  2. I have alot of titles but by far one of the most important is MAMMA🥰. My kids have taught me so many lessons and changed me in so many amazing ways. I learned to go with the flow because plans with kids never work out, I’ve learned to let things go, and learn what matters. I put up boundaries and guarded my time, and learnt to live more in the moment because i blink and a year goes by🙆‍♀️ They humanize you in the most gracious of ways and also make you reflect on who you are as a person every waking moment, they make you put down your phone, look at what’s in front of you, test your patience and also have alot of “is this really happening?!” moments🤣 I teach them about life, morals, whats right and wrong, patience , kindness, grace, and more. But in reality they have been shaping me all along to be the best version of myself. Happy Mothers Day!!💕 . . . . #mothersday #momoftwo #girlmom #boymom #sunday #breastfeeding #blessed #motherhood #mom

  1. Hey Guys! I've received so many dms and comments over the course of weeks on how I take care of my hair hence the YouTube channel I started, the link is in my bio. I wanted to start shooting videos and upload content end of March but unfortunately when #lockdown started I was here in Botswana. I dont have most of my hair tools as it's all in SA so shooting is on hold for a little while. . . In the mean time the content I will post on my feed I will caption and try to give hair tips or how I would have managed to achieve the specific hair do. Thank you so much for everyone's patience. Please keep dropping your comments and asking questions. I take not of them all. . . Don't forget to click the link in my bio or search Heather Bongie on YouTube. xoxo . . . . . #4c #naturalhair #kinkyhair #kinksandcoils #4chairstyles #4chair #afro #highpuff #coils #mondaymotivation #mondaytip #content #glowgangmbali #naturalhaircaretips #ctnaturally #staysafe #happyeaster2020 #twistout #melanin #motivation #southafricanhairblogger #hair2mesmerize

  2. My Coils are tight, my hair is rich and I love the results of the moisture treatment I did 2 days ago. This was right after the rinse out before I did the LOC method or applied anything.#4chair #lowporosityhair ________________________________________________ SWIPE LEFT to se more DEFINED curls . Having a problem with the video and uploading it but will ensure to do so that way you can see how I achieved such results. The treatment ensures a high level of conditioning and moisturising. . . . . . . . . . #kinksandcoils #naturalhair #tightcoils #4chair #4chairstyles #hair2mesmerize #hairblogger #glowgangmbali #content #moisturetreatment #coils #curldefinition #textureshot #naturalhairsa

  3. Tip for LENGTH RETENTION! Its advisable to keep you hair at its natural state (shrinkange)not only because its beautiful but it helps retain length. ____________________________________________________ Over manipulation of your hair can lead to breakage and your hair has to grow faster than it breaks. If you over manipulate and stretch it with or without heat. It will end up breaking faster than it grows then your length will remain the same if not shorter. You will find your self frequently trimming it because its damaged. Try Embracing SHRINKAGE, Its Beautiful 😍💫 Click the link in ny bio and watch my latest video where I mention 5 ways to retain length.❤ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #naturalhaircaretips #naturalhair #kinksandcoils #content #4chairstyles #4chair #afro #hair2mesmerize #glowgangmbali #coils #shrinkage #letsgrowhealthyhairtogether #type4kinksandcoils

  2. We did it Joe 🥺 one year has gone by since we opened our first store. It’s been an amazing ride. A lot of learning. We can’t wait to announce the location of our second store 🤍🙏🏾 God is just tooo good

  3. Learn before your scale 🫡 As @beautyontapp grows I’m often asked how we do it - do I have retail experience, logistics experience etc and the truth is we do it through our curiosity to learn. My next phase of learning will be deepening my understanding of logistics and distribution. As we set out to open more stores and expand our offering, getting this right is crucial. So we’ll be starting our journey with a small warehouse and distribution point to up our expertise and increase our efficiency. Excited for this next step and phase of the business 🤍
