A little city tour

-
I'm travelling again, with mother. I seem to always have to go somewhere with her every single often.  A few months ago we were in Poland,  which was beautiful and now, this month we are in Iowa, USA.
This post isn't going to have as much writing. U want to share my photos of Des Moines. I spent a week searching to buy a canon 5D,  but had to put that off cos those thing a bloody expensive. So here's what I've captured with my blackberry q5.

We visited The Art Centre- the building looked like a mini Getty Centre.


Then stopped off at Salisbury House which was built from material shipped over from England. 





We saw the Governor's house on Terrence Hill. 
Paid a visit to the Grand Capitol hall and walked along the dam by the Women of Achievement bridge.

My Hair Angel

It was only a few weeks ago I looked at my hair, fed up. It always seems dry, yet I'm forever moisturising it. It's grown out, but has no shape. It's so bushy it takes forever to do each day. The journey of leaving relaxers and hair straighteners, has been long, and today more woman are embracing their curls and learn how to manage them. I, however was contemplated cutting it short again and thought to revert back to relaxing it after 4 years. Neither I really wanted to do. I'm still learning and trying to find what is best and works well for my hair. I've watched endless amounts of Youtube videos seeking advice from others with curly or unruly hair. But what I need is a miracle! Brown Beauty Talk-special guest,  Subrina Kidd My  prayers were answered.  My hair Angel had come to save me from the woes of my natural curly hair.  The amazing Subrina Kidd, who I'd been introduced to a few years back at the Toni and Guy academy called me to see if I wa

Unfinished writing :2015

I had every good intention tho write today. But the minute I sat down at my desk I decided to quickly upload some photos to my Tumblr page. Quickly was not how it was done. I could feel my brain bleed with despair as the connection with the internet staggered at a painful pace. The frustration building up as something that should have taken 5 minutes now took over 30. I had lost my train of thought in writing due to the stupid wifi. Maybe I should gather my things and head to an internet cafe. It's 3:30pm now, by the time I get ready and get anywhere it will be pointless....I've written off today....haaaahaaahaa. I've written off today. What a perfect pun, seeing as I haven't written anything. I have however watched three episodes, maybe four of Empire, whilst Ironing (a task I should have battled through last week.) And monitored my in take of water with a new app, which I laughed at the other month. 'Who needs an app to tell them to drink water!'  Well cl

Who are you without them? POEM

Who are you without them?  Are you standing tall in a room on your own? Have you got the confidence to dine alone?  Will you laugh aloud when they missed the punch, because they're too drunk and you're not stoned or half cut to un hear every syllable in each and every tone. Fall into place, put your hand on your waist, your disjointed body and face. Any thing to save grace. For that taste, the inclusive, judgemental party race.  But who are you without them? Can you walk alone, stay at home, happy to not pick up the phone. For socials aren't socials in flesh and bone. Are you OK without the phone? Is your time more valuable than your health? Giving time is humans true wealth.  Time giving, time without sleep, time to meet your mates in the streets. Time that's not replaced as you give away what family needs. Time they didn't rush when you picked up the phone saying 'Hey, let's meet.' Who are you without them?
