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.

{Christmas Challenge} Outfits

12 Days of Christmas Challenge

 

12 Days of Christmas Challenge 

Who is excited that Christmas is only a couple days away? ME ME ME…. Now that we have that covered, how many of you know exactly what you going to wear for Christmas (not only the day) but before and after? I am not the most christmas-y person when it comes to christmas outfits but I thought I give it a try seeing as you loved my Christmas Jumpers on The Myrabev Life.

Christmas outfits
Christmas outfits 

Red bridesmaid dress, £51 / Chi Chi black cocktail dress / Shirt dress, £9.33 / Slater Zorn chevron print dress, £110 / Striped dress, £11 / Christian Louboutin heels & pumps, £570 / Lipsy silver peep toe pumps / Chanel suede pumps, £205 / Gianvito Rossi pumps, £365 / The 2 Bandits silver chain necklace, £16 / Jules Smith bullet earrings, £22 / Forever 21 art deco jewelry, £3.06

Christmas Day – At church I will wear the Red dress with silver heels and simple

Christmas Eve – usually I spend time with the boo and his family and we (I mean him) cook up a storm, so the chevron dress would be perfect not too much just right.

Boxing Day – I know not everyone has the day after christmas as holiday but we do we spend it in London scouring the christmas sales. A casual skirt dress is beautiful, simple and easy enough to run around in and the shoes not too bad either but most probably will have some boots or flats tucked in somewhere.

Church Service – New years eve before london firework display we go to church and close the year. The stripe design dress and the platform pumps are perfect for this special evening to thank the lord for the long year.

New Years Eve – Every year we go to london with champagne and countdown the seconds till the new year starts, its perfect and the Chi chi black dress Leather pumps will be perfect.

What are your plans for the days leading up to christmas? Do you have your outfits picked out already?

    Christmas is nine days away and we’re all very excited for the celebration and also the vacation away from work! Those outfits all look glamorous and presentable. I thought wearing red dress with silver heels in the church will make you look lovely.

    Looks like some stunning dresses you have picked out, way to get in the festive mood! On a side note, your website doesn’t seem to be very functional on mobile, as pieces of the article are cut off. Might want to look into that!
