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.

{Featured Brand} MAHI Leather ~ #Frankwater

MAHI Leather is a brand based out of London, UK and named after Mahi River in India. The Mahi River is located in the western region of India and is worshipped by a lot of people. It is a host to many temples and places of worship along its shores. Rural India like many others in developing countries suffers from poor sanitation and access to clean water.

Access to clean water is something we take advantage of in developed countries but it’s not the case everywhere. Due to growing water crisis in developing countries MAHI donates $1.50 from every bag sold to water charities. Whilst MAHI is a relatively new brand to me, I was simply touched by their mission to ‘do some good‘. One of their biggest efforts is donating $1.50 for every bag sold to FRANK Water projects.

Mahi leather and Frank Water Charity

Frank Water

FRANK Water is a UK charity that has helped over 300,000 people gain access to clean drinking water since 2005. To date, MAHI have raised $7,439 for FRANK Water, over 510 people have access to clean water in their homes. Frank water collaborates with six NGO Partners in India whom they meet with regularly to assess the status. By creating partnerships in the UK, a diverse and effective networks of campaigners has been achieved.

Here’s how that money changes lives:

  • $1.50. Can provide the materials necessary to carry out water testing to a whole community of 250 people. {FRANK Water’s Samerth project}
  • $15. Is enough to provide clean, safe water and access to improved sanitation for one person
  • $100. Can cover water testing across two communities reaching 5000 people. {FRANK Water’s CURE project}
  • $1,000: Can support 158 individuals in their Samerth project to claim access to land rights.  And can improve sanitation through India’s Clean India Campaign

Multi-buy discounts available for purchasing more than 3 wash-bags!

    I was a part of an event a few years ago that focused on clean drinking water and it is crazy that many people do not have access to clean water where they live. Such a sad reality, but true.

    I love it when companies give a part of their proceeds to things like this! We have donated to buy clean water filters for people without access to clean water. I just can’t imagine not turning on the faucet and having clean water to drink.
