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 โ€˜olderโ€™ and โ€˜youngerโ€™, 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 ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, letโ€™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 ๐Ÿคจ
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised๐Ÿ˜Ÿ, I know I was loved and happy.

I have never done the instagram posts before and I thought I give it a try. Lately I have been posting so many pictures on my instagram its crazy, I am enjoying cooking so much and also I have noticed since I started cooking my own meals I am actually losing weight I mean who would have thought it (obviously not me) but I am super glad and super motivated to continue. I have noticed that my eating habits have changed, I am eating more healthy these days than before and apart from having dinner at “The Slug & Lettuce” restaurant with my bestie I have not eaten out in a while (3 weeks going on 4). Even when I did go out I ate a “Grilled chicken, bacon and avocado Salad” which was real yummy but cheated on the dessert part I had Caramel Apple Crumble pie with Vanilla ice cream (just what the doctor ordered).

What have you being posting lately on your instagram? Do you have any IG account? Personal/blogging or separate?
