9 REASONS YOU LOOK OLDER THAN YOU ARE

Ladies love to look good (sometimes extra glam) and the reason is usually to stay 'chic and young'  but sometimes, we overdo this and get it wrong aging ourselves in the process; God help any guy who guesses our age older!
There are several oopsies we make unconsciously but henceforth should avoid:
1) Wearing Your Hair Too Long
Oh dear, this never gets old, leaving our hair weaves flowing about isn't always chic especially when they are way to long, a classic bun/updo here and there gives our facial feature more prominence hence chic!
2) Dressing Too Young/ Too Old
We should always ensure to dress our age, a grandma in a body con for instance will look out of place; no matter how 'banging' her body is! Be age appropriate.
3) Ignoring Your Neck, Chest And Hands
In the quest to keep your face perfect, don't neglect your neck, hands and chest area, the neck for instance gives our age off easily ladies, take good care of the entire body as you would the face!
4) Wearing Too Much (or the Wrong) Foundation
Always check out the perfect foundation for your shade and do not overuse it!
5) Wearing Too Much Blush
Too much blush doesn't just look bad-it ages you! Go easy on them
6) Wearing Too Much Bronzer/Shimmer
Stay away from "frost" or "iridescent" eye shadow especilally if you want a youthful look, too much 'glitterati' ages you!
Don't keep this to yourself, share. *wink*
7) Not Using the Right Moisturizer
Always use the right moisturizer for your skin type, taking very good care of the skin makes it glow and consequently knocks years off you!
8) Dressing Too Trendy
Some  of us are guilty of this, we want to rock everything in vogue and end up overdoing it. Once something go out of trend we are left looking 'stale' oops! We can invest in classy, sophisticated pieces instead.
9) Being Nostalgic About Clothes
All the attachments we feel towards our favourite old dresses, tops, make-up and other skincare products should go! They don't fit anyways and its always good to de-clutter

Get Your Rich Aunty Vibe On!!!

  If you didn’t know, the official theme for this year’s Christmas is "Rich Aunty Vibes".         Last Christmas was a pandemic of who wore the longest Bone Straight hairs, but this year we seem to have embraced our “look-rich-to-feel-rich” culture even further with the maxi gowns and the headbands that scream it out loud. The Rich Aunty is that one aunty in everyone's lives (fictional or real) who radiates an affluent, sophisticated vibe with her fashion sense. There are simple ways to spark off that vibe on even the tiniest budget. Yes that's right you really don't have to rob a bank on this one cos we've got you 😉. Although most times it isn't cheap to look the part but if you follow these cues closely, you'll have a smooth transition to the Rich Aunty lifestyle in no time. 1. Bubu/Maxi gowns: The gown is of course the rich aunty starter pack, but it does not qualify you for the title just by wearing it. As stylish, sophisticated, and very fashion...
