I feel that a lot of people have been experiencing symptoms of burnout. No motivation, exhaustion, insomnia, anxiety being amplified, emotionally overwhelmed and being easily triggered. It’s honestly really tough, it’s been a year since COVID came into our lives and I don’t think we thought we’d be in this predicament we’re in right now. …
How to get out of a slump from staying at home
Last year was tough on everyone and the virus hasn’t disappeared over night so many people are still faced with lockdown and being at home all day every day.

To tan or not to tan
We often underestimate the sun’s capabilities but I think everyone needs to get involved in protecting themselves. More and more people each day are becoming aware of taking care of one’s skin.

Make-up buys I want to purchase in 2021

A little life update
I was meant to leave to London on Monday, four days away but the UK has closed its borders to South Africa. I’m honestly really disappointed, I’ve been looking forward to this for months and have been counting down the days. I don’t even know when I’m going now. I know it’s Christmas today, so …
