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...

TRUMP TWEETS A MESSAGE FOR AMERICANS AMID DACA SCANDAL

With the rest of the United States still trying to come to grips with the devastation that occurred one week ago in Texas by Hurricane Harvey, Trump takes to twitter and gives a labor day tweet for Americans. That may not seem like a big deal but for about 800,000 DACA recipients, it comes as a slap in the face. What is DACA? DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. It's American immigration policy founded by former president, Barack Obama in June 2012. DACA allows certain illegal immigrants who entered the country as minors, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and eligibility for a work permit. Well, "All-American" president, Donald Trump, wants to do away with the program as he feels America should be ran by Americans. Meaning, only American items to be made by American workers. That's interesting, considering numerous women Trump has been with and married to did not come to this country born American

HAIR OF THE DAY: BROOKE BAILEY

For those of you wondering if this is all of Brooke Bailey's hair.....I can let all of the inquiring minds know that YES, this is indeed her real hair, and not only is this her real hair, she is also natural. She was asked on twitter if she perms or presses her hair out with a hot comb. She had responded by saying @brookebaileyinc LOL ... I don't perm or press my hair. In this pic I washed it and let it air dry. It seems as if she always had beautiful hair. Her hair is absolutely gorgeous and looks very healthy. Her natural haircare line (in which she uses for her hair) will be launched shortly. I guess I may have to give it a try. Considering how shiny her hair looks, it can't be that bad.
