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.

{Guest post} How’s Your Mood Today??? ~ Tea to suit your mood

I woke up late yesterday (Tuesday) morning, I had training in Hampshire and I had 3 trains and 2 taxis to catch to get there. Let’s just say I did not have a great start to my morning, today I was making tea and it got me thinking about the post Kate had written for my blog and I figured this is the best time for me to saying it with you guys because I was stressing yesterday so that was my mood and Kate wrote about “Tea to suit your mood”

I hope you will enjoy this post as much as I did, I have found it insightful, what about you? Please comment below and let me know what you think or if you have more insight on this topic.

***************************

Tea is a favourite drink amongst many people and is often used as a way of calming a situation, making a person feel better or as an accessory to mindless gossip. Whatever you use tea for it isn’t uncommon to hear the phrase “I’ll put the kettle on’ in surroundings such as the home or office. There are of course hundreds of blends, flavours and varieties of tea to choose from so how do we know what to choose? The choice of course is entirely up to you. We have however put together six teas to suit six moods.
1.Pick Me Up

If you’re a large coffee drinker because you rely on caffeine to get you through the day, try drinking black tea. Tea has a lot less caffeine in it than coffee does however there is still enough of it to pick you up. Not only does the caffeine help but the strong smell of the tea helps to excite your senses.
2.Under The Weather

We all get under the weather at times making us feel glum and extremely sorry for ourselves. Let’s not have it last longer than it needs to though, with fruit flavoured teas such as lemon, raspberry and orange you’ll be on your way to recovery. These teas are great for aiding your recovery from sore throats, bad heads and general aches and pains.
3.Stress Relief

Feeling stressed isn’t nice and it’s something we all experience at one point or another. If you’re feeling stressed try drinking green tea. Green tea has excellent health benefits, less caffeine and a refreshing flavour to help wash away your stresses.

4.Thirsty
Hot days can really take it out of us resulting in us feeling dehydrated and in need of a good drink. Iced teas are exactly what you want in this situation, their refreshing and cooling qualities will have you feeling revitalised in no time at all. A perfect accessory to a sunny day.

5.Feeling Healthy

Feeling healthy and fresh is something we all enjoy, luckily for us tea can contribute. White tea is extremely good for us due to its natural antioxidants and lack of caffeine. This tea is also the least processed tea available giving it a wonderful light flavour anyone can enjoy.
6.Feeling Creative

If you’re struggling to get your creative side up and running try taking 5 minutes with a cup of Indian Chai tea. This fantastically flavoursome tea is loaded with beautiful spices and tinges that will fully satisfy the pallet. Feel free to drink this tea as it is or add a little something such as honey or cream for an extra bit of zing.
