The perfect pamper session

Women from every part of the globe with our own individual loves and loathes can agree a good pamper session whether at home or at a spa is swoon worthy. Nothing makes you feel more self love than taking time to care for yourself. For me that entitles the following...

Peace and tranquility

For those who aren't aware I am currently on holiday in Durban. There is always something so serene about being here, must have something to do with Ocean I tell you. Luckily for me most of my friends have a pretty flexible life here which means we can meet up for spur of the moment brunch hookups and end off someday's with cocktails overlooking the gorgeous beach. Literally how blessed am I? I haven't even been here for a lengthy period of time and I already feel refreshed, renewed and reignited. I'll be honest the weather hasn't been the best but, does it even matter?

Licence to indulge

Have you ever noticed how guilty one feels if you indulge in something that brings you joy, yet if we communicate our desires its always "I want to live a happy life". Happiness is doing something that brings us joy and we all are so unique that our happiness can never be compared or measured. We can search for happiness, have people who seem filled with happiness who we admire. But what I have come to realize for me it isn't the "what" that I desire, I admire their freedom to selfishly, proudly and unapologetic-ally indulge in whatever brings them joy.

Essence Cleansing Mask

This is not quite a review, its more of a "I need to share this with my ladies" kind of post. I can't get enough of this mask. It doesn't need to be kept on for long, its heats up and your face just feels amazing. I got this special treat from Charlene and I just have to say a huge thank you! Because honey this mask is goooooood and I just had to share this with you guys.

Preserve your pride

This post was inspired by one question one of my favorite youtube guru's and her boyfriend answered on relationships. Lets start this by saying women should preserve their pride when it comes to dating and life in general. Let me just say had this post been written before my 2 year hiatus from dating it would of been so different. I was bouncing from one long relationship to another with the constant feeling that I wasn't complete if I wasn't in a "healthy" relationship so I'd waste tons of times with guys who really I should have dumped a year before the actual breakup.

Oh so heavenly

Many moons ago my bestie gave me my first pedicure/foot spa treatment and since that day I have been addicted. Not only to receiving this very special treatment but also giving it to people I feel deserve it. Recently I decided to spoil the bf and give him a nice foot treatment using Oh so heavenly foot spa trio. He seemed pretty weirded out at first but eventually seemed to enjoy it. Question to any male readers out there.. why are men so odd when it comes to their own feet??

Motivational Mondays

So I had a pretty roller coaster weekend, the highlights would be watching the movie Gravity, attending a epic Halloween party and ending it with nice quality time with Bart. Now the whole reason I have added this kind of series to my blog is because Monday's could always use some sparkle in my opinion and what better way to start off the week with an awesome affirmation. 

This Mondays Affirmation is :

Anything I want to achieve this week, I CAN and WILL achieve!

What did you get up to this weekend?

Note to my sweet readers.

Hi lovelies so I know for like a month or two maybe even longer I have been really inconsistent when it comes to blogging and with the topics and I just want to say thank you for still supporting this little space of mine. I am really relieved and pretty darn proud to say I am finally back on track. Ready to go full steam ahead. I really hope you like the new content which is to come. This is just one huge THANK YOU to everyone who has been commenting, reading and supporting me. If it wasn't for you guys I don't think I would be so smitten with blogging as I am.

Be sure to check back in on Monday for a new post.

Love & Light

Meg
