Love in fact, does not conquer all.
It's a common misconception that if you love someone, everything else
will work itself out, but love alone is not enough.
Acceptance is
what will get you through to the other side. Acceptance doesn't mean
resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and
that you can choose it for exactly what it is. Because when you do
choose it for what it is and what it isn't, it brings something entirely
new into your world.
Once there is acceptance, you bring peace
and change to your energy, and from there anything you create with the
person you love is possible.
That's not to say that you must accept everything in your relationship.
You shouldn't accept any abuse, physically or emotionally, and you must
establish your deal-breakers along with making sure you are compatible,
have similar core values and a vision for your future.
However, there are things you must accept in the one you love and in your relationship in order to bring peace into your life.
Here are 20 things you must accept for your relationship to succeed:
Accept the things you cannot change.
Accept that you cannot fix your partner.
Accept that your partner is not perfect.
Accept that not everyone will behave as you do.
Accept that just because they don't behave like you, it doesn't make them wrong.
Accept their flaws.
Accept love as they are able to give it to you.
Accept that you love them.
Accept that we all experience things (including love) differently.
Accept that sometimes they can be a bit of a mess.
Accept the mess in the sink.
Accept that they are human and will make mistakes.
Accept their apology.
Accept your differences.
Accept that everyone has a past.
Accept that they cannot read your mind.
Accept that they can't live up to an expectation you don't communicate.
Accept that you are not always right.
Accept that there will be good and bad times.
Accept them.
What you resist will persist
and will drive you absolutely crazy. By accepting, you are opening up a
space for something completely new to happen in your relationship. Can
you accept the challenge?

I just had to share this article because hey relationships have never been a walk in the park and people always need all the advice they can get out there.The key to a good or rather a great relationship is acceptance,you may love someone so much but if you do not accept them,that relationship will not work.
Brody Jenner dissed Kim Kardashian on Instagram (Instagram)
If you're going to come after Kim Kardashian on her home turf (Instagram), you better not miss.
But it looks like Brody Jenner
had some second thoughts about the above post, and deleted it a couple
minutes after posting it. Not quickly enough, however, that it wasn't
screenshot all over the internet.
Jenner uploaded the picture of
himself, girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter, brother Brandon, and mother Linda
Thompson at a friend's wedding. The caption reads, "Look...
@kaitlynn_carter and I finally get to go to a wedding together!!!" It's a
clear reference to Jenner's not getting a +1 to Kardashian's Italian
nuptials with Kanye West last year.
First of all, we're going to go ahead and call B.S. on the fact that the 31-year-old former star of The Hills has only been invited to two weddings in the past 11 months. We know he attended the nuptials of Kim's ex, Reggie Bush, in July, for starters.
On the current season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians,
they made a point of showing that neither Kim nor Brody had any hard
feelings about his not attending her wedding. In one scene, Kim and
Bruce Jenner are seen agreeing that it's best not to give Brody a +1 for
his girlfriend. In another, Brody says, "I'm very happy for them, but
do you think that they were really like, 'We have to have Brody and
Kaitlynn there? If they're not there then this wedding is not going to
happen.'"
Given that, it's pretty harmless
teasing, but if you're going to try to shade the Queen, you'd better
have the balls to stick to your guns.
I have watched keeping up with the Kardashians and seen Brody,one is able to tell he has alot of misplaced anger and resentment. He has some deep issues that he really has to work out instead of taking it out on his step family who are nothing but only kind to him.One could tell from the beginning that he was a volcano just waiting to erupt.
Have dreams of making it big as a food blogger? There’s a science to it. Photo: Lumina/Stocksy
Food
blogging as a career is, for some, the stuff of daydreams. Yet more and
more, one-time hobbyists are turning their blogs into full-fledged,
money-making ventures by attracting the attentions of big-name sponsors.
One blogger, who we’ll call Mallory, has done particularly well: Last
year, she made more than $150,000. This year, she expects to clear a
quarter of a million.
“You’ve
got to decide: Is this a personal thing or is this what I want to do to
make a living?” Mallory told Yahoo Food. Her blog is a few years old,
though she only began making big bucks last year when she signed with an
agent, which helped her land deals with major grocery store brands
looking to reach a digital audience.
Most
often, she’s paid to write a recipe post using the brand’s product —
something that, not long ago, the same brands might have recruited
bloggers to do for as little as $50. “I won’t do a post for less than
$3,500 now,” Mallory said. “My average is about $5,000, and my high is
$10,000.”
“Large
brands were not thinking this way a few years ago — it’s a definite
shift not only in terms of their spending, but their mindset,” said
Raina Penchansky, the chief strategy officer of talent agency Digital Brand Architects.
Although she doesn’t represent Mallory, her boutique firm handles about
a dozen food-focused bloggers and social media personalities, including
former Yahoo Food Bloggers of the Week Claire Thomas of Kitchy Kitchen and Love & Lemons’s Jeanine Donofrio.
“There’ll
always be print media, and there’ll always be television,” Penchansky
said. “But traditional brands are definitely seeking out opportunities
with bloggers, because that’s where the audience is. And you have go
where the audience is.”
For
Mallory, that audience is in large part her robust social following on
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest: She boasts roughly 300,000
followers combined across all four platforms. There’s no magic formula
to gaining a loyal following, she said — it’s simply the result of being
active on social media, both by posting frequently and replying to
readers. And we mean frequently — Mallory tweets, Facebooks, Instagrams,
and pins multiple times throughout the day, Monday through Friday.
That’s in addition to posting two to three new blog posts a week, each
of which require at least three rounds of recipe testing and numerous
staged photographs. It’s a full-time job.

But
Mallory also relies on other bloggers for traffic. She says there’s an
unspoken quid pro quo amongst heavy hitters that if one blogger promotes
another’s content on social media, the favor will be returned. There
are even “secret” Facebook groups dedicated to this practice: A blogger
will post a recent story and openly appeal for tweets, likes, and
comments. But the only way to join these traffic-driving groups is to be
invited, and the only way to be invited is to get a top blogger’s
attention.
“You
can’t just expect to walk into a community and everyone will accept you
with open arms,” Mallory said. “Make sure you retweet their posts, but
add value to whatever they’ve done. Don’t just write ‘yum!’ It pays off
in the long run.”
Once
a blogger has amassed a decent social following and is enmeshed in the
food blogging community, that’s when the money starts to pick up. You
can apply to join ad networks like BlogHer, Martha’s Circle, or Google Adsense, which run ads on your site for a price. (Blogger Kiersten Frase has a good breakdown of them here.) At one point, Mallory said she was making up to $12,000 a year through these ads alone.
There
are also marketing agencies that connect bloggers with big-name brands
with budgets to match. Although many of these companies — which include
places like Collectively, Tap Influence, Pollinate Media, Weave Made Media, and CookIt Media
— are relatively new on the media scene, some command rosters of
hundreds of bloggers. The idea is to match a company with a blogger
whose audience it wants to target. The more defined and specific the
blog — whether it be a vegan food blog, a gluten-free food blog, or a
barbecue food blog — the more defined its readership, which appeals to
brands trying to hone in on a particular demographic.

beautiful photos — essential to food blogs these days — is all about
practice, Mallory said. Photo: Cameron Whitman/ Stocksy
“It’s
just utter chaos out there,” said CookIt founder Laurie Buckle of the
crowded food blogging landscape. “The only way to survive that
competition is to create a brand for yourself and to surface yourself on
every possible platform: On your phone, in videos, an app, etc.” That’s
why Buckle thinks the diary-style food blog, which defined the early
days of food blogging, is a bad route for anyone who wants to make
money. “That kind of blog will always be out there, but that’s not the
future of business in blogging,” she said.
Mallory
agrees that branding yourself is important, but stresses that bloggers
who want to remain likable should do it in a measured way. “Don’t be a
robot,” she said. “I put my family on Instagram. Readers want to see the
other side of you — that’s what people relate to.” There’s also such a
thing as too much sponsored content: “You don’t want your readers to
think, ‘All she does is sponsored posts,’” Mallory said. Even
non-sponsored blog posts can prove profitable if they appeal to the
right audience — for Mallory, her beautiful imagery across the site has
led to lucrative freelance photography gigs.
It’s
a lot to take in, Mallory admitted, but she hopes fledgling food
bloggers take note. Many seasoned pros are tight-lipped when it comes to
disclosing how much they’re paid by brands, but Mallory believes that
more awareness will translate to bigger budgets and more food blogger
success stories.
“There’s
no point in being secretive — there’s enough work to go around,” she
said. “I always think it would have been nice if someone helped me.”

Some DIY beauty trends are pure genius. The #KylieJennerChallenge is definitely not one of them.
Teens around the U.S. and even abroad are posting photos and videos of themselves trying to get the young celebrity’s superplump lips, by sucking on the lid of a small jar.
The bruising from the suction can indeed puff up your smackers, but the effect is more grotesque than chic. The bruising can be very severe and even cause tearing, experts say.
In some cases, the glass jar can even break, causing serious injuries, reports Pop Sugar.
Dendy Engelman, a dermatologic surgeon, told Seventeen the fad is very concerning. “There is potential risk for scarring and permanent disfigurement with repeated attempts.”
That hasn’t stopped teens from trying it out and posting the results online.
“Y’all doing something wrong,” said Twitter user @highonlaurmani, posting a side-by-side comparison of the results.
“I screwed up,” says another young Twitter user, sharing a pic of her severely swollen pout.
Like everything Kardashian-related, Kylie Jenner’s lips have stirred heated debate online since they started appear much plumper last year. The 17-year-old has insisted it’s all due to artful use of lip liner, and that she hasn’t had any surgical procedures.
She certainly hasn’t endorsed the bottle-suction DIY idea.
(Kylie Jenner before and after liner. Credit: Instagram)
“How long are we gonna talk about this lip thing lmao,” Jenner wrote on Instagram last October. “Let’s get a our lives together guys and talk about some important s***. Just talk about something new at least. I’m bored.”
Her sister Kim Kardashian backed her up.
“I go into her room, and I’m like, ‘What liner do you wear?’ because she only wears a lip liner, and then she fills it in [with the same liner],” Kardashian said in a YouTube makeup channel Pixiwoo video. “She doesn’t wear lipstick or a gloss.”

Whatever you think of Jenner’s look, there are lots of ways to try to get fuller lips. Just don’t try the #KyleJennerChallenge.
Ok imitation is the best kind of flattery but not this way as much as you may look up to a celebrity ,you do not have to make a fish out of yourself to try look like them lol. This is just a proof of the influence celebrities have on their fans ,i do have celebrities i look u to but i do know not to loose my mind or follow just anything. I do like Kylie but maybe she should have a word with her fans because they are loosing it lol.
Zayn Malik attended the Asian Awards in London on Friday night with his mother, where he showed off his shocking new shaved head. Zayn also took the stage to accept the award for outstanding achievement in music, and he gave a supersweet acceptance speech to accompany his win. "Tonight's about thanks," he said, and after he thanked God and his mom and dad, he continued, "I'd also like to take this moment to thank four of the best guys I've ever met. Everything I've done with them will stay with me for the rest of my life." It's been almost a month since Zayn announced his departure from One Direction, effectively causing a full-scale Internet meltdown. He has since spoken out about his reasons for leaving, but this is one of the first times he's publicly addressed the boys since he left. We're just glad they seem to be on good terms, in spite of all the controversy. Watch the video, above!
I am glad that the guy of One Direction are ok with each other even after Zayn Malik leaving the group because they have been through alot with each other i guess it would be too sad if it ended badly. I love One Direction and i am pleased that all is well.
Boy: There will come a time when you wont talk to me or see me
Girl: Why
Boy: I will be gone
Girl: No there is Facebook we will keep intouch that is if you want
Girl: And you will always be in my heart
Boy: Ok but it wont be as we do now.When i leave i will become busy
Girl: That's ok atlist we've made good memories
Girl: I wont forget you
Girl: Never you are exceptional
Girl: And i never forget people
Boy: you will find other better people
Boy: I will remind you and you will be shocked
Girl: No i wont forget you cause you are the first guy who has ever told me i love you
Girl: Yes am saying the truth
Boy: All this time no one has told you that
Girl: yep
Boy: Wow i do not know what to say
Girl: Just know that you are my first ilove u
Boy: Ok that's scary
Girl: So i will always cherish you and will never forget you
Girl: Why scary
Boy: Well do not think that's a good enough reason to remember me
Girl: For me it is Girl: The best things in life are free Boy: What's free Girl: I even remember the way u sounded when u said it Girl: Love is free Girl: Air,sun,moon Girl: So you believe me, i wont forget you Boy: We will see Girl: You will you forget me Boy: Why Girl: Cause you might get a good wife and kids and a good life then you might not remember me Girl: You might even not love me anymore Boy: Its part of my culture not to forget Girl: Even me i do not forget people Boy: You want me to love you Girl: Always and forever Girl: But that's selfish of me Boy: Ok i will Girl: Thanks
Well time did it's thing and forever and always ended in one day.Boy broke all his promises and there was nothing left between them not even a little friendship or as an aquaintance.He was right when he said" there will come a time when you wont talk to me or see me and the girl was right when said he would forget her and maybe not even love her at all .What is love? Many people do ask this question,love to some is a disease of the mind.Girl always wanted boy to always love her no matter what.She wanted him to love her even if he was never with her.But boy ended up completely cutting girl out of his life.
No one will ever know if he truely did love her.No one will ever know if ever she crossed his mind.If there was ever even an ounce of care for her in his heart or if he completely forgot about her.So what is love? Love is something everybody knows and something not everybody knows.My advice to girl is in life there are no guarantees,love yourself and always be happy.Loving yourself unselfishly is the greatest love of all and you deserve it.Boys make promises but a real man keeps his promises.
Only time answers questions about love.Only time can tell what love is or if love really is or if it was love that you had.One thing you have to know is you can not decide if someone loves you forever and it is ok. Love yourself one day at a time and all will be just fine.
Well lets start with the definition of what Xenophobia is.And here is its definition from www.wikipedia.org
Xenophobia is the unreasoned fear of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange.
Xenophobia can manifest itself in many ways involving the relations and perceptions of an in group towards an outgroup, including a fear of losing identity, suspicion of its activities, aggression, and desire to eliminate its presence to secure a presumed purity.Xenophobia can also be exhibited in the form of an "uncritical exaltation of another culture" in which a culture is ascribed "an unreal, stereotyped and exotic quality". There have been numerous attacks on foreign nationals by some inhuman black South African youth.I say inhuman because these attacks are just that.I think Xenophobia is just a lame excuse for people to break the law in the claim of something they say is rightfully theirs.If something is rightfully yours the claim it in the right way.Come up with a petition,use the law courts,appeal to your Government.Black South African youths are sending the message that South Africa is not friendly or welcoming to foreigners.All over the world people from different nationalities and countries settle,study and work in countries in which they are not natives.That is just how the world is nowadays. Does South Africa need to be the exception because that is the signal that is being sent out.
Foreigners are always good for the economy of any country.Foreigners being welcomed into countries make the world see the hosting country as a good place to invest in and do trade with.It is even a boost to the countries Tourism industry.Many of the foreigners or rather migrants in South Africa are there seeking a better life.They go there to get a good Education and jobs that sadly they cannot get in their home countries.People can feel bad that foreigners are getting jobs and they the locals are not.But this is certainly not the way to go.South Africa looks very ugly and inhuman to the world.And i hope and pray that the killings and madness end.The South African Government should arrest everyone doing this even if it is being done in mobs because people should respect life in whatever situation. I do not sympathize with South Africa because there should be an after effect of all this madness to their economy and their relationship with the world in general.This should be a valuable lesson to South Africa.I know not all South Africans support this but the government should go into extreme measures to put its citizens in check .Because it looks like a group of lazy jealous black South African youth are going around killing migrants who are working so hard to better their lives.South Africa looks very ugly and i bet Mandela where he is,is so disappointed because that is not what he fought for.Instead of Africans sticking together they are killing each other.These black South African youth are ignorant,stupid and have no respect for the laws of the land and most of all the laws of God.What has happened to love compassion and brotherhood.
Xenophobia is just an excuse because South Africa looks very ugly from all this madness and the dangerous cities because of the high crime rate and the highest cases of HIV in Africa and the world.I wrote this article because of the escalating violence the ugly pictures i have seen on Facebook and i hope the World can give this sad situation in South Africa the attention it deserves because people are saying it deserves more coverage so that the World can step in an end this.I saw a picture of a young boy almost three years old with a deep wound on his head bleeding,his parents where beaten by a mob and burnt to death and he was also beaten.This is just madness in the highest.They say its because foreigners are taking their women and jobs.All i can say to them is you do not have women or jobs because you are ignorant and stupid because that is what all this violence is.It is senseless and a reflection of who you are.
This is a by a guy known as Stanley StanoMastermind Keya:
Black South-Africans are claiming that
the black migrants from other African
countries are taking over their jobs,
that is why they are burning and
killing them. Already a group of South
African students killed 5 Congolese
students, 10 Nigerians, 5 Gabonese and
10 Somalis yesterday around 10:00 am
in Johannesburg. The police is advising
foreigners to avoid using public
transport specially train,taxi etc. Please
share this warning with friends and
families leaving in South Africa
especially in Johannesburg. We urge
everyone to pass this message on until
it gets to international media because
the local media are not broadcasting it
in South Africa and Kenya. Yesterday
too the locals attacked an area called
POINT Johannesburg and a lot of black
were displaced from their flat. Massive
xenophobic attack is going on in South
Africa right now.
This is the darkest side of humanity.For These South African Youth they should know they are behaving like animals and animals belong in cages and guess what that is where you belong,you are not wise or bettering your lives,you are just making things worst and you are stained with innocent blood.Way to shoot yourselves in your backside.This is a reflection of a failing Society South Africa.
SCOTS makeup artist Jamie Grant juggles her growing online
following with her day job at the Illamasqua counter in Debenhams,
Glasgow.
By Conor Cartwright
YOU’VE probably heard of YouTube sensations such as Zoella and Alfie, thrust into stardom with quirky videos and Hollywood smiles.
But now there is a new wave of social media stars taking over the web – InstaFamous photo bloggers.
And they don’t come much more glamorous or successful than Scots Instagram sensation Jamie Genevieve.
The web star, whose real name is Jamie Grant, is one of the rising
stars of the growing trend of young people uploading their lives on to
Instagram in a series of touched-up snapshots.
The 21-year-old, from Glasgow
, started posting pictures of her make-up and tagging the brands she
uses and has now joined the YouTubing ranks with hit video posts adding
to her following.
In a matter of months she had thousands of people following her account and asking for tips on how to get her look.
She now has an incredible 100,000 followers and her posts have been liked and shared well over a million times around the world.
And her online success is seeping into the real world.
While working as a make-up artist for Illamasqua at Debenhams in
Glasgow, Jamie said it’s not unusual for people to come in and ask for a
carbon copy of her Instagram photos.
She said: “The first time it happened, this girl came in in a rush to
get her make-up done before a night out – she pulled out a picture of
me on her phone and asks for that make-up. I just stared at her and
said: ‘That’s me.’”
Jamie started posting photos of her make-up just over a year ago and she is still surprised by the glimpses of fame.
She said: “I remember when I hit 10,000 followers, I was so chuffed with myself and it grew from there.
“Then the first company got in touch to say that they wanted to send
me free products. They sent £500 worth of free make-up through my door.
“I was in the car with my mum when I opened it and I just started crying, I was so happy.”
Following the example of YouTube contemporaries such as Zoe “Zoella” Sugg , and Alfie Deyes, Jamie eventually bowed to pressure from her fans and started posting videos of her make-up tutorials.
But it was a lot harder than it looked.
She said: “People kept asking if I would make videos for them to follow but I had the fear.
“I taught myself, badly, how to do them. If you watch my first video,
it’s so bad. I made the mistake of trying to be too nice and not be
myself.
“The videos were too long and I wasn’t even that good at make-up.
“I’m glad I started when I did but there would have been make-up
artists out there at the time who would have looked at it and laughed.”
Once she started releasing make-up tutorials on YouTube, the reaction was instant.
She said: “Last October, I started posting videos of Halloween make-up, and it seemed to just boom.
“It started off with 20 new followers a day and then it was 100 a
day, then 500. You wake up in the morning and you’ve hit another
milestone and you don’t really know what to do.”
Her biggest milestone yet has been the 100,000 follower mark.
“It’s absolutely mental,” she said. “I had to explain it to my dad
that it’s twice as many people as you would fit in Ibrox or Hampden. He
was quite impressed with that.
“But it was scary as well because I need to actually take this seriously. People are looking to me for help or inspiration.”
With all the activity on her profile it wasn’t long before she caught some attention from companies with A-list connections.
Bellami, who also have Kylie Jenner of Kardashians fame on their
roster, got in contact to ask Jamie to endorse their hair extensions.
Grinning, she confessed: “That’s one of the most exciting emails I’ve ever read in my life. They’re a massive company.
“I got signed to a YouTube partnership in London with StyleHaul so
I’ve been invited to lots of events down there but because I’m working
full-
time, I never make it down.”
Jamie is channelling her skills and experience into her own new business.
Next week, she launches SASSBOMB, her own make-up, skincare and
lifestyle blog complete with reviews and giveaways and dreams of making a
living from her online profile.
She said: “I’ve got big make-up brands from America getting in touch
asking me to work with them and I get paid to promote things which is
just crazy.
“I’m happy just now working and doing this in my spare time but if I
can start earning enough money and getting enough endorsements on my
YouTube then I think it can be a full-time job.
“Having the blog, YouTube and Instagram all going at the same time could let me do that.
“I’d also be able to travel to work with different brands and at different events
“I remember when I left school some of the girls were like, ‘What are
you going to do with make-up?’ It seems to have done pretty well for
me.”
Social media is notorious for trolling but Jamie has so far had mostly positive feedback.
She said: “I’m really lucky because, even as big as it’s got,
everyone has been so lovely and I think it’s a lot to do with it being
mainly girls that like the page.
“It’s not like I’m a model or something who has got famous for
getting their boobs out. Make-up artists online are like angels to
girls.

I love success stories people really do come from far and work.When you focus on your goals no matter what is in your way you will make it that is for sure.
Ask my shoes is a very creative song title by a kenyan band known as heart the band.Ask my shoes is a song about a guy who works so hard and denies himself the finer things in life just to hand those finer things to his girl.In the song they say if you want to know what i have been through or gone through just ask my shoes which you can assume are worn out shoes.
Just look at how worn out they are and they will tell you the story.This is a realistic story in a song.Some guys do work so hard not for themselves but only to maintain a lady they are dating or in a relationship with.They work so hard to keep up with the financial demands of these ladies denying themselves of any luxiouries only to find out they are being used.This song speaks of a very realistic and rather common aspect of love.Some ladies use guys for financial gain and needs this is the story behind this song.In the song they speak of the sacrifices the guy makes like riding the train only to pay for his girl to take a taxi.And he eats cheap for just to be able to pay for an expensive meal for his girl.
How he tries so hard to create beautiful moments only to find his girl is cheating on him.The way the shoes are worn out tell exactly of the sacrifices taken all in the name of love.But all is in vain because the love is just one sided and is not true love.
