I Love this Hair!
I did a video of the hair on me, in motion and said most of everything I have to say about the hair in the video, so just feast on these pictures below and then, watch the video which is at the bottom of this post.

I did my makeup to look Christmas-y and I love my "santa-hat".




Ideal Hair Art delivered the hair in great timing and I LOVE THIS HAIR so very much. The closure blended in well with the hair and I did a complete sew-in. NO glue used.



Makeup done with BH Cosmetics 120 Palette (1st Edition).


So much smiling!

I love Christmas because Jesus is the reason for the season!



P.S: 
IDEAL HAIR ARTS have been kind enough  to give my readers a little discount if you email them at Sales15@020hair.com and mention "TheDIYLady" before you finalize your order.

Thanks for visiting y'all.
I Pray you have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
If I get time to do my nails for Christmas, I'll certainly blog about it. :-D

In the mean time.. here's a nail shot with my goofy Christmas-y face!

Take care!
Till Later, God Bless.

You know, there was a time in my life when I would nearly GAG at the thought of wearing anything "Gold colored". I was just anti-gold accessories and whatever looked gold.
BUT now, My closet has certainly gotten a face lift! I find myself being drawn to golds and I must say I like how they look against my skin tone. What do you think?



Makeup was minimal. So minimal in fact, I will tell you I only have my Bella Terra Powder on and my eyebrows were tamed a bit. . I felt like my outfit was loud enough and didn't need extra stuffs going on with my face.

 Talking in between pictures. lol...


The yellow skirt kind of freaked my camera out a bit. BUT I Love this skirt. the fit, the length, and the color! Just perfect!


Happy Selfie!



Boooo yahhh

Up close of the necklace, bangles and watch.

Tired of pictures? Be Glad I didn't post them all. lol...


And that's it y'all. :-)

And uhmmm... skirt and top was thrifted! Did you guess right?
Combined price? Less than $10.

Here's what my full outfit looked like.
Long dresses are a blessing when it comes to wheelchairs. One doesn't have to worry about accidentally flashing people (as the case may be when in short dresses). Although, I almost always wear tights with short dresses.


My dad mentioned that my dress had a "bollywood" feel to it. And I must agree it does now that I look at it again. LOL.. I guess all those Bollywood movies I watch that now inspire my wardrobe.
Another interesting fact: I LOVE BOLLYWOOD MOVIES!



I had so much fun with the boyfriend at the wedding and I wish the couple a wonderful life together filled with Happiness and God's Blessings.

SO much fun that I uhmmm... even tried my first cuban Cigar...

Ok Ok.. Just Kidding!!!!
I Only posed for a picture with the cigar at the wedding. Lol..


I'd like to THANK my awesome boyfriend for taking this fabulous pictures of me.
Actually HE TOOK a whole lot more than these, but Y'all know the drill.. You take a thousand pictures, and post only 4 out of the bunch. LOL..

I really thank him for being so kind and patient that he indulges me in my photo requests whenever I get dolled up. He loved my dress too though, so I actually didn't have to beg for these pictures to be taken. haha...

Alright sugars. That's it for now. :-D
Hope you have a wonderful weekend and if you're Christmas Shopping, have fun doing that!

Till later, God Bless.

Swatches in this post are 3 thin coats.


I'm not used to holding polish bottles with nails as long as I currently have.. so I was trying different things. The longer nails hindered my regular polish holding style.

But I managed to still get some polish holding shots. :-D


This is quite possibly my fave picture below.

Oh but I kind of like this picture below too.
(note the thumb?), It got done because I wore this mani for about an entire week. GOOD wear time!! Minimal tip wear, and the fingers I didn't mess with had no chips. (I mess with polish on my nails after 3 days, I always itch to change color)

And a final look at this gorgeous blue!


I love this polish! I'm so glad I got to wear it again after such a long time!

Hello Sugars.

The year sure flew by now didn't it?

That's it for now.
Enjoy Shopping y'all.

P.S: Don't forget to enter my current giveaway HERE. Lots of goodies to be won. 

The nail art was done with all Zoya Polishes, and I started with a base of Raven, then I layered Mosheen over it, and I stamped the stripes on top using Zoya Purity. 



If you don't already own Blue By You, I suggest you run to grab it! It's so beautiful in person.

P.S: Speaking of Zoya, are you aware that they are currently running their FLASHPROMOS?

The flash promos kinda helped me build the amazing Zoya Polish Collections I have. I know it can be nerve wracking stalking Zoya on all of their social media pages, BUT I tell you, the joy that comes from snagging a complete FREEBIE or a Great Deal is certainly worth it.

Make sure you're following Zoya to stay update:  Facebook | Twitter | Live | Blog | Instagram | Website

That's it for now sugars.
