Note to Self

Happy Friday!

This was my mood a couple of weekends ago:

Lesson learnt!

Lol! But seriously though. *straight face*

Got an exciting week in store for you! Be on the lookout *winks*

Have a lovely weekend!

Lessons learnt from my own encounters with "Becky with the good hair"

Happy Thursday!

So you've probably been living under a rock if you haven't heard about the bomb that is Lemonade; Beyonce's visual album that was dropped at the weekend. While you may not have heard all the songs or taken note of all the lyrics this one stands out,

 "He better call Becky with the good hair."

How to: banana bread and homemade custard

Happy Hump Day :)

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend? Mine is very quiet and relaxing; just the way I like it! So I was going through my All Things Edible tab and realized that I've been slacking on the foodie posts. *hides face* Sorry! Fear not my fellow foodies, I got you! *exaggerated wink*

So the other day, I think it was last Wednesday *checks picture time stamp*, I got up and decided to make banana bread. Why you ask? Why not? lol. Okay, maybe it's because i'd spent the previous night discovering and going through Michelle's blog Across The Ordinary. I fell in love with her banana bread recipe.  and vowed to try it the next day.

My Daddy God

Hey lovelies! Happy Thursday :)

Have you ever had one of those days where you're just low and overwhelmed with emotions? 

Yesterday was mine. Actually no. Honestly, I've been feeling that way since a couple of days *read posts* ago. I've just been ignoring it and keeping it in check. Cause you know, can't be wearing my emotions on my sleeve anymore. 

"I'm a big girl."

Or so I thought. 

I'm literally sitting at the kitchen table wiping my tears and blowing my nose as I type this. Be grateful you can't see me. I'm not a pretty crier. Ask my best friends. Ask my family. They know.lol 

I digress *hides face*.  Back to why I'm here and what got me to this point.

Natural hair tag ft Mwaba! 🙆💇

Happy Choose Day lovelies!

Hope you're all choosing to be happy? Yesssss!
So you all remember how a couple of weeks ago one of my favourite bloggers Esther did a feature on me about 17 natural hair questions? Well, I've been in the tag mood and had the bright idea to turn it into a tag because the questions were so awesome! Go check out her blog EstherAKat to see the original post.

Mwaba is one of my best friends and a newbie natural! She was actually natural when I first met her with the lovliest hair and I was so excited when she jumped back on the healthy hair journey, even more excited when she did her BC! She actually requested that I get my Hair Regimen out and I think I mentioned that in a post. Well when it came time to do the tag I couldn't think of anyone better to do it :)

Enjoy!

Holy Spirit Contact High 😆🙌

Happy Friday lovelies!

So yesterday I wasn't feeling too eager to share my devotions or some of the amazing posts I'd read on one of my favourite blogs with my Whatsapp groups like I usually am. Why you ask? Well, I'd been sharing the last couple of days and had started getting the feeling like I was being too much? Or too preachy? If you know what I mean.

But then, I stumbled across this picture...

...and I knew it was directed towards me. So I shrugged off my "negative nelly" coat and got to sharing, then headed to bed.

Sweater Weather Tag ft Grace K

Happy "hump" day lovelies!

So as you know I'm a dedicated YouTube watcher. And I don't mean the search for a random video kind, I'm a real deal subbie. I follow various YouTubers on their channels and wait to get notified about new videos. I love vlogs, hair, make-up and food tutorials. The one thing I especially love is the Tags! And I've been wanting to do some for a while, but as I'm not venturing off into the Vlogsphere any time soon, I decided I'd start some up here :)

How appropriate is it to have the first one be a #SweaterWeather tag? If you've read my Taking stock Autumn 2016 post you'll know how much I love this time of year. And I met someone who's equally excited about it, my (in another life) twin *cheesing* So grab whatever hot drink you fancy and enjoy the read.

Favourite candle scent?
I love the smell of vanilla-caramel and autumn leaves. I love the smell of pine in the woods; it's very calming and has an air of serendipity that allows me to escape to an intangible place that transcends physical domain. I call this place "Ëranudiamopolis" my place, my secret place.

Exciting changes

Happy Monday lovelies,

Hope you had a lovely weekend and are having a great start to your week?
I had an amazing weekend. My beautiful cousin *read sister* Kenna got married to her love Levi and I stood in as a make-up artist/hair stylist/photographer and guest.lol. You guys know what family weddings are like. It was super fun and I'd definitely do it all over again.

Unfortunately I'm down with the flu now so I spent most of yesterday and today in bed. Body too sore and voice long gone so I couldn't get much done but it did give me the opportunity to do some of the changes I'd been wanting to do on the blog for a while. #SilverLining

Lol!

I Am A Zed Blogger Challenge : How To Survive In The Jungle

Ola!

As I mentioned in my last post, I recently joined the #IAmAZedBlogger Challenge because I am just that; a loud proud Zambian blogger hoping to make my mark and have my little voice heard.

This Month's post is titled "How To Survive In The Jungle" and it came with this little quote,

"Africa is not for sissies, but if you make it here you can make it anywhere."

I believe that is so true and while it may be applied to many areas of life, my challenge today is to let you all know how I make that quote work for me in the big bad blogsphere.

*roaring in the distance*

While trying to navigate my way through this "Jungle" I've picked up a few survival tools that newbies and seasoned explorers alike may find useful.

Taking stock Autumn 2016

Hello lovelies!

*shocked face emoji* Is it seriously April already? I feel like I only just put up that Hello March picture a few days ago. Where's the time flying to you guys? *sigh*

So it's Autumn!!! I actually miss being in Cape Town around the time of year. Not for the ugly weather change; who misses the cold, wet rain? Not this girl! I miss it for all the lovely colours of the leaves and the few flowers that are still around. My walks home were the best at this time of year. That, and over sized sweater and scarf weather, Yes? *Hi5 emoji*

Winter's coming here too and the rainy days are getting a little more spread out. We're in the second quarter of the year and I thought it would be best to do another one of these, just to keep on track yeah?
