Looking for a new hair st yle? Tired of the same look? I have a few hair st yles that will complement each face shape best. There are a few different face shapes. Oval, long, rectangle, round, square, triangle, hear t and diamond. Why does your face shape mat ter? Because hair st yles are about having the per fect frame around one’s face to balance and compliment the overall shape of your face.

T h e ‘’m o n t h of l o v e’’ c a n b e t h a t w a y f o r s o m a n y reasons, such as loving yourselves, your friends, f a m i l y, j o b a n d yo u r s u r r o u n d i n g s / e n v i r o n m e n t . This month can also be focused on spending lots of money or putting in loads off effor t into something that can drain you, why not put effor t into the smaller th i ngs too! Here are some fun and easy examples of what you can focus on this month in the name of self-care and loving yourself:
- Drink more water - Me a l pl a n – d o e s n’t h ave t o b e a p a r t ic u l a r d ie t b u t go o d fo o d t h a t yo u e n joy cooking - Tr y c o ok i ng /t r y i ng s om e t h i ng n e w! - Plan cer tain par ts of the week where it can just be for you – instead of just g o i n g o n y o u r p h o n e b e f o r e b e d a n d c l a s s i n g t h a t a s ‘’c h i l l i n g o u t ’ ’ - Date yourself ! - Ta k e u p a n e w h o b b y, t r y s o m e t h i n g n e w ! - I f t h e n e w ye a r w a s n’t fo r yo u – s t a r t i n t h i s f r e s h n e w m o nt h , yo u c a n set yourself goals no matter how big or small it gives you motivation to do s o m e t h i n g ‘’p r o d u c t i v e’’
Also remember even if you are in a relationship, it is just as important (if not more), to focus on yourself and give yourself much needed 'me time' !!!
