Sticks and Stones


"Sticks and stones may break my bones 
But words will never harm me."

An old nursery rhyme turned phrase that was meant to teach kids to not be bothered or hurt by the name-calling or teasing and taunting by fellow kids/bullies. And no, this is not a history lesson about nursery rhymes.


BUT.................. as much as that's good advice to kids on how to 'pay the haters no mind'
talk right to the hand
Mmmhh I just feel so strongly about people who say hurtful things to others whether they mean them or not. Just because you don't mean it doesn't mean it's okay. And it doesn't matter how many phrases and nursery rhymes we come up with, words hurt regardless.

When you're mad, angry, annoyed or frustrated I think it's better to just bite your tongue (bite it haaaarrdd!) just shoosh and then later when you're calm then you can say however it is you feel without uttering hurtful things

I am one for sarcastic retort, I like it, it's even a part of me now although some people might not like it *blasts lady gaga's I was born this way* I always make sure I don't cross lines or get offensive so it gets to me when i'm just being humorous with sarcasm and someone lashes out or uses hurtful or rude words/terms/phrases to get to me. I mean coooome ooooooonnnnn, how do you load your paintball gun with actual ammunition??? SMH

This just happened and I was kinda fired up because of it, so here's to my brief little rant *cheers*

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

He Can Get it Two

Thought it was time for an update on the He Can Get It post... and so here goes: I had talked about the repulsion effect in that post... and had been thinking heavily about it. About how we tend to love the people that hate and hurt us or the ones we would never have a chance with. You know, the guys that make plans with you and you go all out to get ready. The perfect outfit, face beat, hair did and smelling good and then *ring-ring* he can't make it, all or most times but because you're so into him you keep putting up with it. Or the guys we're willing to lay it all for because we think we've found "the one" but he cheats and betrays your trust more than you know but when you find out, you forgive him because you love him. Then there's the guy that has you feeling all kinds of good. The almost perfect guy that knows just what to say to get you hooked and high on him. He's fun and exciting.... and in a relationship. You know you shouldn't

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
