More festive nail art inspired by Christmas and Essence
I’m going to be honest (because It’s my blog and I can if I want to), my brain has morphed into a big ball of mush recently.

The ABC’s of buying a second hand car
I am in the process of buying a second hand car but, let me tell you, I sometimes feel like ditching the car and buying a bicycle instead! Not that that would ever happen. I mean, a bicycle would do nothing for my hair. There is just SO much to consider when purchasing a preowned vehicle though. It doesn’t help that society seems to think that girls and cars don’t go together. That kind of thinking is so last century. Watch me find that car, change ownership onto my name and source super duper cheap car insurance all by myself! And you can too! Here’s how: -
