They say if it were easy, everyone would be doing it. I wish to express how important it is remind ourselves daily, that we should not allow societal pressures to overwhelm us too much. That we are all on our own unique path in life, and that you should never condemn yourself for feeling like you haven't achieved enough.  That somehow you are behind, or not doing good enough. The reality is, we are all in this gridlocked web of competitiveness, greed and survival. You should never feel guilty for attempting to create conditions that are more comfortable for yourself, because everyone is doing the same thing. It doesn't matter how long it takes you, how many times you fail, as long as you get back up again, fighting, then the world is your playground. See all the immigrants coming to the UK for a nicer lifestyle, for greater opportunities, somewhere to bring up their families in a safer, kinder environment. It is only natural that we want to make ourselves a happier home, and...

One cannot simply observe a scene, they automatically become part of what ever they are witnessing. We are depressed by default, unconditional love is the only cure. Discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation or income will become the catalysts for the last days on earth for humanity. I wish every thing retained originality. Stuff is overly fabricated these days. Being pretentious is the equivalent of "fake it, until you make it" which is one of the key beliefs of successful people. The world is brimming with hypocrisy, you just have to ignore the haters and rise above it.  Never allow the ideas or thoughts of others to dictate and consume your life. Your health, wealth and quality of life will dissipate if you are too focused on them. You have to be patient and work hard for any thing good to develop in life. These are all authentic quotations.  

This is a totally unrelated post about one of the most renown days of the year, celebrated around the world and expressed in very diverse styles. Typically, you would expect all the romantic couples to exchange gifts or at least spend some time together. On the day or over the weekend, you can guarantee at some point, they will either cuddle up in bed watching trash TV, to rekindle their frequent intimate hours of solace. Some folk like to boast their status by prudently conforming to give it 'The Big One' with a fancy meal in an over-priced restaurant around a bunch of strangers all imitating the exact, expected method of public displays of affection. With parks walks and cinema dates too.  But why? It is one of those days that makes the loners feel incredibly more single than they should already have to. If you are living alone, with no significant other, then it sure does highlight your Singledom. Do not fear, for Valentine's Day is simply another day of ...

I have no idea what I am about to write. (Automatic writing) Its that sense of the unknown that carries me forward, knowing that the further I contemplate and explore the artistry of 'in-hindsight' I pursue a higher, bona-fide perspective. I believe that where I am now, could exemplify a distressing episode of my life that I think I had to go through, in order to gain a vital lesson, in the game of love. Love is not my speciality, I am too quick to open up to mousy outsiders to my personal bubble, and therefore, granting fickle imaginary troubles. I have discovered the ingredients I need for my survival, that is cardinal to my functioning in society and as a human being. I really feel that these are the building blocks to elevating the compassion amongst people from those on the streets to those in mansions. Yes, I can honestly admit that I have had a taste of both worlds in my short presence. I often wish I could go back to school and be a totally different person. May be...

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.
