I know a few loyal readers do follow on instagram where I'm more into stories but something that really got me thinking hmmmmm (insert the hand on chin emoji) maybe I do still have something of value to share here and even with such a long hiatus at least a few times a week I get some sweet collaboration offers all of which I have declined based on the fact that I felt can I still call myself a blogger or dare I say it"influencer" this word makes me cringe a bit. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Plus there is such a burning desire to find out what this new chapter will look like, fellow bloggers can relate to this you go back into the archives and like you just more evolved or there is moments you are like gees I forgot how much I enjoyed this hobby there is a lot of memories that is captured in this beautiful blog world.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>So with all that said , I look very forward to creating more content for you and me and thank you very much for visiting the blog today.</i></p>meghan silvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03984728876841340073noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527882307159437820.post-29366506553671124712020-02-03T08:59:00.003+02:002020-02-03T08:59:42.485+02:00Art is therapy<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm so thrilled to be sharing this fun collaboration. I have been saying for ages I wanted to brighten up my bedroom. I wanted a fresh new vibe to my very classic all white bedroom with nude accents. Finding the perfect pieces for such a sacred space is often daunting but with the awesome people of <a href="https://www.photowall.co.uk/" target="_blank">Photowall</a> its was easy peasy lemon squeezy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The process was nothing shy of seamless. The choices were endless, but the site filtered beautifully to what you were searching for whether it was countries, colour, posters, <a href="https://www.photowall.co.uk/wall-murals" target="_blank">wall murals</a>... all available in 48 hours delivered to the comfort of your home.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I chose the beautiful <a href="https://www.photowall.co.uk/posters" target="_blank">Santorini church</a>. It included the gorgeous crisp white aesthetic I adore but was vibrant enough to be very different and a breathe of fresh air. Putting it together took less than 30 minutes. With perfectly explained directions. Needless to say I highly recommend them to meet your decor needs.</div>

Raising a 2 year old I thought oh here Comes the terrible twos. Lucky me I only experienced it for a week before his birthday in Portugal. Three, now that has been one hell of a ride and I am only 1 month in, lets just say the key to three is patience. Lots and lots of patience. I have first handedly witnessed him take 3 episodes of Blippi to finish one bowl of corn flakes and when I checked the bowl he had only consumed the milk. If we were chatting on whatsapp right now Id be inserting the women emoji with her wtf hands followed by face palm emoji. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">

But with that said I have learnt a few things in general so I decided to share it here for mom to be's, mommas and well anyone else ;)<br>

Not only has it been ages but also a crazy hard decision to make regarding this little space of mine. My life is so different now so I myself am curious to see the evolution of content. I don't want to fit into the mom blog box, I feel I'd need a variety of topics to keep the creative juices flowing. So here we are, cleanish slate, different me perhaps even discovering the old me along the way.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been a long time anxiety sufferer. Anyone who has ever had anxiety or panic attacks know it feels like you about to die. Like not in a dramatic way, I mean it actually feels like you are suffocating to death. This is just a simple thing I do when I notice a panic attack approaching, its so soothing and pretty much always works. The simple yoga pose called child pose. The way I find it helps is starting with the basic child pose, cradling over your knees and slowly stretching forward. I find it opens my lungs and encourages me to breath deeply. Which is the main struggle for me when a panic attack arises.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I hope this short and sweet tip can help someone who suffers from anxiety and panic attacks. Because I know just how badly it sucks.</i></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Sometimes
we think with our hearts and not with our heads. Making New Year’s resolutions
can often be disastrous, with 80% of people failing by February or not even putting it in motion at all and regretting
it instantly. I have been there, done that on several occasions. One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to cut down on
spending, and although this sounds achievable, if you don’t have a
fully-pledged strategy in place, the likeliness of failure spirals out of
control. When I spoke about simplifying my life finances was a huge factor too.
The unnecessary expenditures had to come to a halt. But it already seemed so daunting but there are several small changes you can make that can create a lot more financial freedom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">I
understand that people can be victim to an unexpected expense — whether this is
a home appliance breaking , a sudden death, urgent travels, making that third trip on a bus with only a return
ticket. It all adds up. For that reason, I’ve made some assessments on how
those extra savings can come in handy if something like that was to occur. This
is such an important post and I hope you enjoy finding some solutions to some
financial hurdles. So to make it easier I will be breaking it down into groups
for you. </span></div>

It has been ages since I have done a favorites post/ round up, I have basically de-cluttered my life in heaps and bounds. So this will be an absolute favorites post. No muss or fuss, just the things that brings me joy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lets start with wellness:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Meditation</u></b> has been the ultimate addition in my life. I listen to quite a few but my absolute favorite is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9fgNInp0zI" target="_blank">this one</a>. The body scan method is pretty new to me and absolutely helps me stay in the actual moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The reflections app</b>. has been a great way to really narrow down the day, the highs, what you can improve on and so forth. It has made keeping a journal so much easier.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Fashion:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>

<b>Capsule wardrobes </b>have been something I am aiming to do with my obscenely cluttered closet. I'm speaking simply looking into keeping or purchasing the basics, like the perfect leather jacket to the maxi dress you can wear dressed up or down. By the way I am obsessing over this <a href="https://www.riverisland.com/p/black-leather-block-heel-heel-ankle-boots-714291" target="_blank">River Island ankle boots</a>, I have a similar pair that I bought in Belgium and they are my classic staple.</div>

At one point I had like my night stand over flowing with skin care products, oh the length I would go in to fight aging. These days I am simply into face wash and exfoliating followed by my current skin care favorite celltone tissue oil.</div>

As Matteo is getting older 17 months to be exact, I have found keeping him entertained is getting a little more tricky and even though pre- motherhood I was judge Judy about letting toddlers watch shows to keep them entertained I must confess I have become one of those moms. Don't get me wrong, we play outside, go for walks daily and keep the shows to a minimum but they do come in handy. His favorite is Noddy but it has to be Noddy in toy land. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span id="goog_1757136908"></span><span id="goog_1757136909"></span><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">So I must say by now I have traveled a fairly decent amount of time, not in a "<i>braggy"</i> way just a I know what traveling entails and how to survive it all. I mean I recently had an awesome international trip with a baby and didn't have a melt down. The general tips are be prepared with check lists. You do not wanna be frantically packing the night before a big trip and my second tip is one which comes in handy on long layovers and if you like me and have the occasional panic attack. MUSIC! MEDITATION ! SERIES! HEADPHONES!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">So you want to listen to music on a plane, or simply
drown out the noise around you? The right travel headphones will allow you to
achieve both of these feats. When shopping for <a href="http://www.dewired.co.uk/wirelessbluetooth-headphones-headsets/" target="_blank">new wireless headphones</a>, consider a few of these options to purchase.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><b><i>Bose</i> </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">The Quiet-Comfort series is a great option.
Over the ear design, cupped/padded for a comfortable fit, noise isolation (if
listening to music), and cancellation to block out the noise around you. Costly
– yes. But, well worth the investment if you travel often and desire quality,
comfort, and peace of mind. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">A German-brand delivers on quality, fit, and
comfort. Like Bose, they have an over the ear fit, and are fully padded, so
your ears won’t get numb or feel pain, even with hours of use. They feature
noise cancellation and isolation, bass control, and high-volume levels, so you
can block out noise. An over the head arc also has padding on the interior, to
keep you feeling comfortable, regardless of how long you wear the headphones. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><i><b>Beats Executive </b></i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">This is a third option to consider. Over the
ear design, fully padded, but only noise isolation (no full noise
cancellation). With this being said, you can sync with Bluetooth to answer
calls, hook up with a laptop to watch a movie, or simply block out the noise
around you. Comfortable, light, and fairly affordable, especially given the
high prices of most Beats headphones. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">For those who like to keep to themselves when
traveling, rather than listen to stories from the person sitting next to them,
travel headphones are a must. These are some of the top models and brands to
consider, if you are looking for quality, and a pair of headphones which are
built to last, so you can use them on several trips to come. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey babes,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I swear I feel like I haven't updated you guys on the BTS life in perhaps over 4 months. Its really been a great end of 2017 and start to 2018. <b><i>Matteo</i></b> walks now, like full on no wobbly man walking. His favorite thing to do though is run with his hands behind his back to see how far he can get before falling. (<i>utter nightmare for me, total happiness for him</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been loving setting <b><i>mini goals</i></b> first thing in the morning. Its basically the only way I have been able to get things done. Simple goals like <i>drink boiling water in the am</i>, <i>meditate for 5 minutes</i>, <i>get Matteo snacks</i> etc. Simple but effective.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The app <b><i>reflections</i></b> has been my favorite way to journal these days. It asks questions which prompts you to memorize the highs and special moments. So I have been incorporating more of that into my daily life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am still a <b><i>bit quiet on social media</i></b> 100% due to phone issues. Its possibly been the most socially boring months of my life ha!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will be <b><i>traveling to Porto</i></b> again to see the fam bam. We so excited. I am working on my self confidence so this time around there can actually be more pictures of me. I slowly came to realize there was basically 3 pictures of me in Portugal and 99% of them were candid shots or group pictures. Which is a huge sign of my lack of self confidence.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> I thinks that's all for now, but here's something for you what has been 1 awesome thing that's already happened this year?</i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US">If you have a hard time falling
asleep, or if you have a hard time getting back to sleep after waking up at
night you might be looking for solutions to improve sleep patterns. These are
some things you can attempt, if you have troubles sleeping, or staying asleep
at night. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US">Routine – <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US">You can’t go to bed at 10 PM for two
nights, then 7 PM the next, and 2 AM a few nights later. Your body won’t get
used to it. Choose a bedtime, stick to it (as closely as possible) and make it
routine. Even on the weekends! The more you keep a pattern, the easier your
body will adjust, and will “know” when it should be asleep. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US">Sunrise clocks – <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Sunrise alarm clocks are a great option as well. They help set
ambient lighting in a room, they wake you up slowly (mimic the sunrise), and
thus make the whole waking up process much smoother. You can set soothing
sounds, alarms, and other settings, for your specific needs. Click here for
more information on </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.sunriseclocks.co.uk/" target="_blank">wake up alarm clocks</a>.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US">Dark – <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US">Keep the room dark. A TV in the room,
open blinds, or even light seeping in under a door crack, can impact your
sleep. So, the darker you can keep it, and the less light you have infiltrating
into the room, the easier it is going to be for you to fall, and to stay asleep
at night. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US">In the event you suffer from a
chronic or sleep condition, it is possible medication may be an option. So,
consider discussing this with your doctor as well, to discuss the possibility
of different medications or devices for sleep. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US">Regardless of what is causing sleep
disturbances, a few simple changes can help improve length and quality of
sleep. These are some things to try, if you are having a hard time falling,
staying asleep, or both. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

you, you’ll naturally want to look your best. <a href="https://www.quizclothing.co.uk/clothes/dresses/">Dresses</a> retailer
QUIZ has news for you — finding the perfect look doesn’t have to take hours!
Here, QUIZ explains the trick to looking effortlessly stylish this season:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Must-have Knitwear<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The weather means we’re rarely seen without
our trusty knits! This season, it’s all about cableknit, stripes and oversized
jumpers. Having some staple knitwear pieces in your wardrobe is essential for
the colder months and can keep your outfits on fleek. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Statement knit #1: the jumper dress<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">With their relaxed look and cosy feel, jumper
dresses are the perfect pairing with chunky tights for colder days. There is no
time wasted choosing matching garments and with long, knitted sleeves, there’s
no need to scour your closet for a complementing coat either. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">You can dress your look up too with a pair
of heeled over-the-knee boots, perfect for day-to-evening glamour. If you’re in
the mood to show off your curves, wrap a chunky belt around your dress to nip
your waist in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Statement knit #2: turtle necks<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Layer you knits for an effortlessly cool
look this season. Layering is pretty self-explanatory and is achieved by
wearing a polo neck underneath a square-necked top or dress. Couple with your
favourite pair of jeans and an ankle boot to fully master the look. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">You can even take your layered look to the
office too. A blazer and turtle neck combo is the perfect choice for a more
formal look.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Ankle boots<o:p></o:p></span></h2>

can be surprised!? They’re effortlessly stylish, super comfortable and oh-so
on-trend. Sock boots are huge this season. They feature a pointed toe, high
heel and textured fabric that fits to the ankle. They are pull-on for extra
ease and can be paired with jeans during the day time and a stylish skirt for a
night on the town. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">If you’re struggling with colours, stick to
black — they’ll go with almost anything. Choose a pair with a chunky heel so
that they’re suitable for day and night time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">This season, it’s all about statement
earrings. Tassels, chunky metal and huge hoops (yep, they’re still on trend)
are all acceptable this autumn/winter and can be matched with most outfits.
Choose a black or gold pair and keep them in your bag to slip in for after-work

<span lang="EN-GB">Luggage wise, choose small, leather bags or

ideal option to go for if you’re hoping to use it every day; buy one with a cute

as red or gold and buy matching shoes – pair with jeans and a dressy top for a

Hi my loves,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy 2018!!! I thoroughly enjoyed my blog and social media hiatus. I started having major anxiety about the whole thing. I am a true believer that breaks of all kinds, mental, vacations or simple changes can renew ones spirit. That's exactly what I needed. If you a long time reader you will know I became mom and I was trying to balance life in all its glory. But motherhood is not for the fainthearted and it really threw me off my game. Weight gain, lack of general oomph to name a few. But I am thrilled to let you know I made it through the funk. I feel renewed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Hope your year has started on a happy note.<br />

Which is what inspired this post. Not to mention that I will be off to Portugal soon and am doing tons of research. The type A planner in me is in list making heaven. </span></div>

Roma football match? At the grand Stadio Olimpico, you can buy a ticket for €100 (£88.02) ZAR 1683.45 . Just make sure you’re both football fans before you go, as it’ll be slightly awkward if one of you is bored when surrounded by screaming fans… </span></div>

Once you’re done, you could take a stroll to one of the many cafes nearby so that you can sit and people watch to your heart’s content. </span></div>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt; text-align: justify;">

In Rome, you can expect to pay €21 (£18.48) ZAR 353,52 for your taxi and €57 (£50.17) ZAR 959,56 for your meal for two in one of Rome’s fine restaurants. To top it all off, you can spend €17 (£14.96) ZAR 286,19 on two cinema tickets. </span></div>

If you want to enjoy this city properly, then you’ll need to know where to go. When it comes to dates in this city, the world really is your oyster. </span></div>

At £50 ZAR 841,72 per person, you and your date could enjoy tea, scones and sandwiches at the prestigious Claridge’s Hotel, in Mayfair. If you are both enjoying the pleasures of luxury, then why not book a superior queen room at £690 ZAR 11615,78 a night?</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

Once you’re bored of the museum's, head over to Westminster Bridge to see Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. This also isn’t too far from the Southbank, where you can pick up some delicious street food or take in the great views all around you. </span></div>

If you’re not on the guest-list, then why not take your date to the cinema for £23 / ZAR387,19 ? If you get hungry, you can always get a meal including wine and dessert for £66 / ZAR 1111,07. Don’t forget to hit the bars on your way out, where a pint will typically set you back £4.41, and a cocktail will cost £9 / ZAR 151,51 – not bad when you’re living it up in the capital!</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

Tourists come from far and wide to have a great time with their significant other, and this could be you too. Home to many of the world’s greatest writers and artists, Paris oozes chic everywhere you walk through its many streets. </span></div>

On this day, why not try booking in at 58 Tour Eiffel? It’ll cost you around €120 (£105.63) / ZAR 2020,14 for each person, however, if you’d like a seat in the window to witness the spectacular views, then you can pay the extra €30 (£26.41) / ZAR 505,03 to really take your romance to dizzying heights!</span></div>

As a symbol of their love for one another, many Parisians use padlocks and lock them to the Pont des Arts Bridge, throwing away the key into the water. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

Be warned though, as Paris officials are urging couples to stop so that the bridges can be protected; instead, why not take the lock home as a reminder of that great date you had together. I literally brought home a whole box of souvenirs.</span></div>

There, a meal for two including wine and dessert will typically cost around €65 (£57.21 ) / ZAR 1094,24 . Afterwards, if you head over to the cinema, it’ll cost you €20 (£17.60) / ZAR 336,69.</span></div>

The big apple offers something for everyone- - with the theatres of Broadway, the neon-lit Times Square and skyscrapers like the Empire State Building, the possibilities really are endless. </span></div>

A private helicopter tour of New York’s famous landmarks will set you back around $1,500 (£1,184.40) / ZAR 25251,70 , so you’ll need to get saving if this sounds like the perfect date for you! With unparalleled views of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Central Park though, this is the perfect date to get your heart’s racing. Hold on tight!</span></div>

Perhaps a meal would complement this date nicely? Including wine and dessert, you can expect a meal for two to cost you $111 (£87.66) / ZAR 1868,63. After that, the two of you could paint the town red in some of Manhattan’s best rooftop bars. A cocktail will likely cost $14 (£11.06) / ZAR 235,68 and a pint of lager around $7 (£5.53) / ZAR 117,84. Enjoy!</span></div>

If you a long time reader you know exactly where I started from, a 27 year old dreaming of Paris and living for the moment. My life was free and I was on a determined to live a balanced life, 5 years later in the core I am still the same (hopefully better) lady. But I have lived a whole lot more. I traveled quite a lot. I became a mom and am still figuring it all out. So this leaves me to question where are my readers in their life and who are they? are they new moms like me? travelling the world? full time bloggers ? desiring to be full time bloggers? social media influencers?. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So with me trying to dedicate more time consistently to this little gem of mine with that comes knowing exactly who I am writing for, what topics you would enjoy and just who you are in general. It would mean the absolute world if you would take 5 minutes to simply answer a few questions for me. </div>

<u><br></u></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
So I absolutely love breast feeding but my first few weeks were not all that easy. Breastfeeding was pretty hard for me. From not having a milk supply to the sore cracked and painful nipples that occurred for weeks after. But once I got into it and had moved passed the first few weeks I was in heaven. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
I was the crazy lady pumping and freezer stacking. I was all in. Since then I have been taking it a bit easier. So before I officially stop breastfeeding I decided let me share my absolute top tips with you.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
My first tip is so so crucial, don't stress about not having a milk supply immediately. Its not a sure sign you will never have milk. I was one of those moms who had like zero milk for days post birth. I was given the option to receive an injection to help me produce milk (I can't even remember what it was) but 3/4 days later and I was on my way. So assuming you a breastfeeding mom these are some of my top tips for a blissful breastfeeding journey.</div>

Hellooooo beauties</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know its been a crazy minute but I have been trying to slowly integrate things I love doing back into my life. My plate has just been pretty full and instead of trying to do everything at once and failing miserably at everything, I decided its more logical to incorporate one thing at a time into my daily to do list. Am I making any sense?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally I feel like now I can actually dedicate my time to blogging on a regular basis without it interfering with anything else or feeling like i'm totally failing my blog. Interfere sounds pretty messed up but I don't mean it in a bad way. You guys know I love this little space and if you didn't know that well let me tell this blog is my happy space and I FREAKEN LOVE IT.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what the heck have I been up to?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started intermittent fasting, which I hope will help in my weight loss journey. I have been doing it for a month now and in all honesty its such an easy lifestyle change. I have not yet weighed myself but I might get on the scale today. #sobadassofme</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been focused on HIIT workout but now I am actually about to start 30 day Shred (let me know if you have ever tried it) my bff raved about it over the weekend and I was like <i>dudette let me give it a go.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will be going to Portugal soon and cannot wait! It will be Matteo's first holiday and even though I am pretty much dreading the flight with a baby I am excited for this experience. (Any travelling with a 10 month old tips are <i>soooo</i> welcomed.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I went a month without ANY heat on my hair, a whole month you guys! my hair has grown and is so extremely healthy now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I created a new vision board which is keeping me LASER focused on my goals, whether its my long term goals or ones I want to focus my full attention on immediately. Along with that I have been doing some more studying up regarding the law of attraction. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Look forward to my breast feeding tips which will be live on Wednesday 9 am SAST</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Till then</i></div>

So witch hazel has been a part of my bathroom cabinet for ages, but whenever I tell anyone how awesome it is they like what on earth is witch hazel. It sounds terrifying.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
No its not brewed by a witch, its actually one of natures best healing agents. Its made from the witch-hazel shrub and is one powerful astringent. I swear I've seen acne disappear in a week, cuts healed super fast and that's just to mention <u>a</u> few. One might even say its got some magic powers (<i>or maybe that's just me</i>).<br>

You guys has these last one and a half weeks has been so crazy. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
I literally was so swollen like a chipmunk running up and down to the dentist on different antibiotics. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
Finally hallelujah the swelling subsided and everything was sorted out this Friday. I mean the agony of toothache is just another kind of pain. But honestly one total positive is how much it has shone a light on being thankful for being healthy. Like just the simple ability to have a healthy mouth to eat and drink whatever you want. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
I swear I literally started feeling like I have to be more thankful on days I feel good. Its like that was Gods message to me. Have you ever felt that way?</div>

If you have been a long time reader you know how much I live for beauty D.I.Y.S.<br>
<br>
The more I can understand what I am putting on my body and skin the better. I have literally been a guinea pig for this blog. My parents always laugh and say my word you seriously will try anything (<i>as I a walk around with turmeric on my face and brightly yellow stained turmeric teeth)</i>. As I have said before i LIVE for a good natural beauty alternative and when it actually delivers on some good results I rejoice like I have won the lotto. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There has been many and I mean many disappointments but omg the good one's have really changed the beauty game for me.<br>
<br>
One thing I always get compliments about is my skin but as we all know it takes a generous amount of effort to get the right regime going. Which is why I love a beauty d.i.y. it can be custom made to your skin, hair and body needs. My current skincare regime involves face dry brushing, a d.i.y. skin toner, grape seed oil,a anti marks drugstore cream and the occasional face mask its simple and works for me. As you can tell its pretty much 80% natural for me right now. I am currently craving something more powerful for my ever increasing wrinkles but for now that's what I have found to work. </div>

There is something about holidays that doesn't make Matteo so happy. It might be the busyness or just whatever's in the air but Matty was not a happy camper this weekend. His mood happened to change when my parents showed up with Easter eggs though. We didn't do much for Easter besides eating tons of pickle fish and having way to many Easter eggs. It was great catching up with my siblings because they are always working 12 hours a day or more. Other than that here is a few updates of the past week.</div>

I have been finding myself totally addicted to being on my phone, basically living vicariously through Instagram and YouTube. It eventually dawned on me that I wasn't actually present in my actual life. I wasn't achieving my goals at a pace I really needed to. So I basically started a weekend phone off promise to myself.Starting this past weekend.</div>
