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.

Sponsor Roundup · September 30, 2018

{Monthly Roundup} September 2018 Sponsors

September 2018 Sponsors is a monthly roundup of the various collaborations I had in September. Every month end I put together a dedication post thanking the brands and companies I had the opportunity to collaborate with. 

The September 2018 Sponsors roundup is the ninth dedication post of 2018 appreciating my Sponsors. Here on A July Dreamer, we collaborate with a variety of brands and companies. Visit our Work with Me page for more details on our fees and types of collaborations we offer.

September 2018 Sponsors

Every month I sit down and take stock of all the wonderful blessings that blogging has brought me. No one month is the same in the blogging world, some are better than others. September has been an even busier month than the summer months.  

I am grateful for the opportunities blogging has sent my way and continues to. Of late, the most common types of collaborations are paid than paid and gifted. Regardless, we are always happy to collaborate and include in sponsor roundup. Listed below in categories are the various collaborations we had.

Travel Collaborations September 2018 Sponsors

As a frequent traveller, I am always happy to collaborate with brands on destinations and tips & tricks. When I had the opportunity to share Reasons to fall in love with Wales, I knew it was a no-brainer. I have been to Wales twice but have not explored much. 

Are you off somewhere new and want to know How to live like a local, well look no further. I like being able to blend in with the locals and not just be a tourist out for some pictures. My biggest Thrill Seeker’s Dream has always been to have the courage to overcome my fears. Enjoying places like Alton Towers Day Trip, was always on the top of my wishlist.

I know not everyone can afford to travel as often as I do, so we shared 12 Cruise ship jobs to apply for. Another way that makes it possible for me to travel as often as I do is earnings from the blog. Having quality content and Best Cameras for bloggers, allowed me to start earning money.

  • non-medical fatigue

Lifestyle Collaborations September 2018 Sponsors

Over the last 7 years, I have seen the Benefits of practising yoga and practice it religiously. When I was looking for ways on How-to reduce non-medical fatigue, Yoga was highly recommended. Because as an insomniac I need to know Things to do when you can’t sleep, and again yoga was top of the list.

School starts at the beginning of September and every student is in need of Back to School Essentials, or Back to College Essentials. Whilst some may have started earlier, shopping for the back to school essentials is paramount. It might sound crazy but with the start of school, most start to think about Christmas festivities. We had an opportunity to try Dirty Bones Holiday Menu, and let me tell you, it exceeded expectation.

  • Outdoors indoors

Home Collaborations

Whenever the weather starts to get colder, I always look for Ways to bring outdoors indoors. With our recent Home Renovations with Harris Brushes, there is so much we want to do. We started making some updates to the kitchen with these Budget-Friendly Kitchen Renovations Ideas.

After all these renovations to our family home, we might need to use these Four Ways to Sell Your Home. If these did ever happen, we already have our Moving House and Packing list to make things easier.

On a personal level, I am utilising these Tips for saving up for the house deposit. Getting on the property ladder is more difficult now than it ever was before. In the meantime, I will continue to decorate my rented space with Personalised Gifts with TescoPhoto.com.

Fashion Collaborations September 2018 Sponsors

As soon as the weather started to get cooler, I knew I had to prepare my autumn wardrobe capsule. But no capsule is complete with a set of fitting Autumn Accessories like scarves and ankle boots.

Speaking of accessories, I love various jewellery and diamonds come to mind. They say Diamonds are forever or are they? us millennials would much rather go on vacation than spend a ridiculous amount of money on jewellery. But then again, when it comes to Selecting a meaningful gift, we can be rather sentimental. 

The September 2018 Sponsors roundup is the ninth dedication post of 2018 appreciating my Sponsors. Here on A July Dreamer, we collaborate with a variety of brands and companies. Visit our Work with Me page for more details on our fees and types of collaborations we offer.

As you can see, September was such a busy month of sponsorship and I am grateful. It has taken a lot of hard work, tears and sweat to reach this point in my blogging career. Every day I learn something new, for the first time ever I will be taking a blogging course. I want to take this platform to the next level and continue to build it as a small business.
