WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT? I have been f WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT? I have been feeling the need to TALK about lifestyle challenges that often make life hard for women - especially those of us who have decided to be working moms, mompreneurs and side hustlers. I will soon be hosting interviews via my blog and would LOVE to know what the challenges are that you are facing and what you would like to talk about or what you would like advice on... Please comment with some topics below... whether it's staying fit while trying to keep all the balls in the air; feeling pretty while trying to earn more pennies, figuring out why your 3-year-old's not sleeping while your emotional tank is running low; finding inspiration in a world where people are tired and demotivated... Anything, really! As women, as moms, as working moms we need to support each other and that's what this is all about. What would you like to talk about? #talk #inspiration #inspirationaltalks #mompreneur #entrepreneur #mom #hustle #workingmom 📷 @hanneritakesportraits 💄 @eve.image 👗 @milkandhoneysa

I don't know how long we're still going to have to I don't know how long we're still going to have to wear masks, but if you're looking for an alternative that is comfortable and breathable at the same time, MILKANDHONEY's got some really great ones (in various colours and textures). I also love the fact that they go around your ears and not your head, as I always find it frustrating to have to tie the mask and readjust it every time. And, as an added bonus, these masks are also pretty classy and fashionable! 👗 @milkandhoneysa 📷 @hanneritakesportraits 💄 @eve.image #fashionista #fashion #beauty #stylish #outfitinspiration #outfits #ootd #outfitoftheday #blogger #influencer #onlineshopping #ootdfashion #fashiongram #instafashion #southafrica
Just finished a freelance article about the top 10 Just finished a freelance article about the top 10 South African cabins to escape to. If you want to read it, DM me with your email address and I will send you the link once it's published. After a lot of research, the Pinetree Cabin at @protea_farm is at the top of my bucket list. Especially for a snowy winter weekend in the Koo Valley. Do you have a favourite cabin you like to escape to for some digital detox?

TAG A MOM WHO NEEDS SOME LOVE Seeing that Mother' TAG A MOM WHO NEEDS SOME LOVE Seeing that Mother's Day is around the corner, I would like to say that I get you, mama! And I would love it if you could share this love with other mamas who might need to hear that they are not alone by tagging them. I get that you often feel overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done. I get that you sometimes feel guilty about wanting some alone time (even if it's just a 20-minute bath without a toddler trying to wash your hair). I get that you often miss having more time with your husband. I get that being a mom is not always easy and that when you are a working mom, the challenges and the mom guilt can often be too much. I get that you sometimes feel alone, even when you have a support system in place. The struggle is real, but motherhood is a blessing and we as mothers need to remind each other of the privilege we've been granted to have children. And, we need to support each other, instead of blaming, mom shaming and making each other feel guilty. #mom #momshaming #momblogger #mompreneur #momproblems #mamablogger #mama #motherhood #momguilt #kids #mothersday #momlife #momsofinstagram #momswhoblog #thenightowlclub
