So I was watching this fashion show on fashion tv. Naturally I am a very good at observing body language.
Most of this people are supposed to be the whose who of fashion at least in that region. Now I look at the way they are dressed and the way each person is reacting to their neighbours manner of dressing. My conclusion of it all :- we are all crazy people.
It made me think back to one of Guliana Ransik's appearance as a host on a beauty pageant. She had designed a dress and was very disturbed to know what people would think about the dress. Isn't it crazy since she is criticising others for their lack of dress sense and yet she is also a victim of that.
I am not saying we should allow one another be, to the extent that society become insane and we can almost declare a fashion state of emergency in the world - which is still about to happen, even with the various acclaimed guides to the fashion world. All I am saying is, let's hive each other some breathing space. To an extent, there is an inner designer in most of us, so let's allow ourselves that opportunity sometimes

hair revamp
Well this is one of those publications I told you I had to hold back on due to lack of appropriate illustrations for you.
I'll tell you about it anyways, see if you can follow.
See I have carried this hair for quite sometime - beyond the four weeks period most people I know keep their hair. That's because I believe that if the hair inside isn't smelling and you took the time and money to buy a pretty good weapon, then you should carry it for as long as it looks good or at least longer than four weeks. So I'll tell you how I did it.
The hair was originally wavy, but it had started to lose the wave. Make sure that while the hair is still new, you comb it line by line at least once a week with a wave comb - even if the weapon is expensive, it still need proper care just like the synthetic ones.
When it is over a month it may lose some of the waves and if you want it back, here's how to do it.
First, get those really tiny rollers that have a soft rubber attachment to hold the hair in place.
Rub in a good serum or hair shine product. Comb it in. Take really tiny portions of the hair - I'd like to call it YOUR hair. And wrap it round the rolers. You have just about twelve but that's all you'll need.
Do this in different parts of you hair Making to go around the hair. You may have to lift off portions of hair to pick smaller portions underneath.
You can now simply leave it till morning.
In the morning. Unwrap the hair from the rollers. You should have combed your hair properly the previous day to avoid having to comb this morning.
If you did it well, you can just walk out your door without doing more than running your hands through the hair and your hair will look like you made it yesterday.
Oh, let this be our little secret.

HAPPY NEW YEARS
I said happy new years because it's been so long. I am sorry for not being here for so long. I have a lot to tell you but due to many difficulties, I haven't been able to.
I promise to do my best to share all that I have with you even if I may not have all the needed attachments to give you the best. As time goes on I will add what I can.
So the new thing I want to focus on is languages.
Has it ever happened to you that because of time and other factors, languages that you have learned and mastered, begin to wane. You seem to lose touch with them.
Mine happened with English language; the language I received many nicknames for.
So this year I have decided not to sit down and watch that happen. I will get at least five words from the dictionary at random everyday and never stop even when I am completely back in control. I think I'll also throw in a bonus of other languages to make it more fun.
I invite you to join me on this journey. Whatever your waned language may be. Jump in and take it back.
