Since my motherhood journey began in 2023, I wasn't surprised that some of my creative endeavours would slow down or move quietly to the side. But they were still there. Like seeds I’d planted in my head… small, sacred thing… waiting in the soil of my mind. I nurtured them

Why I Didn’t Tell My Daughter Makeup Makes You Pretty 💄 Yesterday, as I was getting ready for an event, my toddler watched me closely for the first time. Her eyes followed every brushstroke, every dab of powder, and then she asked, “What’s that?” I smiled and said, “It’s

Let me tell you a secret: I used to HATE networking 😣 The sometimes-awkward introvert in me dreaded it. Walking into a room full of confident people who seemed to know exactly what to say, how to say it, and who to say it to? No thanks. I’d overthink everything 😅🙂 from how I

I feel like I should add full-time hypeman (or should I say hypewoman) to my CV. When you’ve got a toddler, you're basically a full-time hype squad. "Yaaay you brushed your teeth!" "Woohooo let's put our shoes on!" "Superhero bath ready!" 🦸🏽‍♀️ All day, it’s energy, joy,

It’s been an interesting week 💛 The kind of week where the heat clings to your skin and everything feels a little too loud, a little too hazy. Sleepy-eyed mornings. Sluggish afternoons. And somewhere in the middle of it all, something unexpected - an incredible opportunity
