ICY CATALOG ANTI-BLUE LIGHT GLASSES REVIEW.

Hey loves! A lot has changed since we last spoke but I hope you cuties are good and keeping safe. We are on level 2 of the lockdown, Yey!, which means a lot of restrictions have been lifted but I would like to encourage you guys to continue taking necessary precautions to protect yourselves and your loved ones against this virus. The fight is not over yet.

On this blog post I will be giving you guys my honest opinion of Icy Catalog eye wear. They sent me four different designs of anti-blue light glasses to review.

Anti blue light glasses are glasses that protect your eyes from the blue light emitted by screens which cause headaches, eye strain, migraines and disturb your sleeping cycle.

Like most ( if not all) of you guys I am always glued to my screen(s) especially now that everything has moved virtually including my classes. As a full-time student, digital entrepreneur and a blogger I am literally always glued to a screen, be it I am watching my favorite movies/series, scrolling through social media, attending classes or working. My eyes could feel the strain. I had severe headaches and my sleeping cycle was horrible.

My concern as someone who has never worn glasses before was that they will feel uncomfortable but to my surprise they are very light weight and they are comfortable. I have been seeing a difference in the past few days since I have had them, I do not remember the last time I had a headache because I was on my computer for too long.

My favorite thing about these glasses is that they do not only protect your eyes but they are so stylish (alignment of brands right there chille). Icy Catalog have a variety of designs which you can choose from at a very affordable price.

Health is wealth therefor it is crucial for each and everyone of us to pay special attention to our health and invest in ourselves.

WHERE DO I SEE MY BRAND IN 10 YEARS?

Hi Cuties! I hope you are holding up good good. I know it has been a minute chille! consistency is something I do not lack ( I know what you thinking but hear me out...) but self-doubt and the fear of annoying or bombarding you with too many blog posts. But to come to think of it, Imagine if Nicki Minaj stopped making music because she did not want to annoy or bombard people with "too many" songs she wouldn't be the first artist in history to have #1 song on every billboard chart ( can you tell I am bragging about her?).

I am certain that we are all aware that right now we have nothing but time on our hands. Time to think and reflect. Time to dream and time to re-strategise and plan. As much as we are not going to go back to life as we know it after lock down my dreams and aspirations however have not changed but maybe...I mean definitely, my strategies to reach those dreams will have to change. I thought I should share with you guys some of my career dreams and goals.

"After a 40-year trek, the Israelites prepared to enter the land God promised. Joshua reassured the people with the words, “… do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (1:9). The path may seem confusing when we can’t see what’s ahead. But God will bring us to the place He promised, and He will be with us on the journey"_Joshua 1:9

First things first Sis needs to do what needs to be done with her phrase DOING THE DAMNZ, I am Sis. My plans and hopes for my podcast is for it to become one of the biggest podcast in South Africa and for it to monetize and for it take kids to school, buy girls toiletries and take homeless women off the streets. Have a home for them and equip them with resources that will help them better their lives.

I do not know what choices and decisions those women made that led them in the streets but everyone deserves a second even a third chance in life. With this podcast I want to show the work and greatness of God. He is a merciful God, the Lord of many chances and loving God.

Tey's diary will be known across oceans and will touch every kid's life. I will bring hope and inspiration. I will work with some of the my favorite brands. This blog will build both my homes, buy my first house and help me live the lifestyle I want for myself and for my family.

DTD will aired on South African television and you will see my cute face on your favorite magazine covers (Hey Forbes and Vogue!).

We all know that I am passionate about helping upcoming creatives and supporting small businesses therefor I am taking y'all to the top with me!

I want a lot. So I have to do a lot. A lot of praying, fasting, working, manifesting and consistency.

The world is my oyster. Ok I will confess that I am writing this post because I want to look back at this it and be proud of myself.

Don't be shy to share your dreams in the comments section below huns! <3

UNTIL NEXT TIME (tomorrow *wink*).

FRIENDSHIPS CAUSE THE MOST HEARTBREAK!

Hi Cakes! I trust you love are doing good good and keeping safe.

Today I went live on IG and spoke about friendships, lessons I've learnt, both good and bad. So I decided I should share with you guys some of those lessons as well.

I've had my share of toxic friendships, allowed toxic behaviors over and over again and I've been in spaces that I didn't feel comfortable in all because I didn't want to be the odd one out (which btw I couldn't hide no matter how hard I tried) or to miss out on creating memories with the group just because I wanted the kind of friendship(s) I had always imagined. With that being said, I've had the most amazing friendships too.

Do not get me wrong I am not trying to paint anyone on a bad light, everything that had transpired in those friendships was all because i allowed it to happen so if i have to blame someone, I will have to blame myself. I believe that you can not control people or their actions but you can control how you react to that, you can either give them control and be a victim or take responsibility of your life and emotions.

Yes people can be hurtful but sometimes they just cannot help it, hurt people hurt people and sometimes people just do not know how to love.

My Life Orientation teacher in high school used to say, "show me your friends, and i will tell you the kind of person you are", well.. that was never the case for me i was always different from my friends, they were extroverted I am an introvert, we had different perspectives about life and different interests ( does it sound like a disaster waiting to happen yet?). I am not ready yet to share the toxic events in that four years of friendship that took place and I do not know if I will ever share maybe that is because I just came to my senses or I am just embarrassed I allowed that.

I am the kind of person that always sees the good in people and I believe in second chances. I have a big heart for friendships, I love the idea of girls coming together to support, love, encourage,explore life, go on adventures, stay at home and talk about absolutely everything (or nothing) over a glass of wine , build each other and pray together. The idea of sisterhood.

Lessons learnt:

1. Never shrink yourself for someone else's comfort zone!- When you feel like you cannot be yourself or voice your opinion on something because they will think you are crazy or it will make that person uncomfortable, honey that person is not for you.

2. Choose your friends wisely - When it comes to relationships you do not date just anyone you have a type right? i am not talking about physical features or material things but characteristics that you want your partner to posses. Well that applies to friendships too."One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24. I want friends who are reliable, trust worthy, have my best interest at heart, care about my well-being, someone who is into what i am into or at least supportive. "As iron sharpens iron, one person sharpens one another"_Proverbs 27:17. "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harms"_Proverbs 13:20 NIV

3. Seek authenticity in your friendships - " Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses"_ Proverbs 27:6. Unfortunately we cannot say we fully know someone but along the line their true colors are revealed bit by bit therefor take note of those red flags and keep your distance. I too saw the red flags several times but i ignored them. Not everyone who calls you friend or smiles at your face wish you the best, some people are jealous and spiteful of you.

Those are the top 3 lessons that have learnt from those friendships. I am grateful for the experiences and lessons because they only made me stronger and wiser. Do not worry ya'll I do have a friend, a bestfriend who's been through thick and thin with me even during those friendships (lol she was really tired of me complaining about the same things over and over again).

"A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother"_Proverbs 18:24.

I am open to new friendships but I am a little more guarded now because I want genuine people in my life and authentic friendships and I am honestly not rushing into anything.

What has been the biggest lessons that you've learnt from friendships?
