A treat for the lips

Mary and I absolutely love lip products....lipstick, lipgloss,  lipstains..name them and we love em! You can view our obsession here and here. Sometimes though, a girl just needs a simple product that keeps your lips looking shiny and moisturised.

We are currently obsessing over the new Nivea Lip Butters, you cannot pass by any supermarket cashiers without spotting these beauties. Take the plunge and spend the Kshs 300 on these babies, they are super! With ingredients like Shea butter, Castor seed oil and Sweet Almond oil, they definitely are a treat for the lips.

What lip products are you guys loving at the moment?

Cheapie Deep Conditioner

Hey guys how are you today,

Today we want to share a great quick DC mix that's super cheap and very effective..

We came across this great recipe from watching Naptural85's video where she uses Greek yogurt and apple cider vinegar as a deep conditioning mix.

The steps are really simple, All you have to do is 3/4 of a cup of any natural yogurt (NB: Do NOT use the flavoured or fruity variety - however tempted you may be). You have the choice of using either ACV (apple cider vinegar) or just plain old V (vinegar). Mix the two and voila!

We normally apply it section by section then leave it on for like 30mins. Rinse with cold water and make sure to rinse well, old stale yogurt smells!

 Hair with no product 

Any cheap deep conditioning recipes you guy can share?

Dinner with Mugabe!

Was it not enough punishment and suffering in history that we were uprooted and made helpless slaves not only in new colonial outposts but also domestically! (Robert Mugabe)

This past two weeks I have been reading the books below and can highly recommend them. Firstly God is not a Christian by Desmond Tutu. I am hardly a good Christian, sadly for my mother but this book reminds us that we do not choose which religion we are born in and we should as humans remember that we should embrace our similarities especially amongst our religions.

The second book is a powerful piece by Heidi Holland.She tracks down key figures in Mugabe's life and speaks to them intimately about the man that is Mugabe. I found that I also learnt alot about Zimbabwe's struggle for independence and I can empathise with where Mugabe is coming from 

You can get both books from Text Book Centre around Kshs 900 each.

A Look Behind the Scenes

We recently had the opportunity to sit down for what I consider to have been our most intimate and comfortable interview to date.

Here are some behind the scenes pictures!

Hope you're doing great this dreary Friday morning. So I (Mary) got some big dookie braids done over two weeks ago; they are the easiest protective style I've had to date.
