CAN I TOUCH YOUR HAIR?

Every time I have my hair braided anywhere outside Africa, I get lots of stares. Am I the only one this happens to? Not that I'm upset, on the contrary, I like the fact that people are curious as to how I attached a waist long braid to my less than 10inches of hair. So, I was at the bus stop waiting for a bus (obviously) and I notice this guy staring and smiling at me. At first, I keep a straight face because I was just really knackered but since he kept smiling, I decided to smile back. Then he said 'I really like your hair' and of course, after having four women on my hair at the same time for about 6hours, in my mind I'm going 'you better like it, all this pain cannot be wasted'. But I only mouthed a 'thank you' and a big grin on my face. The next thing he goes, 'I'm sorry, can I touch your hair?'. Call me weird but I don't mind people touching my hair (with the exception of my natural hair. that takes too long to lay still). So, I let him praying he didn't yank it off. He didn't  Thank God. Anyways, the morale of this story is that there is no morale. Just a story of a black girl with her waist length braids.

In other news. I saw a picture of a girl wearing a dashiki and I told my mum I wanted one, so we went around Lagos looking for one and when I saw this yellow and blue design, I was in love. What do you guys think?

Répéter?

Have you ever loved something that you couldn't wait to wear it again and you actually didn't wait? Well, that's what happened to me today? I wore my favourite skirt "at the moment" again. I went for a really casual look with it because I was just going to do a little shopping and have lunch with a very good friend. My mum was my photographer today, how did she do?






My friend got me this absolutely beautiful bangle today and I just had to put it on right away! It was just too beautiful! Yayy to awesome friends! Lol. What do you guys think of it?
