As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I s As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I share with you some pictures of mine at 9 months, 9 years, 19 years, 29 years  to today 39 years old of age. Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

100th Post Plus Giveaway {CLOSED}

Happy Friday!!! So today I am writing my 100th post on this my little blog and on Wednesday I celebrated my 3 month since I started blogging. I just wanted to say thank you so much to all my readers, new followers and all those who have encouraged me to continue and ways to improve my blog.

www.myrabev.blogspot.co.uk

So I have decided to give one lucky reader a few of my favourite buys:

  • Make-Up Bag
Every woman needs one of these in almost all her usual bags, I know its sounds crazy but I have 4 make-up which stay in 4 different bags and they contain the same things in them. Because I am always changing my bags at short notice and always in a hurry it helps to have everything in one place in my case in places.
  • Neon-Orange Nail Polish
I figured since its Halloween season this nail polish is just the thing to complement the season and I think its a great fall colour.
  • Heavenly Hands
I love this little set of hand-cream, hand-wash and nail filer. This one is a creamy coconut scent, I love so much.
  • Fabulous Feet
This little beauty set contains Foot Scrub, Foot Lotion and Pumice Stone. This is a mystic ice scent.
