Spare The Rod And Spoil The Child

Hmmm... Now almost everyone when growing up said the words, "I won't do this to my children" or something in that regard whenever our parent(s) said or did something we didn't like.
At a certain age, we don't see the benefit of certain things 'til a few years later when we realize our parents were only looking out for us when they did what they did, whether we liked it or not.


But we need to understand that they too are only human and so may have umm over done certain things and been wrong a few times but being raised in an African household lol God forbid if you try to point out their wrongs or else aaaahhh pasopo! Hahahaha... That by the way means 'beware' or 'look out' or 'careful' because it is deemed disrespectful.
Anyway, the purpose  of this post is to talk about beating as a form of discipline. Now most people disagree with it but c'mon now... the generation raised without physical discipline are the most unruly.  I'm not saying we should assault our kids or get crazy with the beating. I just think a slap on the cheek, smack on the bum, a stroke with a cane or belt would do these kids some good.

We think we're being good to them by going easy on 'em and letting 'em get away with certain things but really all that's doing is more harm than good.
And no, I am no parenting expert but I will smack the stupid outta a child because I do believe that when  you spare the rod all you're doing is spoiling the child

D.I.Y.: Vest to Bodysuit

Hey! It's been a minute.... yes, a really long minute 🙈 I know. But I'm back!! Woop woop. The festive season is upon us and we all want to look good because why not?? So I'm here to help y'all look good on a budget so you can have enough money left over to go out and celebrate.... you're welcome, you know I gatchu *insert high five here*. So, last year I had written an article on thrifting, or salaula if you may, on the Trendition-Z page, follow the link >  HERE  < . I gave a few tips on how to go about it so you will definitely find it useful. (Read it!!) A while ago, I happened to find myself in DAPP because they had clothes going at K8... K8!!! How could I walk past that?? So I got the vest and knit sweater in the thumbnail picture above for K8 each and felt pretty good about my purchase. Problem is, the vest was way too long as you see above. Ended up looking like a really short dress so it was idly sitting in the closet until I got a light bulb m...

Death's Selective Mourners

Hey y'all.... so yesterday the 4th of April there was a bus accident in which it is reported about 6 people died. Tragic. Especially for the families of the deceased. But... all over social media I only kept seeing condolences to one family. The one whose daughter was a bride to be. Of course absolutely nothing wrong with issuing out condolences. Only problem is this tendency to only feel remorse for and talk about the "celebrity". I'll explain. If there are 2 or 3 people in a vehicle and of those people one of them happens to be a famous person and then an accident occurs, the only person or person's family that will receive tons of love, remorse and have posts of condolences sent their way is that of the famous person. And this really bothers me because do the lives of the other victims not matter and go unnoticed because they were unknowns? No. Every life matters and cannot be measured or valued by one's level of popularity or wealth. So back to yes...

Look for Less with DIY

So.... I'm into arts and crafts, DIY... anything I can do by myself I don't like to spend money on. From changing a light bulb to fixing a plug or socket to hammering something together, fixing a door handle, painting, braiding my hair all the way to the clothes I wear. I prefer to do things on my own from the phrase/saying: "If you want something done right do it yourself"  That's my motto. I prefer to be self sufficient and encourage others to do the same because there is nothing I hate more than having to be stranded and depend on someone else to come through only to disappoint me.  But don't get me wrong, where I'm unable to, I'm quick to ask for help. So school was forcibly/prematurely closed so i've been bored outta my mind.  But then I thought "hmm i like clothes. Why don't I get a little creative to pass the time" and got to it. Yesterday I came up with this little number Made the crop top out of a p...
