Voodoo beach with the nebraska boy, Austin :)

After 5 years of not seeing each other (him in u.s and i, s.d then back to Gambia) u'd think things would be awkward between us after he got back because we hardly talked, him being an aku pikin and having the aku mentality, u know, save money lol and me? im just bad..i cant seem to pick up the phone and call anyone! skype i will though..LOL! guess this puts me n my friend in the same category. Anyways, he gets back n we picked up were we left off like back in high school and this makes me happy because most friendships would've fallen apart...
We do have our moments on the phone,  i'd be 'opal and way too dramatic' as austin would put it and him, calm, will be like 'R u done'?? LOL!! kills me..urgh!
Anyway back to the subject...i decided to voodoo him this sunday 13/3/2011...i mean voodoo beach in kololi my loves lol since the poor boy hasn't been to a beach in like forever and it was awesome!
Too bad we couldn't swim cuz the waves were huge and the red flag was up which apparently is a warning that it isn't ok to swim so austin n i found our 'spot' on the beach, ate a rotten apple LOL! laughed at some guys who were tryna get their kung fu panda on and chilled like old times :) check out the pics
aww...look at the sushi lover!! isn't he a cutie?

Despite the sun, the was quite chilly hence the hoodie :)
Can y'all make out debbie downer aka the red flag in the pic?? LOL


Having a house by the beach is one of my many targets..amen!
Check out austin getting his baywatch on!! u go austin..woohoo!! LOL


Our footprints :)

Im not wearing ragged jeans today..My mum is happy!

LOOL!! im in love with ragged jeans! i mostly wear 'em with heels and a tee when going to work..yes work! My mum  and big sister HATE my ragged jeans..They don't get it! My sister is like 'i hope this is just a phase you are going through'.. Dressing up isn't a requirement in my field of work i keep telling them...that totally kills my mum when i say it! LOL she's cute... Anyway..yes..heels aren't comfy for site so when im going there, i trade in my heels for a pair of sneakers ( :( life of a technician)

Anyway its friday today and im wearing a bright african outfit..MY mum LOVED it! She was like 'janha yangi nice!' That made my day!! So i decided to write a post about it because i don't wanna forget her compliment..hehe

I heart Eyelash Extensions!!



Yes..i totally adore the falsies!! I love how they open up your eyes,i have chinky eyes so this works in my favour and how they really make ur make-up pop!  I gotta confess that i used to hate them, infact i only started using eyelash extensions like 2 weeks ago! LOL and now im a strong believer in them!
If done right, the resulting look can be quite alluring but if done wrong..ladies, its all wrong!




I think the secret to getting it right is to finding the length that suits your face. I go for the short because i feel its more 'natural' (check the pics above) but there's medium, long, extra long and there's this, check out foxy brown...
They totally overpower her eyes..Big eyelashes make your eyes appear smaller and off-balance so girls you see ummm..length does matter! Get the right one for you. Check out jennifer lopez below rocking hers!


I get mine done by this adorable guy called david, he is a total professional and i absolutely trust him. Its very important you get your extensions done by a reputable salon or person because eyes are very sensitive and easily damaged. I've heard rumors that some people use hair glue for their eyes!! All i can say is, whoever does that is brave and risking alot! Lets do it the right way or not do it at all huh??
