Why Are You Single?


There I was in my room on campus the entire festive season watching youtube videos non stop because I kinda have no life and I love it. So there I am watching a make-up tutorial and then i see one of the "bf tag" (boyfriend tag). I click on it and start to watch and before I know it i've watched a hundred cute couple videos. I couldn't help it plus y'all know I am such a hopeless romantic, I was blushing and up in the clouds as if I was the one in love lol. Then reality set in that I am single... *moment of silence*


 And then yesterday I got asked why I'm single... "Why are you single? What is wrong with you?"

 My brain shut down for a split second and when I came to, I was overwhelmed with a ton of emotions. "What is wrong with you?"
This person was saying I was single because something was wrong with me therefore unwanted. I tell you, the clogs and gears in my head were turning so fast I had steam coming out of my ears, my nose, my mouth, I was going crazy lol. 
People always say stuff like "you're too pretty to be single" "you must be difficult" "something must be wrong with you" "you'll get older and unattractive then no one will want you".... psssh... To that I say "rubbish!" And to them I say, what does being pretty have to do with my emotions and what I have to offer? If all you're basing on my relationship status are my looks you're telling me there's nothing else about me worth loving and I can't have that. If I prefer things a certain way, I most certainly will not compromise them for someone for fear of being called difficult. Why must you assume something is wrong with me and so I am not wanted? No,everything is right with me and I am the one not wanting. So what if i get older? Black don't crack baby and old is gold so eat dust  *drops mic*

 It really got me thinking though, so maybe i'll share those thoughts in my next post

 But then I, of course, am a lady and had to maintain my composure so I took a deep breath and said while quite calm and cool, "I am single because I want to be"

    Are you still single? Lol, asking that makes me feel like I'm attempting to hit you on. I'm not. I'm just curious what the effect of this post was on your relationship status. Whether you realised it or not, posting this sent out a message to all the guys in your life that may have been interested in you that as long as they're nice and caring, they could stand a chance. And I'm sure one or two gave it a go. Question is, did you say yes? :)

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...
