Exams, Lazy Headbands and My Ugly "Just Woke Up" Face

Today marks the first day of my final exams, in about a months time I'll be a 3rd year Marketing student. So I was supposed to post a blog post that I promised everyone, about a creative mind that I had a photoshoot with Saturday, but since I want it to be perfect I've been working on it and therefore I will only post it when I feel it's worth gold. Since I did not want to abandon you all, I decided why not update everyone on what is going on in my life, which is nothing, but exams. Today I started with a "Consumer Behaviour" exam, which was okay. wouldn't say "great" because only started studying the night before (not advised).
Today I was feeling lazy (nothing new there) so I just put on this red dress which I tucked into my high waisted shorts, and since I gained a few pounds I kind of like covering up my behind, which is why I put this shirt around my waist, and it actually didn't look bad at all. As for the grey headband, I was just too lazy to properly comb my hair. You can get the headband for only R50.00 at Woolworths.


 





So since I did not sleep last night studying for today's exam, I'm pretty exhausted. So I just wanted to update everyone that I'm still alive and wish everyone else goodluck for the finals.
I feel like I am cheating everyone with this post as it really is the laziest post I've actually put up and for that I am going to post an ugly pic I just took for your amusement, forgive the smudged eyeliner just woke up haha.

 

Well have your laughs :D

Till next time ♥

Make-up star in the rising, A Complete Make-Over and Get to meet my girls

Hello everyone. As I am writing this post I am super excited, because I get to introduce a new vlogger to the scene (but I'll give you the details later on in the post). So today I was blessed by the company of my two good friends, Abongile Fongoqa, to my left and Mashudu Raedani, on my right.


Abongile, Tabela, Mashudu

I've known these two beautiful ladies since last year, as we all started our first year in Marketing and we've been friends ever since. Abongile is an aspiring YouTube Make-Up star (will give the link to her channel once her "under construction" channel has been updated) and Mashudu is a part-time model, talk about being surrounded by fabulists. So we just chilled today, while eating dried peaches (bless my tummy), and as Abongile brushed up her already perfect make-up skills using Mashudu's beautiful face as her canvas.
One thing stood out when they started with the make-up and that is when Abongile used a razor blade to tweeze Mashudu's eyebrows, as Mashsudu does not like plucking, that is where we are clearly different as I find pleasure in pulling out my eyebrows with tweezers (One step closer to enjoying S&M, mom if you're reading this I'm just joking haha).

Since I am annoying Miss "Take a photo of everything" I had a ball taking pictures of Mashudu's concealer covered face, and Abongile hard at work.


Beautiful even with a whole face messed with concealer

This morning Mashudu looked entirely different as she did not even have the weave on, but Abongile being being Miss "Pimp it all" took it upon herself to pimp Mashudu's head and bedazzled it with the hottest weave. So after a good few hours being with these two lovely ladies, the hair was done, the make-up was perfected and my good friend looked like the Princess she is (I told you Abongile is Miss "Pimp it all")

This was just my day basically, chewing away on dried peaches and watching beautiful ladies perfect each others faces. A special thanks to the two extremely beautiful ladies for turning my quiet day into a glam filled one. Don't forget to watch this space for a link to the gorgeous Abongile's YouTube channel.

So how about you share pictures of your fabulous friends?
Till next time ♥


My day: Outfit, Nerves, Library Goodluck wishes and The presentation

This is a fairly long post if you're not into reading then my sincere apologies :). So to those who are friends with me on Facebook may have stumbled across a status I wrote last night about having to prepare for a presentation for today. Usually feeling nervous before a presentation is not my thing but this time around my stomach was in knots. So I woke up and decided not have any breakfast (Which was not a good decision) but instead just drink hot water with lemon slices as I usually do in the mornings (note: I am not doing this to lose weight as many people may think, but for my skin). Now a mistake I did was sleeping late and so I woke up drained and had to rush to campus so I just pulled out the first items that were peeping from my wardrobe, I went for these pants (don't know what colour they are LOL) this cute white shirt, a pair of black Chuck Taylors and I am not proud to say that I didn't put ANY effort on the hair *cringes*.

♥

So on my way to the library to prepare (yes even more, I'm a perfectionist okay) I "kinda sorta maybe" bumped into someone, no not my boyfriend (cause I don't have one) and we started chatting, I have to say the conversation just came naturally which is rare in my case when someone makes me nervous, so he wished me goodluck, which I guess instead of calming me down it just gave me flutterbies (the cartoon way of saying butterflies, forgive me haha), but I won't be getting into detail about this guy as he may just stumble upon this post and think that I'm a creep, therefore topic sealed.

So going back to the topic of my outfit, I don't usually accessorise but today I donned a couple of rings, I think this has been my latest obsession actually. I just love how "girly gangster" it looks when you wear multiple rings at once, what do you guys think? YAY or NAY? The rings are in silver and I got them from Mr. Price for about R3O.OO and they came in a packet of about 8 or 10. Bless them.

So this was rather a long post and if you have read this far then I am thankful. So of course as you have read there was nothing interesting about my day but this was to share more about my day before the presentation. By the way this was a Marketing presentation, so after I shaked, shivered and sweated my lecturer said "Well done, you're about the only student who wasn't reading from your notes. Fairly interesting presentation" (Well this was before the exchange students presented). Kind of expected my lecturer to say "OMG Tabela you're so fabulous, guuuuuuurl, you did yo thang and you deserve 1OO%", or am I pushing it haha. Just to show how long the presentation was below is the file I kept all of the notes.

 



 So this was my day how was yours? Do share!
Till next time ♥

How to be a successful YouTuber?

Before I started my YouTube channel I think that "How to be a successful YouTuber" is something I researched on a lot, not because I wanted to be YouTube ''famous'', but simply because I wanted to deliver quality content for my subscribers. So after weeks of procrastinating on starting the channel (because that is what I do best), and because I don't own a laptop to edit  my videos with, I finally made my first video which got me to 10 subscribers (I am now on 17 subscribers, and fairly happy with that number) and it is now on 301+ views.
To be honest I don't think that I've enjoyed doing something as much as I enjoy filming and editing videos for YouTube. Then I just came to a stop (not really a stop more like a break) on making videos for YouTube because I can't edit them due to a lack of resources to edit them, in simpler terms I don't own a laptop. Reason I don't own a laptop is because my mother has been promising me a laptop now for months (resisted the urge to write it out as mooooooooonths). So you're probably like, err well if you don't own a laptop how come you own a camera and tripod in order to record the videos, well my father got me the camera last December before he found it appropriate to desert me and act like he no longer has a daughter (my life is pretty hard, but that's a story for another day). For now I'm just putting up this post to let the masses know why I'm taking a break on YouTube and why I am neglecting my blog. So till next time... Ciao♥

D.I.Y: Katy Perry and Lana Del Rey inspired FLOWERCROWN headband

A few seconds ago I posted about flower crown lovin' and all, I also added a link to the video on the blog, but to those who don't read to the bottom of blog posts here is the video:

Spring and Flower crown lovin'

Finally Spring in South Africa is no longer "around the corner" or "knocking" but it has now entered. Boy am I excited (I'm sure you can tell just by me using the word 'boy', haha). Well since I am a self proclaimed Tumblr girl, not the thigh gap (although I would appreciated one), curly Ombre-Hair obsessed girl, but I'm the type that finds inspiration for tomorrows outfit on Tumblr type of Tumblr girl. Now if you follow all the type of blogs I follow you probably get exposed to thousands of Tumblr posts on flower crowns donned by the likes of Lana Del Rey and lately Katy Perry made the look hers on her new song, ROAR. So of course I have to confess that in South Africa we are kind of fashion backward, not because we don't know how to dress but because we get to experiment with these fashion trends months after America has worn them, and what is to blame the difference in seasons at different times of the year.

Anyway I kind of skidded off topic there, so with Spring here I found it as the perfect opportunity to let my Tumblr girl side free, so I went online, well in all honesty I'm always online, and I surfed the internet for Flower crowns and my first reaction was "OMG, Why are they so expensive", so being the creative I am I decided to make my own "YAAAAY", and it literally cost me less than R50.00 to make it compared to the R500.00 I would have spent.

And not to be selfish I decided to share the video with all of you other Tumblr Hipster at heart girls out there. Hope you all found this helpful, till next time ♥.

So here are the two flower crowns I made aren't they lovely? Well as promised here is the link to the video D.IY: Katy Perry and Lana Del Rey inspired Flowercrown headband
