Manicure Monday – Dealing With Grief Quotes
Hey guyzies, OMG I don't remember the last time I did a proper manicure and lately I have
not been loving nailpolish as it cracks during the week and I don't have time to
be re-applying it.
Then there is gel which would require me to take sometime off
(during a Saturday and Sunday to have it
applied and I just don't have the time). Yeap being a mom has taken soo much of my time and
I'm really still trying to adjust but it's soo hard to squeeze in some me time.
As I type this out on a Sunday my baby Asanda is having her afternoon nap and I thought I should add some content for Monday's post.
Anywho this post is just to say OMG press on's for me have been the IT,
I have been buying them at Clicks have been skeptical however they proved me wrong, especially the
short ones, don't sleep on them guys.
Anywho, here's to a great week.

Good morning, I hope your Saturday is off to a great start, I
wanted to interrupt regular programing to bring to you a life event that occurred
last week Sunday around midnight when I actually thought I was dying.
So midnight all I heard around my chest area was a huge (guuuu
sound) and then I had a major sharp pain. I couldn’t scream nor do anything and
on my right hand side was my baby Asanda and I just began praying and crying.
Went to the kitchen drank some water and still the pain would not
let go. I laid there in the dark wondering what this huge pain was and fell
asleep (as I type this I'm like yeah right Zanele sleeping while your dying must be nice). As I woke up in the morning to go to work the pain was just too much to
bare so I went to the doctor.
I get to the doctor and the first thing that she asked me was “how
old was I?” and replied 29 as I continued to tell the doctor about this huge pain and
she laughed it off slightly and said that was a PANIC ATTACK, me no why, never.
So as I write this now I know what triggered the panic attack that
Sunday and it was news from a very close person in my life that brought me pain
last year and I guess I haven’t yet healed from that situation and this situation will take me time to heal.
3 Things I Take Away From My First Panic Attack
1. Identify the trigger (why did I go to bed
feeling hurt to the point that my body and brain were still in shock from the
situation)
2. Don’t
take it personally (because these news triggered me then my day was ruined and couldn’t function anymore, situation has occurred and there is
nothing I can do about it.
3. Being More Self-aware (I’m glad that I
actually identified the actual trigger of the situation and next time will handle
my mini attack a bit better).
In coming weeks will go more in self-awareness because
it has to
deal with growth of the mind, because this year we
are not only growing in years but mentally as well.
See you soon

Let’s Talk...

THE BAD
July is such a bad month for me as a lot of my loved ones
passed on during this month, so most of the time (should I have a job at that
particular moment I choose to be on leave and just take time to bond with
family and friends). This July was not very easy for me as well, cause someone
very close to me lost a parent so yet again we had to grieve and I just
decided to spend every moment at home close to the people that I love.
THE UGLY
The sad part really is I haven’t been creating content for
the blog and everywhere else, and when companies send me stuff I’m not really
keen on taking out my camera and snapping about the goodies that I have
received on that particular day and (this act might have blacklisted me from a
few companies “””side note”””” I saw the unfollowing’s on social ***wink***. The ugly also is that I wasn’t able to attend
some events that I really did want to go to and then again most probably on the
blacklist now.
THE GOOD
As you read this it will be my last day today from my 9-5
due to some unfortunate circumstances that were beyond everyone’s control and
I think that the universe is speaking to me to actually focus on writing and
creating content (while searching for another job – wish me luck guys),
although it will be difficult for me to blog and create content for YouTube
(cause blogging and YouTubing is so expensive), I’m letting it all out there
and will be doing it either way.
THE DUMB
I have been stalking some Instagram/YouTube pages while I
was off and dammmn I think that I need a theme for my page aswell, and a blurry
background for YouTube (**sulking**), PUN is intended on my statement but I have seen that
companies do gravitate more toward pages that are themed but where is the fun
in seeing pictures that are brown and black, what happened to individuality?!
THE DUMBER
Speaking of Instagram its algorithms are just something
else, so I need to sponsor every post now for me to be able to get the
people that follow me to see it *right*. I used to be part of the like4like,
follow4follow crews and I’m not ashamed to say that and that’s how I got to the
follow count that I’m at today, but I’m getting tired of the follow4follow game
(so this weekend I worked on minimizing my following count so that I can
actually see post from brands, “”although that might be depressing at times but
I need to so that I can create posts that are relevant for that particular time””.)
I will also be sponsoring some posts on Instagram cause I need likes and
all LOL and Instagram you are killing me, but a girl has got to do what she needs to do.
CONCLUSION
This post really was not to make you sad I just wanted to
let it all out there so that when I do blog soon you will see that I do
actually care for my blog. The family is okay, we just have to learn to deal
with the pain and treat each day as if it was our last.
Thanks for making it this far and thank you so much for the
LOVE
.
See You Soon
xoxo

Manicure Mondays | Welcome Back & Let’s Talk
Hello guys, hope everyone has been great and okay, even if
this post is a day late I really wanted
to have it out either way. One thing that I love more than a
full coverage foundation, more than a full coverage concealer that does not
require setting (lol maybe I'm dreaming here on the require no setting part but
I hope you get me), I love having my nails done at home on a Sunday chilling
with the fam. I tried the acrylic thing
a few months back and I'm like no more no thanks. I'm glad that my nails are
back to their robustness again,
Well it's Manicure Monday girls and it is time for us to
catch-up.
I love blogging as a hobby but let's face it these days
companies have seen
how much influence we do have and that
is great because we can turn our hobbies into something that
will bring us some pocket money and hey sometimes we can start making a living cause whether we like or not blogging
is expensive.
You need High Quality Pictures - You need a camera or phone
that will take such and that is expensive
You need the latest foundation - You will need to buy it
which is expensive
You need to get your post out there - We you will need to
promote it honey, and promotions cost money cause lets face it, Instagram
alga-fu***n-rhythms are just messing us up, and hashtags are just hashtags
lately.
Blogging has become a bit challenging, because we now live
in the Age of the "Influencer".... this will be our topic next week.
What's your take on the business side of blogging?
See you soon.

Manicure Monday – Dealing With Grief Quotes
 |
| Manicure Monday – Dealing With Grief Quotes |
Ooh gosh, I don’t know how to start this but here I go….
Someone really close to me lost someone they love. Having dealt with such in a lot of occasions these past couple of years!!! I thought that I should share some of the quotes that helped me.
“Without you in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul. I find myself searching the crowds for your face - I know it's an impossibility, but I cannot help myself.”
― Nicholas Sparks, Message In A Bottle
“They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
“It sucks that we miss people like that. You think you've accepted that someone is out of your life, that you've grieved and it's over, and then bam. One little thing, and you feel like you've lost that person all over again.”
― Rachel Hawkins, Demonglass
“You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
“Grief can destroy you --or focus you. You can decide a relationship was all for nothing if it had to end in death, and you alone. OR you can realize that every moment of it had more meaning than you dared to recognize at the time, so much meaning it scared you, so you just lived, just took for granted the love and laughter of each day, and didn't allow yourself to consider the sacredness of it. But when it's over and you're alone, you begin to see that it wasn't just a movie and a dinner together, not just watching sunsets together, not just scrubbing a floor or washing dishes together or worrying over a high electric bill. It was everything, it was the why of life, every event and precious moment of it. The answer to the mystery of existence is the love you shared sometimes so imperfectly, and when the loss wakes you to the deeper beauty of it, to the sanctity of it, you can't get off your knees for a long time, you're driven to your knees not by the weight of the loss but by gratitude for what preceded the loss. And the ache is always there, but one day not the emptiness, because to nurture the emptiness, to take solace in it, is to disrespect the gift of life.”
― Dean Koontz, Odd Hours
