THE SMIZE

“Smize” is a term that was coined by Tyra Banks in 2009 on the television show “America’s Next Top Model”. Smizing means smiling with your eyes by bringing life to your eyes while keeping the rest of your face neutral.

I struggled to suppress my giggle but nailed it!

Synthetic BRAIDING HAIR may cause Reproductive Organ Toxicity & CANCER! Doctor reacts #braidinghair This is an educational and entertaining video about synthetic braiding hair for any brown and black women who use it routinely. #...

Proud to congratulate British Biafran, Chioma Nnadi as Vogue’s new head of editorial content. As a British Biafran – this makes so much sense to me. Fashion is one of those seemingly pointless pursuits in life along with music, dance, and art that one had to shove to the side while focussing on becoming a lawyer, doctor or any other sensible profession that would help put food on the table and pay the bills.

Chioma on 9 October 2023 took over from the amazing British Ghanaian, Edward Enninful who was at the helm for 6 years.

Born to a Swiss-German nurse mother and a Biafran father who came to the UK to study in the 1960s, Nnadi grew up in central London, working at magazines such as Trace and Fader as well as London’s Evening Standard.

Autumn sunshine and throwback to 2018

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON?

When I first moved back to the UK from Nigeria, I used to feel sad when summer gave to autumn. I could not make the distinction and to me, British weather was either summer or not summer. My favourite season is now spring. I like spring like I love Fridays - partly because it is the last day before the weekend. Spring is the season before summer. Anyway, I have learnt to love autumn too, especially for the colour. What I dread is the change to wintertime, but we have a few weeks to go until that happens.

I realise it has been a hot minute and all my social media has been neglected. I plan to post more regularly so hopefully more soon.

TINA TURNER 26 November 1939 – 24 May 2023

"It’s sad but true that at my age, it’s generally expected that I’ll be a dowdy dresser, more than a little thicker around the middle and feeling proud if I manage to get my recommended light exercise (aquarobics, walking, golf) three times a week."

Who else can relate to this article?

I'm a professional ballet dancer at 58 - most retire in their 30s I think the idea of a dancer as a young, super lean, hypermobile girl is changing – thank goodness.

I'm posting this with a heavy heart...😥😔☹

I am giving away all my hobby materials, as I no longer have the desire to do anything with them. It is a lot of work with very little recognition. I am extremely tired, and have very little time to use them ...😥

Saipan series: Watching the sunset at the beach before dinner and a magic show on 30 March 2018. Check out the Saipan series blog posts on the website.

I would love to visit Saipan and possibly Guam again. I also love this top. Every time I do a wardrobe refresh, I cannot bring myself to even entertain the thought of letting this top go. I have not worn it since 2018/19 and throughout the pandemic. I intend to change that shortly.

Lack of organised storage is a massive issue for fashion lovers. I have drastically cut down on shopping and only buy pieces that I love and feel I cannot do without. Even so, my wardrobe still requires editing, so I only hang on the pieces I absolutely love like this top.

How old do you think this top is? When do you think I bought it? Pop your guess in the comments section below.

Happy Easter everyone!

MYOKINES are produced during exercise and help to fight cancer.

"Exercise causes muscles to secrete proteins called myokines into our blood – and researchers from ECU’s Exercise Medicine Research Institute have learned these myokines can suppress tumour growth and even help actively fight cancerous cells.

A clinical trial saw obese prostate cancer patients undergo regular exercise training for 12 weeks, giving blood samples before and after the exercise program."

MEGAN's SO CALLED FASHION MISTAKES:

Hello everyone. I hope you are as well as possible in these difficult times. I hope to be back posting regularly soon but I thought I would share this with you. The British press seem determined to continue to shame Meghan Markle. I have looked through these so called fashion mistakes, and I don't think they are so bad.

How is everyone doing? I know it is has been a while. I have not posted a single blog on my website this year, but the good news is that it is back up. I have been hanging on to a vastly reduced exercise routing and thought I would share this funny post with you from my group wich I think is funny but wise too for those of us that are carrying extra lockdown weight.

AFROBEAT DANCE CLASSES: Hello lovelies! How is everyone doing? I hope fine. This treat is for those who can travel to Purfleet. But he also does private tuition for those of you who are interested.

Happy Sunday guys. I hope you are having a nice weekend. Here in the UK we have a Bank Holiday weekend which means we don't have to go to work tomorrow. Usually, I would go whoop, whoop at the thought of a short working week but I am self employed and a short weekend just means that I have to fit 5 days work into four. Hey, ho!

I have been trying to get in 10k steps a day and touch wood it is going okay. However, if you fall short of your steps a good way to catch up is to dance to a tune you love. Guys, I am loving this new Afrobeat track which you can check out by clicking the link.
Anyway, I have finished my Pilates class this morning and I am off to shower and then go out. Have a lovely day everyone 🤗

I wanted to do a post about sports apparel and noticed story trending. It is disturbing to say the least. Why did he need to manufacture a shoe using a drop of human blood? Why all the satanic references too? He is trending number one across the globe. I just hope that he is ready for the backlash.
