In Fashion, Black Can Never Go Wrong.

I'm always asked why I always wear the color black which is very true, I think I wear black almost everyday. Its a must for me to have the black color in any outfit I wear, not because there's a reason but because I got use to it, not to mention In Fashion, black can never go wrong. 


Check out the samples below:

Attack on Darfur "Movie".



I recently watched the movie "Attack on Darfur" that was filmed in South Africa starring the famous actors Billy Zane, Edward Furlong, Kristanna Loken, Matt Frewer and Kazeem Kae-Kazim. 


The movie is based on the genocide and Janjaweed activities that went on in Darfur. I had known about the war in Darfur of course but this movie opened to my eyes to what was really happening in Darfur. I only watched the 1st hour of the movie and could not continue watching, that's how horrible it was, not because I was scared but because I didn't want to know anymore. It was literally a massacre in the Sudanese state of Darfur that brought tears to my eyes. 


They showed how the women were rapped which cut my heart into two halfs, they showed how the children were brutally murdered, how the men were instantly sent to death. Not just that but they were called "The living dead". The Janjaweed went around village by village murdering everyone brutally in result to what? "Race". Referring to themselves as "Arabs" & the victims as "Africans" and that they deserved death for that reason. 






Yet what made me stop watching the movie was knowing that this happened before our eyes, before every Sudanese person's eyes and we couldn't do a thing, as one of chiefs mentioned in the movie "Why do you arrive after people have died to give help?" I asked myself the same question. Where were we? 


If you haven't watched the movie "Attack on Darfur" do watch it, a heart breaking and conscious awakening movie.

Do Sizes Really Matter?

I have a friend who's a size 12 and believes she's less gorgeous than the smaller sizes and less fortunate with men because of her size. In her own words: I think people don't take me seriously because of my size and I lack confidence because I am a big girl, I tried to loose weight a couple of times but it is just a curse. 

Well, I will start off by saying some of the most gorgeous women around the world are sizes 10 and 12 but that doesn't even matter because the actual question is "Do sizes really matter?" & Is it right to rate your beauty based on what size you are? or even rate your love life failures because you're big in size? I think not. 

1st of all if a man cares or knows your size, that is NOT the man you want. It was not, never has been about what size you are, its called "keeping in shape". You think a size 2 is beautiful if not in shape? no, its unhealthy and a disease called anorexia. 2ndly a woman's beauty will never be based on what size she is as long as she has full confidence in her shape. Keeping in shape never meant being skinny, it means taking care of your body.

I believe if you feel like your body is out of shape, its an issue that can be solved yet when you feel like your less attractive because of your size, that is when the real problem appears and no one can help you but yourself. Confidence cannot be taught, you have to believe in yourself and the way you look. 

My advise is: Simply "GET IN SHAPE" and if you are in shape you are as beautiful as God made you to be so gain some confidence and you have to do yourself. If he doesn't like your size "KICK HIS ASS TO THE CURVE".

Valentine's Day

So the Famous Valentine's day is just around the corner. I've been seeing everyone hyped up about the day, girls shopping for new dresses, gifts for the lovers, surprises for their lovers and all what people restrict themselves to be a must be done on Valentine's day. I was asked almost 20 times who my Valentine will be and if I am celebrating it, well why not? It is a day to celebrate exchanged love, but does it really have to be a boyfriend or a husband that I celebrate it with? or must it even be the person you're in love with? I don't think so. 


I used to have the same mentality as everyone, that Valentine's day is to be celebrated with my loved one, the person I happen to be in love with but then I thought about it and I realized that if I'm celebrating a day that everyone should feel unconditional love for and my single friend is having a hard time coping through, I won't even be happy, would you? Sometimes we are not even in love with the person that we might be with so why celebrate such a special day with them only? 


The definition of Valentine's day is "To celebrated exchanged love". I think we all should be able to celebrate it with whoever we carry love or care for whether its a boyfriend, friend, mother, sister, brother etc, simply whoever you have love for. What am I doing for Valentine's day? I will be with my photographer & his camera shooting at a studio and afterwards I am having dinner with my beloved friends and family because those are all people that I love and heart unconditionally. 


If you are single on Valentine's day, No it is not a problem, or sad or what so ever others might tell you, call your friends, call your family and tell them you love them. Love is such a big beautiful word, and we are to share it with the world not one person in such a big world full of people that have all the love to give back. 


Happy Valentine's Day to you in advance =).
