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.

Birthday Wishlist

Hi there, so my birthday is coming up and so is my 1 year blogaversay so got so much to do and plan. Anyway today I would like to share with you what’s on my Birthday wishlist and I am so excited because with my job I can personally afford these items one at a time but when you gat lovely friends and family why not toss it their way too (lol).

chrome

1. Y’all I need me a chromebook or MAC because I blog on my Ipad during the week and it ain’t no easy thing.  So I have decided to get me one of these soon

2. I need car before or immediately after my birthday, this is the year that I get a car and my own place so Family and Friends you up for this wish

3. There is no question about this one because its a done deal, I  will aim to do some vlogs whilst I am back home.

4-6. These I plan to do at least one for my birthday and then one in September and another in October

So this is my so expensive birthday wishlist but then again you only live once so why not? Whats your birthday wishlist like apart from happiness, good health and world peace?

I know my Wishlist is pretty crazy already but I wouldn’t mind winning this trip to Vegas my self. How about you? I have been busy promoting it but not entered it yet, well that’s about to change. Have you entered this competition yet? If not click this image to enter.

    The Mac!! bet thing ever! Also, I’ve heard that Chromebooks don’t work well without internet, so I’d really be worried about using it.

    Droolworthy list! Can’t wait to see pictures of all your trips!

    My birthday is in September and I’ll be just going back to work so mine will be low key – no Milan or Paris in the near future. We are saving to take the kids to Disneyland in Spring 2015 so that will be our gifts for a few years haha.
