Hope you enjoyed your weekend, have a great week ahead!

Vanity

I saw this on my friends facebook page today. I don't know if he wrote it himself but I thought I'd share.

"I recall a friend telling me about a man in his neighborhood who became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80's edition of the Honda Prelude. You wouldn't buy that car for 50k today.
I remember as a kid, my whole street converged to watch a truck deliverd a very large satellite dish to my neighbor's house. Today a dish one tenth that size delivers 5 times the value and is in almost every student's hostel room.
What about the Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz V booth, 505 cocaine, all overtaken by Camry,Honda discussions and Infinity? .... Vanity.

Tacos Locos

So last week we went to tacos locos for dinner after a long day in the library. I'm wearing the same thing from yesterdays post so this is a continuation really.
As you can see it was clearly a struggle to get that hat to fit on my head with my hair! Lol

Rest Of My Life - Ludacris ft Usher & David Guetta

LOVE THIS SONG!

David Guetta kills it everytime! He's what I call a "Headbussa" as in Head Burster lol. When I'm on my David Guetta playlist and my headphones are on my head might just burst! No not literally but you get what I mean. The last time Usher and Ludacris did songs together I remember loving them. Remember Yeah and Lovers and Friends (My Jam!) which both had the retard we all know as Lil Jon features as well but yh they were great regardless and Ludacris is definitely one of my fave rappers... appart from the fact that I've had a crush on his siiiiiiince *clicks fingers* lol (him and a few others, I should do a post on that, interesting).

Ok enough music/boy talk... Let's get on with today's OOTD taken in the library again.

Twist-Out Gone Wrong

After washing my hair with all the new products I bought, I detangled and twisted it with the mist and a bit of leave in conditioner and when I woke the next morning to unravel my twist (for the twist out style incase  you aren't natural) THE TWISTS WERE DAMP! It was a disaster! I was so excited to rock my hair after keeping it in those twists for so long and then this happens, monday morning, 9am seminar... the worst! Thank God I woke up earlier than usual so I was able to fix the mess kmt. Ended up doing an up do.

Wildest Dreams - Brandy

Loving that song right now

Hey guys! Just like this post, most of the pictures I'll be uploading were taken in the library. They don't look too nice but hey! Gotta get work done and have blog content as well. The library is really big so I try to use different corners so the pictures don't look too boring. This was during reading week and my hair was in twists so I just used a scarf for a quick style and it always works for me. It's my solution to all bad hair days including a high bun.

Random Updates: TWA?

What do you think? Yay or Nay?

I think I might cuz my hair again, I miss my TWA days. I mean the length is great and everything but it also comes with added stress like more time washing, detangling and all those KNOTS! Argh!
Don't get me wrong I loooooove my natural hair, I doubt I'd relax it any time soon but my hair grows really fast and I'm beginning to resent all the length I have now and this really shouldn't be the case cuz I love my hair! But only when it's detangled and styled, this is so hard.
Have any of you naturals out there had the same issue/dilemma? Any thoughts? Please share! x

*TWA meaning tini wini afro aka really low afro

Doodling in Class... smh Eki!

Hey guys hope you're all well.
The 2013 cruise lookbook series is finally over. Some may have enjoyed it and others hated it *shrug* OK! But I need content and that's what happens when there is scarcity! In other news, I make so many typos on this blog you would think I've never been schooled. If I had a pound for every error I'd be on a shopping spree rather than writing this post.
But that's not why we're here... The Weekend is here! What have you got planned? I've had a good week it was quite productive so thank God for that, how was yours? I went through some old lecture notes from second year and found some doodling! Lol... I'm not really good at drawing faces, only started practicing recently with a little improvement but I guess I was practicing drawing a realistic eye? smh. That was my failed attempt at explaining why I was drawing that instead of listening to the boring lecturer.

Throwback Thursday

These pictures were taken during reading week in the library just before I took out my twists, they still looked so nice! I was reluctant to take them out but my natural hair needed attention and the twists were in for way too long. This day was really boring we just took pictures to entertain ourselves lol after lunch of course, man must chop. Here's a pic of what I had, yummaaaay!! Healthy eaters inc. :)

My Girls Are Complete!

Well this is a scanned copy, it doesn't really do it justice so here are some pictures I took with my phone of little details and when it was still in progress.

British Curlies Order & Review

Remember me saying I ordered some natural hair products cuz I was thinking of taking out my twists? I got them and I've used them and they were pretty good for my first try the only thing I don't like is the thickening moisture mist cuz it doesn't dry over night! I tried it on a twist out after washing my hair and I woke up with the worst twist out in all the 2 years of my being natural, like ever! Had to do an updo to cover up the mess (I'll show you that in another post) and I ended up being late for the programme I was going to that day smh.
Well the shampoo and conditioner are both lovely, the shampoo doesn't strip my hait and leave it dry. The conditioner was great for detangling as well and the both smell ok. I used the deep treatment masque for deep conditioning it was really good and it smells ok. To be honest I've smelt better things but hey it's not like they have a disgusting smell it's just OK.
The 100% organic shea butter... Now THAT is a product! Smells great, wonderful ingredients and its really nice on my hair as well, I LOVE IT! I even found myself using it on my hands, yes it is that nice!
The give free samples with every order so that's what the little white bottle with hibiscus written on it is.It's a mizture of oils are it's really nice and smell amazing. Successful marketing strategy because I used it for my twist-out-gone-wrong-turned-into-an-updo style and I liked it a lot. If I keep using it I just might get a bigger bottle depending on the price.

If you have anymore questions you can look for other reviews on youtube or ask me in the comments section... cuz I don't think I did a really good job with this review lol. x

Check out my eBay!

You just might find something you like!

It's really late cuz somethings are ending already but I just might re-list some or add new things so keep checking! I'll leave a link to it at the top of the page, hope you all had a nice day! Nyt x

The Blog Is Now Public!

Yes I finally took the leap! Yay me! :)

Yellow Boucle Jacket

Here is it, hope you like :)

Obviously I wore tights cuz it's freezing and I wore a coat on it, layering is essential.

Remember the skirt from this post Tomboy Chic? It's actually a dress, but I refer wearing it as a skirt and that's the same thing I did here

Boucle jacket from Zara, shoes from Dune, studded top from Zara, skirt from forever 21(old).

Continue for more pictures :)

Love that Necklace!!!

Have no idea what to call this ootd post but I really do love the necklace I'm wearing Lol. x

Green with Envy

Please pay no attention to that part of my hand craving some lotion lol, but I had to use this picture so you could see the colour of the outfit clearly. As I don't have a very goo camera my phone didn't really pick up the colours and the pictures were taken at night which made it worse. Enjoy still! :)

Halloween 2012 Part 2

The Flapper Girl! :)

On this day I went out with Mirabel (evil cat), Wummerz (pregnant dora the explorer LOL), Kate (mini mouse) and Monica who really didn't bother to dress as anything. It was so crowded!!! The last time we went to a club in town when I dressed as a devil but this night we went to a club ON CAMPUS and the queue was crazy I even lost my hair net but I found it later. Mico got her hair pulled and a guy got his pants unbuckled and unziped! All in One bloody queue! It was real. Once again this post is photo heavy, enjoy the rest of the photos... x

Reading week & Hair

 :) OOTD post coming soon!*

Finally my reading week is here! So I can take time to chill and catch up on work I might take out my twists as well but I want to wait till I have shampoo and conditioner. Incase you didn't know I'm natural so expect a post with my 3 years length check :) Can't wait!

I went on this site called British Curlies and that's where I get all my natural hair products and tools when I don't go to an actual black hair shop to buy them. 

They are really good, have a lot of products from America that aren't available in the UK and the pricing is reasonable as well. 

I was going to try Carol's Daughter products but unfortunately they don't have it (disappointing) so I decided to go for Shea Moisture. 

I went on youtube to watch some reviews and people have some nice things to say about it so I'm gona try that out and do a review :) so look out for that. It's definitely my first time using the product so my washing routine in going to change. Keep reading to find out about my old routine.

Update on the Self Portrait

As you can see it didn't quite work out the way I had planned but oh well... Better luck next time.

Halloween 2012 Part 1

On Monday the 29th I went out with my girls here for my first halloween party ever and it was AMAZING! No really, we had loads of fun. All of us fell at least once, even me but wummerz fell the most lol. I (a devil) went with Mirabel (an air hostess), Toyin (a masseuse), Omowunmi (wummers was Abacha lool), Kate (Audrey Hepburn), Feyikewa (a playboy bunny), Monica (black swan)...
This post is photo heavy so be prepared!

New Markers!

I finally ordered new markers from Cowling and Wilcox. ANYBODY looking to buy new art supplies please go to their website, they give amazing discounts and I saved a lot of money buying from them. Well they're here!!!

So this is how I've chosen to keep them, no money to buy the proper container that letraset makes so I put them in an old persil gel capsule container :) 

Remember My Girls I showed you Here ? Well, I'm going to start colouring them soon so stay tuned. Thinking of using the finished for my header, right behind the blog title "the chameleon blogger"... What do you think? Let me know please. After that's sorted maybe I just might make the blog public lol duno. x

Can You Believe it?

I went out AGAIN tonight!

Oh well, more blog material for you less sleep for me!

I went as a flapper girl :)

Google it if you know not what it is.

Till I get the strength to gather pictures and select the good ones,

You'll just have to wait! ;p

But first...!

Goodnight
