Pssst! Notice anything different?? A brand new Blog Design! Woohoo! I am so excited to bring you the new Shirley’s Wardrobe. In the last months I’ve been working on making a few changes here and there, to be able to express my creativity more fluidly.

It started off as an offshoot to my YouTube Channel, where I’d share little snippets of my life, photo diaries and such. Today it is recognised… Read More »

I wanted to share with you a product that I’ve recently incorporated into my skin care regime. It’s the Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm by Balance me*. Now I’ve had a fair share of face balms in the past, none too worthy to mention here on the blog, but this, this is amazing. I’ll talk you through the process… I warm a small amount of the balm in my clean hands, then I gently apply it on my face and neck, massaging the balm with my finger tips in circular motions for about 30 seconds. A sweet zesty scent hits me… Read More »

Eyebrows. They totally frame the face. I happen to be very particular about my eyebrows, and if they aren’t in a good state, I get in a strop! I get mine professionally threaded at a local Brow Bar, and these can be found everywhere, from malls to beauty salons! I’d definitely recommend this method of grooming, because it leaves the brows looking clean and perfect. If you like doing your eyebrows yourself, I’d advice you to first allow a professional to thread them, so you can have a guide of how your eyebrows should look, then if you want, you can just pluck the… Read More »
