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 · November 28, 2015

{Sponsors} Thank you November 2015 Sponsors

Welcome to my 500th post, isn’t it just crazy!!sponsors

Though it has only been a week since I shared my (late) Thank you October 2015 Sponsors, it is time again to send another round of thanks to the awesome sponsors that graced this blog and has supported the growth of this blog. I want all my readers, sponsors and future/potential sponsors to know that I do not take it for granted when I am contacted to either work via a PR company or directly with the company. For me it is always a pleasure and privilege to be able to combine my love of blogging and earning something from it.

November has been such a wonderful month for me, I have gotten back my blogging mojo and it’s been absolutely wonderful to sit and blog without feeling unmotivated (if there is such a word). I will begin thanking the sponsors/collaborators with the latest posts.

Bolsover Cruise Club – I love traveling, it is in my blood and it has been such an amazing experience that I feel I need to continue doing until I am not able to anymore. This wonderful sponsor offers amazing cruise deals from short European deals 2 or 4 nights to longer transatlantic cruises 12/14 days.

One Marylebone – Christmas is around the corner, most of us will be hosting christmas dinners and/or parties. I worked with this sponsor to share with you some of my christmas party planning tips. Everyone has their own way of doing things and I hope my tips can add to your routine or been your new way altogether.

Case Happy – This was my second time working with this sponsor, last year I reviewed an iPad cover and this year I reviewed an iPhone 6 case cover for my new phone. It is always awesome and gratifying when you’re able to work with sponsors and PR’s over and over again.

Boudoir Bedroom – I worked with this sponsor to bring you find steps to turn your bedroom into a boudoir. Some wonderful tips were shared by the readers too which made this really special to me.

EDOM  – I was sent the EDOM body butter to review and share my findings with my readers, I welcomed this opportunity since during winter my skin needs all the help it can get to stay moisturised and looking healthy.

This was a really awesome and wonderful month for me as so many opportunities came my way and I feel very privileged and blessed.

How was your November?
