Egyptian.


















I absolutely am in love with this creation. The fabric is to die for, I've gotten tons of compliments on this two piece outfit. I am very proud to say that it is from my collection. So many people asked me where I got my outfit from cause they have never seen it in stores before or did I order it online and if so, where. And I simply responded to them with "No I am a designer, an artist and this piece is an original, one of a kind". Then they would ask me if I plan on coming out with a plus line and I tell them that my partner and I are trying to and hopefully it will be soon. Then they will return by saying God I hope so...That makes me feel so great.



No Regrets.







I have been told by a few people, well only a handful that I cannot dress and that my self esteem is low, confidence is shot to pieces and that I may even be ashamed of my body image. Well I'll be...is what I was thinking because not only is it absolutely not true but it is just ridiculous. I have never been ashamed of my body, never, ever, ever.

I've also been told that I need to dress more appropriate cause I am not a teenager anymore and that (my pride) collection of hats need to be thrown away, now that silly comment made me roll on the floor with laughter cause that will never happen, well at least not in this lifetime.

Here's a good one for you, maybe the reason I can't find work is because of my size or the way that I look and dress. My thought on that one was "hmmmmmmm interesting" also complete nonsense, but okay.

Also, what really baffles me is that so many people automatically think that just because you're fat, heavy, plus-size or whatever you want to call it you must be unhealthy and you automatically without hesitation need to call for help cause you health is in dire danger. What crap, and to be honest that's just me putting it politely.

I will never look back in life and say I have regrets, sure I will make some mistakes but regrets no, because those mistakes are all learning lessons for me. I will never say "Oh I wish that I could of worn this". No If I like it and they have it in my size believe me I will wear the hell out of it. Or, "I wish that I could wear that shade of red lipstick but my skin tone is too dark" complete bull,  I am wearing it or finding a shade close to it. "I wish I could pull off that hairstyle". Nope, I can pull off any and everything... you know why? here's why...I am confident in who I AM, I AM confident in the skin I'm in. I Love ME before anybody else can and truth be told nobody know me better than a handful of people and I can count them on one hand.

You see I've always heard this saying and that is  "God makes no mistakes", so why would he make a mistake on me. I stand tall with my head held high whenever I walk into a room and all eyes will be on me because I demand it and people can't help but notice me cause I don't fit in with the norm never have and never will. I love every roll and dimple on my body, luckily I have no stretch marks but if I did I would love them too...why? cause it is a part of who I am.
So to all who feel that you have to change your size, the way that you dress, the way you accessorize, your long funky nails, or anything that makes you happy in this world that can sometimes be so cruel, mean and judgmental, don't do it. Always remember God has made you in the image and likeness of him and He makes no mistakes.

Enjoy

Murder.














Okay, I had some where to go and I had enough time to do my hair and watch my new obsession "How To Get Away With Murder" and it was sooooooo good.

I used my NuMe reverse curling wand, it heats up to 410 and there is no gauge indicating the heating level, so basically it just gets HOT!!! It does come with a heating glove for the protection of you fingers. Thank You Jesus!

I also stopped off at F21 to get some little things and of course I couldn't resist the accessories section. I bought a beanie for $3, the earrings were $4.80 each, the mini bowler $12 and the makeup bag was $5.80.

Enjoy.

Tires screeching and rubber burning coming to a complete halt. Nope this is not my wedding day, it's my aunt/friend's wedding day and it was a beautiful three day celebration.

The first night was the Kwe Kwe (Guyanese pre-wedding celebration) unfortunately I didn't get any photos...sorry but it was a lot of fun.

The second day was the wedding and it was indeed a wonderful celebration, walking into the ceremony there was a live guitarist playing the music for the bride to enter which was lovely, after the vows were said and the first kiss was given the bride and groom and everyone else walked out to John Legends' All of Me which was a reply nice touch. Then it was on to hors d' oeuvres and family pictures.

Next up the reception, what can I say the food was great, I had the pan seared breast of chicken topped with lemon and thyme confit (this was so good i could of had a plate of this by itself topped with the brie fondue...fucking YUMMMMMMMYYYY) english pea risotto, french beans and vine tomatoes with brie fondue. Then came two desserts the chocolate moose and the wedding cake.

All in all everything was great, everyone was enjoyed themselves, I had a great time.

So all the best wishes to the bride and groom and may God bless them.
