How I feel about Halloween???

I'm indifferent.

I say so because I do not have any concrete evidence of real demonic activity during this season.I use Christian,because I am one and many Christians do not think this is from God.

Can I call everything that happens on Halloween as harmless-fun?no but it sure ain't all evil.

I do not believe in trick or treat;little kids coming round and getting up to mischief because that is the only day it is acceptable to be a pain by either knocking annoyingly and demanding sweets or throwing eggs and what-nots as punishment to those who have nothing to give.Err,I don't see my kids engaging in that while I'm aware.

Not to talk about the scary make up and gears people put together as well as the scary movies that seem to come out to "grace the occasion"-I sound like a cynic-I know

I do however love the discounts shops give as a fashion and beauty blogger- if I do say so myself and I plan to capitalise on those few hours of discount shopping.

I will add "insult to injury" at this point, by saying that I have always gladly and joyfully accepted sweets and other things during this season not in the spirit of the celebration wherever I find myself but simply because I love sweets and won't let that blessing pass me by-ps:I plan to do so tomorrow and I advice you enjoy too.

Happy Autumn guys:)

Conundrum

Most times we all have to come to terms with the fate which life has presented before us. The question that arises within me is why we have to allow life to choose our fate? What's the next step, where do we go from here? We are often misguided by our own limited understanding of things, that's why we need wisdom from the Lord God Almighty because it is written that "he who seeks understanding loves his life" 
We determine what our fate would be because the power of faith is in our hands. God wants us to have faith to shapen our fate. No wonder it is that in God all things are possible, and we play a vital role in that.
The power of will is very crucial and important in our lives and when the mist of fantasy is faded away reality is clear to us.  No matter how long you run away from the truth, sooner or later your gonna have to face the harsh reality of life. We might not always predict the future correctly at all times but sticking to God's word is a sure thing.
Not everything in life goes the way you want it, but that's not to say that things shall not get better. You never know how well your strength and willpower can carry you until they are the only options you've got. True words from a decent mind can move the hearts of a million souls and the right inspiration from a divine source can drive this compelling act in a gifted spirit.
For years, I've wondered what the PLAN is and for some reason I can't seem to get the answer for it, but one thing I know is that we decide what our destiny turns out to be by the product of what we attract with our thoughts.
I guess the most important thing is to believe in yourself in harsh conditions, as I write this, I'm faced with some difficulties but I believe within me that the next reader shall see me as a living testimony and the saying that experience is the best teacher really comes to play now.
Not letting your mind be entrapped in your current unhappy state believing that there is no light after the tunnel, but I'm here to reaffirm your faith. You have to ignore the things you think about that brings you unhappiness and think about, or rather do things that can change you current feeling of not being happy. This helps with the positive projections of what you want and how they would be manifested. So Re-create yourself!!!!

Jo Malone peony suede blush cologne review

I recently received a sample of this jo Malone perfume before it was sent to stores not because I am an insider but I did some research and I found that they were giving some samples away on their website.

I am very confused about the smell and the notes.It is so unfamiliar to me to the point that when I received it,I was immediately impressed-(not a lie)

It smells good and it definitely grows on you/me.I think I like the top and middle notes but there's something quite odd and sort of mature about it that makes me unsure of it.

The ingredients are rose,red apple,jasmine and gillyflower.

Now, before I proceed,I have to confess that I've no idea what a gillyflower is like but it definitely adds some sort of touch to this cologne that makes it subtle,powerful,rich and present.Its no surprise the cologne is described as charming,seductive and luxurious;it definitely communicates something that will make you curious about it.

Price ranges between  £39 for 30ml and £78 for 100ml.

I think it will be ideal for very confident sexy women between 25 and 35 to me.

I do not think it communicates the language of young women especially those who are finding themselves.If you are in that age bracket and this convinces you,check your nearest counter or alternatively on the website  HERE Jo Malone Website

Good luck!!!!

Ps:it lingers for quite a while...To me,it's interesting in a beautiful sense hence the fuss.

Avon Moroccan Argan Oil Leave in Treatment Review

I recently orderered the product mentioned above from Avon and I have been impressed by it so I have decided to do blogpost on it for those of you who are not following my YouTube here(Matilda boe)

It's a leave in treatment for all hair types which means you don't have to wash it away after use.it has the consistency of a serum and it's almost as thick as castor oil it almond oil.

I have been using a lot of oils in the past and castor oil was the closest to make a difference to my hair.This is not to suggest that the other oils are not good,my hair didn't just work well with it.

I have however used the Moroccan Argan leave in for a month now and it has worked wonderfullly on my hair.All the hair I lost on my edges a while back are growing now which means my hair is healthy and is able to retain all the nutrients and moisture I need to support my transitioning.

Below is picture evidence of progress

Before-August 2013

After-5th oct 2013

3rd October 2013

My observations over time.This is a highly recommended product in my books so if you have this hair problem,then hurry to your next Avon rep or alternatively,you can purchase some from my EBay account here(texttexttiles2013)

Girl in a sari-pink and jewels

I had the honour of attending one of my friend's wedding and it was an eye-opener for me.It was beautifully done and the maturity of my friend came full circle with the way she organised everything and worked well with her family to pull everything off.I was impressed so I decided to tribute her culture by wearing a sari and I am glad I did.Its so beautiful and elegant and royal to be in a sari that i can't wait for the next few weddings so I can wear them so here's me at one of my best days.
Congrats Tan❤

Friends

FRIENDS
There’s nothing like having someone that’s got your back at all times, someone that’ll always stick up for you and be with you through thick and thin. Only true friends can become family but not all family are true friends. Isolation is deadly because no man is an island, we all need someone to talk to and share our tears and joy with. Having a friend is like having a shrink to talk to, someone you can yap all day to and take advice from, and someone who would listen and not judge you, someone who is patient and ready to listen to your gibberish, complaints and whining, as well as offer comforting words.
Good friendship is built on trust and respect when that is taken away; it becomes empty like a piano without stings. Building true friendship isn’t as simple as it sounds because it is hard to put your trust in someone especially friends of the opposite gender. In fact a guy and a girl cannot be just friends, Sex ruins it all. Its either of the two case; the guys thinks more about the idea or the girl does, either ways the relationship is already ruin emotionally and what follows is expectation by either parties. It’s all battle of the mind until one makes a move and shit gets real, the relationship can totally crumble or they connect. Once the thought of sex crosses your mind with your opposite gender friend, the friendship is screwed. With sex comes feelings and with feelings comes expectations which eventually lead to disappointments giving way for depression, and depression of course the gateway to death!
The case of platonic friends between opposite genders is a different ball game entirely in that, one or both parties aint attracted to each other which makes it perfectly simple to be friends. Friends with benefit on the other hand have certain closeness in that there’s nothing hidden but it makes the relationship just physical with words.
So the real question is which kind of friendship is best plutonic with an unattractive other or friends with benefits?
