Obamas Meets Royal Newlyweds

26 May Kate Middleton In £175 Reiss Dress

So it was a momentous day that the Obamas met the British Royals, oh how wonderful blah blah blah… all us girls really care about is what they were all wearing lol!

Sonia’s say:

So Kate Middleton aka ‘Mrs. Prince William’ was wearing a dress called the ‘shola bandage dress’ from Reiss and this has caused a great stir, because many people thought she would be now laced in designer threads costing an arm and a leg. But her style has apparently crashed the Reiss website and the dress is all sold out!

All i can say is that it was a good buy considering it cost her £175, which for most of us is expensive, but errrm she is meeting the President and his wife! So i would say a bargain.

In my opinion she made this dress look a million dollars she looked great in it and i think she is really beautiful! Go britain we need another style icon! :)

Michelle is a style icon in her own right too and i think she held it down for the Americans, but team Kate is who i am with lol. xoxo

Annie Says:

Whilst Kate looked elegantly beautiful, I cannot say that I was as blown away by Michelle Obama’s gown.

The First Lady is known for a staple stylish pieces but this one was nice..not WOW.

Her dress oozed class and sophistication which she already has in abundance but for me its not the best thing I have seen her in and I’m pretty sure she has hundreds, well actually thousands of other dresses she could have wore which would have suited her better!

Hot Pink Nails

22 May HotPinkNails

Hey Chickas,

Just wanted to show you guys my new nails.

I’m not really into wearing loud, brash colours. I like seeing them on other people but not on myself. I’ve just never thought it would suit my complexion.

I did a little trial last night of a HotPink (glow in the dark) shade that I picked up from my local shop.  I’ve had this nail polish for a good while but had never dared to try it on my nails.

I must say that I like this loud, brash, colourful me! lol

It suits me much better than I thought it would…

I’ve had alot of compliments on it already so here’s a pic for you guys to see. Let me know what you think.

Annie. xoxo

My thoughts on D41 as a de-tangling brush?

19 May Picture of my hair before and after detangling

Hi Honeys,

This is a little post on my first encounter with the Denman 41. 

After having used a wide tooth comb and tangle teezer for the last 2 years for de-tangling, I found that my hair was not being de-tangled as easy as it used to be. This is through my hair getting longer and thicker due to the extra TLC that i have put into my natural hair.

Through much research on the different brushes around for my hair structure, I found on paper the Denman 41 to be a great match. There are not many reviews online about this brush, so the lack of information did make me skeptical as there are many reviews on the other Denman brushes. So I took the gamble and ordered a few for our stock.  Here is a question and answer review on it.

My thoughts straight from the packet?

Looking at the packet it has a label that states that this Denman brush has ‘wide spaced pins ideal for thick and afro hair’.  Before my natural hair journey this would have impressed me, but through seeing tons of products and tools stating it to be for thick hair I was not really bothered lol. Looking at the brush I did like the looks of it, it looks wider spaced then the other Denman’s and the pins are definitely wider spaced and also longer then the other Denman brushes.

How did you find detangling?

I found the detangling of this brush to be very, very good!! I was shocked at how the brush did glide through my hair easily (starting from the ends slowly detangling up towards the scalp)

Are there any features you find especially helpful?

I find the spacing of the pins and the length of the pins to be extremely helpful for medium to long thick natural hair as this helped me detangle my curls easily and efficiently.  I think this brush may not work as well on short thick hair.

Are there any down sides to this product?

I have not found any on my first use of this brush, but if I do find anything I will be updating on a future entry.

What routine did you incorporate this brush into, how did you use it?

I would usually finger detangle my hair before brushing, but with this brush I didn’t do that to see the full benefits of it, and to be honest, finger detangling is not needed with this brush on my hair. I just worked my way from the roots upwards and found that to be very beneficial. I also checked the hairs after detangling, found them to have bulbs and not be breakage! I used this brush on soaking wet hair with our brand of Treasured Tresses Tea Tree Conditioner.
