Plus-Size Daredevils



For many years we were sold the idea that being a woman with a voluptuous shapely figure was some what wrong and shameful, it is that mentality that  inturn breeded a generation of women with body image issues infact it did not only end with body image issues but impacted their self esteem that led to constant self-doubt, self-criticism, social isolation and nagging insecurities.    
And in 2016 one would assume things are different because we are a more  urbane  and informed society, but there is still no rapid change in how the image of curvaceous women are viewed, adulated and most importantly accepted.  

 Being a plus size woman in modern society is a continuous struggle but in spite of that, there are women out there who are  dedicated in promoting positive perceptions about plus size women through self love and fashion, by proving to the world that being curvaceous does not limit or prohibit anyone from living their best life but it actually makes it little bit interesting. 

Therefore i salute these plus size bloggers for being courageous, confident and beautiful in a world that promotes mediocrity and the none-existent, unattainable idea of perfectionism. 

.What a time to be alive!!!!

8 FAMOUS GAY DESIGNERS - Rising awareness against gay violence!!!!!!!!!

It amazes me when there are still individuals who discriminate against gay people, I don't know if its ignorance or just plain stupidity because the same people who you disciminate and pass judgement on are the same people who ultimately make decisions on the clothes that you wear......interesting take right?! so before you decide to be a stereotyped douche bag let the clothes that you wear be a constant reminder that gay people are also people if not special people. so ít's high time we celebrate their wonderful contributions not only in fashion, but in the development of modern art and individuality as a whole. They embody a passion for their work like no other the kind of passion that drives the majority of their career and reputation. This is my gay love of talented designers who brought great influence in the fashion industry. Marc Jacobs is not only the famous designer in the world but also the the creative director of Louis Vuitton since 1997. Jacobs is al

BOOK REVIEW: I Can't Believe It's Not A Dream - Dr. Ronnie Masilela

After reading I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT A DREAM I was reminded of two powerful quotes by Robin Sharma. ·         “My love for books is what saved me.” ·         “It’s not what you will get out of the books that is so enriching – it is what the books will get     out of you that will ultimately change your life”. For me this book is a detailed version of what Robin Sharma was talking about in those two quotes. The writing is amazing, it's  unpretentious, lucid and poignant, I really enjoyed it and the story-line is astounding and relatable.  The Robertson’s, the other families that took him in, his friends and every single person who helped him, I sincerely believe that was God extending a helping hand to him.  Never have I been so touched by a book to a point of tears, I am not sure if it’s because I know the author personally hence I was able to relate and empathize with him in such a vulnerable and humane manner or if it was pure

National Women's Day is a South African public holiday celebrated annually on the 9 th of August. The significance of this holiday is to draw attention to the issues and social challenges faced by women on a daily basis.  These issues include domestic violence, femicides, sexual harassment, sexual assault, female education and etc, m any South Africa women have dedicated this day to help increase understanding and protest against these inhumane despicable acts against women.
