Tulle Skirt. Who Rocked it better?

 Hi everyone, how's it going? wishing you the best this week. Tulle skirts are pieces I shy away from, because I've always felt they'll make me look way younger, playful and really funny but when I came across this pictures, I had a total rethink! You can wear a tulle skirt and still look F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S...lol..I actually had to spell that out.

Toun'AJ of TounAj blog and Chastity Valentine of Garnerstyle rocked different tulle skirts.

Baldness!

  Hi everyone (decided to change from the usual "hey guys") a concerned reader said I start that way and only talk about girl stuff!..so how y'all doing? Hope you had a blast this past weekend...mine was...*lips sealed.

   Baldness is health related yeah? I noticed 8 out of 10 guys I see nowadays is getting bald! ( I'm not exaggerating guys), I know some guys like to keep a shaven head and all but am talking about being bald ..as in losing hair.... (I'm not against baldness)...we can't always control our bodies and the way It works but ignorance isn't alrite either.




   It wasn't this way years back, baldness was more common in men in their mid-30s and above, but now even 18 year olds and those in their early 20s are growing bald!! What could be the cause of this drastic increase in hair loss amongst the male folk?? Diet? Enviroment? Drugs?

   Baldness,(I don't wanna use too many medical terms) characterized by hair receding from the lateral sides of the forehead (known as a "receding hairline") and/or a thinning crown (balding to the area known as the ‘vertex’). Both become more pronounced until they eventually meet, leaving a horseshoe-shaped ring of hair around the back of the head. (Wikipedia) Its mostly be genetic or as a result from an bad diet, diet high in animal fats (often found in fast food) and vitamin A is also thought to have an effect on hair loss. or from certain fungal or bacterial infections, certain drugs etc.




  Balanced Diet rich in biotin, protein, zinc and iron. E.g vegetables, fruits, whole grain, cereals, have been shown to improve hair quality and quantity. The Norwood scale is usually used to determine the degree of baldness...so if your on level 1,its classified as no baldness but at level 5, "Guy u'r on your own o".




Ladies..What's your take on baldness??

To the men out there, how do you feel about hair loss??

Get angry - get skinny: Outrage will help you slim down and lose weight

  Hey guys, okay, I know it sounds weird, new studies show that we lose our appetite when we are disgusted and angry, Feeling outrage might help us lose weight, this study says.

   In moral behavioural tests, when people became disgusted by immoral acts, their appetite waned.
 
  ‘Exposure to moral violations reduces [food] consumption, and highlights a psychological truth in the metaphorical observation that moral violations “leave a bad taste” in one’s mouth,’ says Cindy Chan, who led the research.


  
   All the participants were given a chocolate milk drink while watching. Those who believed they were viewing an incest film, drank around a third less – 110g compared to 147g.



Trend Court???

   Hi guys, how was the weekend? So sorry for my absence here, been down with cough and catarrh and you know how cough syrups make you sleepy and weak most times, well...slept a lot this past weekend. Lent is on and I couldn't be more happy. Believe it or not, its my favourite part of the year.....*big smile*

   I really didn't know what to title this post, searched for a suitable word, but couldn't find one..so I just stuck with this..lol..its been in my draft for about a week now, I keep forgetting to save it, so I always have to start from scratch everytime.

  With fashion evolving everyday, its not hard to see why new trends keep coming and going. These trends have been here for a while now, I just wanted to give my thoughts on them.

Acid-Wash jeans




 
  Although, acid wash jeans were a staple wardrobe piece for rock stars, Punks, street style and the likes in the '80s, its back now and even better now, from acid wash pants to skirts, its a really cool trend.

Verdict- Gotta have! but don't go too crazy with it

Ombre hair

  Ombre hair usually refers to hair colour fading from dark to light or vice versa, instead of the hair colour starting from the roots, it actually becomes lighter or darker towards the end.

Verdict- Not too sure about this, I'm pretty sure its a trend that's not gonna be around for too long!





Midi Skirt
  



   Skirts that have their hemline below the knees, midi skirts always accentuate curves, that why it isn't hard to see why laddies are so in love with this trend, from office hour to happy hour, midi skirts are always at your service

Verdict- Must have!

Graphic tee

   Graphic tees surprisingly have become a wardrobe essential, dressed casual or formal, they always do no wrong, they also add a playful, youthful look to your ensemble.







Verdict- Must have!

Iro and Buba

 Iro(wrapper) and buba( blouse) used be worn a lot by older women, but nowadays its been embraced by the younger generation, from pairing it with blazers, to knot wrapper styles iro and buba just became way cooler, I even just had 1 made* dancing azonto*

Verdict- Must have! Must have! Must have!





  There are just a lot of trendy fashion pieces around, it would be quite a long post if I talked about every one of them. Its good to be trendy and fashion conscious but choose wisely and pick what trends suit you best.

Thanks to these fabulous bloggers ...Ella Mo's blog, Ethniques blog, Just Porsh, Toun 'Aj' blog and other sources,for pictures used in this post.....xoxo
