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.

Kitchenware Wishlist

Kitchenware Wishlist, items that I wouldn’t mind having in my kitchen. Renting an apartment with limited space has made me a minimalist when it comes to the kitchen. Some might say not only the kitchenware but the cooking too (lol) but regardless I am a kitchenware minimalist. Over the last few months on the blog I have shared many wish lists including Bedroom Wishlist but none where kitchen based.

In this post I am sharing some items that I would like to have and replace the current items in my home. There are definitely many items that I would like to replace but for now these are the major ones.

Kitchenware Wishlist

Kitchenware Wishlist

Mugs 

I am not sure about you but you can never have to many mugs. Even though I live alone, I own over 10 mugs but I am looking to replace some of them. I use half of my mugs for soups and another half for my many teas but I want to replace some of my tea mugs.

Wine glasses

I only have 4 wine glasses can you believe that? When I get visitors we end up using my many mugs or other glasses for wine, SHOCKING I know. But to add complication to this matter, I don’t even like wine unless its sweet wine.

Cutlery

When I moved into my apartment I bought the basic of items for my home and that included cutlery. It’s been almost 2 years now and the old cutlery has started to show its age and I need to replace it

Dinner set

I have always loved shopping for a dinner set for as long as I can remember. For my first paycheck when I started working I bought my parents a 16 plate dinner set and now I want to buy them another. Obviously with my limited space I can not afford to have the entire 16-plate dinner set to myself.

Bowls

I have exactly 6 bowls in my apartment, 2 large and 4 medium-sized which I used daily for my breakfast. Now as much as I would love to portray that I always leave an empty sink before dinner I do not. There are weeks when I go with dishes piling up in my sink until I have no cutlery nor breakfast bowls to use. Yes I want to buy some more so on the 7th day when I have run out I will have a replacement. These cauldron bowls look like just the ticket, I love the design and the look of them.
And that’s all for my kitchenware wishlist, though I do have more to add I will leave it here for now.

    Those are beautiful dishes. I got fancy dishes as wedding gifts (back when people still registered for china), but I’m still using our cheap every day dishes. Now that my kids are older, I really should break out the good stuff! (Hopefully, not literally!)
