      Sewing curtains


I decided to make some living room curtains for Christmas 2013 using brown cotton and printed polyester cotton material.
I tie - dyed the brown cotton and got an unexpected colour, so I just went out afterwards and bought the printed polyester cotton to match the tie - dyed brown cotton. In the photo below, the tie - dyed fabric is above while the printed polyester cotton is below.




Then I measured the two different types of fabric to get similar widths.  They were pinned together before sewing.

The pieces were sewn together.

I hemmed around the edges of each curtain and sewed the folds on top so the curtain rod can fit through.  The finished product is seen below:

 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 .

Missing Billionaires Went to See the Titanic?

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...
