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?

So it may or may not (depending on who you are) surprise you to hear that I do not have a #Squad I have a group of amazing sisters and friends. Remember I mentioned them in my As Easy As Apple Pie post? We don't go around saying #YouCantSitWithUs. On the contrary, grab several seats, invite your friends too.lol. We're not out getting #Turnt every weekend because we're #NotAboutThatLife but it does #GoDownInTheDM (or our whatsapp groups) and it's #Lit everytime we link up. Our #Goals are to be more like Christ and we strive to Stay in His lane in all that we do.

As easy as Apple Pie

Hey lovely people, happy Saturday!

Hope you had an awesome week? Mine was, a lot for a lack of better words. But I got through it with the help of my amazing friends and family who are the best prayer warriors! *insert hands lifted high emoji* I'll tell you all about that soon, for now I'll just say that God's coming through for us like he always does.

So I was talking to my friend Mwaba yesterday (hey baba!) and she was asking me all these questions about being a newbie natural. Clarification on all the terms that are used in the natural world and all the products that we love/hate. She actually told me to get a post done about my hair care routine and I will, ASAP! In the meantime please be on the lookout next week for a feature I got asked to do by Esther *cheesing* who I featured on my blog a week ago in the Meet the Bloggers series. If you didn't get the chance to see it go check it out here.

Back to the title of this post, you know, in case you were wondering.*shrugs*
Yesterday, I made my first Apple Pie! *double fist pump* It turned out alright, if I do say so myself.

This all started a couple weeks ago after the cookie incident with my mom. You'll know about it if we're friends on Facebook, but long story short I baked a bunch of cookies using my trusty recipe and she ate a whole bunch then tried to blame it on me.lol.The day after that I woke up craving apple pie and googled this awesome recipe. I got it off the food network site but never got round to getting it done with all the other baking I've been doing lately, until yesterday when I decided that we needed something sweet for dessert. I told my friend Wila about it and he encouraged me to take pictures of it because I was "breaking my apple pie virginity" and it was a special day that had to be shared. (he's crazy.lol) But I'm glad he did cause now I have some pictures to share with you all.
