GIRL ABOUT LIFE BLOG

The new year always brings about that sweet feeling of a do over, a renewed hope, the opportunity to rebrand and I love that feeling. It never lasts long enough. This year is quite different. It is the 8th of February and I am still hopeful, I am still optimistic and I am still excited for this year. The year 2018, the year that I promised myself to make up for 2017.

I have finally given birth. By the 9th month it feels like you have been pregnant forever hence the use of FINALLY. My daughter (yes it's a girl) is going to be 2 weeks tomorrow. Some of you may have not known about my pregnancy since I did not mention it here. It was such a confusing/ amazing journey. I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I was pregnant for a whole 9 months and I am now a mother to a beautiful, most adorable baby. It feels so surreal to be honest, sometimes I really struggle with the reality of it all along side the struggles of raising a little one. I mean babies cry, they cry  A LOT lol and sometimes you don't know why they crying so it's really frustrating. I am really blessed for the support that I have in terms of family. I don't know how we would be navigating this journey without them. I am really looking forward to seeing her grow and mature. Little humans are truly a blessing, they just kinda shift your perspective on life.

I am currently on maternity leave. I will be moving to Mpumalanga in a couple of months. When people asked me last year where I wanted to do my community service I always said Witbank followed with a "Don't ask me why I just feel like it is where I need to be". I am starting to regret it a little because there is so much drama around my post and it's really annoying. I have faith that God will handle it though. I am just leaving everything to Him now because I have done all I could. I am just going to take this time and enjoy my daughter, read a lot, set my intentions for this new year and carry on with this positive light that I have in my heart right now

I don't really know what this post is about. I didn't quite think about it, I just took out my laptop and started typing.
ANYWAY

I hope you guys are having a fabulous new year.

LOL fun fact about these pictures, the man that owns this carriage thing (I think they are called Rickshaw ride) offered to have me sit on his to take pictures. After being up there for about 2 seconds the guy started jumping and moving with the thing I was so terrified. I haven't been in any of these things so it was quite scary.

 

I did however manage to put this look together. I have always been about comfort and this look offers me a whole lot of that. I love the shirt dress. I love the material, the colour and the texture. It feels like what I imagine satin and silk together would feel like. I have never in my life owned a pair of knee high boots and I was literally eyeing these babies for a while now and the 75% woolworths sale gave me enough reason to finally get them. I think I should have a gotten a size 4 though because they are a bit tight by the calves but i'ts fine, besides with sale items you rarely get your size so you have have to compromise a little.

After trying out a couple of shoes with the dress I finally settled on the boots.
