What This Tattoo Means to Me
Tattoos have always been a form of therapy to me. Tattoos are a form of art, therapy and show everything that makes you who you are. For me, this is all the same. My tattoos show who I am and what means the most to me. Even the tattoos that seem to mean nothing to you, they mean the absolute world to me.

Body Art And Beyond; An Exercise In Humanity
A VISUAL EXERCISE After viewing the amazing video portraying some stunning works of body art, I would like for you to take a few minutes and imagine that the entire world of art is gone. Like a wave of a magic wand, art has been completely wiped off the face of the planet. Museums and galleries are gone. There are no more paintings on walls just barren partitions dividing rooms. Statues and sculptures are missing from landmarks and there are no more murals within cities. Everything just seems empty without any personality. In addition, music, live theatre and films are a thing of the past. Any and all things embodying art are history. Body art is gone too. This includes: tattoos, piercings, cosmetics, and all alterations or modifications to the human body. Television, radio and books still exist but for informational purposes only. Cell phones also remain but solely for communication. Those cute little emoji’s that everyone loves to send family and love ones are no more! Take a few minutes and imagine your life now as the only remnants left of art are within your memory. Oh, before I forget, while all art is now extinct, there is something weird that has happened to you. You are completely tattooed and now have piercings adorning your nose, eyebrow and lip. Stay tuned because this is about to get interesting.

Why it is important to switch to Cruelty-Free cosmetics in 2020
If you have read my statement regarding cruelty-free make-up, then you will now that this has not been an easy path and that I have made mistakes in the past. I have found myself infuriated having purchased from a brand, one specifically springs to mind, thinking that they were cruelty-free only to discover two years in that they had changed their policy and are no longer cruelty free.

Another Girl with a Dragon Tattoo
It was 2019 when I was at my all-time low. I just got back home to Manila, Philippines after spending a whole year in Los Angeles, California. My girlfriend of four years and I broke up (and it was an ugly break up as well). My mom and I had a ridiculously huge fight about my sexuality, it tore our relationship like the ice caps in the Arctic, melting and can never be restored again. I was immensely depressed. The only time I would eat is whenever I was with my best friend (whom I owe a lot to, if it were not for here I would have lost my sh*t). My body was fueled by nothing but coffee, cigarettes, and alcohol. My nights were spent in a random stranger’s bed. My days were spent thinking about death. The only night I was in my own bedroom, I had a noose around my neck. My brother who I sparsely talk to, ringed me out of the blue right as I was about to kick the bucket as if he knew everything that was going on. A wake-up call (quite literally) that I needed so badly. I told myself right there and then, I will slowly pick myself up instead of withering into the dark abyss.
