Post 12: WYLAT

DRAKE, DRAKE, MY BABE DRAKE!

On 25th March I went to Drake's Would You Like A Tour? concert ft TheWeeknd and Jhene Aiko at the 02 arena. Before this, I didn't listen to TheWeeknd and wasn't too interested in him either but after hearing him perform live with his tantalizing voice (I've been saying his voice is tantalizing ever since the concert and yes, it actually is a word. No, I don't care if it makes sense or not). I can't even explain how his voice sounded but it was good ... very good. Like, you feel it. Mate, its a ''had to be there'' experience. I love his song The Morning!

DRAKEEEE, on the other hand, this fella knows how to turn the party right UPPP! If you know you're going somewhere with Drake, you just know to expect a turnt up time (Yeah, yeah some of y'all think I'm talking too much like I know him but WHAT-EVERRR *American accent* I do in my head)
Champagne Papi said how London is his second home, aww. When Jhene Aiko came out to sing From Time,  the crowd was like 'yassss!', this lil lady is just gorgeous and has such an amazing voice to match.
Drake did shoutouts to the audience at the end of the concert and I'm pretty sure we all felt like he was speaking  to us directly ey, love you Drake

Below you'll find my outfit for the night (I had to impress Drake, obvi):

Semi-hoop earrings - Primark (£1.50 I think)

Jacket - Birthday present from the lovely Malina, from ASOS 

White camisole
Black high-wasted jeans - Primark
Black boots
Simple, black bag - Primark (£10)

I wore a white camisole with the big jacket. I initially decided to wear a white crop top with this outfit but changed my mind last minute, either way it would have looked nice with the rest of the outfit. I'm wearing black high-wasted jeans, eventhough I'm average height (5'7ish), for some reason the jeans were short around the ankles and if I had gotten a size bigger they would only have fallen down. The thing I don't like is that the jeans were a little big on me around my waist and with no belt loops, I had to keep pulling it up which is annoying.

I love my bag. It has a simple silver plate design and for a tenner, it was very affordable. It looks classy and can be worn with pretty much any outfit. It has a small handle and on the inside it has a longer strap so it's able to be adjusted and worn as a shoulder bag too.

Post 11: RAZAC Creme

Product review

Perfect for perms finishing creme by Razac

I bought this creme in America for $8.99 but I just google'd it and found the same thing on fishpond.co.uk for £29.97 (8oz). The smaller, 4oz one is £13.07. This hair creme is white, it has a smell which isn't too strong. I just apply some to my roots after washing my hair or during the week if I feel my hair is dry. It's easy to rub into hair but I don't like how it leaves my hands feeling greasy, I guess that way at least I know my hair definetely was moisturised with something. I don't like those products that leave your hair feeling dry like you haven't even used anything at all. After using this, I can put my fingers in my hair and feel that it has been applied. I have many other hair products that I think are better though and I'll definitely be blogging about a few of them some time soon.

Post 09: Valentine's lookbook

Zizzi, Canary Wharf

On Valentine's day, me and my girls went out to the lovely Italian restaurant, Zizzi, in Canary Wharf. The food was amazing! I ordered the casereccia pollo picante (basically spicy chicken pasta) and ah .. the taste .. just ah.

Outfits for the night:

From left to right: 

Efe: 

Crop top - New Look (£5)

Skirt - Miss Selfridges (£25)

Cardigan - H&M (£20)

Tights - Primark (£3)

Heels - Primark (£16)

Vanya:

Full outfit - Zara

Necklace - Lola and Grace

Me:

Blouse - a Christmas gift

Wet-look leggings - Primark

Boots - Rainbows (New York)

Malina:

Dress - Random shop but the name of the brand is 'Signature'

Tights and shoes - Primark

Chloe:

Laced-top and black leggings - Primark

Heels - Next

I like the pattern of my blouse as it's a little different, it can be worn with black jeans and heels to get a similar look. I love how Efe wore her skirt with the crop top and blazer, even another colour crop top or vest top would just tie this whole outfit together nicely.

Post 08: Length check - hair love and Castor oil

I don't like trims

I got my hair trimmed back in December, I had so many split ends! I'm the kinda person that does NOT like seeing my hair leave my head so I've only had two or three trims in these 18 years LOL
You can see how uneven it was before the trim

It obviously looks way better after those rubbish ends were gone

This picture was taken last month (21st March), because my hair was relaxed at the start of December, I already know and can feel all the new growth but it might not be as noticeable in the pic because of the angle it was taken at

Dani's St Lucian hair

Daniella, my hairspiration.

This girl and her long hair is forever making me jel without even doing anything! She's always telling me to ''just use castor oil, it works magic''. 

For those of you that don't know about castor oil, it's an oil-based product made from castor beans and it's said to be extremelyyy good with hair growth and other things. All you do is apply it to your hair regularly, as you would with any other hair product and bam! (Well, it doesn't work instantly but you know what I mean).

I've got the pure Jamaican castor oil that my mum got me when she came back from there but it can also be bought from markets or hair shops, just ask for "castor oil" or "Jamaican castor oil" for the good one. It's quite thick which I personally don't really like about it but that means you only need to use a small amount of it.

Me and Daniella use another castor oil product called Africa's Best Castor Oil, we bought this at a hair shop for £1.49 and all we do is mix it with the original castor oil and apply it to our hair. I should really do this about once/twice a week but I use other hair products too so I don't think it's necessary.

Africa's Best Castor Oil - Hair shop (£1.49)

This product has a sweet scent, it's smooth (if that's the right word to describe it), it gets a bit sticky but that's probably because of the ingredients used to give it that sweet smell (I'm guessing?). It's easy to rub in though and smells like Pineapple KA. Buy it.

I can't find a picture of my castor oil online but it looks a little like this

If you need to know more about it or any other products I post about, just send me an email at:

Post 07: Fee's hair journey

"Natural" or nah?

I actually became interested in hair and looking after it after I relaxed my own on my 17th birthday last year and it started breaking. After I relaxed my hair I still considered myself to have "natural" hair but from watching youtube videos and doing my research, I noticed that people in the 'hair community' didn't often consider relaxed hair as being natural and that's what made me think .. Oh, so when people ask me if my hair is natural, what do I say?

I always thought non-natural hair was basically weave, extensions etc but anyway, long story short - My hair is natural in the sense that it's my own hair growing from my own head but it's just relaxed.

Quick post to give you an insight into my hair journey:

• Relaxed it on my 17th birthday, March 2013
• My hair started breaking a little because of laziness and lack of care
• I didn't like this 
• The fear of my hair never being thick and afro-ey ever again scared me
• So I decided to return to natural eventhough I've only relaxed it 2 more times since
• The last time I relaxed it was December 2013 but I'm transitioning and have new growth
• I'm doing the "no heat challenge" - no straighteners, hair dryers or any heat 
• I started in Jan, straightened my hair as a one-off in March now I'm back to the challenge

... And that's pretty much a year of hair detail condensed into 8 bulletpoints, you're welcome :)

Post 06: Fine dining - Turkish restaurant

This is such a late post but on 18th January I went to a Turkish restaurant called Fora with some friends for a friends 18th dinner and it was so good! It was my first time trying turkish food so I didn't know what to expect but I eat almost everything so I couldn't wait to see what was on offer.
The amount of food and BREAD we were given was filling, I mean, the starter alone made me tired.. and I can eat a lot!

The live entertainment was definitely a new experience, how often do you have a belly dancer at dinner LOL!

I'm wearing leopard print, not sure what to call them but they're sort of like harems with my black boots and black blouse. I added a big necklace to complement the simplicity of the blouse. I'm wearing 'Diamond shine and sweet lipgloss' by Profusion.

Necklace, blouse and boots - Rainbows (New York)
