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.

{Beauty} EDOM Review 

Winter is here and it’s time to update our skincare routine. I don’t know about you but I hate how quickly the skin drys up in winter, I remember one time I went out with friends wearing long sleeved top. When we got to the restaurant I took off the jacket and pulled my sleeves up and OMG were my arms dry looking or what I was mortified. I had left home moisturised but clearly the cream wasn’t good enough, ever since I never leave the house without topping up my moisturiser with baby oil as I know I can rely on it.
 When I got the request to try out EDOM’s shear body butter I was skeptical but also eager to try it out. The Shea body butter contains vitamins & plant oils and I chose the patchouli lavender scent which is just heavenly. For me shea body butter has to behaviour like baby oil without the  side effects or looking shiny and oil transferring to my clothes. I want and need body butter that keeps my skin moisturised all day long and can withstand harsh weather.


The EDOM Shea body butter is white in colour, very soft and creamy. It feels great when I apply it onto my skin, it’s very moisturising and though it contains plant oils did not leave my skin greasy. It seems to last all day without clothes transfer which is a big plus.

Apart from the texture, the lavender scent is absolutely divine and so relaxing. I have been using the cream for a week plus now and I am loving it big time and I personally recommend for those looking for body butter which protects your skin, keeps it moisturised and does not ruin your clothes. I am looking at my skin now and it does not look greasy, just fresh and nicely moisturised.

I am absolutely in love with this body butter, have you tried it before? Ever heard of EDOM? Don’t miss out and check it out.

    I had this in my hand for about two seconds before my SIL fell in love w/it and I gave it to her, lol. It does smell good. I might get a new one of my own.

    I have not heard of this brand before, but I’m crazy about body butters, especially in the wintertime when my skin tends to get dry and flakey.

    I love a good body butter. Especially in the winter, when my skin gets really dried out and sometimes even cracks open.

    I’ve never tried this brand before. I have tried products that have dead sea mud or oil, and they are always so nice, so this is probably something I would really enjoy!
