    I saw this at Wonderful World and decided to try it because I wanted to get gel nails. At least I could try this gel like polish first to see how it looks. I applied two coats and took the photo below when the polish was dry. It looked smooth and glossy. I did not apply a nail polish top coat and checked to see how long it would take before it started to chip. The polish lasted two days without chipping. The verdict:  good to try for a temporary color at a low price.  However if you want a longer lasting manicure, it would be easier to just get a real gel manicure professionally done.

    I received these complimentary products from Influenster for testing and review. The Products 1.  The eye treatment should be used first after cleansing.  It is to be placed under the eye area. It contains hyaluronic acid and caffeine. 2.  The Concentrated serum should be applied to the entire face and lightly massaged. This contains concentrated hyaluronic acid. 3. The moisturizing day cream should be used in the morning and applied to the entire face. This contains hyaluronic acid and fibroxyl. 4.  The night cream should be applied on the face before going to bed.  This contains hyaluronic acid                                                    ...

  We would come together in her front porch, but not before gathering and preparing our early morning victuals.   Breakfast was varied, from fast food leftovers to deliciously fried eggplant and simple sandwiches.   Leftovers. View from front porch. Our conversation would glide lazily over different topics: current events, my big, fat work life and religion.  Roti. Coconut bake being made by mum.  Bentley's assorted teabags. I also took the time to think about my future and what I can will accomplish in 2016. Despite the assorted menus and discussion, one thing remained constant.  We savored the moments being shared. 

I enjoy recycling items as well as crafting. So when I saw some colleagues about to throw away some interesting looking toner cartridge packaging, I decided to save them to create something new. Items used: Toner cartridge packaging Hot glue gun Glue sticks Glitter dust Spray paint Multi purpose glue Poster board Corrugated cardboard approx. 1 sq ft Paintbrush Method  1.  Wrap the poster board over the cardboard and glue the folded edges. 2.  Use spray paint to cover the cartridge packaging. I used 2 coats of spray paint 3.  Apply glue in desired design on cartridge packaging. 4.  Sprinkle glitter dust on the glue while it is still wet. 5.  Use hot glue gun to attach cartridge packaging to poster board covered cardboard. 6.  Stick some fake flowers all in there. Your crafting is done!

We all know what a colossal sin it is to sleep in makeup - it clogs pores and can irritate sensitive skin. So it is important to get a reliable method of makeup removal. I tried quite a few makeup wipes and liquid makeup removers, here is a review of the three most recent items that I tried. 1.  Neutrogena deep clean oil - free makeup remover cleansing wipes. The Neutrogena wipes were moisturizing, however I usually had to use two or more wipes just to take off an average work makeup look.  Three or four would have to be used to take off a 'night out' or tutorial set of makeup.  This was also the most expensive of the three brands reviewed here. 2.  Perfect Purity facial cleansing and make-up remover towelettes. Photo courtesy www.deals.dollartree.com These were more affordable than the Neutrogena wipes.  The wipes got lathery, something I realized when I placed the wipe under a light stream of water.  I used one wipe on avera...

I finally visited the  Blue Basin store  at the Cruise Ship Complex a couple months ago.  This store specializes in selling products made in Trinidad and Tobago. So I was rather pleased to find homemade beauty products such as body scrubs, soaps and creams produced by Amara Organics . My purchases included Amara's sapodilla soap. You can see from the photo that the soap is brown, it is also lightly and pleasantly scented. This soap contains little exfoliating particles, a fact I discovered when I began feverishly scrubbing my stomach.  Ouch. However I found that it is rather moisturizing and I use it for my face and body. The only thing that bothers me is its dark brown color. This item, along with others from the Amara Organics range, is available at select stores which can be found on their facebook page. PS- Test item on one small area at first if you have sensitive skin.  Do not use if you are allergic to sapo...

Date: 29th November, 2015 Venue: Hotel Normandie. I found out that this RacKedTT event was actually one in a sort of series, which means I kinda missed the first couple of events.  Better late than never, right? So anyway, this event was a day long affair, with breakfast and a preview, followed by mingling among the designer displays.  Well, since I found out about this event very late, I didn't attend the breakfast and I arrived in the evening. Hotel Normandie has always been a cool place to visit for me. I liked visiting 1234 Art gallery and my 6th form Grad ball was held there.  Memories. The RacKed event is a fashion showcase where fashion designers come together to display and sell their creations.  There were also some food and craft items on display. MONK items on display at hotel.  This was not a part of the RackedTT event. I spoke to one of the designer...
