LIFE UPDATE!

Hey Pumpkin! I hope you loves are doing good and keeping safe. Happy new month! Trust you had a lovely easter weekend.

I cannot believe we are on the fourth month of 2021 and I cannot believe it has been a whole month since I have written a blog post, Chill' Eew! that needs to change and it will and that is on period so let me let y'all know what I have been up to in the past month.

Ok so where do I start?...

First of all I want to thank God for his love, protection, and mercies in my life. Truly he is the king of kings and a GOOD GOOD father!.

Ok let's start with the fact that I got a job at a marketing agency (dream come true) and that has afforded me the privillage to work with amazing brands, to learn more about the ins-and-out of the industry, and most importantly it encourages me to dream bigger and work harder. I am so blessed to do something I absolutely love and be in an enviroment (and people) that does not only encourages me to grow and gives me the support and tools I need to better myself or grow but it's mad gorgeous sweety! ( I am obsessed with the table mountain and this city so my office views chill' are to die for).

I got my own place now - this hun is an adult chill'. Lol!. All I can honestly say is that I am truly grateful. I love the space, I love the area, the convinience, safety, and the fact that my space allows me to create content and I am inspired everyday.

My family is doing good good. My father late last year was very very sick but praises to God he is doing great so is my mom so I am very grateful for that.

Am I in a relationship? find out on the next episode of "tf is going on in her love life" lol but I am in a very committed relationship with my career.

Mentally I have been good but I could do better which is something I am working on. I am grateful for this long weekend because as much as I was very busy but I also had the chance to look back on my life and I kinda 'rebooted'. It was a very much needed break.

I am trying to be very intentional with my life, the things I say, how I speak to myself, mindful of my thoughts, mindful of the people and energies I let in and surround myself with. My main goal is to create the life I want for myself, manifest it and work hard and smart for it.

I am manifesting a healthy life, happy life, soft life and soft love, and a lot of money :).

Nothing is all cute and candy trust me! just last week I had a mental breakdown and complained a lot about shit but I am choosing to be positive and be grateful. I am learning to forgive myself for sleeping on my potential, for the self sabotage, and the BS I put myself through. I am healing and re-writing my story and sometimes I have to start over and over again and I cry myself to bed but that is OK.

I am very grateful to each and everyone of you who constantly come back to read my blog posts. Your support is highly appreciated NINGADINWA as I am trying to grow my brand.

Please give me any life advise in the comment section below.

Love you tons!

FEBRUARY FAVS!

Hi Pumpkins I hope you loves are doing well and keeping safe.

February went by pretty fast ey! Like it was the 1st of February just a week ago and now the month is over, how!? But like all good things, this too must come to an end.

As we celebrated love this month I thought it would be fitting for me to share with you guys five things that I have been obsessed with this month. February favs if you may.

I am always sharing “heavy” content on this platform I thought I should share something light and a little fun this time so let’s get into it.

1. Mr Price ruched strap on mules– Y’all!!!... I didn’t believe in love at first sight but now I do chill’ (like every other time I made an impulsive purchase but like every time it’s different and this was DIFFERENT OK!) . I fell in love with these the minute (let’s say the second because it was that fast) I laid my eyes on them. They are definitely stylish I can wear them with literally anything and still look cute (very on brand for me chill’) they are not that comfortable but beauty is pain and beauty over everything right!? (lol wow! That is a lot coming from someone who prioritizes comfort over everything but I guess that girl is gone now and lil’ Miss Boujie Boujie is born. Love it for me).

BUY ME BUY ME!! https://www.mrp.com/en_za/ruched-strap-slip-on-mule-8800911729?sku=01_8800911729

2. Blue claws by @khunji_nails - I work with Khunji nails as their nail brand ambassador and social media account manager. Every month we create new stunning, a little extra (because I mean...) and eye-catching designs which is super fun. This month we decided to do something different and completely out of my comfort zone, color and stiletto shape (I tend to always shy away from color and I am obsessed with the square shape so this was definitely out of my comfort-zone a lil' bit) but I am absolutely obsessed with them. If you are based in Cape Town I totally recommend you to book your appointment with her and follow her on Insta @khunji_nails.

3. Tripod – I am trying to get into the YouTube space so I am filming everyday just to get into the swing of things and this tripod has been so helpful I can just put it in my bag and take it out whenever I feel like vlogging.

Please subscribe to my channel if you care :): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_I4SE6nsKT45WAzJC8rLoA

4. My Phone – My phone is my life. literally!. I work for an advertising agency (Birthday gift from God and a freakin' dream come true) and I am building my brands so with that I am always on my phone and quite frankly I cannot live without it.

5. The Salt Yard restaurant - I will be doing restaurants reviews soon on my platforms but I just want to mention The Salt Yard because they are lit. Their esthetic is very pleasing, their food is delish, easy to access, service is amazing and price? chill' AFFORDABLE. Love it there!.

NB: Check out my lasted IG post for content I took there and check out "eat out" highlight for cute places I go to.

Well that's all folks! Please share with me your February favs in the comments.

Lots of love from your fav!

JORDAN YEAR

Hey Pumpkins!:) first post in the new year so a very happy new year to you cupcake.

Well it might be a new year but Corona virus unfortunately is still spreading like wild fire therefor you know what to do: take care of yourself by taking necessary precautions to protect yourself and those around you against covid19.

As you can tell by the title it is my Jordan year, 23 years of grace chill'!. I am feeling very blessed and grateful but I will not lie to you I am also very anxious because for some reason (by that I mean the immense amount of pressure that I put on myself) I feel like I should be a little further in life than I am now, quite frankly I should be where I aspire to be in life and should have achieved a lot more than I have (insane I know) .I honestly just want to be 22 for-like-I don't know- EVER!.

Any way enough whining let's get to business. On todays' blog post I will be sharing with you guys 5 lessons that I have learnt and that have kept me going. I could do 23 lessons I have learnt at 23 but that would take the whole day and I need to go celebrate my birthday so let's get to it.

1. God's love is perfect and his promises remain - Jerimiah 1:5 and Jerimiah 29:11 have been instilled in me from a very young age however when life happens by that I mean when the going gets tough we forget the promises that the lord promised us but look at the circumstances. As I reflect on my life I can testify on how perfect Gods' love is and I thank him for his unconditional love.

2. In life if you do not choose, life will choose for you - Ok this one is literally just that. Also not choosing is choosing.

3. Mind over matter - Y'all know I live by this, "your strongest muscle is your mind, train it well".

4. Celebrate yourself - It is very hard for me to celebrate my wins no matter how significant those wins are instead I want to do better and more but I have learnt the hard way to take a minute and do a little dance or give myself a little pat at the back when goals are met because not doing so leads to me underestimating myself and drained. I know there are a lot of us who just want to be great but never leave a room for disappointments or failure, it is super important that you celebrate yourself both you wins and losses.

5. Just start! show up for yourself - Like most people the fear of starting does get the better of me. I have learnt that fear will always creep in like the thief at night but what is important is STARTING scared, STARTING WITH NOTHING but JUST START because your future self will thank you for it.

I hope you guys enjoyed today's post and find something of value from it.

Please do share your lessons.

XOXO
