Accessorizing: Taking Your Look To The Next Level

Your reflection...what do you see when you look at yourself in the mirror before going out. Do you feel like you need a little something to complete your look? Well everything melanin to the rescue🦸😂

Ok so we can start from head to toe so we don't forget anything.

Hair Clips

I think hair clips are an underrated accessories I mean c'mon(in Costarican dude's voice 😂)I personally love hair clips especially since I like wearing my hair in natural hairstyles. But on braids too omg...I think it definitely can add a little cuteness to a fit.

Sunnies!! Very sophisticated and mysterious vibes😂. Honestly people who rock sunglasses are elite, on their own league I swear.

Earrings. I must admit I don't often remember putting on earrings but when I do its always a good idea. But I just feel earrings look so much better if you have multiple ear piercings.

Necklaces and chokers yaay! Yes, chockers are still in for me once in a while especially for just a casual fit it can take the look to a more sophisticated vibe y'know. I loooove necklaces though. Necklaces are definitely my everyday accessory from pearls to beads to silver and gold, everything goes(yes I'm somewhat of a poet😏😂) And yes we mix metals around here because why not?? You make the rules.

Watches and bracelets are definitely a must. But the trick I use is minimal bracelets. One or two on each or one hand can go a long way.

Rings. Well there is nothing minimal about rings because I mean we do have ten fingers😂. I love rings especially these cute plastic ones. Someone should plug me where I can get some or crystals .Midrings are cute too💕

Waistbeads are defo a vibe. The trick is to have some tight and some loose ones with different colors. They definitely accentuate your waist.(The tight ones can be a lighter color than the loose ones I think this makes your waist look smaller. Try it and lmk)

Anklets with open shoes definitely especially in a skirt, shorts or a dress which can be a simple look and an anklet can be the something extra you need.

Well this was a long one👀😂. But worth it I hope. Let me know your go to accessories @everythingmelaninblog on instagram let's communicate there and start our own little community. Have a nice day y'all. ENJOY😙

The Perfect Hair Washday

Washing your hair can be a daunting task. That's why when you do it, you should make it count. Set aside a day when you do not have anything else to do and make a playlist of your favorite songs. You can also make it a full TLC day. Do a body scrub after to get that hair product off your body y'know. Ok, step 1 make sure you have all your hair products ready, these include shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in conditioner and oil . Step 2 ,you can soften your hair with a conditioner(not deep conditioner) before you start to wash your hair, this helps with hair softening before you start the shampooing process which can prove to be drying to your hair. While applying the conditioner, put your hair in twists while either finger detangling or combing it through with a paddle brush or a wide tooth comb. This will prevent tangles during the shampooing process which is Step 3 . Before you apply shampoo to your hair make sure you completely drench your hair with wa...

True Crime Documentaries You Have To Watch

ID loversss gather here! First of if you know what that is you are definitely in the right place😂😂. I would say I am an enthusiast of true crime, y'know a normal amount( if you know me personally don't comment😅) Mostly because of curiosity I would say, wanting to know why people do what they do, and so far I've come across very interesting documentaries that all my true crime counterparts should check out. They have all the good components of a good documentary which I would list as good narration, interviews with family or people who knew the victims and if we are lucky, people who knew the perpetrator which it's always interesting to hear from their point of view. OK, enough yapping, onto the list! The Staircase ( Netflix ). Starting off strong with what I would consider to be my top 5 documentaries of all time. Murder or a tragic accident? I was quite surprised there was a discussion between the two after watching it. But I'll let you be the judge of that. ...
