Turning an old pair of jeans into a denim skirt

-
I love to recycle and upcycle.  So instead of throwing away the pair of jeans I turned it into a skirt.

I started by cutting the jeans to about knee length. Then I ripped open the seams on the inside of the legs.  I sewed them back to form a skirty shape and added lace.  I really like lace - it reminds me of church and Confirmation.

 The Hotel Normandie was the venue for the very informal  Easter at the Market fashion event. Some of Trinidad's local designers showcased their most recent pieces as the models glided gracefully down the staircase of the hotel's lobby. These designers include Ecliff Elie, Delia Alleyne and Lisa See Tai.  The pieces shown ranged from silky pops of color to dark, geometric patterns. Here are some designs:  My time at the show was short, as I had other things to do that day.  However, it was definitely time well spent at a very picturesque location!

City Color Mousse Primer review: Bargain beauty

-
Image
This photo is not mine I bought this item at a local beauty supply store (really can't remember the price).  This primer comes in a pretty small package (approx. 0.33oz) and has mild, sweet scent of jasmine. The product needs to be rubbed between the fingers before applying, as shown in the following video: Unfortunately, I didn't find this video until a few months after I started using the product. After I saw the video, I realised that I was using the primer wrong all this time. This photo is not mine The product is supposed to mattify oily skin and since that is my skin type, I put it to the test. On a hot day, the primer kept me matte for about three hours.  It lasted through the workday when the weather was cool. I would not recommend this product for those with very oily skin. You can check out the product on the City Color Cosmetics  website .

By now, you would have already heard of the five persons trapped and missing in the Titan submersible. Three of them paid a quarter milli each to take an underwater trip to see the Titanic.  Social media is filled right now with jokes and discussions about the whole situation.    My issue really lies with the use of all this money to go on "Gilligan Island"s Three Hour Tour". IYKYK. This  news clip  from BBC's Twitter account relates a little about the Titan's situation.       The Titan submersible, operated by Ocean Gate. Most millionaires and billionaires are known for going on expensive adventures that humble plebs like me cannot experience.   However, this one seemed to be a bit more risky than the regular island adventures and s3x parties. According to safety officials and other persons close to the victims involved, the submersible and the trip seemed to be doomed from the start. One person hired in the past let the Titan owners kn...
