WHY does it always feel weird to open my mouth or give my opinion when it comes to sex or sexual behavior? Why does it seem more natural for Abdul to speak about sex more freely? Why does Becky look nonchalant when sexual slurs intentionally spills from her mouth? (If you're reading this Becky, no offense intended. I just used a non-Muslim name.) See. The thing is. As women, we are naturally a bit shy to discuss these topics. Some may claim that we shouldn't discuss it because it would be vulgar. Others would claim that it wouldn't be our place or our opinions wouldn't matter. I claim freedom of expression. It is one thing to feel shy being a woman when it comes to sex talk or sex education but it is a whole damn other thing when you're Muslim. I must say that not tooooo many people would point out my gender or religion if they would hear me discuss sex but I do not feel COMPLETELY comfortable when I speak about it. The reason why this is not that tough

Hello hellllllllo.. Just dropping by to leave something you guys can think of. So, I was in the bus today, like any other day and two women had an altercation with the driver as he said he didn't have 20c change for them. Now I know what you may be thinking, the same thing that I thought, it's just a 20c ladies. I then thought more about this as the same driver then went on and told myself and someone else that I don't have change for you, this time being a 40c and some other amount less than R1. Now you know where this is going? Yeah. Well, to be honest, I'm not here to rant about whatever amount he ended up with due to no change (I believe him) but, rather to speak about when it's okay to let it go. It's okay to let it go and say keep the change when you are buying from or paying for a service from a small company, a person or a very kind and giving entity who you trust and know NEEDS the money in order to make a living. So pick'n'pay teller?

Just a normal Saturday, waking up around 3/4 a.m because apparently my body has gotten used to being awake at shitty hours because of my shitty shift. Decided to download a few old comedies and take advantage of my off-peak wifi cos how else am I ganna use it??? Went to the doctor to get my health sorted and even shaved my legs this morning which is a fucking miracle. On our car journey home, I just randomly thought of how I didn't blog in a while then thought of why it was. I then started to ponder and ponder and ponder. I felt like I just wanted to take a break from all social media (besides Whatsapp) to re-evaluate my life choices and what I put out there. I thought to myself, "you know what? You don't have to do this. You can live a minimalistic social life and be free of social media's noose around your neck and just live. Live freely. That's it." You know, we often think that only the physical things in life creates barriers and obstacles for us bec

So as most of you may know, I have been on a no make-up rave and have been loving it. This makes me turn to dealing with the root of the skincare problem instead of concealing it. Pun intended. I have been turning to my oh-so lovely diy face mask (click here for more on that) now more than ever. I'll pop a few pictures below so that you can see how nice it makes your skin and that you don't have to look dull when you're bare faced.  Don't mind the foil on my head. That was just an olive, mayo and egg hair mask.  Some mascara and eyebrow gel. I now personally have this tiff with makeup where I think it's just a whooooole lot of bs. No offence to the make-up artists and the ones who wears it because we're all just victims. I feel like when I used to wear it (full face), I got so used to seeing myself that way that when I actually take it off I don't see myself as attractive at all. There was no self love when there was make-up
