Blindsniper has some really awesome blogs going on beauty. Thought I'd just add my own thoughts.

I watched an episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County, on http://www.bravotv.com, and it seems extreme makeovers are all the rage these days, with botox injection parties. Plastic surgery is on the rise. Many people are trying to match the extraordinary measures actors and actresses go through to look perfect on the screen. These are shortcuts taken to try to create happiness with a s [...]

Lessons from a spider

As a kid i loved reading as i derived much pleasure from doing so. I read through many picture books several times, like Little Bear and A Monster at the End of This Book. But my first real book, one with chapters, was Charlotte's Web.

I really loved this story as it unfolded. I loved the characters and the storyline. I could see the webs that spelled out "some pig". And this is why I was so disappointed in the ending.

Yes, disappointed. In fact, p [...]

This world is full of chaos and hurt; heartache and pain. Life isn�t fair. It�s easy to become cynical.

But I believe God brings us miracles to help us keep from losing faith. There are little things that happen every day that prove He is present. Miracles? Maybe. Coincidence? Possibly.

No matter how [...]

It's Christmas time. We can tell because of the increased traffic, the slammed malls (even in this time of economic turmoil), the Christmas lights adorning neighbourhoods, even the occasional church sign that mentions Advent. We know its Christmas because every jewelry store, toy store and car dealership are working overtime and drying up their marketing budgets with advertisements. Yes, it's the special time of year that can be so intoxicating that it makes you forget, quite often really, what [...]

Do you ever have one of those nights where you wake up and have to pee? Then, stumbling to the bathroom you realise the true reason you’re awake is because you have a stomach ache, but you can’t tell if the discomfort is last night’s Chang's Funky Chinese Chicken talking, or a feminine issue that might need your attention? And are you thirsty because you didn’t have enough water with the plum wine at Chang’s, but you don’t wanna drink anything beca [...]

Dear Pietermaritzburg, my ex-town

Dear Pietermaritzburg my ex-town,

I guess these are the thoughts of an infinite number of people after a break up, a million or more unsent letters, a rehashing of the ins and out of our relationship. I bet you never expected a letter like this from me, but I hope it finds you well.
