Long vs Short

Hi people!!

The past week I have seen many people with really long nails. I know at times long nails are really pretty and can even be fun but I don't think they are convenient. I mean, when your washing clothes, it's so hard. Your nails end up breaking and then you soon have 6 long nails and 4 short ones. I think we all have to step back and look at the real picture.

If you are the type of lady who does a lot of washing and cleaning on a regular basis, then make sure your nails allow you to go about your work without any issues. I personally don't like long nails because of the amount of dirt that they collect in such a short time. That constant digging under my nails just isn't my way of passing time. I'd rather be playing Angry Birds.


Whether you are a long or short nail lover, one thing we must do is clean our nails and take care of them. Nails need a whole lot of TLC. If you are one who loves to polish your nails, then you know that you need to get them done every once a week. I got my nails done about twice at  the nail bar at Westgate (this was mainly because it dries quickly- I'm not so patient) spending 1,200/= . I realized that every month I would end up spending 2,400/= and about 400/= on fare. I'm not earning a salary so that for me was too much. That is when I decided to do it myself. So every week or two I would buy a bottle of nail polish. Now I have a collection of nail polish and I really don't have to buy any for a quite a while.

Take care of your nails and make sure that you stay in budget.

Yes, I'm still here

Hi my lovely people!!

I am so sorry for the disappearing act. I have been so busy with school and S.A.F.E. it is so sad that I haven't been blogging as much as I wanted to.

Now that it is raining so randomly, I have decided to get my hair braided. Unfortunately for me, my head really doesn't suite cornrows, yet I love them so much. So I'll be looking for a way to funk up braids. Watch this head!! :-D



P.S.
I'll be posting the photos of S.A.F.E soon.

UV tattoos

Hi people!!

I really love buying deals, especially the mocality deals so every day I make sure I visit mocality, rupu and zetu to see what deals are on. Today's deal on mocality are tattoos, and the one that caught my eye, UV tattoos. UV tattoos are tattoos that are only seen under Ultraviolet or black light.

Now, there are some things you need to be aware of before you go out and get a UV tattoo. There have been reported cases whereby people have reacted to the ink causing minor itching or even dermatitis. Some UV inks contain phosphorus which some tattooist consider a health risk and it might not be as invisible as you may think. At times, the scaring from the tattoo will not heal causing it to be "visible".

I would suggest that if you are planning to go get a UV tattoo. Make sure that you weigh out the pros and cons. Also get a little mark done and see how you react before getting a really big one.

NTV vs KTN

Hi people!!

For some time now I been paying a lot of attention to how news anchors dress. I must say, NTV has won!! I love the way that their anchors colour coordinate and that they always, look so professional. As for KTN, they have failed (in my view). A few months back the anchors began to dress in casual clothes over the weekend. During the weekdays, the anchors, especially the women, would wear blouses, that I feel, are not up to par.

I feel that the person presenting the new should dress in a way that viewer will take them seriously. If you are reading the news in a leso dress, I feel like I'm listening to the lady in the market telling me stories of her neighborhood. I am just unable to take you seriously. I know in fashion we tell people to express themselves in the way they dress and stand out, but there are certain places to do this. I mean, you wouldn't go for a corporate cocktail event in shorts, old school sneakers and a baggy sweater.

It is also very important for the stylists to be able to be cautious about the lighting. I feel like this is one thing that they fail to do. The lighting affects how the colours of the garment will appear. Especially if the fabric is of a silk or satin nature (especially for men's ties and pocket squares).

Let us not be so eager to present the news that we are not cautious of what our presenters are wearing.

Online shopping

Hi people!!

I have been looking for a bag, a very uniqu one in a bright green or red, and it is very hard. I got tiered of walking around from shop to shop to look for a bag so I decided to look for one via the internet. I must say, you can find better things via the internet, but there aren't many websites to do online shopping. However, I have found  a few bags from Bagalicious: http://www.bagalicious.co.ke. Which one do you like?

My #1 pick.

Going nude


Hi people!!

For the past few months, I have been splurging a lot on nail polish. I bought a shade of brown that can actually be compared to a nude colour. It's so cool!! :-D Nail polish that blends.
