My 'Fro Fancy

 Aaaahhhh look at that!! *googly eyes* .... Soooo I have a not so secret obsession with afros. Yes, I love all things natural hair and well, why wouldn't I? It's beautiful.

From the earliest of times African women have worn it in various creative ways, woven, twisted and braided in styles that always seemed to make a statement very hard to miss







 The Afro... timeless! love it, love it, loooove ittt!!!





 The headwrap is something black women have wound around their hair since centuries ago. I like how it sits on our heads like a crown. It's a style that can be made to suit any occasion



 But what I admire the most is how our mothers care(d) and groom(ed) for our hair. I feel like it is upto the parents to teach their daughters how to love their hair and care for it and make them know it's a very special and beautiful feature




















Wouldn't it have been something if we had had black barbies right from the beginning?  In different shades of black and with different hair textures.


 Seeing little natural haired kids just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside... it really does.




So much creativity flows through us so that even with all our similarities we still manage to have our own separate and unique identities



 And it should be known that:

 And I wear it with pride! head wraps, afros and all





 And with all the different hair types, colors and textures of natural hair I cannot get enough of it. So I guess I have no option but to continue to obsess over it


 So there you have it... My 'fro fancy

D.I.Y.: Vest to Bodysuit

Hey! It's been a minute.... yes, a really long minute 🙈 I know. But I'm back!! Woop woop. The festive season is upon us and we all want to look good because why not?? So I'm here to help y'all look good on a budget so you can have enough money left over to go out and celebrate.... you're welcome, you know I gatchu *insert high five here*. So, last year I had written an article on thrifting, or salaula if you may, on the Trendition-Z page, follow the link >  HERE  < . I gave a few tips on how to go about it so you will definitely find it useful. (Read it!!) A while ago, I happened to find myself in DAPP because they had clothes going at K8... K8!!! How could I walk past that?? So I got the vest and knit sweater in the thumbnail picture above for K8 each and felt pretty good about my purchase. Problem is, the vest was way too long as you see above. Ended up looking like a really short dress so it was idly sitting in the closet until I got a light bulb m...

Death's Selective Mourners

Hey y'all.... so yesterday the 4th of April there was a bus accident in which it is reported about 6 people died. Tragic. Especially for the families of the deceased. But... all over social media I only kept seeing condolences to one family. The one whose daughter was a bride to be. Of course absolutely nothing wrong with issuing out condolences. Only problem is this tendency to only feel remorse for and talk about the "celebrity". I'll explain. If there are 2 or 3 people in a vehicle and of those people one of them happens to be a famous person and then an accident occurs, the only person or person's family that will receive tons of love, remorse and have posts of condolences sent their way is that of the famous person. And this really bothers me because do the lives of the other victims not matter and go unnoticed because they were unknowns? No. Every life matters and cannot be measured or valued by one's level of popularity or wealth. So back to yes...

Look for Less with DIY

So.... I'm into arts and crafts, DIY... anything I can do by myself I don't like to spend money on. From changing a light bulb to fixing a plug or socket to hammering something together, fixing a door handle, painting, braiding my hair all the way to the clothes I wear. I prefer to do things on my own from the phrase/saying: "If you want something done right do it yourself"  That's my motto. I prefer to be self sufficient and encourage others to do the same because there is nothing I hate more than having to be stranded and depend on someone else to come through only to disappoint me.  But don't get me wrong, where I'm unable to, I'm quick to ask for help. So school was forcibly/prematurely closed so i've been bored outta my mind.  But then I thought "hmm i like clothes. Why don't I get a little creative to pass the time" and got to it. Yesterday I came up with this little number Made the crop top out of a p...
