So excited to add some new ‘going-out’ dresses to my collection from Femme Luxe! As I am on the shorter side of the spectrum (lol) and petite I really appreciate bodycon dresses that help to make you look more defined and suit your height. This is why I chose the below 2 dresses, they both have a ruffle look to them which helps to create even more curves! I’m a sucker for always wearing black, white and grey so I pushed myself to go for some new colours this time and I’m in love with this wine ruched midi bodycon classic dress. Now this nude square neck ruched bodycon dress is my top pick of ..read more

It’s been a while but I have another Femme Luxe package to share with you! So excited to see they have a much larger selection of loungewear which makes perfect sense during this time of lockdown. Check out my top picks starting of for the month of May (also my birthday month!). Pretty in pink - Loungewear set LOVE LOVE LOVE! Now pink is a great colour on me but I never usually find casual wear in the form of a cute 2 piece or tracksuit in this shade, when I saw this I HAD to try! I love that the t-shirt is V neck and the trousers are fitted so it’s still quite feminine. 2. White Tee Su ..read more

Alcohol is used in many haircare products and there has been a constant debate into whether it is good or bad for your curls. What’s the truth? Well it’s kind of complicated because there are good alcohols and bad alcohols, I’ve listed some below so you can have a better idea of what to look out for. (Do not panic or obsess over this, if you use them it’s not the end of the world but I would be more weary when you have damaged hair that you want to transform.). Good Alcohols: Keeps oils together and creates the products consistency. Cetyl alcohol Stearyl alcohol Myristyl al ..read more

I think frizz is sometimes a good thing that we shouldn’t always fight against, however I know it is a huge pet peeve to many.. What causes it? It’s basically due to dryness, when the cuticle layer of your hair is raised (because it is reaching out for moisture!), moisture then passes through the strands instead of holding on and moisturising them to result in defined and smooth hair.  Ways To Prevent Frizzy Curls:   1. Finger Detangle This is the best way to detangle your curls as your fingers are softer than a comb or brush.  ..read more

So before we really get into the growth boosting side of things, let’s talk about the things you shouldn’t be doing if you want a good chance of witnessing growth this year.  Ways to stunt growth: 1. Using heat tools & chemical straighteners. 2. Bad diet.  3. Drying ingredients in your hair products. All of the above habits will make it harder for your hair to flourish. Every time you use heat you are most likely causing your curls damage which builds up over time (seen those curls that are starting to look straight?). Now drying ingredients can be found in a lot of hair produ ..read more

So curl definition! Don’t get it twisted, I’m all for natural “un-defined” curls but their are times when we just want our hair to look “uniformed”. After years of fighting dryness and frizz, I finally found my perfect steps to definition, that work EVERY-TIME, (and bare in mind, my hair is so thick, so if I can get it, you 100% can too!). Step 1: Let’s start this scenario off with you on wash day (the struggle is real) but you’re excited because it’s about to be the best one you’ve ever had ?. So you’ve cleansed, rinsed, conditioned, rinsed, deep conditioned and rins ..read more

Welcome to my August FemmeLuxe HAUL! Is there ever a month when I don’t receive some real gems for my closet from them? NOPE. Check out what outfits I managed to put together from my choices. Grey Ripped Jeans I’m loving the current jean collection from femme luxe! These do come up a bit tight, I bought a 10 but probably should have got a 12 for more comfort.

Am I “CG Friendly” good news if you are reading this blog post you’ll get to find out straight away that I am NOT following the curly girl method! Shock, horror? Maybe! I have nothing against the actual “Curly Girl Method” itself, it just didn’t work for me. My goal is to share with other curlies that it is ok for you to not follow this method if you find it isn’t working for you. No one should blame or shame you for this as long as you are not drastically damaging your hair you will be fine! So what is “CG Friendly”? Here is the actual definition of this hair care method: The Curly Girl Metho ..read more
