Vanity... The Quicksand of Reason

You... are a container with the power and ability of containment. Yet you choose to relinquish it to be nothing but a mere vessel.

Overcome with vanity I see you stop at nothing to adorn yourself with materialistic and meaningless charms, adornments, garments obsessed by trends and fashion.

Hahahaha! 

Now what? Here you are in gold, silver, diamonds, the finest silk and leather, the most enchanting of perfumes and for what?
Oh yes, a pleasing sight indeed a most intricately woven portrait... but that's all you are... a mere (beautified) vessel.

But oh my darling even the most beautiful and precious rose is bound to wilt. From the dust you rise and though you fight it, to the dust you return.
You are not immune to the power of time...

You are a mere vessel... of greatness! 

Forget your aesthetic confines and look right within you to find what it is you have contained in you that you've worked so hard to hide.... your soul.
Profound and beautiful and invulnerable that even though you wither and your once beautiful flesh starts to decompose it lives on roaming the earth or goes on to reside a place unknown having left an imprint on everyone you crossed paths with

Your body is a mere vessel held together by the indestructible power of your soul.... remember that the next time you are swayed by outward appearance because after all, beauty should be the icing and not the cake.

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...
