Marie Noelle Spa & Salon, one of Accra's finest and luxurious day spa has kicked off a pampered by Marie Noelle “Selfie” contest where they are giving their beautiful clients the chance to win beauty, health and wellness prizes for doing what they love to do – getting dolled up and pampered and showing it off on social media. This is a fantastic idea and I would even suggest that before you go for a special treatment, take a before and after #selfie to see how wonderful and relaxed you look.

t was hot last week Sunday after church. It was one of those hot days where all you wanted to do was either have a chilled glass of coke (which I had sworn not to drink this year) and just chill beneath the swirling ceiling fan. I told myself after changing from my Sunday best that there was no way my twist braids was going to hang around my shoulders or have it anywhere on my skin.  I suddenly got a brainwave to pull all my braids up and do something crazy and new.
