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.

Sponsor Roundup · February 27, 2015

{Sponsors} Thank you February Sponsors (2015)

ajulydreamer.com (1)Every single time a company, PR or application for sponsorship gets approved I am humbled. Because there are so many blogs out there that I think are better than mine and to have a sponsor choose to work with me is very humbling. I do not take it for granted, blogging is a hobby which one day I would love to earn some income from. Currently I get about £100 a month from sponsors and for me that is a lot because that is used for paying of hosting fees, buying me popcorns and other things. At one point helped me pay off an expected bill so I am eternally grateful for the wonderful sponsors that entrust there products with me. For those who would like to work with me you’re more than welcome but please also read my disclaimer policy as this is non negotiable. All opinions are my own and always honest, if I don’t like a product I say it and why. So now let’s showcase some of the February 2015 sponsors
**Disclaimer – Not all sponsors are listed, please note if I have not blogged about your product yet I am still reviewing and not forgotten**

buytshirts - EditedBuyTshirtsonline – I was introduced to this brand via Blogger’s required. I was chosen to work (see review) with them a few days after I applied, they sent instructions quickly and I was amazed by their delivery service. I am still loving my hoodie it is warm and now residing as my comfort cloths so wearing daily after work. If you are in the market for some quality but inexpensive clothes of different types then check them out you won’t be disappointed.

mdayToxicfox – I am sure you remember I worked with them to bring you some Valentines gift Ideas and now I worked with Toxicfox to bring you Mother’s day ideas  and a chance to win £50. The competition is simple and you can choose any social platform you want to enter the competition (more details).

Social Media: Twitter|Facebook

DSCF2451 - EditedOZ Naturals – Firstly I love OZ natural’s products, they are natural and they have been really good to my skin so when I was asked again to review the Tonic, Cleanser and Mask I couldn’t be more happier. The beauty about Oz naturals is you know what you getting they list everything in there products and the percentages. I was amazed at the effects of products and happy to recommend them to all skin types.

mybuddyboxMy Buddy-Box – I was very surprised when I received this product, I was chosen via Blogger’s required and I guess I thought it would look like the picture. When it arrived I thought someone had bought me a laptop bag to match my faux fur leopard print coat but then I opened it and I was so amazed. It’s a great invention very innovative but I think it works best for people who drive not pedestrians like me so I have gifted this to my parents who are happily using the box. You can read my review and check out the website for more information.

Thank you so much to all my sponsors, this blog is and always will be a personal one but I am blessed to be offered products which I never knew about, some which I did and happy to try. Thank you for helping this blog grow and hope to work with you again in the future.

    Kudos to you for the awesome sponsored opportunities you have had. Sponsored posts are always awesome especially if it is a product you enjoy and can share your personal experience with your readers and it is one they can relate too.

    Great shoutout! It looks like you got a chance to work with a very nice and varied collection of companies. I love working with sponsors to learn about different products before they hit the shelves or market. I am also humbled when a company reaches out to me out of the blue after they have read something that I’ve written…and would like to work with me.

    Wow, it’s interesting to see how other genres generator income. As a travel blogger, we don’t really work with sponsors on a monthly basis– just whenever we go on a trip. I’m interested in hearing more though! Do you reach out to all of these companies and pitch them to sponsor you?

    These are great sponsors! I should really work more on my
    blog, so I can get as much sponsors as I can. I think it really helps attract
    more readers since it makes you more legit in a sense…

    Wow you have gotten some really great sponsors last month! That’s a good chunk of money, I love being able to make some money. I make more money with my other website than my actual blog. I’ve tried to make it a goal to only do 3-5 product reviews month so I’m not over powering my blog with just one thing.

    It looks like you had
    some great sponsors last month. I am also grateful for my blog sponsors as they
    are what enable me to cover my blogging fees to each month. Also, it is fun
    trying out new products and being able to leave my honest opinions about them.

    The Toxic Fox stuff looks so cool! Love the My Buddy Box too. Honestly, they all look like really great sponsors. You have some really unique products to review! Is Toxic Fox just in the UK?
