Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night - Dylan Thomas

Welcome to my Blog!!

2014 marks the centenary of Dylan Thomas’ birth; to celebrate the life and times of Swansea’s most famous son, I began reading some of his works. The one below is a favourite of mine because I believe it's a warning to live life to its fullest. That even if you're going down not to make it easy on yourself 'That Good Night' signifies death to me. Keep Fighting.
What do you think this poem is about??

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

UNTITLED

Asked myself why I never got a tattoo to remember my brother.

Honestly, I don't need it. I'll never forget him or what happened to him;
I could never write anything about his Life -and death- on my skin or anywhere else.
Not because of its insignificance in my life but simply because: there are No Words.
No words to truly do justice to my feelings on the subject.
To quote an old proverb:
A man wrote a poem on set in stone about LOSS,
Days later he scratched it out.
Loss cannot be described through scriptures.
It has to be endured.

Like love, loss isn't one feeling. It is a mixture of them all;
A wave of pain and emptiness that no amount of writing will ever fill.

Beauty Benefits of Coconut Oil - A Fab Life video

Welcome back to my Blog!
I love everything coconut related. I love eating it, drinking it (both milk and cream), cooking with it, applying it to my hair; Making DIYs stuff for my hair and skin care as regulars visiting my Blog will know...
So, I thought I'd share a video made by one of my favourite Youtubers: A Fab Life showing the benefits and uses of coconut oil, better than I ever could.
Enjoy,

The Likes of Us - Elsa

Aspirations were not meant for the likes of us
We cannot afford to pay its price
Private schools, elite universities
Legalised gangs and clubs: entry by credit card only.
£20,000 minimum.
This not so simple five letter word brings with it
Problems the likes of us cannot comprehend.
It means seeing beyond the special confines of our lives
Time has taught the likes of us our destiny is to be nothing
Below everyone else only good enough to serve
The likes of us should never read. Why, reading is the same as
Being glued to front of a warm bread filled bakery with an empty stomach
And equally empty pockets.
The likes of us accept our fate not because we want to;
The likes of us accept our fate because once we do we can feel much better.
The likes of us have our dreams stuck in the back of our throats claggy and sticky
Corrupted by fate, circumstance and experience.
Till they are no more than annoying distractions.
The likes of us, like the rest you just want to be happy.

Best Hair Mask In The World

Hi, welcome back to my blog!
I've been playing around with different hair masks for a few weeks now; changing the protein content egg, banana, avocado or a combination. Various oils, binding agents to make a better texture for application to different hair types. This next 'recipe' is in my opinion THE BEST HAIR MASK IN THE WORLD. Hope you like it. Happy Hair Day!! You scroll down to the very short video...

PS: Technically the mixture is edible, but please do not eat it. Taste Vile.

Today Is The Day

TODAY IS THE DAY I GO EASY ON MYSELF
TODAY IS THE DAY I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SAY I'M WORTH IT
TODAY IS THE DAY I  STOP FIGHTING AND START LIVING
TODAY IS THE DAY MY OPINION IS THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS
TODAY IS THE DAY I HELP PEOPLE, EVEN ONLY A LITTLE
TODAY IS THE DAY I STOP BEING SCARED
TODAY IS THE DAY LIFE CAN DO ITS' WORSE
TODAY IS THE DAY I SAY BRING IT ON
TODAY IS THE DAY.

First Day at Work - Truth

Got lost going to work this morning, my first day.
Got to a roundabout no idea where to go, thinking I'm going to lose this job before I even start.
Fighting back tears I called my recruitment agent and he drove me there (ashamed is the word)
Hope I haven't ruined everything

Book Review - Bitten by Kelley Armstrong

Hi and Welcome back to my blog,
Recently finished reading Bitten by Kelley Armstrong, here's my review.
Its a first book in a series about supernatural beings such as werewolves, focuses on a female werewolf called Elena who is trying to escape 'pack' life. Very easy read, but won't change your life.
