So hurry on to their websites, they are both having amazing sales and the clothes are to die for. PrettyLittleThing has 10% OFF and Asos slashed all their prices by 50% !

This is a more casual video, but I recently consolidated my makeup bag and wanted to share what's in my makeup bag for every day and travel! Only my most trusted beauty products make it into my cosmetic bag, because I need to be able to rely on ... so I hope you enjoy.

I was on my laptop scrolling through Youtube and basically getting lost in the online world when i started to notice videos pop up that were talking about having a Hot Girl Summer.

So what exactly is this trend? And how did it start?

If you don't know Megan Thee Stallion (real name, Megan Pete) she is a 24-year-old Houston rap sensation who released her first full mix-tape album titled Fever  earlier this year.


On the mixtape, Megan introduced the alter-ego of “Hot Girl Meg,” and when asked what a Hot Girl Summer means she said; "It’s just basically about women and men being unapologetically them, just having a good-ass time, hyping up your friends, doing you, not giving a damn about what nobody gotta say about it..."

So here are five simple ways to have a hot girl summer!

1. HAVE A SLEEPOVER WITH THE GIRLS



Nothing beats catching up on all that tea in realtime! While sipping some tea of course. I love flavoured green tea and fruit teas. You can make things fun by making it a skincare/spa session. These nose strips from ASOS and this charcoal mask by Banish! are perfect for a simple but thorough skin pampering session.

2. GET THAT SUMMER BODY


Getting back into the gym and breaking a sweat may not sound like fun but trust me, its great when you are with your girls. A group class would also help you all get a discount, and who doesn't like some saved coins?
If you are in Lagos, sign up for this FREE YOGA CLASS or try and find a GROUPON DEAL for the city you are in.


3. GO SOMEWHERE NEW

Travel doesn't always require a plane ticket. You can explore a neighboring city, or go on a road trip, Either way, just awaken the wanderess in you this summer. If you do want to travel this is my favorite website for tickets UNDER $700 .

How Will You be spending Your Summer?

The last time I was here I was a child. A malleable body, both broken and forming. I was a fluid thing, finding my way in the world like all the rest. Nothing has changed, yet nothing is the same. As I write this, I have lived 25 years in my body, bruised it and loved it and some days I want to run from it but I choose to get in bed and just hold it.


A lot has happened you see, a lot has happened to me. To this 25 year old vessel and the sugarcane loving soul that dwells within. Where do I even begin? How do I put the turning of the earth in mundane words. Cram all of this magic into letters that stand beside each others, stiff soldiers on a line.

Maybe screaming here will help. Bleeding here. Dying here. Like all beautiful things, I must burn to be reborn. Maybe that is why I am here again, looking for a part of me I lost, for a lost slipper, a trace of my childhood.


Pray with me please, pray for me that I let myself get lost in the journey.
