Winter Essentials

Unless you spend your winter days indoors to enjoy the lovely winter food (watch the figure, summers just around the corner), in a blankie with a heater and the TV next to you, winter can be such a drag, it is cold, grey and dull, did i mention cold...

So a few winter tips to help you get through the winter days..

1. Moisturise moisturise and moisturise - the winter weather dries skin out so get yourself a good bottle of body moisturiser, try the body shop body butter, clicks oh so heavenly  soak it up body lotion, for even better results use with a good tissue oil.

2. Lip Love- take care of your kissing tool...use nivea SOS Lip Repair then use your lip gloss or lipstick for kissable winter lips.
3. Love your  weave- now I'm no expert or angel for that matter but wash your weave at list every fortnight, base the scalp with with a rich moisturiser at list 3 times a week, try Olive oil root fertiliser or Palmer's olive oil scalp conditioner
4. Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate- I cannot stress this enough! Water H2O and lots of it...

5.Exfoliate- get rid of dead skin with a mild exfoliation, use a facial brush or Johnson and Johnson gentle exfoliating scrub, not everyday though, scrub does dry skin out when over used.


6. And finally! Winter fashion must haves, these are the basics for your wardrobe and the rest are nice to haves

Bottom row: the classic trench, the statement trench, the classic blazer,the knitwear

From top clockwise: the cowboy mid calf boot, the flat hooker boot, the sophisticated stiletto hooker boot, sneaker love
 leopard print platform, the nude platform. ankle boots in all shapes and cuts, the grunge boot(doctor martin's) and
 the ugg's(ladies these are strictly for indoor purposes PLEASE! )

Scarves in all shapes and prints, scarves can brighten and jazz up and otherwise normal outfit. Shades: I cant live
without them, for as long as the sun shines I got to have my shades. Gloves: need I say more. Hats: beanies, alice bands
 any form of hat as long as you look good and you keep your pretty little head warm


Bring your make up on, wear warm and golden tones, do the bright coloured lip gloss to brighten up your look, cold weather doesn't mean you don't have to get yourself dolled up.
