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.

IMG_0290-0.JPG   IMG_0326-0.JPGHi, I am Miranda and I am a ‘lipstiholic’. I was diagnosed when I turned 11 years old and still at 27 years old I still have the same diagnosis. I have a problem which has resulted in me Lusting for Fall lipsticks, My lipstick collection, Wishlists  and my problem is so bad I have resorted to asking strangers to Buy me a lipstick. This has all been made worse by my love for a beauty subscription box Love Me Beauty which in october introduced me to Marabella and now I can not seem to get enough. The first time I tried Heat I was very sceptical I did not think it would surpass my love for MAC Ruby Woo, impossible I hear my inner goddess say but its the gospel truth. Heat and Fever both have stayed on my lips for over 14 hours with just one application and no touch ups. My lips were never deserted with dryness but kept under wraps with moisture and warmth. I eat like a new born baby and messy like a toddler and still I did not lose the wonderful shine or sparkle. I am still amazed, its been 12 days and still I am amazed every day because I never thought I would find anything that would pass my beloved MAC Ruby Woo. I am recommending it to all my ladies that dare wear these shades, to help with keep these babies on the lips and not all over your face I suggest the Marabella Lip tart liner or Bashful. Have you ever used Marabella products? What is your favourite shade?

    I think the Heat would work well with my skin tone. I am terrible at assessing the colors of lipsticks. The other day, I thought this one color was a deep coral, and it came out pretty red.
