For the two decades plus a year and some months I've lived on earth, It has finally donned on me that I've been taking weekends for granted. Until now, I didn't get just how immensely important Saturday and Sunday was. My goodness! And oh! Let's not forget the joy of leaving work on Friday... Aaah! Friday is bae!

The day I wore this I was in a "closet full of clothing, nothing to wear" situation, but then I spotted my trusty 'ol rugged skinny jeans and paired it up this chambray shirt, which is actually for men, throwed my pink babies in the mix and voila! Problem solved!

 If you follow me on Instagram you know that I posted a sneak peak of what I have on today and said I'd be sharing on how to style that shirt you stole/borrowed-forever from your boyfriend ha! Is it just me or do you ladies also fancy wearing men's clothes? You realize, they happen to be absolutely comfy and though they don't exactly fit or flatter our frames, when worn right, they can turn out to be real sexy, even chic.

I'm yet to find a denim shirt that makes me happy, for now though, this chambray number works for me.

It has been said before, I'll say it again, denim is a way of life.

Have a fabulous weekend you beautiful human! TGIF!... Do people even use "TGIF" anymore?... Ha! Don't answer that.

Feels like it's been forever... Ugh! I missed this!!! And of course I missed you, my dear reader!

Ooooh my God! How have you been? How is the new/not so new month going for you?

Personally, I'm doing good. Well, honestly, I'm itching to vent haha! I badly want to share every detail of my life lately, how the corporate world is treating me, my experience in Nakuru so far... But I'm going to spare that for another day. I should probably schedule a "rambling post" to put up in the near future, I don't know.

It's true what they say, good things come in small packages! I'm absolutely in love with Maybelline New York's "Baby Lips"!!! Hence reviewing it today.

I've always been the type of girl who basically slathers Vaseline on her lips every hour to keep them moisturized, but ever since I started using Baby Lips I go for hours, technically up to the 8 hours as indicated on the package without feeling the need to reapply the lipbalm.

Without further ado...

The Review! 

I love the packaging!!! Besides being all cute, fun, colorful and so happy! I believe it's practical and provides enough information needed about the product.

Yasssss! It's scent is heavenly you guys!!! The subtle, but juicy cherry scent it has always makes me want to literally eat the lipbalm as I apply it on my lips! Thank God I'm not crazy enough to take a bite of the poor little product haha!

For a product so amazing, it's pretty cheap. It retails at Kshs. 270. I bought mine at Kshs. 290 though, here in Nakuru at "Nakuru Cosmetics Centre" which is next to Avenue Suites, Kenyatta Avenue. You can shop for this product on-line if you're in Kenya at Jumia.

"Cherry Me" is one of the many flavours of Baby Lips, it's said to be the most pigmented. As you can see it's a pink/rosy red tinted lip balm. I really like the fact that, unlike other lipbalms, it leaves a noticeable wash of glossy color {note: Wash will looks different from lip to lip}.

I've done a little research and found out that in Kenya, we only have two flavours, "Cherry Me" and "Hydrate". I hope our cosmetic shops will stock the others soon, because there are some flavours I wouldn't mind sampling.

It's quite soft despite being in bullet form and glides over lips perfectly. For hydration, I totally agree with what is said on the package. Of all the lipbalms I've used, I find it the most easy and comfortable to wear. It contains moisturising ingredients such as shea butter and honey, score!!!

More info on the formula is at the back of the package as seen below.

My verdict, I think this product totally lives up to it's hype and I'm going to buy it over and over... And over again.

Have you used "Cherry Me" before or any of the Maybelline Baby Lips ranges? What's your experience? Which lipbalm suits you and why?  Do share! :-)

Thanks a lot for stopping by and happy hump day!!!

I'm having... Pretty much the lamest weekend in history... Napping, stuffing my face with anything and everything edible, naaaapping and laughing!!! Laughing for no apparent reason, for the sake of it and oh! Sometimes simultaneously with the "laugh track" in one very funny comedy series I'm currently watching. Get this, I was done watching 6 episodes of "Cristela" last night, before I slept... Lord! If only people were getting paid for binge watching, I'd be rich y'all, stinking! I'm talking Forbes and all.

Yesterday was my brothers birthday, a great opportunity for me to take a break from being lazy and dress up! We had a happy, modest celebration to honor his growing a year older and dumber, It was lot's of fun and as much as I love to hate my brother {the feeling is mutual, trust me} it melted my heart to see him smile and have a good time.

You can never go wrong with a jumpsuit. No matter the occasion, there’s always a look you can pull off by wearing one! I created a very simple ensemble. The way I see it, a jumpsuit is a statement in itself, so I went easy with accessorizing by only wearing teal earrings and a few rings.

Jumpsuit - Thrifted | Earrings & Rings - Gifts | African Purse - My sister's {Similar Here} } Shoes - Paolo Corelli

Have a lovely productive week!... Or, on second thought, you can go on and be lazy like myself, "bone idleness" never killed nobody! Haha! 

Love & Light

"Coachella Dreaming" to be precise.

What I love most about Coachella, is the festival fashion, don't we all? I mean, woah! People bring it! 

As much as I didn't put any a lot of effort in coming up with this ensemble, I think it can pass for a Coachella outfit, right? Yes? No?... Dare say it can't! I will find you! Haha! 

I've been embracing black lately, I love the colour, mostly because it has sophistication, elegance, power and mystery written all over it.

Outfit Details:- Turban - My sister's | Bandeau - Thrifted - Forever 21 | Maxi Skirt - New Look | Sandals - Steve Madden | Sunnies -Menrad | Necklaces - Gifts

I hope April has been good to you so far. As much as I'm back, I'm not going to promise regular posting. I'll be joining the corporate world soon... Grown up much? Yeeeeeah! Lol! In early May and just to be real with y'all, I'll be prioritizing work over blogging for fun.

Enjoy the rest of your week! I leave you with this quote, "Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are, it solely relies on what you think."

Love & Light
