Winning in Black & White

Nothing beats the combination of black and white. Honestly, tell me a better combo! Can you ever lose when wearing this colour and this shade together. I always feel dressed up when I combine the two and this shoot was no exception. Continuing with the trend of wearing what was already in my closet, I realised I hadn’t shot this blazer that I hadn’t actually worn it out before so it made sense to create a look with it.

Having a Green Day

I’m having too much fun with these titles, but more so; I am really enjoying experimenting with different looks. Much like the yellow look before. I opted for pieces in my wardrobes that were not a co-ord and were instead separate pieces; all purchased from different places. I love colour blocking and I particularly enjoy doing this with bright colours as opposed ro light shades and pastels.

Blaze It Up in Yellow

I did mention a few blog posts back that I have really stepped up my style lately. In my opinion; I’ve always known how to dress but when I stepped into my 30’s I started to REALLY work on my personal style. I think this has come out a lot more this year from the shoots I did with Katie Ryan Creations and some of the earlier shoots I did with my mum. What I realised however is that I hadn’t shot many formal outfits. One’s where I show how I dress up smart!

4 Things You Shouldn’t Do When Dealing with Stress

Stress can arise from various things such as the demands of your job, juggling your daily responsibilities, past experiences, etc. However, how you deal with stress can make all the difference. A study revealed that about 1 in every 14 adults in the UK feel stressed daily. Handling stress takes an intentional effort, and here are some things to avoid when doing so. 

Sashashantel.com X Adidas

To be honest with you, it feels surreal typing this as I have worn Adidas clothing my entire life, though strangely; since lockdown last year I have found myself purchasing more of their clothing. I have always appreciated the quality of their sportswear and find the price point very affordable; especially for a leading sports brand.

Sasha Shantel X Wear ‘Em Out

I can honestly say that my periods have played a massive part of my life for many years. I have always had heavy, painful periods and have missed key events in my life from sports days, to friends weddings, had days off work and even had incidents as serious as missing an exam at university. It has been the making and breaking of me as, by having heavy periods I have really had to pay more attention to the food I eat as it often heightens the pain I have each month; if I so happen to eat too many sweet treats!

Sasha Shantel X Creme of Nature

As much as I love wearing wigs, I am very conscious of the fact that I have a bundle of curly hair underneath it and that hair requires my attention in order to keep it healthy. I have spent number of years, trying out different products for curly/kinky hair and am pretty happy with the products I incorporate into my daily routine. I have always loved Creme of Nature’s products, particularly their Argan Oil based Leave in Conditioner which is nourishing for both my hair and scalp. I have also found that although it has been made with us curly hair sisters in mind, their products are also very versatile and I use both their mousse and leave-in conditioner on my wigs.

Australia’s Must-See Natural Wonders

At 25 million years old, the Great Barrier Reef is one of the oldest natural formations on planet earth. It’s the only living thing visible from space, and it spans a whopping 3,000km. Thousands of tropical fish live here, and there are ample chances to dive or snorkel and see the reef up close. Sadly, the Great Barrier Reef is shrinking due to climate change, so there’s no better time than the present to see it in all its glory!
