Miss Mandy is the brainchild of Ruth Mandy Botes. A trained IT specialist, working away from home in Johannesburg was taking it’s toll on her.
“I grew more and more home-sick with every passing day. One day I woke up and decided to put on my big girl panties… I resigned, packed my belongings and a month later I WAS HOME 🙂 without any promise for employment! Stupid and Irresponsible, some would say.But here I was, in Jeffreys Bay, the place of dreams, as it is also known.”
So I know this really cool girl who has started a new business Miss Mandy Manicures… and she has agreed to share a DIY with Justellabella readers whoop whoop….here is how to do super funky tuxedo nails as well as tribal nails.
If you have ever seen an outfit post on here you are probably pretty aware of my fondness for Mr Price. I just find them soooo up to date with fashion it’s silly not to pop in every now and again.
I once went to a fashion show the Friday night and noticed the Saturday that Mr Price was stocking pretty similar things, they really have their finger on the pulse.
Their ONLINE STORE is pretty cool too, one of the easiest to navigate and it is updated with shocking regularity…
Tip for tiny feeted people like me, if you can’t find the shoe you want in store-size 3s are sold out first everywhere-you can probably get it online…
These are the ones I’m trying to decide between, they are all under R200 though so maybe if I won the voucher I wouldn’t have to choose. hehehe-prob not
You can though, if you click here WIN,WIN,WIN or on the picture,you stand in line to win a R2500 voucher to Mr Price so you can get your boot on, or your jacket on. . . .

So I’m embarking on what, natural hair enthusiasts call , a hair journey
It’s been a pretty long time coming….I’m not using any more chemical straighteners, and I am giving up the whole blowdrying, straight ironing side of my life for a-surprisingly not less trouble-wash and go look….
I’ll go through the whole rigmarole of smoothing it out for special occasions (when it is not raining) but for the most part this is me now….
I got tired of sitting for a minimum of an hour to get my hair done only to let the slightest sign of humidity (dude you could just put a kettle on) bring my hair right back to its curly self
So this is me now.. a mess of unruly curls which seems to evoke a range of emotions in the people I know…at the risk of generalising (which I am openly doing right now) the general consensus is that white people want to know if they can touch my hair,black people ask if it’s a weave and coloured people reckon I’m lazy and should “do” my hair ….
My hair isn’t 100% where I want it yet but I found this amazing blog moknowshair.com which is helping me along the way….
Wish me luck, will keep u guys up to date 😉
*PS the best part is sharing the curly haired gene with my Lil man (I’d kill for his curl pattern though)
