"YOU ARE NOT PRETTY FOR CONGOLESE MEN"

“You are not pretty for Congolese men”

STANDARD
CONGOLESE BEAUTY! 

What is the perfect size? What is beautiful? Are you beautiful for you or for others? Do you want to please or be content? 

Before I begin to vent and get all political and all other boring stuff, let me just clarify that I am currently in Congo, it’s been a month already and to my Kenyan loves I am sorry I do not miss Nairobi yet, I missed home way too much. So see you in September my loves! On top of that, my camera broke again as soon as I got here, so these photos I am posting are not recent.

To my surprise, not a week from being home, almost everyone I met had one comment for me “OMG you are so skinny, you need to put on weight”; Often times I just smile or giggle because in Kenya, Nairobi especially, I am not skinny, not even too skinny, I am model size and this size is prayed up on, people wish for it and here it’s rebuked, I am shocked. 4 days in my beautiful home country and someone I know brings me a bag of medicine to gain weight, yes a full bag, with about 4 different types of pills and syrups and mixtures of what and I don’t know what! Un-asked for, she just pulls me to the side and starts explaining how I should take it, and what side effects I may have, then she goes “I bought these for you, I will give you the first try for free and believe me in just 3 days you will gain weight and be happy, you will be beautiful because our men like women with a body, being this skinny, you will not find a Congolese man, a good woman is a woman with meat on her” I was so shocked and surprised, I just smiled and asked a bunch of questions and acted interested because I wanted to know more about this trend; apparently, so many people are taking those medicines, from married women to young girls, no wonder everyone is growing a big butt lately and those I left skinny are not anymore. Being the curious cat that I am, the next day, I asked a male friend about it and he told me straight up “Bullshit! Yes all women are fighting to gain weight, thinking we like it, truth is we don’t. TV is making you guys (women) think that a big butt, boobs or hips is what keeps a man, crap! I don’t like it”. I ask another friend and he says “ Never take those pills, you are fine just the way you are” Something my mom would say, myself included because honestly I am happy being this size, wearing tights catches less attention because I have no fatty (booty). But there are men who like it, another male friend of mine said “That’s how African women should be, a skinny woman is not beautiful”. To each their own! These comments about my size has gone on to my family, aunts on my dad’s side are now suggesting traditional doctors to help me gain weight, trips to the village are being planned, my grand-mother is being called…etc It is as crazy as it’s written and in my head I am screaming “Everybody Back off! I am fine”. The other day the same friend who approached me with pills and syrups, brings it up again so to shut her up, I reply; “The day I stop getting hit on, is the day I will take it, so I am not worried”. This all just goes on to say that; beauty has no specific size or height, in Kenya, I am usually told “You are so short, You are so tiny”; here I am cute, fun, sexy height, just perfect. Beauty has a different meaning to all of us, just because someone is beautiful to you does not mean she is or he is beautiful to me, likes and reasons differ. Personally, I like a black man, not light skinned, Black, with a “bit” of thick’ems that’s a man to me. Girls, I like them bigger than me, athletic body with slight curves and brown skin. To each his/her own! Don’t impose your likes on someone and do not allow them to do the same. At the end of the day you have to live with you. So please YOU! Let’s live free and happy!

3 WAYS TO TURN YOUR SCARF INTO A TOP

3 WAYS 

TO TURN YOUR SCARF 

INTO A TOP

CRAZY GOT ME GOOD ON THIS POST. BUT FUN THOUGH!

Hello my loves. I hope you are all having a blessed end month, those salaries coming in and if you just got paid, hit me up, I miss you. Lol, true story! So I woke up this morning wanting to plan my outfit for the day because I had a meeting and thought of a pretty turban scarf to cover up my edges and these braids that are looking 2 years old. Anyway so I grab the scarf from my wardrobe and start playing around with it and come up with these 3 tops. I am in love with the first and last one, the third one is a bit too revealing, not my style… anymore!

LOOK 1

So here is the first one, it’s a loose tube top and if you are dating enough it could go as a dress as well, you just roll it around you and pin it at the back, put on a belt to hold it up and walk around looking unique and chi-chi-chic!

LOOK 2

This second is pretty much straight forward, perfect for a sunny day, a day at the beach or a picnic with your loved ones. Wrap it and tie it neater than I did. But still it’s a great idea if you run out of tops to wear, grab some scarves and become a designer.

LOOK 3

 This last one is one of my favorite because of it’s complexity. My sister actually helped me out with this and this is what our brains came up with. I can actually see this translated into a real outfit, some good sewing and wrapping and bam, new trendy crop top!

 I hope you enjoyed it. See you again this week; I have news in store for you! We are going international. Hear all about it in my next post. Lovely week everyone!

DON'T FORGET TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.

OVERALLS, CROP TOP AND TURBAN SCARF

OVERALLS, CROP TOP

AND 

TURBAN SCARF

Hello my loves… And my new loves if you are new to my blog. Where broke girls like me are not afraid to be broke, in fact we are proud to be living on a budget. After all, your price tag doesn’t hang on to your outfit once you wear it. “Dress smart, prices doesn’t matter”

Today I am bringing you black on black with a fun twist to it. It’s comfortable, it’s sexy and it’s fun. Perfect for a lazy day out, a bad hair day and chill day any day every day. I am all about comfort, you’ll most likely see me in flats than in high heels; heels are made for 5 minute walks, for me at least. Can’t walk in them so won’t force it.

Before we get down to it, I have missed you so much, and I am still missing you, because my camera broke and my phone ain’t shit so I can’t take good photos. For today’s post I had to borrow this camera. So let’s thank that person and let’s talk fashion and budget!

OUTFIT DETAILS

Scarf: Christmas gifts “We all know I love free stuff”.

Crop Top: 10Ksh… Yes don’t judge me, appreciate. Hahaha!

Overalls: 1200Ksh… Mr.Price

Leopard Sneakers: 399Ksh. “Let me tell you a story about these shoes, I fell for them from the first time I saw them, at street fashion last year, you can check out the post on my blog, I will link it below. It was 1799Ksh back then, Too expensive for me, it’s just sneakers, so I bookmarked the page and a year later it went down to 399Ksh. Talk about hope and Patience. Amen”

Handbag: Gift… My kinda expenses

Let me also point out that; this is my first time ever applying eye shadow, my make-up skills are still in progress. Thanks to Winnie the fashionista for doing that YouTube video and made me try out my first eye shadow glam. Thanks boo boo.

See you guys at my next post. Be blessed and see you soon... Say goodbye to the braids... Mwaaaaaah.
