Life

Life can sometimes take you on a detour. Far beyond the yellow brick road you’ve mapped out for yourself. Click, Click, Dorothy don’t be afraid. Life will surely show you some wicked witches but just remember this: “It’s all about the journey and the ones you create memories with”.

Running + Gym + Healthy food = on my way to a healthier me

It has already been two months since I wrote my last post. I was planning to be more active but I’m here now!! In my last post I told you guys that I signed up myself for the 5K Ladies run in June. I convinced my friend to join me and combine our weekly gym sessions with running. Continue reading

Run Zippy! Run!

My mama always said, ‘Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get. – Forrest Gump.

This morning as I look at my calender I realize I have exactly 64 days until D-day arrives. Two months ago, Valentine’s day to be exactly, I decided to enroll myself for the 5km Ladiesrun 2015 supporting the Pink Ribbon cause!

Holiday Season

All he wants for christmas

Ladies it’s time to break the bank!!! Holiday season is just around the corner. Take the guessing out of gift shopping this season. I ask the fellas what gifts they really want to receive if it was up to them to decide. So instead of buying him the same thing you bought him last year and the year before that, I’ll share with you a selection of the gifts that will definitely create an ear to ear smile on your loved one’s face.

Diary of an unmarried black woman, life

Is it Rape Culture, or does your SINGLE ASS just DRESS like a whore & PROVOKE it?

I haven’t posted my daily nablopomo posts due to lack of time but I would like to share some of the good stuff that’s out there and what I couldn’t keep to myself.

A lot of us black females experienced a situation like this but most of the time there wasn’t a brother that spoke up for us. I love this piece and can’t wait till part 2 comes. Signing off, 32 year old working student.

Real News

“Look at bae!” I said under my breath as I watched a tall, brown-skinned, Monica-from-Love-and-Basketball looking woman walk past me & bat her eyes, lookin’ like a pretty ass giraffe grazing the savanna, despite the fact we were on a 24-hour-fitness basketball court.

She was wearing a black t-shirt, with the words, “you go girl” printed on it, long black basketball warmup pants, the Jordan Cool Greys, a white head band to hold back her huge curls and a naked face.

I could tell she was giving me, “the look”, because it wasn’t just a glance. She looked at me, glanced down, then slowly raised her brown eyes, until they were at my eye level. She was giving me the look Nala gave Simba in, “The Lion King”, before the two of them rolled around & made love in the grass.

“I’ll play you for it,” she said, rolling her…

Outfit – I am what’s underneath

Speechless. Love the way how she strips down her layers in order to rise up as a ,transformed caterpillar, butterfly. Everybody has a life story and there’s someone who needs to hear yours as a light at the end of their tunnel.

THE CURVYNISTA

After I barely slept last night there were two things that needed to be done. Write a story to accompany these pictures and ask my husband if he was okay with this post. The What’s Underneath project really got under my skin. Literally. So this is my way of sharing what’s underneath it all.

Literate for a Day

If only these walls could talk…the world would know just how hard it is to tell the truth in a story in which everyone’s a liar. – Gregg Olsen

Call it in need of inspiration or just too lazy to come up with a subject to write about and too lazy to finish my draft posts but today, well actually a couple of days ago, I saw a prompt that caught my attention and I thought: This is something I can work with.

Current state of Mind

A picture can say more than a thousands words – Unknown

I think this says it all. My current state of body and mind is Tired. Still have to read an article before class tomorrow. :-s At this point I wish I could go back to my mother’s womb and be safe, warm and nurtured. Nothing to think about, nothing to be worried about and not to complain about. I also wish that people would stop complaining about the latest WhatsApp update: 2 blue check marks If you don’t want to answer people, just say so!!! smh Everyone has his or her moments. And if you really want to get in touch with someone (or me). Call (me). Yes, old skool dialing. That’s all folks.

Listen Up!! – Shirma Rouse

If you’re living in The Netherlands and never heard about Shirma Rouse… I don’t know where you’ve been especially this last year. Almost everyday she penetrates your living room as one of the singers in the KPN 4G ad and you definitely missed out her performances @The Voice of Holland.
