Himba Women - A Tribe of Natural Beauty

Known to be the true beauty of the world, Africans have always created a style of which has been unique. Recently I ran across a webpage about life in Africa and seen some of the most creative and beautiful woman I have ever seen.

Himba Tribe is a tribe located in Namibia, which is apart of Southern Africa. Natural beauty at it's finest. The women usually cover their-self with a mixture called otijize which is of butter fat and ochre. It is said that it is to protect themselves from the sun. What the otijize does is give their skin a reddish tint, which symbolizes Earth's rich red color and the blood that symbolizes life, this is consistent with the Himba ideal of beauty.

If you notice, the women have something in their hair. Unique enough, the women braid each other's hair with plastic hair and then cover it in their ochre mixture.

Beautiful. Love and embrace our ancestry. Look how beautiful their skin is...

BLAC CHYNA GIVES BIRTH DURING MANNEQUIN CHALLENGE

So everyone is doing the new video challenge called, The Mannequin, where everyone freezes in the video. So Blac Chyna thought it would be cool to do it while being in labor. Hmmm... Okay, well not literally. However, shortly afterwards, Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian welcome a beautiful baby girl, Dream Kardashian, into the world on November 10th. Of course social media didn't tell well to the name, Dream, but I like it. It's different. I mean, people have to take into consideration that baby Dream was not born into just an average family, but a family of Kardashian's with a cousin named "North-West", a brother that is also a step-cousin (I think ??), then an aunt, who is actually a step-mom...?? Okay, that's neither here nor there but you get the point. Usually, babies are born into that awkward phase where they look like no one in particular, yet everyone at the same time. At least in my eyes, Dream favors first-time daddy, Robert Kardashian. Wh...

TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY: FLY TATTED SKY

Do you watch Black Ink NY? If so, did you notice how Sky's confidence level went to over "a hunnit" after she got the plastic surgery she has been dyin gto get.

BOW WOW CHALLENGE: FUNNIEST MEMES

Once again, rapper/actor Shad Moss (Bow Wow/ Lil Bow wow) was caught "insta-lying" again, which created a challenge called "#BowWowChallenge" by social media. It all started with Bow Wow posting a picture about him catching a flight to NYC. The picture he posted was of a private jet and a fancy car outside of it, pretty much indicating that he was about to hop on it. It all went down hill when a fan of his happened to be following Bow Wow's post on IG and saw he posted he was on a private jet (though he didn't state it directly). Once the coach passenger noticed Bow Wow was lying, he took a picture and uploaded to social media, which then prompted a mass influx of people searching the internet to find where Bow Wow had stolen the picture from. Ultimately, they found it and started calling Bow Wow out on his lies. Even rapper, 50 Cent took part in the challenge. LOL
