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.

{Beauty} Recent Purchase

Friday wishes

Lately I have been thinking about getting a few products from my beloved Love Me Beauty a subscription box I have been loving for a while now. They have changed up the system, previously you would pay £12.95 (P&P included) and they would pack up 5-6 beauty items that they think you will like and send them out but lately what they have introduced is a points system, so you still pay the same amount monthly but you have more control on the choice of products you get or you can leave it up to them and they will choose something. I like this new system as well as the new website design its really pretty and easy to navigate. I decided to get a few things with my six points, since my last box was picked for me I was hooked on the face product I recieved and I wanted more.

Grapefruit Face Cleanser – Our foaming cleansing gel synthesizes natural grapefruit extract with amino acid-based cleansing agents.  Unlike traditionally harsh detergents that can be drying, stripping and irritating, this formula gently and thoroughly purifies and hydrates to ph balance all skin types, especially sensitive.  Rinses residue free,eliminating the need for a toner. Perfect make-up removal (including eye makeup). Natural fragrance and color.

Sally Hansen nail polishes Nail colour covers in just one coat, brilliantly. The Perfectionist Brush™ contours to any nail, so colour always glides on precisely, quickly, flawlessly. And, the exclusive Flexiglass Complex combines beautiful, brilliant shine and super-strong wear. So simple, so Sally.

I can not wait to try these nail polishes off, I am so excited. I know fall is almost over and summer is long gone but that don’t mean I can not wear bright colours. What are your favourite nail polish buys? Have you ever used Malin + Goetz products before?

    I think the new system is better because you can choose what products go into your box and not having products that you will not use. – themisischronicles.com
