Twist braids have always been a personal favorite of mine. It was faster to braid which meant less time at the salon and it was easier to take off but not when its alot on the head.
Then came along box braids. It's like being transported back to the 90's and the days of Patra. Thicker and longer than their twists colleagues; box braids hit every social network from Pinterest to Instagram.
I went on a 3km run this morning after slacking for 2 weeks and gorging on bacon, cheese and all kinds of sausages insanely within that period. I am ashamed. But i have repented.

Feeding wedding guests can be more expensive than most items on your wedding list. Especially for a Ghanaian wedding & engagement. Why wouldn't it when a wedding can start from breakfast time all through to dinner time? People get hungry and trust me you don't want to have hungry guests on the most important day of your life.

It was one of those hot days where all you wanted to do was either have a chilled glass of coke (which I had sworn not to drink this year) and just chill beneath the swirling ceiling fan. I told myself after changing from my Sunday best that there was no way my twist braids was going to hang around my shoulders or have it anywhere on my skin.
