Limerence

noun, psychology  

A relatively new term that was coined in the late 1970's,by psychologist Dorothy Tennov in the book Love and Limerence: The Experience Of Being In Love which describes the state of being involuntarily obsessed or infatuated with another person. It's a very fatal attraction- with the person who is obsessed feeling that their overblown emotions are reciprocated, whether or not this is actually the case...
I remember studying the Attachment Theory, which emphasises that 'most' of the intense emotions are during the formation period.

Science in formulating LOVE

during the period of Infatuation there is an increase of norepinephrine an dopamine levels in the brain as well as testosterones. now think about the effects of superficial dopamine and norepinephrine - serotonin which is being in the state of estacy just that the receptive compounds of the actual drug... your body naturally releases these chemicals which makes this stage of limerence so confusing yet so addictive to the point one becomes 'crazy in love' which is infact crazy in limerence... 

according to Helen Fish, PhD, author of the book Anatomy of Love. along with the aforementioned, she also mentioned that when we move into the attachment phase there is an increase of vasopressin and oxytocin whilst the other hormones return to its normal state. 

this can explain why people become unfaithful, i think this can also be scientifically proven if I research further, the obsession with limerence can lead to a constant search for this madness,excitement, the constant high on Limerence - think about it.

this word I came across by chance in the Natural Health Magazine but it's not just a new word that I've learnt, its human behaviour all rolled up into one, there is a meaning and a concept and further research to understand the meaning fully.

No More I Love You's

...................................................................................................................................................................

live performance by Annie Lennox of course. The original was released in 1986 by a band I think called the 'the lover speaks' but Annie made it a hit of her own... I think it is actually best to listen to the original recording (Annie Lennox version)to appreciate where this post is coming from. I merely wanted to share this song and also the amazing ... Annie Lennox. I have such love and appreciation for artistic concepts.. she is an undertaker. #epic.com.. 

something...it has been on repeat for the pass how many hour or so.... bare in mind it is very early morning or rather super late late late night that I am posting this. I just so badly wanted to share the space I am in.

This song is haunting in a positive vibe kinda way, ...lyrical genius is Joseph Hugh and David Freeman.. As diverse artists we all think of music we would cover, well except that the fact that fashion is my main area of focus, however if I had the opportunity I would soooo totally cover this record... the raw, deep emotions stems from a place I could so relay..  

......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

If you watch the voiceUK then perhaps you have heard the cover by Karl Michael .. I absolutely love the tone in his voice plus the arrangements he made on the track. I guess he is the reason I had to pull this track out on have on repeat..

absolutely fabulous voice, I just want him to sing to me all day long.. it has been forever since there as been a male vocalist that emotes lyrics as such...in my opinion that is... he made me feel .. awesomeness!!! ^.^

#karlmichael 

No more I love you's
The language is leaving me....
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me in silence...
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting
Outside the words

SUNSHINE 'N' SHADES

Touring around London, going here, going there... picking up this, dropping off that.. It has been such a busy busy day.. but the upside to it is that it is sooo beautiful to be out in the sun, rather I would still prefer to be in the park having a Corona or 2 my fav off course. 

I envy all the people I've seen in Hyde Park and Finsbury Park today enjoying that bottle laying on blankets with ya besties laughing and joking.. I wanna do that..

The angle of which this photo was taken is obviously not very flattering ^.^ but I could resist showing off the fact that I can now but my hair up yhhhh... for the first time in a forever time lol my hair does not look like a 'mop-afro'  so I'm well pleased with that.

Look of  the day

colourful bra, peak that shade strap - vintage because I have had it for so long. lol

Graphic White - Tee

Skinny Black Jeans

Black and white low converses

top off with midnight blue shades - gifted  

not forgetting the Fab Amy Winehouse  'lioness' be booming out my beats' 

Gots' to love that Jazz.. 

can you picture my day?

I love feeling high

Taking a break out the studio and on the landing.

standing straight I look up to the sky and inhale has deeply as I possibly can... let it all out... and look across at the land. I see beauty in this destructive system that has us doomed if we don't come to prioritise what's more important in our lives.

Standing here gives me a feeling of ease' I love that feeling.

it isn't that high only if you were to fall you would surely die lol however it does help you put things into prospective.. in more simpler terms.. its a great place to take a break when you have a lot on your mind. Just don't have a trip and jump. ha'

Converse in that --- Rebel footwear

I saw this very small Article in Time Out magazine, if you all read that you'll know its great for information on gigs and new artists ect.. its free so you should all read it. Anyway... I saw this little article about sneakers' or in fact the original sneakers in my eyes are Chuck Taylor converse ..

my choice of footwear for seasons. Fashion staple!

The description in the article enthused my interested, it totally hit the nail on the head when describing the personality of the shoes or infact the wearer being an 'eternal free spirit', well the original wearers that is. 

Nowadays it is one of the most popular footwear where almost perhaps 80 - 90% of household totally without a doubt own's a pair of Chuck Taylor All-Stars. The best selling choice of footwear since 1923 or something as such.

 I have several pairs and I continue to love and wear them 95% of the time ^.^ I wear them with everything.. lol

how do you like to wear yours, clean or tramp-style? hehe

I think converses look better when they are worn and dirty, they gain more personality that way.

'I forgive'

Extract from the book I'm reading at the moment shares insight...

I forgive everything and everyone, including you , even thought I don't know what crimes you have committed. I forgive you because I love you and you don't love me, I forgive you because you help me stay close to my devil, even though I haven't thought of him for years. I forgive you because you rejected me and my powers are wasted, I forgive you because you don't understand who I am or what I am doing here. I forgive you and the devil who touched my body before I even knew what life was about. He touched my body and distorted my soul..

Before the sun goes down.

enjoying a bottle of corona on the round about before the sun goes down. .. phew.. long day!!

Highway Rebels. . .

Me and these lovely ladies enjoying an the last of the sun at the end of a very stressful day.. chillaxing on the roundabout enjoying a casual living. You need that every now and again.

Sabali - Patience

below find some super deep lyrics taken from patiences by Nas and Damian Marley (junior gong) I was listening to this song today and it struck me. truely!  

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkontê

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kiye

Ni kêra môgô

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, yonkontê

Sabali, Sabali, Sabali, kagni

Ni kêra môgô

Some of the smartest dummies, Can't read the language of Egyptian mummies

An' a fly go a moon, and can't find food for the starving tummies!

Pay no mind to the youths...'cause it's not like the future depends on it

But save the animals in the zoo, 'cause the chimpanzee 'dem a make big money.

This is how the media pillages, in the TV the picture is savages in villages

and the scientist still can't explain the pyramids, huh?

Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of the little kids

Stereotyping the image of the images, and this is what the image is!!

You buy a khaki pants, and all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones

An' a thief out gold and thief out the scrolls and even the buried bones

Some of the worst paparazzis I've ever seen and I ever known

Put the worst on display so the world can see and that's all they will ever show

So the ones in the west will never move east and feel like they could be at home

Dem get tricked by the beast

But a where dem ago flee when the monster is fully grown? 

Solomonic linage whe dem still can't defeat and them coulda never clone

My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will forever Own .... Lord

Huh, are we born not knowing, or we born knowing all? 
We growing wiser, are we just growing tall? 
Can you read thoughts? can you read palms? 
 Can you predict the future? can you see storms, coming? 

The Earth was flat if you went too far you would fall off.............................................................................
Now the Earth is round if the shape change again everybody woulda start laugh ^____^

The average man can't prove most of the things that he chooses to speak of, yet still won't research and find out the root of the truth that you seek of!

Scholars teach in Universities and claim that they're smart and cunning, tell them find a cure when we sneeze and that's when their nose start running. And the rich get stitched up, when we get cut man a heal dem broken bones in the bush with the wed mud

Can you read signs? can you read stars? 
Can you make peace? can you fight war? 
Can you milk cows, even though you drive cars? 
Can you survive, Against All Odds, Now? 

Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Qur'an? 

And was it a lightning storm that gave birth to the earth and then dinosaurs were born? damn!

Who made up words? who made up numbers?  and what kind of spell is mankind under? 

Everything on the planet we preserve and can it, Microwaved it and try it, 

No matter what we'll survive it!

What's hu? what's man? what's human? 

Anything along the land we're consuming eatin', deletin', ruin
Trying to get paper, gotta have land, gotta have acres so I can sit back like Jack Nicholson and watch niggas play the game like the lakers

In a world full of 52 fakers, gypsies, seances, mystical prayers....You superstitious? 

throw salt over your shoulders make a wish for the day cuz like somebody got a doll of me stickin' needles in my arteries but I can't feel it!

Sometimes it's like 'pardon me, but I got a real big spirit'

I'm fearless.... I'm fearless

Don't you try and grab hold of my soul, It's like a military soldier since seven years old
I held real dead bodies in my arms felt their body turn cold, oh

Why we born in the first place If this is how we gotta go? 
Damn

Marshall Davis Jones : "Touchscreen" #CLICK

This is such a beautifully written piece of poetry. The truth to it runs so deep that you have to take some time out to really think about what the message really is worth, what it is saying, how we should receive this message. our human race? what human race?

I just wanted to share with you guys and I hope you can all appreciate it has much as I did. Beautifully written.

You want a piece if me?

The artist I am, ha ^.^

Self portraits in expressionist form. learning to look at myself differently is not taken literally.

Think deeper!!

I am a deep thinker, I am a creative soul, I speak gibberish yet it makes perfect sense if you think the way I do. 

Bikram Yoga

A new challenge approached me this week. a months worth of free Bikram Yoga at Bikram Yoga Wimbledon  the catch is, the free sessions are only at 6:30 am and also its a 40 minute journey for me to get there. I thought well that is the beginning of the challenge, something to discipline and to motivate me at the same time. I only see benefits here so what's the problem. I fear that I won't be able to wake up at 5 am. but I shall do it!!

What is Bikram Yoga?

A series of 26 yoga postures and 2 breathing techniques or exercises derived from Hatha Yoga,  taking up to 90 minutes of straight performance in a room heated to approximately 40°C.

 The principle is to work every muscle, tendon, joint, ligament, organ and gland, whilst also systematically moving oxygenated blood to the cells of the body.

The heat increases muscle relaxation, blood circulation and minimizes risk of injury. It also strengthens the cardiovascular system and flushes toxins from the body through sweating.

The type and sequence of the stretching and compression postures ensure that the health effects are optimised: massaging all internal organs and stimulating the endocrine and nervous systems (thereby releasing any deficient hormones and enzymes).

The result is the improvement of health to all systems, the reduction of stress, the strengthening of the immune system and the healing of injuries.

 Regularly practising Bikram Yoga can reduce many symptoms of chronic ailments and diseases, including back and joint problems, diabetes, asthma, arthritis, sleep disorders, digestive problems, skin conditions and others.

You will leave each class feeling rejuvenated and energized. Bikram Yoga builds strength, flexibility, grace, balance, and endurance - ultimately promoting the creation of a lean and healthy body inside out.

 At the same time, it has positive effects on mental well-being, making you more productive, focused and balanced, and resulting in an eventual union of the body, mind and spirit.

- Got 'till It's Gone

As I got older I learnt to truly appreciate this song. I am one who loves watching music video's to the point where the song would depend on the video for me to like it.. I guess that is to do with the fact that I have a very pictorial brain =P

 This video use to really scare me when I was younger, I would totally avoid watching the video but now I am so amazed by the concept , the message is deep and beautiful and taking inspiration is surely made easy. Amazeballs.. Afro vibe all over. #blacklove 

comfort on trend ^__^

ready..

I ordered me some pattern pattern and kraft card from Morplan and will be starting my patterns for my new collection for elkface clothing ltd. Stay tuned and be ready to purchase some of my exciting creations hehe. I will upload some photo's soon of some designs. your support will be very much appreciated ..

what is pain..

I have learnt that 'love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about a person that about his/her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable! Do not underestimate the value of my tears, they are not the sign of weakness, but only power! they speak more eloquently than a thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief .. and unspeakable love. love takes hostage, it gets inside you, and eats it's way through then leaves you crying in darkness which leaves scares upon our very soul.We can't live with love or with out love, whether family or friends. We were created to love our creator, the only possible force that cannot hurt or destroy us!

We are born in others pain and perish in our own.

States of Heartbreak...#ouchies

FIRST :

when some is reckless with your heart and it breaks and scatters in ways you never thought possible

SECOND:

when you breaks someone's heart, because you will never know pain like the type that has you look  into their eyes but they look away!!

THIRD:

the worst kind of heartbreak is the kind that comes along when you have to watch the one you love, love someone else.

if you have experienced all three then you a soldier!!! it is likely that you will experience one after the other after the other which sucks like a mofo!! lol.. life goes on!!

do you want another HEARTBREAK???

 

Image is epic by nature haha ^.^ I do not however promote revenge but this image made me chuckle lol.

UP in Smoke

Quench my desires. its imperative 

For you who understands. This image above speaks a thousand words. It sums up that which words cannot describe to help others understand this dark and crushing state. 

Take a deep breath. Exhale deep into the pit of your stomach. be patient and be gentle on yourself. Always be true to YOURSELF and YOUR needs. Never give up!

'God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble' - Psalms 46:1

The lord is close to the broken hearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. - Psalms 34:18

stay strong and choose to be calm during the storm. It will only benefit you.

Anxiety (n) is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind.. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained...

..its a dammed situation..

WEIRD AND WONDERFUL

When we believe we are losing control, we grab on tight. If we want to avoid pain, we hold on for dear life. When we are in fear of losing, looking bad or being abandoned, we tighten our grip. When our greatest fears come up on us, we clench our fist and teeth, close our eyes and hold on. We must learn to let go. We have the capacity to live through any adversary if we simply let go. We cannot stop time or destiny. whatever is going to happen has already happened; we must learn how to see through to the end. When we hold on, we prolong the pain. When we dig our feet in, we must be uprooted. When the time comes for growth and change, we must have the courage and faith to let go.

STYLE QUEEN!!!

Way before there was Rihanna, we had Erykah Badu. If you dont know her I suggest you Google it now.

her style and flavour is always impressive. her fashion is the ultimate epitome of self expression

Youthfulness is always a Success because there is always the next generation!

Graphic patterns

Illusions and confusions

that's what i'ma call it ^__^

I have always been a huge fan of stripes and stamp printed patterns. thanks to miss twiggy and Gwen Stefani and being a huge ass fan of No Doubt since childhood she was always the one I looked to to be honest, way before I found such profound interest in fashion

Twiggy in the 60's  

Gwen on sweet escape

I am in love with this next look. Thanks to Oliver Roustieng, the head designer at the house of Art Deco. Balmain that is ^__^

this collection reminds me of why I really want to be in this industry. This is faultless designing from colour choices, to shapes, print and scale of prints. As you can see the pattern is taken from the aw/12 collection which story still continues into this collection however with urban edge.

  seasons staple of super graphic in my opinion. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!

Balmain ss13. 

This collection was ace, got the 'rib drift' as I like to call it, masculine trouser, broad shoulders and the super bold graphic patterns. 

right up my street this is!!!

if you haven't seen this collection then you are super missing out on something!! lol

Amaze-balls!!!

Marc Jacobs captured this trend so beautifully with a quirky nod back to the 60's but making it so modern and so never been seen before. Now I'm a fan of Marc Jacobs. I think this is his best collection yet!!

finally making fashion fun ^___^

 The scale of the pattern makes this design look super epic.com, it is so futuristic and so FRESH!
