Post 18: Confidence

Lately, I've had friends tell me they admire my confidence or they love the confidence they're seeing in me. I didn't know people looked at me and saw/thought that so it's really nice being told. I must say, I've transformed from that shy girl back in year 7 to an outgoing, fairly confident and sociable person.
Hearing others say it to me means a lot because if they can see it, hopefully others can too and they can also become inspired by it. I'm surrounded by amazing, talented and bubbly people and I'm so grateful to have them in my life. I just wish everyone had the confidence to do something different, wear clothes they wouldn't usually wear and just go out.. have fun and live their life!

Unfortunately it's easier said than done but I hope that if the encouragement, advice and friendship I give can help at least one person come out of their shell then they'll go on to do the same to others.

What got me thinking about doing this post is that I know people that want to wear certain things but just don't have the confidence to do so, lets take crop tops for example.. people feel that they must have a 'flat' or 'toned' tummy to wear one? Is it because society says so? Because I completely disagree (considering I wear crops myself). I think that no matter your shape or size, you can wear clothes like that and if you're struggling to be confident in an outfit just remember that going out in something you're unsure about isn't as bad as you think. Sometimes it's best to just walk down that road, act like you've got the most confidence in the world and try not to think too much about what others are thinking because they probably see it as perfectly fine anyway. Another thing is that your confidence will not only be seen but it will be respected too.

I'm personally attracted to confidence and love seeing people wear figure-hugging outfits with pride. It makes me think if they can wear it, what's stopping me from doing so.

Remember girls .. It's YOUR body, if you got it flaaaunt it and even if you haven't got it.. who cares girl, do your thang!

Post 17: Afro Panic

Hey guys,
I know I haven't blogged in a while because I've been a bit lazy but I'm back :)
This post is about the mini panic attack I had when I thought my afro had disappeared 'forever', I did braids as a protective style in June for exam season (I only kept them for two weeks and I was glad I didn't need to stress over my hair) and when I took them out, my hair looked shorter to me.

I lived in the Lauryn Hill hairstyle btw, just saying,

Me being Fiona, I didn't have patience and immediately started panicking thinking I wouldn't see my big hair again LOL but my friend Chloe said all I needed was to moisturise it then just watch it come back to life.

I did just that and OBVIOUSLY, MY 'FRO RETURNEDDD! I started moisturising it really late so ended around 1am.. who would've thought my hair would be making me feel overly happy at that hour

I used the Africa's Best Castor Oil (Review in Post 08), along with the R&B Hair Moisturiser by Lush. I really do love sweet smelling products no matter what they are, these two products were a good combination, they worked well together to give my hair its afro'ness back and restore my happiness. I try not to put tooo many products in my hair all in one go ever since I went to get my hair straightened and the woman said I put way too much (And to think I put 3 different products in right before I went to see her JUST so it wouldn't be dry.. just no winning is there?)

So I part my hair, put a little bit of each at the roots and combed it through.

My re-growth is getting ridiculous and my large eco-styler gel has finished, life of a girl who is 6 months post-relaxer ain't easy ...

Post 16: 6" heels and a broken body part maybe?

Hey everyone,

My sixth form leavers ball/prom is coming up and I thought it would be nice if I got myself a pair of heels to match my dress. I usually don't wear heels at all, I've convinced myself that I can't walk in 'em.. plus wedges are the easy way out and I love my boots.

I saw these lovely nude heels in Westfield though,
They're 6" high.
Yep, 6 inches.. I think I'm crazy too lol. Ah well, it's not everyday wear flats and boots, some days realise height is elegance.
