Hi there my awesome readers, you might have noticed that I am not posting as regularly,quite honestly my nine to five has me doing back strokes as we try to finish off the year.

What not to do at your work end year function? This is one of my latest posts and I attribute it being number 1 as more people knew the blog existed and honestly people are not trying to be…

Recount all the good
Hey there! as we are nearing the end of the year, it’s becoming harder to wake up cause our bodies are ready to sleep in with no alarm clocks and our brains are tired. That’s why I think there is no better time time than now to recount all the good that has happened this year. Too often we have a bad meeting, or one chaotic hour and then we say we had a bad day, so it is with our year. We might have had one or two things not go our way and we might incorrectly say 2018 wasn’t our year. That is why it is good…

Stop being your worst critic… Telling the negative feedback to sit down
Molweni, I am a huge fan of introspection and right now I am going through a process of renewing my mind and getting rid of self –deprecating habits.This began by accepting that not only is my brain going at 200 kilometers per hour but if it were a phone it has tons of apps open not sure where the music is coming from, or which apps are draining all the energy. Have no fear since I am an adult whose clocked life (lies) I have discovered that negative feedback is such an app Let me give you an example, I will be having my meditation time and a thought…

My Travel Wish List
Molweni and welcome to Sandivember, Yes it’s my birthday month and I renamed an entire month after myself. If you haven’t guessed it by now I love my birthday and I have heard of putting stuff out into the universe so I thought let me do the most not subtle hint ever and do a travel wish list whilst I wait for my savings to grow. My idea of the perfect trip is not staying at the five star hotels (not that I would decline such an offer) but I would love to mingle with the locals. I do not want to be a tourist I really would…

How to say goodbye to belly fat forever.
Am I the only one who struggles with losing belly fat? Only I don’t call it that. I call it my food baby, sometimes I squeeze it and tell it that mommy can no longer keep feeding it and sometimes I scream at it to go away and never come back, and this for some unexplainable reason doesn’t work. Today we are going to deal with it once and for all. Firstly we are going to have an honest conversation and debunk some myths whilst we at it. Myth 1 – You can target just belly fat You cannot isolate it. You cannot just target belly fat. Often it is…

Be Set Apart
Happy Monday! Can you feel the Dezember vibes around the corner? I personally cannot wait to go on holiday and just rest. Today on Inspire Monday I want to talk about being set apart and what it fully means. We are nearing the end of the year and I hope we have reached most if not all of our goals. I know that the habit going forward is doing just enough to make it to the end of the year. I want to encourage you to do more than that, to not give up or in, push harder like it’s still the beginning of the year and you still have…

Cheering others on
“What I love about you the last few months is that you set your goals and then mission for it…You’ve got people rooting for you.” This was a message from a dear friend of mine after I sent a voice note venting about whatever was vexing me at that moment. What I loved about it was that it was not only inspiring but a confirmation that I have the right circle of friends. Recently I saw another friend posting on Facebook about how womyn do support each other it just depends on us to surround ourselves with the right kind of friends. This got me thinking about the people who…
