Sparkle #196: Creative Room Decor Ideas – Part 1

See Part 2 of this post here.  Hello everyone, how has your week been? Mine’s been crazy as always, and I am so excited the weekend is just around the corner. This weekend, I will be spending some time shopping online and offline for my lovely new room! If you have been following my blog, you would remember that around two months ago, I wrote an emotional post on how I am tearing down my work-space to build a new one. The good news is that work on the room is now complete, the carpenter and painter have done justice to the pictures…

Sparkle #195: Last Minute Father’s Day Ideas

Hello folks, how is June coming along for everyone? I am sure most of you are mad at me for not posting as often as I used to. But the last couple of weeks have been a little crazy for me and my family. My sister took ill, then I had to undergo a painful and long wisdom tooth extraction and now my brother is facing wisdom teeth issues of his own – definitely not party times for our family! Am not so sure about the wisdom, but these teeth are definitely bringing a lot of pain along with them. Here are some hilarious illustrations on how…

Sparkle #194: R.M. Drake and his Beautiful Poetry

If you are active on social media, then I am sure you must have stumbled upon the poetic brilliance of R.M. Drake. He is a literary success story from the digital age, as his works were first published and discovered on Instagram! Drake first started posting excerpts from his work on Instagram as an experiment, not realizing that they would go viral overnight. He soon acquired a massive fan following which included popular celebrities like the Kardashians and Ludacris. All of this led him to a global distribution deal which allowed him to sell his self-published works through top booksellers like Amazon. A compilation of his best poems and…

Sparkle #193: Business Advice from TV Shows

Happy Monday folks! I looked at the calendar today and realized it’s almost June – the middle of the year. I cannot believe the pace at which this year is moving. I feel like I am always playing catch-up with both my personal and professional to-do list. There’s always so much to be done, and so little time… Thinking about life, time and my lengthy list of things to do always brings my spirits down. So to cheer up my Monday, I thought of seeking advice from some of my favorite people in the world – TV show characters! A while back, I wrote a post…

Happy Mother’s Day

All mother’s are special for their children, but I feel mine is just out of this world fantastic! She is crazy talented, incredibly patient and unbelievably loving. I would give her full credit for ensuring that me and my sister grew up to be independent, strong and beautiful women. Her dreams helped shape our destinies, without her support we probably wouldn’t be where we are today. We are all guilty of taking our moms for granted, not making enough time for them, hurting them unintentionally amongst several other things. But a mother’s love towards us is unconditional and never changes. Today on Mother’s Day I want to dedicate this post…
