Reader Spotlight : Ella Medupin.

Hey Hey guys!

I know its been a hot minute since the last reader’s spotlight and I apologize for holding off this particular feature for so long.

Reader Spotlight is basically a way to sort of give back, finally stop yapping all about myself day in and out on my blog (seriously, don’t you guys get tired of reading about me? Lol) and get to know my readers better.

Alright, so let’s meet our third reader in this category!

Hi Ella, Please can you tell us a bit about you?

My name is Ella Medupin. I’m 21, a very recent computer science graduate, a natural hair enthusiast and vintage lover.

We have one thing in common there, can you guess? lol. Please can you share with us some of your interests/passions

Basically I love doing everything with a hot cup of tea(green).
I love making my hair myself too, it sort of relaxes me and gives me time to think. I have a passion for recreating hairstyles I see on the web or other people. I also like movies (romantic comedies mostly), street style fashion and catching up on my favorite blogs.

I love street style fashion too! Hayy, another thing in common!

What are some challenges you face and what keeps you going?

For challenges, personally I don’t push myself enough because I’m too cautious of failure. It’s a challenge I’m currently working on. Also getting enough money to satisfy my hair appetite..lol it’s just hard.. What keeps me going is that I’m pretty creative so I constantly find ways to make these things work and then I get compliments from people and it’s all good.

Lol. I get you! On the enough money and being creative bit. I used to be too cautious of failure, but eyan le ku anytime so I’m just out here trying to do everything I possibly can in this lifetime.

Whats your dream career and how you are working to achieve that….. Or not

I would love to make wigs on a commercial level. It’s my favorite kind of protective styling and I’m currently working towards that.

I like to think that I’m a wig person but somehow I just haven’t owned any and I don’t wear them much. I guess I’m not so much a wig person right? That’ll be dope though! And just know that I’ll be here to share your stuff when you finally launch.

Whats your favourite quote/advice that has helped you in life?

My favorite advice is ‘He who kneels before God will stand before men’. The importance of prayer can not be over emphasized.

Defff! Currently loving ?

I’m currently loving colored hair and Afros. If you have colored hair, we may be besties and you don’t even know it..

Lol, I love colored hairs too but sadly mine isn’t. So I’m guessing we can’t be besties 🙁 . Can you share one random fact about you?

Random fact about me is that I hate doing my laundry..just hate!

What are some/any life lesson(s) you’ve learnt lately that you wish you knew earlier?

What I wish I learned earlier is that no matter what, you’ll be okay..
Also, if you wait for things to get handed to you, you may have to wait forever. You want something, make effort to take it.

Is there any tip you’ll like to share? ( could be anything : photography tip, tips to keep organized, food tip/secret recipe etc )

The simple act of moisturizing and deep conditioning your hair could work wonders for your hair growth. I share styling and hair care tips on my blog..
Another one is to add half a lemon/lime to your cup of tea.. It changes the game completely!

Finally, Is there by chance anyway (style/ life) that reading my blog has helped you? (Or not. Lol).

I fell in love with your blog because it’s very relatable. It constantly shows me how to achieve/create certain looks within budget. I have a shirt dress I’m going to style the way you did when next I wear it.

Awww! ^_^ . Check out the way I styled my shirt dress here

Thank you so much Ella for reading my blog and taking time out of your day to chat with me, I think you have a really beautiful smile.
