FOCUS ON WOMEN
WITH CURLSNCOFFEE
TELL US A BIT ABOUT NADIA RINQUEST.
I am a wife to Reuben and mom to our energetic 4-yearold
daughter Maeve! I became a Christian at the age of 16
and have been following Gods plan for my life ever since. I
have an Honours degree in Theology and a Master’s degree
in Economics and Policy Analysis. I worked in full-time youth
ministry for about 10 years and now I do my days work as
an economist. I am an avid Formula 1 supporter (go Red
Bull!), and love travelling. In my spare time I enjoy creative
arts like painting, visual journalling and all things craft such
as making clay earrings and crocheting! My other passion is
playing bass guitar, mostly in a worship band, and growing
my indoor jungle with more plants! My philosophy is to live
life to the fullest and have fun doing so!
HOW DID CURLSNCOFFEE COME ABOUT?
There is not a day in my life that goes by without my curls
and coffee. I mostly drink my coffee black, but there are
days that just call for a cappuccino! With that being said,
my little space on the internet erupted both naturally and
serendipitously. I never imagined that I would connect with
so many people who love their coffee strong and their hair,
natural. I created the brand on Instagram and Facebook to
connect with other ‘naturalistas’ and share about my love
and support for local businesses and local South African
products.
HOW LONG HAS CURLSNCOFFEE BEEN AROUND?
CurlsnCoffee has been around since 2017 as a lifestyle
blog. Since then, the brand has evolved from a natural
hair and coffee blog to a small creative and craft business.
During lockdown, I started experimenting with many
different crafts and teaching myself how to create new
products. I love making and selling my clay earrings and
crochet products online and I also host craft workshops
once a month where I share my craft knowledge with other
women to inspire and empower them to be more creative
and potentially start their own small business.
ANY HAIR ADVICE?
I always share three important tips for ‘curlfriends’ wanting
to wear their hair naturally:
Use good natural hair products free of sulphates and
parabens. As curly hair is naturally drier, using products that
contain sulphates and parabens, tend to dry your hair out
further. You want to hydrate and add moisture, moisture,
moisture!
Deep condition with once a week. There are specific deep
conditioners on the market, that are relatively inexpensive,
apply it to your hair and leave on for 20 minutes at least.
This will add protein to your hair and keep your moisturised.
Apply your products in sections after you wash your hair.
My curl routine involves applying a leave-in conditioner, curl
cream, a little bit of gel for definition and once my hair is
mostly dry, I seal the ends with an oil.
WHAT’S YOUR INSPIRATION TO FEMALES?
I hope that through the way I live my life, that I am able to
inspire other women to live their authentic lives! Whether
that means proudly wearing your natural hair, loving your
body or following your dreams, live your life in a way that is
a true reflection of who you are. And love yourself!
MY FAVOURITE VERSE
John 10:10 – ‘The thief comes only to steal and kill and
destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to
the full’ (NIV)
