HEALTHY HAIR WITH MYKSILK

Leave a comment

My hair has been getting so spoiled these past few months from amazing conditioners and shampoo,s to amazing hair cuts from my new favorite natural hair specialist and now, I get to rest these kinks and coils  on the finest of silk pillowcases. I own a satin pillowcase, but nothing beats the quality of some good ol fashion silk. The satin pillowcase is just fine, but I can surely tell the difference after sleeping on the MyKSilk pillowcase for the past few weeks. I’ve partnered with MyKSilk and they sent me the most amazing pillowcase a girl could ever want in the prettiest purple too. Some of us ladies don’t often think about the fabrics we rest our lovely locks on every night, but believe it or not, it makes a huge difference in the health and wellness of our hair. I’ve been working real hard to make sure my hair grows healthy and long for my pageant in April and one of the ways I’m trying to achieve this goal is by being more conscious of the fabrics I rest my head on every night. Cotton is an absolute no no for my hair. It causes major tangles and dry out. Using the MyKSilk pillowcase has made a huge difference with that. My hair has less tangles and I noticed my hair is retaining a lot more moisture than usual.  I know my hair looks a bit dry in these pics, but this is day 11 of an old wash n go style. Not bad, huh?

Besides being way more affordable than most silk, the MyKSilk pillowcases are chemical-free, and made of 100% Mulberry silk. In other words, your hair and skin will thank you in the end. Tis the season for spreading the lovely, so in honor of the month of love I’m offering all my readers 15% off the entire MyKSilk website when you use code: Deidra15. Treat your hair to a silky experience this month. And, if you’re not on the hunt for a pillowcase, MyKSilk sells a plethora of other items you should definitely check out, like silk sleepwear, silk accessories and even silk bed sheets. I’m pretty confident there is something for everybody, so treat that loved one to some silk so fine.

MAKENA BEACH PART II

Leave a comment

Let us all give a round of applause to the man who did virtually all the driving whilst touring the Northshore while I had my feet up on the dashboard with a hat over my eyes straight chilling. We were lost for a while trying to find the cool private beaches where the locals surf. Ended up back at Makena beach again. I’m cool with that though. There was plenty of surfing going on there and the waves were amazing. Not that I know a lick about surfing, LOL. Confession, I may or may not have used a bottle of water to wash my hair this day, LOL. Don’t ask, really.

By the way, peep Charles using a map instead of his Apple GPS to navigate, LOL. He is such an old soul. He asked me if I knew anything about maps, I was like yeah, I love that song by Maroon 5.

In other news, after this trip we hit up 2 very fancy Target’s in Hawaii, because who doesn’t go to Target in every city they visit? If you’re ever in Waikiki, make sure to visit their 3 story Target, it’s a dream, really.

I’ll be posting a few more blogpost about my trip. We did so many things while we were here so I have a lot of content coming at you. Stay tuned. By the way, my Hakuna Matata tee is from 5 and Below and the jeans are from our impromptu trip to Target.

See you all next week!

OUTFIT IDEAS TO GET YOU THROUGH THE REST OF WINTER

Leave a comment

Yup, it’s still cold here in NC and it doesn’t look like it’s gonna let up anytime soon. That doesn’t mean your outfits have to be a drag. Usually around this time I’m just about over winter and winter clothing but this year I’ve got some go to looks that have been helping make it through these last few brutal months of the winter season. So today I’ll share 5 outfit ideas to get you through to spring.

.

MINI SKIRTS AND TIGHTS

Yes, I’ve been sporting this look all winter and will continue to do so till further notice, why, because it’s cute and stylish. Lately, I’ve been wear more floral skirts to help transition my wardrobe to a more spring look. The tights and panty hose are just there because it’s too early to go bare leg. If you’re looking for something extra funky, I suggests doing a colorful or printed tight. Perhaps some heart tights for Valentines day.

SWEATER SWITCH

As you can see, I’m wear more of mauve, palish pink colored sweater, a great transition into spring but still very appropriate for winter being that it’s a sweater. Simple switches from winter bold greens and blues to soft blushes and subtle pastels will ease your bored and get you in spring mindset.

MAKE-UP REVAMP

I’m no make-up expert, but the darker lip colors and festive eyeshadows have officially been laid to rest for the season and I’m gradually switching over to bold reds, soft pinks, browns, nudes and of course clear. These are spring colors for sure and sure to get you in a spring state of mind. By the way, the lippy I’m rocking in this post is Central Perk by Oui Fresh, the perfect winter spring transition color.

FLORAL

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, floral is a year around type of deal and it’s all in the way you style it. I love mixing prints and am quick to include a floral print in my everyday looks if it makes sense. darker florals are probably your go-to for this time of year, but again, a great way to get you in that spring state of mind. If you’re not really a fan of floral, try a floral scarf or floral print shoes or do what I did in Hawaii and add a cute flower in your hair.

KIMONO STYLE

For those saying kimonos and kimono style tops and jumpsuits are played out got it all WRONG. This is the ultimate spring look and this style looks good on almost all body types because it accentuates the collar-bone, covers up just enough for a work setting, but can still be super sleek and sexy in fun prints, and silky or satiny fabrics. I have several kimono cover ups that definitely add some flare to a boring winter outfit, but still give me that feeling of spring.

I hope these ideas were super helpful. I’ll be back for another Hawaii update this Thursday.

Till next time.
