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.

February Must Haves 

February must haves, these are items that I am wanting and some of them I am saving for throughout the year.

Michael kors
When I think about putting must haves list I always think about the things that I need either soon or in a couple of months which could also be something my reader might relate. This time it is totally different, the February must haves list is more of m gift pleasure of little items that I was more so now because of my impromptu weekend getaways.
I have a collection of small clutch bags for different occasions but I think of my entire collection only two of them can I switch from Day to Night. I love items that are versatile because these days everyone is out for ‘one fits all’ item which includes can be used both day and night.
I do not own any MK bags and I would definitely like to own at least one but the prices do not really agree with my budget so I am always putting them on my wish list hoping a friend or family member will gift it to me. But alas I am still waiting so I have decided to start saving for one and hopefully sometime this year I will have one.
Do you like clutch/crossover bags? Do you own any MK bags?
