What is?
What’s it all about?
Looking into the future
The mind sorts it out
Unknown circumstance causes fright
Dwelling in the present brings delight
If only you do it ‘right’
Everything quiets down
You’ll both settle down like the night

The snow falls larger
The wind pushes faster
A combination together makes the impact harder
It won’t settle against the ground or metal
The perfect weather to boil a hot kettle
Active mornings prepared
So it won’t sting like nettle
Acknowledge the small parts
Because…
After the Lord’s prayer
Snowflakes follow their own pattern
It’s the winter months, so every time I see sun. We don’t get much of it, so it’s basically similar to finding treasure LOL. It gives me the urge to go outside and take some more photographs. I took a trip to the Barbican centre, as they had a water feature in the middle. I didn’t know if I could get in because it’s Boxing Day, but I trusted my instincts and a way came (long story so I won’t get into it lol).
Anyways here’s a selected few of the pictures taken:
I hope you enjoy looking at the photos👁

Short poem inspired by the morning air breeze
Cold air brushing against the skin
The breeze could feel like a new thing
Light velvet feathering upon him
You leave the window open
That’s how the chill gets in
Laying on your stomach
A time for bedtime flexing
Falling asleep while the air gets work in

Heyy, guess who’s back with another nail video!😍
I’d thought I’d share the finished product with you guys, because this is the first time I’ve added extension tips to my natural nail bed. The whole process was a little bit messy but I’m guessing that’s because I’m newly starting out. Hopefully as time goes on, it will get better and will improve.
As usual, I’ve used gel top coat finish with normal nail polish from the Rimmel London (Berries and Cream, which is the purple colour) and Gabrini collection (the Gold colour)
It’s good to experiment with shades and tones of one colour. I would positively reinforce using one or more, it works even better if you’re indecisive about which one to use. This means you have the comfort of knowing you can just use as many as you want.
If you’d like your nails to have length, add extension tips. It gives a larger surface area to work with, similar to when starting art on a blank canvas. Especially, being use to natural nails, sometimes you just wish to switch up your look; so why not start with your nails and the rest will follow..
I hope you enjoy the rest of your day☺️

Here are three photographs taken at Kensington Gardens, London. I’ve included two landscape ones and one ornament picture. I tried to get there before the sun went down, but at least I managed to take them before it turned pitch black.
It can be tricky taking images during this season, because outdoor natural lighting can be so fickle. Nevertheless, you have to make the most of what you’ve got and see how you can improve it post-production.
I hope you enjoy viewing the photos 📸🙌🏾

Heyyy, I’m back again with another nail video😍
Every female can agree getting your nails done, is one of the best feelings. It brings a certain cleanliness to know you have buff nails. It also a great sight to look at your finger or toe nails and notice a pleasant view in front you.
I thought I’d share another video of my latest nail colour choice. The act and process of painting nails is therapeutic, because you concentrate on trying to perfect each nail with the brush strokes.
I decided to go with red and purple from the Rimmel London 60 Second Dry collection. The colours are called Queen of Tarts and Midnight Rendezvous. They work well together, as they are subtle colours. It’s not too bright but contrasting enough to make a difference.
It’s still the festive season, so there’s more chance to get experimental. You can choose to use these colours for when attending house parties, get-to-together or low-key events. Sometimes you’re not feeling to just use one colour, so why not use two or three (if you’re feeling a bit daring😉). There’s no limit when it comes to nail designs/patterns.
That was it with today’s post, I hope you enjoyed it and have fun playing around with different colours ✌🏾
What colours will you be using this season? Feel free to comment below ☺️
A short piece inspired by how the mind works during naps
Place your head on your forearm
Rest the mind as it relax so hard
Content playing on a mental SD card
It could be all jumbled up
That’s the messy part
Wishing the fragmented pieces
Never fell apart
The result of old memories
You remember at last
Naps are for restorative pleasure
Use that angle as a cast
That’s what happens
When your mind presses restart

A day where everything ran on course
Try out something new
Give yourself a round of applause
Expressing gratitude above to the Lord
Conserving the funds to all you can afford
If it all went to plan
Reward yourself with an gold award
Staying alert may mean you never get bored
If it all gets messy, cut the cord

A short poem inspired by a personal evening observation..
The two word title is perceiving
Dark nights comes in sweetly
Protecting the six hour evenings
Sitting in a place where you can stare up at the ceiling
Maybe all thoughts, then could have a meaning
The process of the long term memory retrieving
Battles of the short term deceiving
A mental circuit journey proceeding
That was all before the imagination leaned in
