Trending today on Rosea Writes is the "Being Fat and Fit The New Beautiful" One thing I love is to be plain and truthful in my writings. This came up yesterday when I was going through my messages on facebook and I got series of "lose 12 pounds in 2 days and blah blah blah" I am one person that has learnt to appreciate my body. There are pills, tea, herbal remedy, lotions, surgery all these so that you can lose weight?. Am not health inclined but I know that too much of everything could have side effects later especially mixing slimming teas and drugs because you think you'll get a faster result. The trick about these drugs is that it may work at first but it requires a continual usage otherwise you fall right back to where you started. Health tips * Eat healthy (no Junks) * Eat in small quantities * Drink a glass of water before every meal * Exercise and do stretches daily * Cut down on Alcohol consumption * Do not eat heavy food late at night ...

#Question4Theday- Why do black women feel unattractive without make up?. I'll chip in a little bit on this- so there has been new developments and cosmetics  has evolved over the years. Before now it was just eye pencil used for the brows and lining the mouth and eye. Now we have Face beat, contour. But let's think oh which one is "face beat again" lol. The bone of contention stands at cosmetics taking the confidence level of most women. Now some ladies find it difficult to go out without makeup. Its alarming. Imagine you've been invited to present an award and the theme for the event is "No Makeup" would you attend? And what would your confidence level be from the scale of 1-10 Please comment below

Marriage counselling sessions were an eye opener for daniel and i. We got to express ourselves and tell each other things we had bottled up for so long. Talking about the affair was the hardest because it opened up wounds that just couldn't heal in  months. Our marriage counsellor suggested we took a break from all the drama. So I suggested we travelled to Johannesburg for our second honeymoon just so we could get our mind off some things and start over. Sunday after church while preparing lunch I heard a knock on the door, so I went to check who our sunday guest would be. It was my maid starring right at me with those eyes of "am taking everything from you". I waited for her to speak but all she muttered was " where is Daniel the father of my unborn" but really who says that. Lost of words I stammered just so I could say something but nothing came out. I shouted out daniel's name as she pushed me aside to hug him. I was slowly loosing my grip in my o...

I got in 2am like I always did every night just so I could get his attention but this night it was different. For 1year  and a month we constantly fought over whose turn it was to wash the dishes, lay the bed sheets or take the dog on a walk. My marriage has constantly been on the edge of breaking but we've fought to keep us together even though our love had long been shattered. Few months into the marriage I got a maid, a young naive lady whom I thought had no idea about getting attracted to a man yet alone my own husband. As I always did I tip toed into the room just so I could catch him in a compromising situation but each time I didn't. But I pushed him so far as to the result of tonight. My husband was tangled with my maid on our matrimonial bed. I froze for a second not until she spoke but not with the accent but fluent English. I had been played. My worse fear had come to play. We hadn't been together as a couple for over 6 months only because I constantly...
