Probably the only person on Earth that actually makes me feel good about myself.

India Arie, This song really has done a lot for me, I use to play it over and over again and still do. She is such a free spirit, I wish I could be more like that.

Video Lyrics :-
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I dont
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I wont
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
I'm not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India aria
When I look in the mirror the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where its supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes;
I'm lovin what I see Im not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel But,
I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queenIm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what Im wearing I will always be india aria
Am I less of a lady if I dont wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady aint what she wears but, what she knows
But, Ive drawn a conclusion, its all an illusion, confusions the name of the Game
A misconception, a vast deception Somethings gotta change
Dont be offended this is all my opinion
Aint nothing that Im sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share wit Yall
So get in where you fit in go on and shine Free your mind, nows the time
Put your salt on the shelfGo on and love yourself cuz everythings gonna be all right
Im not the average girl from your video
And I aint built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queenIm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what Im wearing I will always be india aria
Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I dont need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your crisp style and your pistol
Id rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Dont need your silicon I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine
Im not the average girl from your video
And I aint built like a supermodelBut,
I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queenIm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what Im wearing I will always be india aria

The other Artist I really appreciate would be Ben Harper

All of his songs are just so amazing and pure

It's hard being a woman

Ever feel like People Just don't get you?! Especially the Male kind. They don't understand how you feel and why you feel it.

Sometimes I really can't stand being Female or at least having a female brain, I heard on the news the other day that there is such a thing as a Male brain and a female brain, but you don't necessarily have to be male of female to have either of them.

But I totally agree and realise that I DEFINITELY have a female brain. The Female Brain has this huge space just devoted to emotions, the Male brain thinks more in Logic's, For example they would be better at looking at maps and puzzles, but the female brain thinks more emotionally.

I just sometimes feel so overloaded by my emotions, they control me way too much. You cry about silly things and then you are happy again but then can just get down in the dumps so fast, and you wish men could understand you but they just don't seem to be able to, even hints don't do anything, because well I guess it just isn't their fault, it is the way their Brain works, they don't have as big of an emotional area, But it just makes you feel like an idiot because you think "Why Don't you Just Get it?" Emotions... you can't seem to stop it or help it.

Am I alone in this? I doubt it. I just feel like a Mess at times, I am wondering if my chemicals are in balance... But anyway my conclusions are, that even though we Don't get each other or understand each other Perhaps we need to start doing and acting in a way that would help Males and Females really get a long better, Women Need More Affection, attention, love and Emotion, Men need things Straight forward and logical.

So if you have a male brain start giving a little more to the female brain, and Female Brains start sending out a little more logic to the Male brain and things will be so much Better!

I have looked up a few things about this, First on Wiki:-

So I hope this can help us all out. (Male Brains, Give the female brains some Flowers, chocolates and a nice note every now and then. Female brains, Give the Male brain things to Study Annalise, work out maybe a plasma TV.. )

Photography

I have always loved the art of Photography (Not that I am any good at it or do it often) but I appreciate those that do. Below are a few of my favourite pictures.

This one I took with my lovely Boyfriend

My good friend Kristel took this one a few years back, I have always loved it.
Who doesn't love dressing up?
Another one I took at this Beautiful place called Tillamook in Oregon USA.

Happy Moments

When I was younger I just loved riding my bike everywhere and now that I am older it is rare for me to get on and go for a ride as I don't actually have my own bike anymore. But it has always been one of my favourite past times. I always have these romantic thoughts of riding a long a quiet road with trees hanging over and looking across and seeing fields of Daisey's as I go by. Ah Such Bliss :-)
This would be my Dream Bike

Baking!

I have had a look at http://bakerella.blogspot.com/ Some of her recipes just look so good! So I have attempted to make some for myself.

Cupcake Pops and Cupcake Bites
They were time consuming but a lot of Fun, my first attempt I did them with
Mud cake, NOTE Not a good idea! They are very
rich ha ha

My second attempt was just the other day for my Sister-In-Laws Birthday
They went off like a house on fire. Very Fun and Delicious might I add.

Two of my Favourite Cultures, Africa and India

I just love African people, they are so Vibrant and fun and just full of life



India would be a wonderful place to visit, And who doesn't like BollyWood?

These are some of my favourite art works, that of Ophelia and similar.

John William Waterhouse is one of my favourite artists
