All in Beauty
As of late, I have tried my hardest to lower my carbon footprint and use products that harm our beautiful planet as little as possible. I am always on the lookout for new brands that help me do this so was thrilled to hear the announcement about new beauty brand launch Fiils.
Did you know that only 50% of toiletries are recycled, which is just over half of the 90% of kitchen products which are recycled. Not sure why that is but…
So, if you follow me on Insta, you would have seen me talking about my obsession with the Sanaa Lathan movie “Nappily Ever After” and me feeling compelled to cut my curls. Well, I did it!
Full disclosure, I know that we are in November but I am still coming to terms with the fact that we are no longer in Summer. Anyone else find that this confusing fluctuation in the weather has been playing havoc with your immune system?
So, I recently attended the It's A Vegan Ting Festival in London. And while I was there, I picked up this amazing Vegan Girl Gang T-Shirt. I had seen it when I looked up the line-up before I attended the event. So I was elated to find it there and it was the last one left!
I was blessed enough to attend the Black British Bloggers Photography Workshop at the Impact Hub, Brixton, where we learnt about lighting techniques, angles, shooting flatlays, beauty and fashion as well as finding the perfect light on outdoor shoots. Before even entering the venue, I could tell it was going to be a great creative day. Walking through Brixton market and seeing all the creativity and vibrancy.
Summer is finally here with a vengeance and this time of year is my ultimate fave. It's a time where those pins and pits come out of hiding when the woolly hats and jumpers get put away and those gorgeous bikinis and summer dresses come out to play. Yayyyy! Partayyyy!
Did you know that around 50–100 million animals are used in experiments each year?! In this day in age, I ask myself why we are still undertaking such cruel and barbaric tests. We are now able to unlock our phone with our fingerprint, power cars solely on electricity and fly to the moon and back. But yet, despite all of that, we continue to cause pain and suffering to these beautiful, innocent beings!
So last week I went to the It's A Vegan Ting event and it was such a cool experience. It was like a party with loads of amazing food, drink, art, clothes, accessories and cosmetics. All of my favourite things, so I was 100% in my element!
Every fashionista knows that lipstick really finishes a look nicely. Most days I'll only wear my eyebrows and mascara. Then I add lipstick to the mix and feel fire! There are now a lot of vegan friendly lipsticks out there for us to choose from and I have started to build up quite the collection!
Living in England in the Summer can reak havoc with natural hair. Especially when you not only decide to stop straightening it and transition back to your natural hair, but you take it upon yourself to go vegan at the same time.
As some of you may know I have a love hate relationship with my skin and am constantly on the lookout for the best thing for my skin. Here are some of my favourite vegan skincare finds
Winter in England can be bitterly cold so it's important to wrap up warm. But dressing for the winter doesn't mean you have to walk around looking like a yeti. You can still look cute whilst being practical. Here's how
As it's National Christmas Jumper Day and we have 10 more sleeps until Christmas, I thought I would compile a list of gifts for any vegans you are buying for this year (aka my Christmas wishlist)
Now that the weather is getting a bit colder, I am naturally gravitating towards more muted tones. This mauve and grey outfit is the perfect combination of sass and class.
So I know I only ever blog about fashion. But I feel like, unless your Winter fashion will constantly consist of balaclavas, then every Fashionista needs to take care of their skin. Winter always plays havoc with mine. It becomes dry and dull, so a good skincare regime is imperative to keep it glowing for all the festivities of the season. Herein lies the secrets to my radiant Winter skin.
In Autumn, I really love the colours red and black together. Maybe because it's Halloween season and these colours conjuer up a dark, vampishly mysterious feel.
I have always loved the underwear-outerwear look. It can sometimes look a little trashy though. So to keep it classy, it's important to keep the rest of the outfit as low key as possible.
When Autumn comes, it's time to wrap up warm. As much as I don't like the cold, I do love throwing on a nice snug coat and scarf to keep the cold at bay. My Autumn wardrobe usually consists of muted tones with some sultry reds and earthy colours thrown in for good measure.
Working in the City, I sometimes feel like a rose in a concrete World! Believe it or not, I can be a delicate little flower when the mood takes me and everything seems to be so harsh around me. But still I choose to flourish rather than perish under the pressures of City life.
