I came across some new products from Primark on my last visits. I saw these pretty looking lip kits which they have named Get Lippy. They contain a lipliner and a liquid lipstick. The holographic one comes with gloss and a small pot of glitter. I also picked up their version of ben nye powders and various other products. Take a look at my video below to see swatches and all that I bought. Do let me know any Primark Beauty products I should try in the future. … [Read more...]
Leicester Carnival 2017
I attended Leicester Carnival with my children this year. I had it in my head that the park was just up the road from the train station. However it was more up the hill, a very steep hill. The moment we got on the train the clouds came rolling and the rains poured down with a vengeance. I was praying that the weather would improve but it did not.

It definitely had more … [Read more...]

Some of the calculators do show a high level of African … [Read more...]

Previous years the procession parade would dance into the city centre on Saturday followed by a family day on the park on Sunday. It is an event that attracts everyone from the oldest to the youngest members. I have attended Derby Carnival most years and you can just tell … [Read more...]
Comparing Ethnicity Breakdowns
Since doing my Ancestry DNA test, I find myself curious about the many new faces I am coming across. I am also interested to discover more about the communities that my ancestors once lived. It goes without saying that I am a descendant of Africa. More so West Africa. Different DNA labs breakdown your dna differently and often use different regional names, groupings and so on and so forth. From my first Ancestry video as well as discovering that my African percentage was very high I also learned a lot from the comments. Between Ancestry DNA Land and My Family … [Read more...]
