Pardon my tan-tastically orange hands/ porcelain face combo. I do feel like a nob.  Hello Girls. I know the title sounds as alluring as that, however, I am not planning on writing an entire article about the pains of being a woman in society, I have dealt with the pangs of man-hate quite enough already and internalised those vicious ideas since I am all about gender equality.  I thought I would revert to the softer tone of this blog, that being about beauty products and fashion.  In hindsight, I feel that personally I have been objectified by men whether I have always been conscious of it or not, the female physique is a fascination motivating their diligence, nevertheless. Likewise, I am aware of the many women, struggling with this unfair development. With very little provocation, I have been subjected to the perversion of strange, unsolicited men in public, near my home and around the workplace. This has had an impact on my self-este...

I guess a blog can be many things. It can be a source of useful and entertaining information for the public, or it can be a very intimate diary of events of an individual's life. When I began this blog, I intended on it being a bit of both. Most of all, I wanted it to be fun, with the hope that it would act as a device to reach out to unassuming browsers of the internet. Maybe it has succeeded in doing just that. Now I wonder what else I can do with my writing. I really do look on the bright side of life; when my family or a friend of mine is in a crisis, I tend to reflect on those occurrences with empathy and as much understanding as I can possibly conceive. I have this ability, or disability, depending on your level of optimism, that gives me what I believe to be extra sensory perceptive qualities. So lately, I have found my life crashing before my eyes, everything I built and stressed over to behold, has washed away, been taken from my grasp, as well as my sanity. The...

image: holisticshop.co.uk Greetings. I have recently been on a turbulent trip through something very traumatic. After having a pleasant rest and well-earned holiday, I decided to bite the bullet and pluck the courage to visit a psychic medium and an energy healer in the same day. My sleep pattern of late has been haywire, having late nights and missing entire mornings. I also met a lady based in Camden for a tarot reading about a year ago, unfortunately, I did not find her advice or talent very useful or coherent. On this occasion, I approached more positively and I did a little research, to find a woman called Samantha Hamilton. She featured on television some years ago, predicting future occurrences in football matters, that she is herself was entirely unrelated to. She claims to have had no interest in the subject. I wanted to share my perspective on the subject since I know a lot of people are curious/ skeptical/ afraid of such phenomena. I have desired to see a person such...

Sorry, it has been ages since I posted! If I told you the true story behind my absence, you probably wouldn't believe me anyway. Let's just say, I am elated that I got to spend Christmas with my Sister, and I am praying for a New Year full of happiness, opportunities, and less rocky roads (not the sort you eat, I meant metaphorically, I haven't had one of those in years... damn it) "I don't know who to be anymore." In life, we all face the problem of identity and feelings of insecurity about where we belong in society and in the great world of work. I met a dozen of professionals recently, and it gave me some perspective on what "work" actually relates to. These attributes can be meddled with in relation to the apparent socio-economic structure, and I for one, believe this to be another false perception as we are all human beings, deserving of recognition and opportunity to excel in our chosen fields of expertise. These feelings of uncertainty, ...

I think what we need to see on more blogs, Pinterest boards, and in mainstream media, that shall deliver triumph, power and attitude; a long debated statement in the fashion world - be it more a lifestyle as opposed to a 'phase' or 'trend'... that's 'alternative' to you and me! Recently, with the changing seasons, some reflection and a revamp in my wardrobe, I have re-discovered my love for alternative fashion. It's true, we associate goth, punk, rocker, emo, scene etc. with the varied taste in music, selective choice of bands, brands and style icons. In conjunction with this particular look, it is permissive for the collection who may feel they do not fall into a category outside of this spectrum, in regards to pop-culture, that I believe deserves further appreciation.

I guess I may have to write something here, do I not? Having little notifications popping up intermittently in my emails and Facebook, with concern as to why I hadn't posted again since, well, it will almost have been a whole month now! I'm not going to hold back what I am about to reveal. I am sharing this information on my blog for a couple of reasons. 1) It may enlighten someone else, for them to know that they are never alone, no matter how difficult things have become, for I have surely been there. 2) Just because I am from an affluent area, fairly well educated and would appear to have very few problems, I do not wish others to assume I lack compassion for them too. I may have more empathy for you than you think. I have struggled, insanely. Especially during this entire year, it would seem. I think 2015 hasn't been my strongest year, but I have certainly had a chance to explore myself as a person, and meet new people from circles I would otherwise had never com...
