Lifestyle, Ramblings of a beautiful mind

Life lately, a quick update and what to expect.

January 21, 2019

Hello my awesome readers, I have to start out by saying I really appreciate the support. When I write I hope to entertain, inspire, encourage at least one person to speak their truth. However, when I post I am not sure if I am being seen but that’s where my analytics come in and we are showing substantial steady growth. I appreciate the comments on the blog, Facebook page, Instagram or just in person it really means a lot. I wanted to write this post so we all know where I am at this year, so if I ramble forgive me it’s part of my charm and will make sense…

Sipping Tea : In 2019 May We Have The Confidence Of Average Men

January 15, 2019

This post was inspired by true life events…cue epic music that lets you know that things are about to go down and that your life will never be the same again. A dear friend of mine and I were having a chilled conversation, when she related the story of her male friend who had seen a pic of a cute girl off, of her phone. Said guy mentions how this is his friends type but the problem is his not the settle down type more hit it and leave thus leaving girl devastated. My friend then asks the guy why would he assume the girl would be a whole devastated?Better…

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. I thought to mark the blogs seven month monthversary ( YAAY US) we would take a short walk down memory lane and rate in Chronological order the most read post of all time ( 7 months ). 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…

Girls Night In Ideas

October 3, 2018

“Good Times and crazy friends make the best memories” (Read in whispered voice) I have reached that stage of my late twenties where I prefer a girl’s night in over a club night out. I will be the first to admit I have done (more than) my fair share of club hopping and dancing on tables Now I prefer to meet up at someone’s house share a great meal, a drink and have amazing conversation. If this appeals to you then today’s post is totally up your alley way. I am going to give you some ideas for your next girls night in, by telling you what my friends…

How are you celebrating Heritage/ Shaka / Braai Day?

September 24, 2018

Molweni, happy Heritage day. As with all things in this beautiful country of ours this day does not come without any controversy and who am I to shy away from such after all I am the kween of Spice ( self-proclaimed) A brief History lesson…. For those who don’t know (ama 2000 I am looking at you) Heritage day was instituted in 1995 as a day to encourage South Africans to celebrate their culture and diversity of beliefs and traditions, hence further bringing the point home that the country belongs to all who live in it. Pre 1995 it was known as Shaka Zulu day to commemorate the legendary…

Experiences that have deeply changed and shaped me into the womyn I am becoming

September 20, 2018

August was a pretty hectic month for me not just work wise but also personally. I have a cousin who had preeclampsia by the grace of God baby was fine but the mom had to stay in hospital for three weeks. They are both finally home but I have to admit hospital visits are exhausting. So I have been drained from all ends, at a coffee meet up with a business partner of mine, he took one look at me and he said you are fatigued and you need rest. Firstly I was offended all that face beat and he could still see through it? Some makeup companies are in…

Sipping tea….A love letter to my Mbokodo

August 9, 2018

Today is womxns day the peak of womxns month, a month that is meant to celebrate the resilience of womxn, their absolute strength so powerful we are called mbokodo. Yet in the very next moment we are raped and murdered like we are nothing. With the many triggers happening all around us, I thought let me write y’all a love letter that celebrates your uniqueness and honors you. Dear Single womyn Side note: I feel like we still getting to know each other and sometimes I need to warn you about my side note or ramble! I had originally said single girl, see I had fallen into the trap…

June 29, 2018

Hey there amazing humans! You may know that my blog is two months old but what you may not know is that I had a blog years back on BlogSpot. I posted a few times throughout the year and got side tracked (let’s be honest I lost confidence in myself).So when I decided to restart a blog last year I made the decision to own my content (my own domain) and own my craft (write honestly) .The most important promise to myself was to connect with other amazing people (bloggers) who look for a post in every interaction and trip (even a trip to the store). I was lucky to…

Sipping Tea…. Womyn hating on other Womyn

June 27, 2018

Hello my amazing readers, firstly thank you for receiving my authentic writing so well and allowing me to speak my truth; I am enjoying the conversations that are flowing from my tea sipping post. Today I hope you have your tea and popcorn in hand, I come bearing spice and lots of it. Today I want to talk about womyn hating on other womyn. It is often said that if we hear, see or read something over and over again at some point we start to believe it to be true. This can be said of the destructive/ misleading narrative of womyn and how we cannot work together or how…
