No matter how you came to be in this world, i was always try and give you the best of the best to ensure that you never go a day wondering if you're loved or not. Since you were young, I have slowly taught you right from wrong, but i know how cruel this work can be, which hurts. It hurts me to know that some lessons in life can only be learnt the hard way. My daughter, being old now, i may not u...

The title may have already hurt your feelings but hey, if the shoe fits, amirite? Over the years i have witnessed so many people around me feel the need to leave home because things aren't going too great. The saying "there is no place like home" can not be more true. Yes i understand that for some people, home can be a violent and abusive place. Home can be the place where they want to be at the least because of serious issues. but i speak to and behalf of those who have a well structured family, have every reason to be happy and glad and yes remain pessimistic in all situations. "I want to run away". Damn do those 5 words sound so familiar because not only did they slip off my tongue every now and then when i was a teen age know it all, but because i have seen and heard so many people around me say and do it. So this is simply my observation, my experience and my advice for all teens or even young adults who are experiencing a hard time at home. Why do tee...

A POLYNESIANS SUCCESS "when you're up, offer someone else a hand" Written and Published : Lydia Rees ________________________________________________________________________ Talofa my hunny bunnies and welcome to this weeks blog with ya favourite pretty face, Lia! This week we are addressing more grey topics in the Polynesian community, a topic very familiar to our lips but not addressed as often as it should be. Everyone wants to be successful. Don't lie. Even you. Whether its employment, education, weight loss, making music, making a music video (ahem chunior), everyone wants to be successful. The people who you surround yourself with, the people that you allow to have a say in your life will influence your decisions and can possibly determine whether you succeed or not. Am i right? Well yeah. In the "normal" world, when you see a friend or family member moving closer to their goals, meeting new potentials, doing better than before, you would ...

RIGHT ON TIME Written and Published : Lydia Rees Talofa my hunnies, welcome to an EOW (end of week) post, and just some motivations for all my sistassss (and pradas). Grab a snack, or 10, and relax with a short read on a Friday night ! ________________________________________________________________________________ Have you been stuck in a situation where things have not gone how you planned? Same. Stuck in a situation where you wanted one thing but God gave you another? Same. Generally what i find, is that in the end, when everything unfolds, i see the beauty behind it and i see that things turned out perfectly and so i want to give you some advice, or even motivation to just push through. This blog isn't going to be too long because i just want to offer some quick love. What ever you are going through right now, understand that it was meant to happen. Even if it accidentally happened or you wished it didn't happen, please know that where you are right no...

Talofa hunnies, if youre reading this then I want to say THANK YOU. I posted this specific blog on the low key mainly because i want you guys to stumble across surprise blogs like this. Once again, grab a schnack and settle in for a cute rant. The Eff in Effort 9 times out of 10, we find our selves getting bored and losing interest in almost anything we do. Its not an opinion but a fact, (well according to Lydia Rees). No matter what it is, a new job, friendship groups, relationships, marriage, hobbies, there will always be a time where you will get bored or lose interest. Where you get "sick of trying and as heartless as it is to say, I know that as the generations pass through, we grow numb to the idea of fixing things and rather, just throwing them away because its ëasier". *rolls eyes dramatically* Lydia would like to present to you the EFF (use your imagination in eff), in EFFORT! Everyone knows that the beginning of a new job, friendships, relationships, hobbies...

TUFUGA'S MAT - PART 2 "ITS ABOUT ADOPTING THE LIFESTYLE, VALUES AND MORALS..." a    s a c r i f i c e   Talofa Hunnies and Welcome to Tufuga's Mat Part 2. If you haven't read Part one already, I suggest going back and reading that first! Part one, was all about getting the tattoo done, but part 2 will consist of all the jazz, the ish, the dahdah that comes with the tattoos, the do's the don'ts and of course, the controversial side of things. Once again hunnies, grab something to eat or drink, and lets gets cracking! >>>.><><><><.<<< In most cases, if not all, the tattoos wearer had a choice in which to get the malu or not and so in saying that, they also chose to take the responsibility of having the tattoo (good and bad). Part of receiving the malu or a malofie is also adopting the lifestyle, morals and values of a Samoan individual, and often, for the modern day Samoan society, this can ...
