Dressing without showing your big belly

Want to dress great without showing off your pot belly?Here are tips;


1.Avoid tight clothes and short tops.Tight clothes press your tummy  making your tummy spread along your waist line the muffin top type style

2.Invest on high waist jeans and skirts designed to hold your tummy firmly.Free flowing skirts that can also be worn on the high waist are also great as they don't show your pot belly.Try high low skirts/ dresses,maxi dresses that are also free flowing from the waist and can also be worn a bit from the belly.

Wear Highlow with a top that can be tucked in loose
and not with a short top

3.Avoid outfits that finish and begin halfway across the stomach, thus drawing more attention to the area. Layering a longer piece of clothing (blouse or T-shirt) underneath a shorter one will also give the illusion of a flatter stomach. A long scarf will also have the same effect.

4.The same single color block top and bottom will smooth and extend the body's overall silhouette and make a belly less pronounced. Add a contrasting colored coat or jacket over the top. Darker-colored clothing worn against the stomach will accentuate a bulging belly less. That doesn’t have to mean black, however, blue, charcoal gray, purple and burgundy are all stylish winter colors that pop.

Draw people’s eyes away from the stomach by wearing wide open necklines or detailing around the top half of the body.-By Boyendowed.

5.Avoid trousers that have big pockets and prefer the ones that have lateral zips. This will help you to hide your big tummy

6.Wearing a wide elasticated belt will  prove support for the stomach and provide you with a waist. Wear them over untucked tops.You can also tuck in loosely if you want to tuck in and still look great too

7.Avoid wearing jeans and trousers that are tight at the hip area and outsized at the base.

8.try  tummy trimmers/body shape wears that are worn inside to press and shape your body cormfortably.

you can still rock tights/jeggings but with the right flowy top

9.Get a nice fitting bra.A nice fitting bra creates a reasonable space between your bust and your tummy.

Semi Natural Hair

I've been on and off on braids  for about an year now can't remember the last time i retouched my hair as a result,my hair sought of grew out of the relaxed hair (not completely though)had a massive growth and i thought of trying something new

what i did:

Washed my hair using gliss shea cashmere shampoo

Available at Nakumatt

Conditioned my hair with miadi conditioner and deep conditioned using Lorys

Then used Motions leave in to keep my hair wet and soft

And finally used coconut oil to seal moisture and do my twist-outs that stayed overnight

Though i still think natural hair needs alot of care and time to deal with i have nothing against natural hair....

Shea butter is also great stuff for anyone transitioning though i haven't yet seen alot around cosmetic shops around Nairobi but heard that shea butter can be found at Healthy U stores(T-Mall,Sarit Center)

Alternatively i saw this at Ebrahims & Supercosmetics and i thought why not forget the "For Kids" part and its much cheaper & comes with a shampoo if you buy at Ebrahims

What's your thought on natural hair?
