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*

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...
