DIY: Spruce Up your Shoes

What you will need:

A pair of ballerina shoes 
Fabric paint
Paint brushes
Hot glue gun
Ribbon
Vintage buttons
Masking tape

Mask off the area in which you want to paint. Paint 1 coat and let dry for 15-20 minutes. Paint another coat and let dry for 24 hours for proper curing. Remove masking tape to reveal your design.

Using ribbon you can create a floral shoe adornment. Glue a button in the middle of this ribbon flower. Then attach this flower to your shoe via hot glue gun. Press firmly and hold for 2 minutes until the hot glue has cooled. You can make all sorts of designs with ribbon and buttons, the options are endless. Just use your creativity to create a design.

Fog

As if a blanket of candy floss surrounded us as we ventured through the cold, dark and blurry morning.

The air is crisp with a sweet scent of the meadows. Peaceful and weightless as the mist floats over the fields of hay.

Addiction

Ignored and unloved.
Upon the deepest love,
Feeling lonesome in this place called a nest.
To be one,
We must be connected.
Words become scarce,
Neglected.

Indulging on decadence in silence,
Passing time alone,
But yet there he is.
Staring upon his cold shoulder,
Memories of his silhouette,
Is what I remember.

Dozing off into the late night hours,
Only to find him up and about.
Waking up to laughter and shouting,
The stumbling sounds of disruption,
Disrespectful and insensibility.
Awaken by noise,
Anger lives within me now. 

Is this a dream I live upon?
Is this reality or is this a game?

Autumn Growing Up

Growing up I always admired the colorful trees along the cityscape of the highway. The damp crisp air of the wee hours in the morning. The crunchy frosted lawn. Jack Frost visits us every night. The smell of the morning fresh air is refreshing.

Christmas carols are playing at every shopping centre. Everything smells like cinnamon pine cones. There's nothing but hot apple cider on my mind.

After a long walk in the park, I liked curling up next to the crackling fire. As I sipped hot cocoa and awaited a delicious home cooked meal. I doze off to the warmth of the fireplace and the familiar sounds of my mother cooking.

Love

Loving someone is loving them as a whole. There are things you love about them. And things that you are not fond of. We try to embrace every aspect of them. You learn to love them.

But what if your loved one is doing something to harm themselves? What would you do at that point? Do you intervene? What is your intervention?

Communicate and put a voice to your thoughts. If they don't want to listen or ignore your love and your opinion. Or they may thank you and make a change in their lifestyle. Sometimes they may keep their promise and change their habits. But is this just a temporary or permanent change?

You may often hear people say that their spouses bring out the better in them. But what if something worse is brought out? What do you do then?

People that Make you or Break you

Have you ever thought about how your significant other, friends, family and people around you affect you as a person?

I mean not everyone is perfect for each other and not everyone gets along either. Have you ever had someone in your life that makes you laugh when you're sad and gives you a hug when you need some encouragement? Someone who lends you a shoulder to cry on or someone that helps you get back up on your feet when you have hit rock bottom. Keep them close by as they are hard to come by. These are your true friends.

You may think that to be a silly thought but there are many wolves dressed in sheep's clothing nowadays. For instance you had someone be nice to you and invite you to a party only so that you can get them a great deal at the venue. Then treat you inhumanly, be rude and tell you to go home if you don't like it. That's a 'woof' alright.

A true friend doesn't talk behind your back. Someone that loves you doesn't tell you who to be friends with. A grateful person will know how to say 'please & thank you.' A true friend doesn't treat your relationship as a game and they surely don't keep score. A truly genuine friend will learn to say 'Sorry,' when they know that they have wronged you.

There are second chances in life & relationships. But when you pour your heart out and all you get in return is greed and selfishness. How many times will you fall into this trap from the wolves? Fool me 3 times, Strike and you're out of my life.

What Makes A Man Sexy?

In my opinion a man is sexy when he is knowledgeable and mature. Men that enjoy household chores and ones that can cook a fabulous meal are just as charming.

What are other traits that are appealing to women? A man that smells nice, well groomed, well dressed and has a fit physique. Being polite, chivalrous and romantic can be a perk.

A big "no, no" to men out there chivalry is not dead and it still makes a girl happy to see you open a door for her and not slam it in her face.

While most men think females are genetically programmed to be loving and caring. Do you expect them to be the perfect housewife like Samantha from Bewitched? That phase is now history.



Women have evolved to a more independent breed. I believe in hard work and I like to live a glamorous life. You work hard you play even harder. I don't want to spend my waking hours cooking and cleaning like a maid.



A man that helps around the house on a weekly basis on their own will is one of the top traits a woman finds sexy.



Most male friends I've spoken to about this topic have chuckled and said "are you kidding me?" No, I'm not. It's true.
