Hey there my amazing readers! It’s our last full week of July (this month had three months in it) and to finish off the savings month we go shopping. It gets better this kind of shopping also gives back to charity. Yep you guessed right I am talking about thrift shopping. To make sure I got the (best) full experience as a first timer, I got the assistance of an old friend of mine who’s also a patron of St Bernard’s Hospice, Mimi has been supporting the shop and the hospice for the last five years. So whenever she has any good quality clothes which are no longer in use…

Hi there, before I start is it me or has the year flown by? Still so much to accomplish and it seems like so little time (Sigh!). Today for my #InspireMondays I want to talk about a quote by Yasmin Mogahed, that just spoke directly to my soul. How wonderful is this quote that it says that Everything is aimed to bring us back to God our creator, who is love. Whatever you are going through remember it is part of the love story.

The first being this unbelievable strength that we as womxn are meant to have. No I am not talking about the strength of team nyamezela the one…
