A Brighter Tomorrow

At this moment in my life , I can finally say that I am happy . I am happy with myself . I am happy that i have the greatest friends in the world that love me no matter what . I have finally decided to stop complaining about minor situations that I may have and that truly does not stop my world from moving on. I have learnt to thank God in every situation. Sometimes we take a little problem and put it on a pedestal but we forget those who have the worst problems and who are in the worst situations . Situations where there seems to be no hope and yet they keep on believing and smiling . We complain if we don’t get a certain type of food that we like but we forget that there are people who do not have a choice ,who do not have any food to choose from . We are upset about our physical appearance but yet we are comfortable . There are human beings out there that would give anything to be in your situation no matter how little you think you have . We should learn to embrace our souls. Look into each other’s souls and love that person genuinely . After all from dust we came and to dust we shall return. At the end of the day when we leave this earth , we shall be remembered for our spirits and not our bodies . Our bodies will decay and that shows that it is not eternal but our spirits live on forever. Look forward and see that there is light and follow that light and reach for your dreams . In every situation you find yourself in , Praise Almighty God for he knows what is best .

Have a wonderful day guys !

OZ Naturals' Super Youth Eye Gel Review!!!

  This company sent me their eye gel to review .According to the packet , the ingredients are organic Aloe, Matrixyl 3000 , palmitoyi , stem cells and etc . Also , it is made in the USA and is 75% organic .according to the packet , it also says it eliminates Dark circles and Puffiness and soothes and softens the Eye Area  and it will produce Dramatically Radiant and youthful Eyes . I have been using this product for a while now although not everyday because to be honest i forget sometimes . I naturally have dark circles around my eyes. I can't really tell if they have reduced or as it says if the dark circles have been eliminated but one thing i have noticed while using this product is that it makes my eyes look mire vibrant esoecially when i have not had enough sleep and my eyes are puffy , instead of using a concealer , i just put this on and it reduces the puffiness . If you are interested in this product , the link is below:

I am....

A girl is locked deep down in my soul. She is very different. She is unlike me . Sometimes little pieces of her come out of her hiding place. She is not afraid of anything. She is brave and beautiful. She is the perfect everything . I am scared to let her go free especially when we are surrounded, I tell her “no , stay in until later” but sometimes she overpowers me . I am the keeper of her jail and no matter how strong she thinks she is , I have the keys to her soul . When we are alone, she comes out to play . I like it when we play . We can finally be ourselves. Free to do as we please and we escape society’s pejorative eyes.We go out and we play . She is liked by many but known by none . She is me . I am her . We are us.
