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.

Expert House Cleaning by Fantastic Services

Affiliate Links PR Sample

It is often said that a clean home is a happy home and I love a clean home. What I love even more is having an expert house cleaning company coming over to my house and giving it a once over. Recently, I had an amazing opportunity to utilize an expert house cleaning company to clean my home and I couldn’t be happier as there is nothing like having a professional company do the cleaning for you. Over the last few years, I have invested heavily in hiring professional cleaning companies to professionally clean my home every 3-months. 

Fantastic Services are a UK company who specialise in providing various home services, from house cleaning, pest control to waste removal and even appliance repair. The opportunity to collaborate with Fantastic Service came at the right time as I was in the market for a new cleaning company and they fit the bill. As someone who has moved house more than 8 times in the last 10 years, I have had my share of cleaning disasters. It took me a while to realise that hiring a cleaning company to perform a one-off cleaning was worth the expense.

Expert House Cleaning Company

Disclosure: Fantastic Services provided a home cleaning service in exchange for an honest review of the service provided.

Expert House Cleaning by Fantastic Services Review

Fantastic Services is a company that was founded by Anton and Rune back in 2009, at that time Rune was searching for a professional carpet cleaning company and Anton was running one. The two like-minded individuals quickly realised that they have a shared vision about the industry and decided to create a ‘one-stop-shop’ cleaning company. A year after the company’s inception, they added Fantastic gardening and removals and not long after many other services were added to the portfolio. The company provide services within London and across the UK and have over 25+ professional home cleaning and maintenance services.

One of the most appealing features about Fantastic services is you have an opportunity to complete an online form to determine who many hours of house cleaning you will need. When I completed the online form, it was estimated that I would need less than 3 hours for the crew to clean my home top to bottom. And whilst I did not have to use the website to book my cleaning, that was the estimate the company provided me with after a discussion with them. 

Other cleaning companies that I have used in the past required that I provide equipment {hoover} and cleaning products but with Fantastic Services, they come equipped with high-grade equipment and products. One thing that they request of their clients is to ensure there is available parking for the cleaning crew when they come to service your home. I was absolutely impressed with the service that I received from Fantastic Services and would highly recommend them.

The only issue that I experienced with the company was the staff barely spoke English and if I had to request them to do anything specific I was not sure they would understand me. What I did love is that even those we had a language barrier they cleaned my home to perfection. In the bathroom, I had stains that for the life of me I could not remove in the bath tub, the sink and the toilet basin. Whatever they used, they were able to remove the stain no problem and now my home seems brand new.

Though I am an untidy person, I did have a lot of things out of place, clothes that were washed days ago lounging on the sofa as well as the floor. When I came back I found they had nicely folded the clothes, hoovered the carpets, polished the countertops and emptied all my bins. I also noticed that they had dusted my bookcases, top selves, washed the dishes, dried and put them away.

Fantastic Services definitely blew my mind and I am thankful for such a wonderful service that they provided. One thing I should mention is that they have such reasonable prices I have paid more than what they have quoted for a one-off cleaning and if I had known about them previously. I would have definitely chosen them to clean my home whether its a regular domestic clean or a one-off.

    I’d love to get a cleaner to come in and clean the high traffic areas of the home on a regular basis. I’ll have to take a look at Fantastic Cleaning to see if they offer services in my area
