October - A Slam


For ladies out there, all young and old age
For fighters out there, all ready to show grace
For victims out there, fading at snail’s pace
October, dear October be a blessing for the braves

My mother was a beauty, brown hairs black eyes
From head to toe, an example of how to live a life
When she fell ill, I thought it was ordinary
But the doctors concluded what put me through hell

I’ve always admired the way she tied
Her long hairs in a pretty French braid
Then one day she started to hide under scarfs
I was sad, so sad, to see her this bald

I cried every night when I heard her threw up
Couldn’t tell she was same
Cause she gained weight too much

I stood deadpan in hallway of hospital
The night she lost all her potential

It was October, yes October
I prayed and prayed
October, dear October be a blessing for the braves

 "Dedicated to all victims and survivors of breast cancer."

Confess - Book Review

  A stupefying, overwhelming, must read love story.   “There are people you meet that you get to know, and then there are people you meet that you already know.”  -  Colleen Hoover, Confess The love Auburn and Owen has for each other is fate's gift. All that Owen has to do is just to be with Auburn and she feels like she has galaxies in her hands. To Owen, Auburn means life. It all starts with Owen Mason Gentry and Auburn Mason Reed meeting officially for the very first time at Dallas art studio where Owen welcomes Auburn to work with him for his show. It is not the first time Owen sees Auburn but she's unaware of the truth and Owen decides to let it be that way. Losing Adam was not easy for Auburn, for when you're fifteen and in love, it looks like you have got every thing you will ever be needing and that you won't find love again if you lose the one you have right now. You put all your potential in loving and m...

BECUTE Smooth Matte Mousse Foundation

Being a brown is like real struggle for many of us women. Half of the time we keep finding products to get fairer skin or remedies to even out our skin complexion, if not this, we keep changing products that we use in our daily make-up just to get the result that we desire. There's nothing to be ashamed of, if you want your skin to glow or your hairs to grow longer than they are. They are just your desires to look perfect, well obviously the 'perfect' we think is perfect. So like many of you I, myself, have been searching a product that can save me from my oily skin. I just wanted something, any foundation or base or like anything to get rid of the oil that my skin produces. Being a student of high school and spending whole day out in sun, especially in summers, is a nightmare obviously. I kept changing products and then one day I found this Smooth Matte Mousse Foundation (12 hours) by Becute and I swear its exactly what I was looking for. I applied it first day ...

Eleanor and Park Book Review

Eleanor & Park is the story of two star-crossed lovers written by Rainbow Rowell. Rainbow Rowell is one of my favorite writers. The magic she does with words is what every reader craves. She knows how to make her reader connect with the story and make them live it. The story is all about finding your first love and letting yourself get lost in the pleasure of being consumed by it. Rowell in an interview said "I've always, always wanted to write first love story. I feel like, when you're 16, you've the greatest ever capacity for romantic love. You fall in love with every cell of your body. But at the same time, at that age, you've so little to offer the person you love. You don't belong to yourself quite yet - you still have school & your parents, your own space - and you also know that what you're feeling probably won't last. First love usually doesn't. There's a built-in tragedy to falling (truly) in love when you're 16.It's ...
