Knowing you bra size

Hi people!!

So today, I want to make sure you all know how to measure your bra size!! No more guessing. To be able to look good, you have to have the right support. When shopping for a bra, you will note that bras are sized using numbers and alphabets. The number represents the band size and the alphabet represent the cup size. Knowing your bra size is not as hard as many of us make it out to be. Before you get started, there are a few things that you should take note of:

• Avoid wearing a bra. If you are going to wear a bra, wear one that does not have an under wire and that has no padding.
• Get a someone to help you. When you want to get accurate measurements, it is always advisable to get someone to help you. When doing it yourself, you are more prone to errors.
• Stand in your most natural and comfortable posture. If you do not do this, you are likely to get the wrong measurement.

How to do it:

1. Using a tape measure, measure (in inches) round your rib cage right under your bust. Ensure that the tape measure is level at the back and the front. Add 5" to your measurement. That is, if you measured 29", after adding 5", you will get 34".
2. Measure around the fullest part of your bust loosely. Ensure that the tape measure is level at the front and back. Subtract your band size from this measurement. For example 37"-34"=3". The difference is your cup size. How you may ask? if the difference is  0-1"= A cup; 2"= B cup; 3"= C cup; 4"= D cup; 5"= DD cup

Yes ladies, it is that easy. No more bad fitting bras. Get yourself that right fit. 

Have a lovely week!!

Predicting the weather

Hello everyone!

Today was a funny day. I was going to school and called a friend before I left the house. She tells me that it's raining so I decide to carry a rain coat, gumboot and a sweater. I regretted this decision because the weather was hot!! I have never been able to predict the weather and this is becomes a real problem for me. I at time wear light clothes for it to be so cold or I wear very warm clothes and then it's super hot. So I used my brains.

Instead of getting caught off guard wearing clothes that just aint working for the weather, wear clothes that suite any weather. I usually wear a top that is good for warm weather and carry a light weight sweater that can keep me warm if the weather changes and can fit in your bag. I also like to carry a leso with me at all times. In cold weather, you can wear it as a scarf or a shawl.

As for the shoes, I bought a pair of leopard print gumboot from Bata that I love. However, sometime it doesn't rain and I end up wearing them in the sun. But, there are shoes that I love even more then my gumboots, my old school sleakers!! :-) I love them. They are great in any weather. Now, if you're the type that loves to give your self a height boost, a good, comfortable pair of wedges is the best way to go. they won't get your feet wet (assuming the water level is low).

With these tips, your sure to look good no matter the weather. No sundresses in the rain. :-)

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Song of the week

I know this has nothing to do with fashion...actually... :-) it does. Beyonce's style evolution. I'm just so bright!! Back to the point... I started exams yesterday and this is the song that has kept me going. The lyrics are so powerful. I hope you all enjoy it as much as me.

EXAMS!!!

Hi people!!

It is the time again...exam time. This time round, I like the fact that I haven't pilled my work until the last minute and yet, I have a lot of work!! There is a unit where we are making half scale garments. The lecturer required us to do a two piece garment with a sleeve and a collar. I'm going to be doing an all white outfit. Hope I get an A!!!

WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE?

This past weekend was Safari 7s weekend!! I had a great time supporting Kenya, even though we didn't win the tournament. I'm still very proud of our 7's team. However, what caught my eye(and I believe the eye of every one else on Saturday) were some girls who do promotional work. They caught my eye because these girls were wearing bikinis!! Yes, bikinis at a rugby tournament. I do realize that they were being paid to promote a product(which I, up to now, have no idea what they were promoting), but I wonder, is it really worth it?

I know that everywhere in the world there are prominent people and celebrities who are paid to wear certain things like clothes, jewelry, shoes and even to drive certain cars, but where do you draw the line? Well, I think that the people paying those girls to dress in bikinis did get the attention of the crowd, but they forgot one thing, to promote the product. All we saw were girls in bikinis, but what were they trying to promote?

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.
