Recycled Jeans

I got a couple of jeans I was going to dump,and I am thinking why throw them away when I can create something out of it,so I decided to recycle them and take a look at what I came up with.

I cut this one and made it into a turn up,and that's me rocking it.

This one I decided to cut and put in pieces of our african fabric,I even tried to make out a love shape at the back.I really like this one though and I will post a picture whenever I go out with it.

    This is my best edited shorts,I cut the real pockets out and replaced it with ankara and let the pockets pop out.I also made a matching bangle to complete the look.

 So get busy with those jean or pant trousers you want to dump because they can be recycled into a fashion statement.Watch out for my next post I will be showing you pictures of ankara accessories made by me.Cheers!!!

The Kitchen And The Body

Sugar,eggs,strawberries,pineapples,honey and the matchbook,these items are not just for consumption and striking the match stick they got awesome abilities too,check this out.
Put half a teaspoon of sugar and a small amount of water on a toothbrush and scrub your lips,trust me that gives you Soft,Smooth and Kissable lips.
.





Break two eggs in a bowl,spread on
your face and allow to dry,rinse off and you have an instant face-lift.

Broken nail,cant find your nail file,use the strike strip on your matchbook that should do the trick.

Natural honey dislodges impurities and unclogs pores,so wake up on a saturday morning and slather on your face.

Strawberries and pineapples help lighten stains caused by dark foods and red wine.

The Maxi Tale

   Aloha! Its the beginning of a new week and i've made a special request to God to make it wonderful for my readers.Today its the maxi look,easy one and i got some tips.
If you're short go for a full lenght dress that snugs your body figure particularly around your hips and thighs.Also the V-shaped neckline will make you look taller and leaner.You want to pair it up with the pumps,wedges or high heeled sandals its alright for some extra height.Try a nude maxi dress its lovely.
The maxi dress is just perfect for the plus size,it minimises large hips.Go for wide straps and large prints,dark and neutral colours make you look slim.Remember not to hide your body in a loose-fitted dress let it fit snugly to your body figure without clinging.

Let's not leave out the beautiful ankara maxi dresses...check out the pictures and i am the proud designer of the beautiful white and pink dress.... yaaay!!
