A friday night at the cinema

12 May 201712 May 2017 by GoldenConnexion2 Comments

What about a good film to start the week end well, guys ? Good movies, we love them touching, full of emotions and strong sensations, where the actors know how to transmit their feelings. Sadness, melancholy, anxiety or laugh, we love everything, provided that the scenario and the actors are great, because at the end it is all that matters. We have always loved cinema, and we even shared a UGC duo card as perfect lovers LOL :) The film we are talking about today is "GET OUT". The story of a young African American, in relationship with a young white woman who takes him for the week end to her family's house. Chris Washington is surprised by the enthusiasm of his step family. However, very soon he figures out that he is among people with very strange practices and activities with a very particular perception of Black people… This thriller is worth it. From the 5th minute, the anxiety will seize you and will...

The “downside side” of following people you like

23 March 201726 March 2017 by GoldenConnexion1 Comment

We are back with this short blog dispensing our advice, as we know you like it ;) What does it mean when we say “following people that you like”? How do we define it? We talk about the display of a strange behavior, where we sometimes follow people around us who are setting a trend even though we know deep down that we should not. How weird is that? Indeed, sometimes we let ourselves being guided by the desire to not disappoint our friends, and thus follow what they suggest even though we actually don’t want to! We should be aware that among your friends you could experience certain dynamics exposing you to be a target to be taking advantage of in the case you weak-minded. We are willing to make concessions to those around us and often we do not receive the same courtesy back from them. That is simply unacceptable and not desirable. Well, yes it is true. It’s good to have a...

Hello, Today it is all about the styling of Mom jeans. Yeaaah girls, these are the famous old-school jeans worn in the 80’s/90’s. These jeans have gotten their name from the fact that they were worn by women that today are mums. These are the jeans of our mothers lol! You can recognize them with their high cut on the waistline, wide hips and tight fit at the ankles. There is no way that you could have missed these jeans as they have become so popular again. We particularly like this style as they are cut very different from classic slim jeans. It can make your casual outfit stand out and be very flattering. But as you probably know, these jeans highlight your body, so they are not designed to hide your curves, lol. So we thought we could show you how we like to style these jeans and share with you little tips to “kill” with your look no matter what your body type you...
