7 Facts About Cancers, the Zodiac’s Loyal Crabs

It’s almost summertime, which means  Cancer szn , bb!!! From June 21 to July 22, expect the waterworks to be in full swing. And I’m not just talking about the ocean, pool, or sweat from all your at-home workouts. Cancer season means ~emotions~, aka a few tears and all the deep feels. If you didn’t know,  Cancer is a water sign , so like their fellow water friends (hi, Pisces and Scorpio), Cancers are totally submerged in their surroundings.  They simply cannot help that they’re ruled by their emotions!!  They perceive others’ feelings intensely—like, I’m talking borderline  psychic  deep. For better or worse, Cancers tend to be clouded by their many changing moods and vivid imagination…which *cough* is why we are here today. Before we do a deep dive, lemme make one thing clear:  Cancers are NOT crybabies .   For some reason, these sweet summer babes are associated with very false stereotypes. But fret not, I’m here to clear all this up, because th...

How you wear it!

Image
Hey there. Wake up!!! 😬 Okay, thanks. Now let's just briefly tell ourselves stuff. How do you wear it?  How do you convert your bedroom clothes to fab attires. Always remember, that nobody out there knows what you use your clothes for as long as they still look appealing. Faded clothes are very easy to cause some form of disdain from others. So if you cannot fix your faded out clothes then, convert them to something else that people don't need to see. Spice up your "ordinary" clothes with accessories - fashion statement "catalysts". Feel free to switch things up and wear your clothes in a way that people won't realize when you repeat them. Enjoy the mixups. Belts, jackets, jewelry, bags, socks, appropriate footwear are all magic. Well, soon I'll write on footwear and how important they are. Also, I'll write on color combinations and how to avoid looking like 'Rainbow the Clown'. Until then, try to always look fabulous...

Goodbye to Whatsapp

Earlier this week, messaging service WhatsApp celebrated its seventh anniversary with  its one billion active users , but the team waited until Friday night to bury some less positive news: the app will soon be discontinued on BlackBerry and Nokia devices running those companies' operating systems. Yes, that includes BlackBerry 10 — an OS that last shipped on a new phone less than a year and a half ago. BlackBerry itself eschewed the OS when building its latest flagship, the Android-powered Priv slider phone, so perhaps it should come as little surprise that major developers like the Facebook-owned WhatsApp are abandoning it as well. WhatsApp's announcement  also includes Nokia's low-end S40 and S60 Symbian platforms, as well as the older Android 2.2 and Windows Phone 7.1 operating systems. The Nokia S40 discontinuation will likely put many users of older Nokia phones in developing countries in a bit of a bind. WhatsApp suggests "upgrading to a newer Android, iPhone,...

http://www.ispyontextmessages.com/wp-content/uploads/iphone-5-text-message-sms.jpg A few days ago my daughter and I went to a local metaphysical bookstore, after I picked her up from work.  As we checked the shelves to see if anything new came in (like some sweetgrass) and cards, I heard a familiar voice in the background talking. Familiar enough to turn my head and listen to the conversation that this man and the clerk at the counter were having.  I walked toward the man and said, "What is your name?"  He said, "Fred," and I said, "Fred from Stargate? Oh my GOD, I don't believe it! How are you?"   He greeted me by my (at one time) married name, but he knew me and remembered who I was.  I was so thrilled to see him, he was a piece of my old life that I am starting to reconnect with.  I went over and hugged him tight; maybe too tight, I learned later.  Fred used to get readings from me when I worked as a reader out of a place called Stargate here. ...

Life!

Into wealth... I was born. Even before me, my parents were born into it. With a silver spoon in my mouth! Life was sweet. It had meaning , there were no regrets , no worries , no thought whatsoever of what I wanted for the future . I was certain it held alot for me. I was too busy enjoying the present. I lived in my today and not in my tomorrow. My life was flawless and indestructible. I lived lavishly. I was loved by all , I could get any friend I wanted in a flash, I was a charm. I never knew my true friends. I was bold and outspoken. I had high self esteem. I was proud of myself and loved the attention I got from everyone . I was a good believer , I loved Him cos I got all I asked from him.. Maybe I should mention... I was unrealistic, naive and delusional . cos I never saw life from another perspective , simply because I had all I wanted. "A sweet life" . And everyday was a dream come true. I craved for more "An extra hour in each day". Not f...

Dairy of a dreamer

Image
What is your dream of a perfect life? What is being successful to you? When you talk about being successful you hear things like accomplishing, achieving, fulfilling. So many come to this world go through the same pattern of life (grow in a happy home, go to good schools and finish with good grades, get a good job after , marry a person of their dreams , have kids and happily ever after) . sincerely do you also imagine those stuffs? Well that's being successful because the dreams and goals were fulfilled, but those dreams are too shallow, I refer to that as MEDIOCRITY . Mediocrity and the norm: when we talk about mediocrity we use words like commonplaceness, ordinariness, lack of inspiration etcetera. Life has more to offer than those shallow aspirations  . The entire humanity has only been able to use 10% of available human brain power! If Albert Einstein himself used only 7% , you can imagine how many percent of yours you have used. Research says most human who research and ...

Rihanna > Michael Jackson?

Image
Fresh off the release of the video for her song “Work” featuring Drake, Rihanna has another huge success to celebrate. According to  Billboard , the starlet scored her 14th number one hit on the Hot 100 singles chart with “Work,” making her the artist with the third-highest amount of No. 1s in the history of the chart. She’s behind The Beatles (20) and Mariah Carey (18), but she just edged out Michael Jackson, who has 13 No. 1 hits to his name. “Navy you killed it this week! #NavyRDie,” the belated birthday beauty wrote on Twitter Monday (Feb. 22) after the song took the gold spot. Her album  ANTI  is also the number three album right now after its released late last month. Drake thanked his former flame on Instagram for another number one hit together. Their first was 2010’s “What’s My Name?” Congrats to the two for another hit song. - vibe.com (source: Yahoo News)

Danshiki Weekend

Image
Hello. It's me. I was wondering if after all the week's hardwork you'd like to chill out (composer of life 😉). So guys, give the suits a break and let's go traditional. Danshiki will be with us today 😎. The Danshiki is a timeless piece and it never goes out of style.

Okay so I took some time to compile a few ways you can style your Danshiki and look effortlessly fabulous. Perfect for casual, chic, classy, African looks. 1) We have the Danshiki and the skinny jeans for those with fabulous legs that they are proud of (e. g me😉). This combo is simple, stressless and beautiful. 2) Danshiki and shorts. This is my personal favorite. I mean, the authenticity is just immeasurable. I love this look and there are so many ways you can alter the look and be extremely dapper. 3) For the ladies, make a Dansh...

Talent

Image
Hey guys. So I've been thinking lately about gifts and talents. I tried figuring out whether I had one and I concluded I didn't. But one of my smart friends (not really smart tho😉😯)  told me that I couldn't possibly be that bad. He was right, I have hope. So, talents according to me are like those things we have naturally, effortlessly and that we can invest with to yield some profit for ourselves. Talents make us marketable. Talents are of a wide variety. Creativity and sometimes imitation and replication form the backbone of talent. Now, whatever you find yourself being very good at, exploit it. Get your money's worth or just make yourself happy. Don't waste anything. The collision of talent and passion is very intricate. While some are fortunate enough to be passionate in the area of their talents, others are quite polar in that situation. Trying to merge your passion and your talents into one is probably singlehandedly the most fulfil...

This guy just ruined Nutella for me

Andrew Willson , a 48 - year -old high school drama teacher in Northampton, UK , was put in prison for 20 months and given 10 years on the sex offenders’ register after he pleaded guilty to five counts of indecent assault , according to Lancashire Police . The assault occurred in the mid- 90 s , when his victim —who was also his student —was between 14 and 15 years old . According to the Mirror UK , Willson had the girl pulled out of a science class so she could have sex with him. Prosecutor Emma Kehoe tells The Mirror , “ The two of them had Nutella and licked it from their naked bodies . Mr . Willson was very keen that she got home to catch the school bus though because her parents knew nothing of what was going on .” Detective Mick Smith elaborates on Willson ’s horrifying actions to the Lancashire Constabulary , “ Willson abused his position of trust as a teacher and groomed his victim before taking advantage of her while she was a pupil at the school . Up until his arrest in Dec...

THE BIGGEST OFFENDER 😱

The world's deadliest creature isn't what you'd expect. A 2014 graphic from Bill Gates' blog outlined the number of deaths per year related to animals. Scroll down and you'll see the biggest offender: mosquitoes. (GatesNotes.com)  Yes, mosquitoes — the pesky bugs that suck blood and transmit viruses from person to person — are responsible for the most animal-related deaths. "When it comes to killing humans, no other animal even comes close," Gates noted on the blog. Malaria by itself is responsible for more than half of mosquito-related deaths, predominantly in sub-Saharan Africa, though that incidence fell by 37% between 2000 and 2015, according to the World Health Organization. Dengue fever, another mosquito-borne disease, has become a leading-cause of hospitalization and death among children in some Asian and Latin-American countries. And it's not just deaths that mosquitoes are responsible for. The recent spread of the Zika virus in the A...

Communication in a Relationship

Communication is a vital part of our lives: a typical day involves many interactions between ourselves, our work colleagues and clients, our children, our friends, our ex's, future relationships, etc. This interaction takes place where we live, work, relax, socialize and wherever we perform routine tasks.  Communication skills are critical for building healthy relationships, especially when one realizes that one of the most common causes of relational breakdown is a lack of communication. Just as communication can be the most important part of a relationship; arguments can be the most destructive aspect - the closer we are to someone, the more easily we can bruise or be bruised. There is very little truth in the saying: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never harm me." It's not what we say, but rather how we say it, that most often hurts another person.  Do you identify with any of these statements?  "He never listens to me when I talk!...

DIY: 7 steps on how to Rip your own Jeans

Image
Buying already ripped jeans can be very expensive and unacceptable 😕. So Hey, here's an idea: Rip your own Jeans😎. Here are some simple steps that'll guide you through the exciting process of "distressing" your jeans. 1) Get out a pair of jeans that you have selected to perform the surgery on😉. You could purchase new jeans but the old ones are usually better, especially light-colored and faded jeans as you can achieve a more distressed look with these. 2) Of course you're gonna need tools, d'uh. Get your blade or pair of scissors out (for clean rips)  or sandpaper/a pumice stone for a more distressed look. 3) Mark the section of the jeans you'd like to rip with anything that can draw lines. Make sure to aim a little higher than the knee so that it doesn't cause widening of the rip while you're walking around (you know, if your knee gets caught in one of the holes, it'll rip it more). Also don't aim to...

. Daughter moves wedding to dad's hospital room so he could be part of it

Image
A North Carolina woman decided to hold her wedding in a hospital room so her terminally ill father could be a part of her big day. Kaila Kirby, planned to tie the knot in July, but after her father's pulmonary fibrosis took a turn for the worse, she decided to improvise. “I just kind of wanted my Dad to give me away on my wedding day,” Kalia Kirby told WBTV. On Wednesday morning, Kaila Kirby and her fiancé Daniel Pardue stood beside Jubal Kirby’s hospital bed at the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C., and said their vows. With only a few hours to prepare, hospital staff pulled together $45 in donations and bought fresh flowers and cake to celebrate the wedding, the Observer reported. About 50 friends and relatives surrounded the couple as they tied the knot, according to the newspaper. And while a wedding in a hospital room may seem rare, it wasn’t the first vow said in Jubal Kirby's hospital room this week. Jubal Kirby married his daughter’s mother in a shor...

Image
Have you ever wondered what your favourite photo on canvas would look like? Once my friend got there photo of their holidays printed on canvas and it something that is very unique I would say. He found a great website online and sent them his images and they transformed his photos on to lovely canvas prints, I am now a really big fan and I am looking to get my own. First of all I will be looking at allot of websites as with this current climate you need to look for the bargains and I bet there is allot of great canvas printing businesses out there that not only can print your photos on canvas for a great prince but I�m obviously looking for the best quality to which hopefully is going to be the case because sometimes it's worth paying a little bit more for the quality in a product, especially if it's something like a canvas print and you want to have the best materials and the best printers working on your order. I just love the texture of them, you would think that to print...

Photography In A Pinch

Image
Good photographers try to be prepared for almost any contingency. Unfortunately, if you tried to carry everything you'd need to meet every contingency in the field, you'd have to pack like a Bedouin trader. Many times that simply isn't possible and other times it's not desirable. So the seasoned photographer learns to be resourceful. Here are a few miscellaneous tips that can save your back, particularly on short trips near home. A Monopod In all but the most extreme lighting situations a monopod can substitute nicely for a tripod and is a lot easier to carry. With practice you'll be able to hold a monopod nearly as stable as a tripod, for a short time anyway. Another trick for stabilizing a monopod is to wrap the camera strap around your upper arm and push on the monopod while exerting gentle backward pressure on the strap. Similarly, you can place a large clamp on your monopod and use it as a shoulder brace, almost like a gun mount. It might look a little ...

Televisions and Us

Image
Hey guys. Top of the morning. Hope your day's been off to a great start. Mine certainly has, Okay maybe not certainly but it'll be better 😰. Now, Televisions Many people (especially parents 😒)  claim that television is one of the reasons children are getting "stupid-er". I totally do not agree. The television is the medium through which we can relate with the rest of the world, accessible or not, visually. Movies are very educative (all kinds), believe it or not. There's hardly a movie you see that has nothing you can learn from, whether good or bad, useful or not. And obviously, movies are a depiction of the real world that most people cannot access. So the television indirectly takes you through time and land, helping you form your own opinions and opening your eyes to the things that happen all over the world through news, television series, animations, live shows, sports, etc. The television has done more good than harm, although ...
Hey guys, I'm Gbemisoke (aka Emmanuella)*winks*. I'll be posting some pretty cool stuff here and we're definitely gonna have so much fun. Okay byeee.

What is the best way to keep my bike from being stolen?

The best way to protect your bicycle is: *Have more security on your bike than the bike it's parked next to.? Looking at many different locks that are available, most do the basic securing of a bike. A lock can be as costly as you choose to make it, from a few dollars for a basic lock which does nothing to prevent theft, to over a hundred dollars for a really good lock.  The most popular product used to protect homes, cars and motor bikes is: An Alarm!  Most cars have them why not my bike?  While looking for a good lock I decided to look at alarms also. A separate bike alarm will cost from $25.00 to well over a hundred dollars. An alarm is a great idea because this is something that makes a lot of noise and attracts a bunch of attention. The noise is an excellent deterrent, thieves do not want attention, just to grab the item and run.  I had purchased a lock and also a separate alarm to try and remedy the situation to help me keep my bike from being stolen. I n...

Stopping Waste Pollution by Profitable Bottle Recycling

With the urban development across the major cities of British Columbia, there is a fear of over-dumping of landfills and increased waste pollution. Especially, glass and plastic waste has been increasing in the recent times. We find a lot of waste comprising of plastic bottles, glass bottles, beverage cans and tins, alcohol containers etc.  This has led to a massive dumping of the landfills across different centers of British Columbia. The Vancouver city is no longer untouched of the menace of over-crowding landfills and waste dumps. In order to fight this present situation, recycling has become a sort after method. It can be used to curb the waste deposition and increase the reuse of various reusable waste material such as plastic and glass. More often than not, we tend to overlook the potential of waste as a potential commodity that can be reused after quality and professional recycling processes.  The latest to hit the recycling horizon is the concept of profitable recyc...

Keeping it Simple

Over the past few months, the concepts of stripping back the superfluous, simplifying and pulling apart the true meaning of integrity have been strong personal themes. For many people, there�s a drive to again inspect old patterns that continue to run happily in the background despite years of self-examination. Perhaps under the direction of a new global energy, there�s a sense of being able to lovingly let go of those things that have served us all well on one level, yet have offered excuses to stay small on another. I came across Don Miguel Ruiz� �The Four Agreements� the other day and it strongly resonated with this desire to pare back; to simplify; to become more real as a participant in this world and begin operating in a more authentic way. With these 4 simple tenets, we could literally change the way we as humans operate in this world. How do they resonate with you? Please feel free to share your thoughts, we�d love to hear from you. 1. Be Impeccable with your Word: Speak...
