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.

Manicure Monday ~ Sally Hansen

Hello there and welcome to my Manicure Monday, today I am wearing Sally Hansen Magnetic nail polish, this nail polish I got from Poundland. I am in love firstly because purple is my favourite colour and secondly because I think it suits my skin tone very well. I have seen a lot of manicure posts on Sally Hansen nail polish but never really taken the plunge as I assumed they were really expensive so was happy and pleasantly surprised to see some in Poundland. I am not sure if they are real or fake Sally Hansen polish but all I do know it’s they look good, lasts over a week and do not smell. Once I finished applying I noticed the nail polish odour didn’t hang around in the hair for me that’s a big huge plus.

The bottle is like any other nail polish bottle except this one has a protective cap onto on the normal lid. It has a beautiful design and I think the size is just perfect.

I would recommend this product because even though it’s from Poundland it can stand up and match even well known brands like Nail Girls. It dries quickly and one coat is enough to give you that vibrantly good looking purple with a shine to it.

What do you guys think? Are you a Sally Hansen fun or have you ever used Sally Hansen polish?
