body all natural amazing scrub. Sugar is an all natural exfoliator, cleanses and removes dead skin, Lemon juice one of my fav natural ingredients removes dark spots, brightens the skin and gives you that youthful glow :).

The other oils I used are optional, Jojoba oil is great if you have oily skin and it contains sebum which our skin naturally produces, and Lavender oil smells amazing and leaves the skin feeling soft and nourished.

This sugar scrub can be used for your face, body and lips!
I plan on using this scrub twice a week for 6 weeks. I guess I can call it the sugar scrub challenge, Cant wait to see the end results :) Pics down below

p.s. this cost me nothing to make as all the ingredients were in my house, and I used them all :)

Ingredients down below:

Raw Brown Sugar
Lemon
Jojoba Oil  (optional)
Lavender oil (optional)

Tumeric Facemask

Omg love using my all natural tumeric facemask. Its an ancient facemask used in India the night before a bride's big day!
Im going to share the ingredients and benefits with you all :).

Benefits: Brightens the face, evens out the skintone, gets rid of acne, removes scars, softness and gives you that youthful feel.

Ingredients: tumeric powder (can be found in supermarket), milk, lemon juice, honey.

How to make: Put two table spoons of tumeric powder in a bowl, add 3 table spoons of lemon juice, add 2 table spoons of milk, add 1 table spoon of honey.
                            Then mix well until the mix is a paste, then apply on face. Leave on your face until the paste is completely dry (10-15 mins).

Tips:  You can add gram flour to thicken the mask.
            Tumeric can be messy and stains so wear an old t-shirt or nothing at all :)

I used this mask 3 times a week for 2 weeks right after my summer holidays, my face was in need of some beauty therapy and I could see a great difference after the 3rd use.

My Box Braids Experience

Hey guys, as promised Im going to blog about my box braids :).

For the past year I have been so desperate to have box braids done. So finally on 16/03/13 I decided it was time for me to take the plunge and I got them done (cheap enough price too!). I had my braids in for a total of 6 weeks 6 days.

I must say my experience overall was not as pleasant as I taught it would be!

Firstly the braids were super heavy, gave me a constant headache, and taking them off was such a relief.

Secondly I was soo busy with college I didn't really get to do much styles with them which was a bummer, because that was one of the reasons why I got them in, in the first place. Nonetheless I absolutely loved the way they looked on me :), It was different and yet unique, low manipulative, and easy to style and take care of. I was free from washing my hair and conditioning numerous times, moisturizing my hair numerous times and also pulling out my hair! ( lol I wont like I pulled out the ones at the front, you'll see from the pics below ).

Over all I don't think I will be doing such heavy box braids for a while!

This is basically how I wore my braids throughout the 6 weeks, the sides tied up :) 

Here I was bored what can I say ?? lool

Here is what my lil sis did to my braids for a Fashion Show

One thing I most definitely regretted was pulling the braids at the front out :( 

  

Well that about does it for my experience with braids, hope you enjoyed reading :) FOLLOW THIS BLOG

Yay got my first blog question

Question: hey id Jane here..i wanna get advice of ya!...well im considering being a college drop-out. im the 1st in my family to get to uni, worked hard and have options but like i dont know do i want to be a scientist, or anything to do with it like enginnering anymore....ive a love and flare for business. i recently started working for this company and have alot of career prospects there, that by less then a year i could become assistant manager.....should i go for this love or stick to what i started with and slugg through a 4 year degree programme??.....what you think

Answer: Hey Jane, thanks for contacting me. Honestly Im gonna give it to you straight.

I personally don't think you should drop out of College, as you said you are the first in your family to get into a university, and that's an excellent achievement. If you are unssure if you want to do a course, I personally think it might not be the coarse for you, your only unsure for a reason right ??.

You say you have a flare for business why not do a business related degree ?. Well done in achieving a job in this economy, however not all jobs last for ever, as you know people with degrees in their professions are being let go, so you shouldn't think because you got a job for a company your going to be there for ever.
Dont get me wrong you could progress well in this company and become really successful, but then again in the next ten years the owner of the company could shut it down, who knows what the future holds!!!!

Fortunately for you, Yiour given the chance of education a chance for a better future, a chance to make this world a better place. Cheesy ? I know... however its the truth, whether you achieve a diploma, fetac, degree, or p.h.d, you are allowing yourself to become better for your future and those around you.

Education is the most important thing in society today, and I believe it should not be taken for granted. We live in a country in which our education is so great we can achieve a career in any country.

Taking all this into perspective my answer is NO. I dont think you should drop out of college as we all know most college drop outs dont go back and regret it later on in life.

Im not telling you to do a coarse you hate, but simply telling you to stay in college doing a coarse you enjoy and hope for the best..

GoodLuck...x
