Blue Suede Shoes...

 
I don't have anything to blog about, so I figured I may as well show you my most recent purchase (as well as my mother's bag I wish she would let me steal). Yeah. Cobalt blue fringed desert boots. Why not? Sticking to the status quo is just not appealing all the time. Indeed it is not.

Adios!

Summertime, and the livin' is easy...

... But of course we took pictures! I am pleased to introduce Ope as the latest member of the natural crew!!!! Isn't her haircut just awesome? Trying to get her not to grow the hair at all and just become the next Amber Rose (bar the slutty job).

Erm... yeah. So like I said, I should be doing work. But something about the serotonin released from the sun has got me way too happy to think about things as CRUCIAL as work. Oh goodness.

This post does not warrant a title. It's just fabulous in itself...

... Except... Urm... The video still doesn't do all our fabulousness justice. Oh dearie...

The only explanation for this video is the fact that the sun is out today, thereby making us do/act crazy. Do bear with us!

The Procraspiration...

Alas, 'tis the weekend. I am typing away in my friend's room, because, in an act to try and get something substantial done during our weekend of birthday fun, I have brought my 'work' with me so I can laze about watching episodes of The Good Wife do some catching up. But no, I'm rounding pictures that I like up to show you lovely people of blogsville. Times like these, school work loses all appeal, and... yeah...

1.) Living a dream is the only way to live. Really. 2) School kids prancing about the neighbourhood. I just love it. Plus I'm obsessing over black and white photographs these days... 3) possibly the best list ever made. nom nom. 4) I love how she looks like a modern day Zelda Fitzgerald. I want to become a flapper so bad, it hurts my intestines. 5) Need I explain? 6) Why yes, that is indeed me looking like... I don't know. You can decide.

Northerners in the South// A day in the life...

So it was the best friend's birthday last week. Seeing as we are pharmacy students with workload amounting to... (oh goodness knows, but think big, like, biiiig) 

... She was unable to go birthday shopping, which has been our tradition since we were wee teenagers. So we decided to go today, spend money, and just have a jolly time. Except I was just meant to go along and not make any purchases, because a) my birthday has long gone, b) I shouldn't really be buying things because I am learning the concept of frugality and c) well... there is no c, but I couldn't very well stop at b now, could I?

  

The lipstick stain is faint, but it was her first one ever, so we're commemorating the occurrence!

Anyhowzzz, we both got cameras from the parents as birthday presents (they got us the same cameras, incidentally... LOL. Even our parents have decided to continue with the cloning...), and have proceeded to have fun with them ever since.I'm rather camera happy as this is my first camera EVER, so i'm just a lowly amateur. Do bear with me.

But ohhh we had fun. and alas, I could not stop myself from making two cheeky purchases. Life, oh life.
Happy Friday!

Hello there...

 

You like the greeting? Please tell me you do. Saw it whilst meandering through le tumblr (which I have yet to grow weary of, SURPRISINGLY), and thought you blogger(ettes) would appreciate a bit of German wit this beautiful Tuesday.

Not that the weather is anything to write home about, but... You get my drift? No? Okay...

I realised, whilst looking through zees blog, that I haven't gushed about my Christmas presents which I mentioned in my wishlist. Since I told you Jesus loved me, and that I hoped to get some of the things on my list, I figured it only appropriate to come back and brag show you my belongings!

Yep. You are seeing this correctly. I did fulfil my dreams of acquiring a vintage camera. It's a Praktica, not a PENTAX, but after extensive research, I realised that this German (haha) competitor is also a good 'un. Bought it, only to find the battery cell corroded, and... yeah... haven't used it yet. Welp.  But I will soon, because I have found a place to get these elusive batteries! Strike, score, WIIIIIN!

More so, in other non - related news, I am also traipsing around the entire universe looking like...

 

... Zees at the minute. Braided/twisted up, in a random turn of events. Happened on Sunday. I kind of like it. Makes me look like one of those non-sulfate-non-anything-that's-not-natural-product-junkie naturalistas (I am yet to part with my sulfates...Meh... YOLO)

Oh, and since this post is tres random, this is what my ears are mclovin' at the minute also...

 

She's all sorts of amazing. Good Lord. Particularly love the acoustic sesh-vibes of the second song. Beaut!

Okay, so... I think that is all for now. Goodbyesss!
xoxo

Flare me up...

Sunday. Wake up. Sun's [sorta] shining. Reach for ridiculous flares that make you look like an extra on That 70s Show. Walk out the house in heels that make you resemble Shaq's twin sister twice removed. Get to church. Have an amazing time in God's presence. Dance the thoughts of 9-5 lectures away. Get home. Reach for the camera and have a spaz - photo sesh with best friend.

... Life is too short to do normal things like homework. Yeah I said it!

Lol. Happy Sunday beautiful people!

Humans and Mortality...// RIP Whitney Houston

Currently jamming to these tunes whilst doing some uni work catching up with the latest edition of Vogue. I know I know, I'm off to study and become famous, you don't worry.

I still cannot get my head around the fact that Whitney Houston is dead; in my mind, celebrities are immortal. Or at least that was what I thought. It grieves me to know that such a phenomenal, well rounded talent is lost to the world. But as usual, her art succeeds in leaving us with a smidgen of who she was and what she stood for whilst she was on this here earth.


<Sidetrack>, her outfits gave me so much life. Next to the Banks' wardrobe, Whit's clothes from The Bodyguard have plagued many of my dreams till this day. And that wispy bob!!!!



... Finally, my inclusion of Sade's 'Your Love is King' is in no way related to the love holiday. No ma'am.

...Unless my psyche is playing games with me.

Aloha!
xoxo

The perfect song for a winter's night, summer afternoon, autumn midday. Basically, this right here is just a perfect song. C'est fini.

APOLOGIES on the lack of posts! Going through life, university work, and... well... life really. Will try to post as often as I can!

Love and Badu's turbans,
xoxo

Constantly Living in Retrospect// Christmas Wishlist...

Hi guys. 

So. 

IT'S LIKE, Six days till  CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!

Please forgive me for these outbursts. I honestly cannot control myself where Christmas is concerned. I am a self confessed, happy-about-it, walking-about-wishing-people-merry-christmas-from-October Christmas junkie. Don't really know why or how I became this obsessed with the month of December, but I have always been excited about it. Despite my very loving mother and father's attempts at crushing my dreams of Santa's... errr... existence at a very young age, I was adamant that Santa was in fact, real. No ma'am, I did not buy the story of Santa not being real. The power of my imagination has been this way from a wee age, you see.

...Anyhoo, since 'tis the season to be jolly and giving and smiling at random grumpy strangers at ASDA, I figure I may as well let cyberspace know what I would like my sock to be filled with this beautiful month of December...

1. A Vintage Pentax Camera: Because, I have never owned a swanky camera before, and I remember my dad having one when I was a kid (at least I think it was a Pentax), and because they just exude super coolness. And because it's vintage. Go figure.

2. A Barbie (or otherwise) Polaroid camera: As mentioned earlier, I just really want a camera this year. I have ALWAAAAAYS wanted a polaroid. Like, always. Came across this beauty on ebay and I immediately thought: SANTAAAA!!! *giggles*

3. A Dora the Explorer watch: Simply because... well... Every cool person owns a Dora watch, and, I mean, the girl is an explorer. Currently going through a wanderlust season - I want to explore the world. Starting with Britain. So having this courageous little lady on my wrist is a good start, si? non?

4. Dr Martens floral (men's) brogues: Because my allegiance to the Doc has not waned one little bit. Just changed its course. Yep.

5. A Denman brush: Since all the naturalistas rant and rave about it, I may as well as well try it out on my mane. Although I'm quite scared of all my curls ending up on the brush... I'm afraid the science of its effectiveness is lost on me... But we'll see what happens!

6. Jazz compilation cd: Does one ever need to explain their want/need of a jazz disc set? Me no think so.

7. A TRUCKLOAD OF BLOOMIN' CREEPERS IN EVERY SHAPE, SIZE, COLOUR OR FORM: Cuz I aint mad atcha honey thang. If that made sense to you, then find me and befriend me. Merci.

Okay. I shall stop myself here, as I am suddenly aware that I want a lot of things. Now, do bear in mind that  I am merely thinking out loud, and all these things will only present themselves if I a) marry Obama the second, or b) one of those rich Arab tycoons who own like five football clubs, or c) if I am stupid enough to acquire a credit card and then go crazy with all that virtual cash...

... Which is NEVER going to happen. But somehow, because Jesus loves me like, LOADS, I will get some of these things on my list. I am almost sure of it. Maybe not for Christmas, buuut... mehh. Soon. Just watch me!

Yeah. Materialistic rant over.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Frospiration What Whattt....

In appreciation of all the kinks, curls, waves, coils. naps, 4c, 2z, 13v textured 'fros out there in the world. Long, short, medium, haloed, WHATEVER. I love you all!

And am I the only one jizzing over the fact that Solo's blog is back up? YOUCH! 

Why can't this just be my life? Whhhhhhy????

It's a miracle!...

So... It seems I am back at this blogging thing. One minute my posts are sporadic, next minute, I'm posting, like, daily. Weird stuff.

Anyhoos. As you may/may not be aware, someone/something has sent us Brits some sun, albeit randomly, given that we are supposed to be ushering autumn in and getting ready for winter. But alas, the weather has remained within the 25-28 degrees range. AND I'M LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE! Youuuch! I have milked it all in these past few days, so, should our luck change tomorrow, I won't be as grumpy as usual about the gloomy British weather...

Not to mention, my hair just decided to be all fabulous and look all pretty and whatnot. Ahhhh I know some people find taking care of their 'fros so tedious and... well... tedious, but I kinda like it. Never have I taken so much care of my hair before. So I'm lovin' it! (Yup... McDonalds theme tune indeed)


Plus, my hair has groooown! I was playing with it and doing all these updos and whatnot... and my my myyyy am I happy or what!

Daily haircare routine:

Up until recently it was just shea butter, and then a spray bottle containing water and olive oil. But nowww! ohh I have stepped up you know, my spray bottle now contains carrot oil, tea tree oil, and castor oil as well as the olive oil and water. My hair be lookin' all shinyyyy!
Oh, plus I have this coconut and almond leave in conditioner from Boots as well. I feel like a true 'naturalista' now!


Okay... That is all for now I guess.

Shmoodle-oo!

Keeping Up Appearances...

Hello there world. My name is Sharonda Cantiquiesha Williams. But you can also call me Superwoman. And I own this blog.

Urm... I've been away for awhile, so I thought to come back with random pictures of myself and the 'fro. Quite excited as you can tell from the shoddy photographs.

Yeahh, I'm just bored/ having fun with my laptop. Hence the photo sesh.

Let's hope I don't disappear again.

Toodles!

P.S: Those aren't really my names. LOL.
