"You're really pretty for a dark skinned girl"  Firstly, 'that' does not in any way fit as a compliment! Hi lovelies,  So, I finally made my first official outing since my surgery and honestly it did feel good. I was making my usual rounds at the Mall - checking if Mango finally has a Jean my size (that's a story for another day). This young man stopped me and heaven knows he is was handsome. The first thing this fellow told me was that, I was too pretty for a dark skinned girl. I mean, no one will...

Hi lovelies! So, I'm back from my little 'break'  ( read all about it here). First and foremost, I've come to understand my skin type and how extremely prone I am to breakouts, so, I try to keep everything 'clean' and as simple as I can. I'm no makeup guru I do have products I absolutely love, but, I'm not a girl with an overflowing makeup drawer ( sometimes I wish I had one). MY EVERY-DAY MAKEUP ESSENTIALS 1. Milani 'Runway Lashes' Volume Mascara Drugstore for the win! I absolutely love this mascara and how it enhances every...

Hi lovelies. Happy holidays! So, this post is in response to my 10+ unanswered emails (I love you guys!)  So, after my last post went live (if you haven't read it, please do - Here), I was admitted in the hospital in preparation for my Thyroidectomy. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism ( and boy was it toxic) in 2011 and I've been on meds since then - to 'lower' the level of hormones my thyroid gland was secreting. I had all the symptoms you could ever think of, Heart Palpitations, tremors, insomnia... Rewind... April 11th  The Doctor checked...

I think we all have those moments when we eye items from online stores and we just add to the basket, close the window and continue some other time, because we just can't afford them yet. Well, I do.

Then I realised I had so many items in carts, across various online stores!! Hi lovelies! These are some of the  items in my current 'save-for-later-whenever-i'm-ready-to-treat-myself' list. Oh...

Don't worry, the bucket and mop isn't included. Hi loves! Happy Monday! Why do i feel like the weekend lasted only 5 minutes? For Lovers of everything Jumpsuit and career inspired fashion, like me, the utility fashion trend is not new at all. This is used for creating a statement in the most practical, masculine and maybe the most cumbersome piece of clothing. On the SS17 runway, Designers like Kenzo and burberry gave us inspired versions from various shades of khaki making this trend appear very tricky to pull off, which is far from the truth. This look...
