A brief thought…

‘Looking back over the past year I have to say its been one of the best growth wise. I’m no longer so phased by things these days and that’s because I’ve dropped a lot of baggage getting here. I’ve never been miss friends galore but i’ve also never been the person with 2 friends and everyone else is an acquaintance type of person.

But honestly I made the decision to only have a few nearest and dearest who I knew I could really give myself to as a friend, i decided if i didn’t want people to talk negatively about me i had to makesure i didnt do the same, and almost like magic alakazam…life became better.

Scalp Massages

Another post on massages! What is the addicition you ask?! I’m a feind for them honestly. Got a new thai massage place ‘Bua Siam’ for anyone living in Munich (i wish!) It’s my new fortnightly hot spot. In fact no lie i’ve been spending too many dollar dollar bills there, perhaps i should consider shares…

But yes if you’ve been for a good old massage you’ll know how amazing they can be at easing and relaxing your muscles plus unblocking those stress nerves. I took a friend when she visited and she feel asleep during the massage! For those who don’t know… thai massages aren’t easing going…how do you sleep when someone stands on your back!!! Anyway point is

Hot comb vs Straighteners

Monday, 6 December, 2010

Which do you prefer???

I’ve been reading quite a few debates on a few hair forums, and lets just say some women get quite mean and argumentative when the hot comb vs straighteners topic comes to light!

Like it or not… there simply is no right answer as to which is better. Each hot comb and pair of straighteners are different and most importantly so is our hair.

I only ever recall using a hot comb in my hair at the hairdressers and i’ve always been quite scared of them. I definitely wouldn’t use them for myself at home because of fear of burning my hair and self! But this doesn’t necessarily mean they are bad… in fact those

Baggying

Thursday, 2 December, 2010

Moisture is no.1 when it comes to healthy hair. Afro carribean hair lacks this especially due to its coarseness. However as with most things in life there is a way around dry and brittle hair…and baggying most definitely is a G when it comes to giving moisture highs! I also briefly mentioned it in a previous ‘Length Retention’ post.

What is bun baggy-ing/ baggying?

Baggying is when you moisturize your whole head of hair and then wear a shower cap and allow your hair to generate heat via your body heat. Bun baggy-ing is exactly the same except you only baggy your ponytail and then bun it and then use your shower cap etc.

I lurrrrveee baggying and did it at

Hairstyling: Gel

Wednesday, 1 December, 2010

I’ve never used hair gel…tell a lie I used to when i was 14 and thought i was a gangster supermodel…then knowledge came and taught me a few things! But really, ever since then i’ve been very much so against using hair gel. It usually makes your hair quite hard, leaves residue behind and can clog your pores. However earlier this year a friend introduced me to the Eco styler hair gel, which to my knowledge is widely used in America.

It’s alcohol free and comes in various types including an olive oil based gel. I used some and it was as promised non flaking and didn’t leave the sides of my hair hard.

There are many products used for

100 Blog posts later

Wednesday, 1 December, 2010

I’ve reached my 100th blog (this is 101!!!) It feels so good, especially knowing that I’ve not grown bored of it and that i still love to blog as much as I did when I started if not even more . Unlike other bloggers my goal wasn’t to reach 100 and then do something fun e.g a giveaway! Instead I’ve got another goal and when i reach it…which is likely to be very soon! You will definitely know about it!

But on that note I just want to say thank you to everyone that reads the blog and those that comment and facebook me. Its nice to know the hair-love connection is mutual and it makes me very happy!

my love always x

Thursday, 25 November, 2010

I love fish…not the smell or cleaning it, but the taste. Before moving to Munich I could have sworn i hated mackerel…but now i somehow love it!!! Before you read on…let me just say do not be fooled by simplicity.

‘Sometimes the simple things in life are the most fruitful ‘

This meal tasted soooo good it even inspired me to have a mini dessert afterwards! Very few ingredients are needed, and just a note for those ‘cough’…. including myself who use maggi in everything! —> Sometimes salt does the job all by itself. E.g leave maggi out of it!

Cooking time: 25 mins including preparation

Ingredients:
2 medium sized tomatoes
1 large onion
1 tsp tomato puree
1 garlic
