01 March 2021:
]I've been blogging for a while and I really enjoy it, however the ideas and everything in between have stopped flowing and other than than forcing things for another post and like, I've decided to take a break and will let you know in time when I decide to come back,... burnt out... probably.
Update:
01 November 2021
Well I didn't think the break will be this long, but growing up comes with growing pains and this year I've been going through them, there is just a major need to sort out my life and deal with things that need me to put on my adulting coat and cap.
All is well just finessing a few things... In a voice of the terminator (I WILL BE BACK)

SERUMS THAT YOU NEED TO ADD TO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE
Soweto, South Africa

| Bramley Serum Avon Serum Justine Serum Nivea Serum |
Hey guys, I've been using/testing out the above serums and
I must say that I have been enjoying using them.
Two bottles are empty though that is the ANEW by Avon & A-firm by Justine
I have been saving them for an empties video but I thought that a written blogpost
would do for now since I'm figuring out my channel direction.
The following serums have been featured on the blog before and thought that
I should do a quick refresher, because I did enjoy using them.

January for me was a month where I just needed to reflect (like the
last 10 months weren't enough for reflecting), but with the high number
of Covid cases rising and death on death on death it has been a horrible month.
January is also my birthday month soo hello panic attack again of
being triggered by everything I haven't achieved in the past year.
Which is a horrible thing but I can't help with whats happening in my head most of our times
and most people count failures than victories and I'm one of those.
January was spent with consuming content other than creating and most
of the days I felt horrible because I wasn't working on creating content
and others I was okay because I had a horrible burn-out and thinking about make-up was just not it.
Thank you January for allowing me to have a time to myself.
Now Back To Business

| Dried Chickpeas And Couscous Salad |
Hey guy, hope all is well.
It's been a while since I posted
(Is it me or sharing food posts during the peak rona period was
just something else),
2020 has been a very hectic but no worries I'm back.
On today's blog post I will be doing a Chickpea and Couscous Salad.
What I love about this salad is that you can
have it hot or cold and even substitute the ingredients with your own favorites.
I like to also add some add some
seasonal fruits and vegetables (really whatever you like mostly goes here).
In addition you can add some nuts and seeds to give it that nutty and crunchy texture,
you can have it as a salad or a side dish and it is really nutritious.
