Check Yourself (talk), Before You Wreck Yourself

When we are young we hear so many voices, noises and receive so many opinions and messages about life, the way the world works and even about ourselves; the way we look, what we are capable of and who we are. In psychology that inner dialogue is referred to as self talk. Self talk encompasses the way we talk to ourselves and influences our beliefs about ourselves, self—esteem And our abilities. If you suffer from low self esteem or lack confidence, the chances that you grew u

Healing Yourself

As we journey though life we acquire many experiences, some are euphoric, others destructive and traumatic. What tends to happen is that we start accumulating all our hurt, pain and trauma and tie it to ourselves adding up to broken beings. We become bitter, our childlike sense of wonder turns to willful ignorance, our playfulness turns to pride, our innocence becomes tainted and stained to the point where we’ve grown up doubtful, self-destructive and toxic. We have very lit

An Empaths Self-Drag

I’ve always been head over heels for esoteric, mystical, witchy, super spiritual and philosophical phenomena. Ever since I was a little girl and I started getting ‘tip-offs’ from the other side about a pending death in the family and could tell when something bad was about to happen and being sensitive to other peoples moods and energies. Taking all this into consideration, you can imagine just how enthrawlled I was when I first hear the term empath, which is used to describe

2018 Gratitude List

Gratitude is the sense of appreciation and thankfulness that we experience when we take time and allow ourselves to notice all the beauty, goodness and joy in our lives.

DIY Spa Day

I've been taking such great care of myself lately, more than ever before. My self-care has extended to nourishing my soul, awakening my mind and pampering my body. Life can be so demanding and stressful and finding balance between being a mother, working in my private practice, running a yoga business and doing a full time Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, has been the challenge of a lifetime. Which is exactly why self-care has been my top priority. Not only does it help

My Self-Care Bath Ritual

Self-care is more than just a practice, it is a lifestyle; which is why I think it’s so important to incorporate your self-care practices into ordinary routine such as taking a bath. I usually take a shower because it’s faster and saves more water but every Sunday I love to indulge in a luxurious long bath. I refer to my Sunday bath ritual as a Beauty Bath because that’s exactly how I feel after pampering and spoiling myself during; I feel beautiful, clean, soft, warm, cared

5 Reasons Why I Journal

As a young girl and well into my teens I always kept diaries, most of them were cute and pink and so aesthetically pleasing. I still have most of them and they contain just about everything that I had ever been through. My diary was always my safe haven, my confidant and my peace; a friend that would and could not divulge any of my secrets, thoughts and feelings and that brought me so much joy. Somewhere along the line I stopped keeping diaries, I ‘grew out’ of spilling my te

Rest, Relax, Reset & Refresh...

New beginnings bring brightness more fierce than sunlight, awakenings more majestic than all the mountains surrounding Windhoek city and clarity, transcendent enough to move is into shapes, spaces and places that reflect and project our best and highest selvles. The festive season is usually a time filled with love and family for me but it is also a time that can be busy, energy draining, leaving little or no time left for self-care not to mentioned the incurred toxic overloa

Kinks, Curls & Coils

As a black woman, wearing my hair in its natural state is symbolic of self-love & acceptance as well as reclaiming & setting my own standard of beauty. Going natural was about rebeling against the status quo and about fiercely being and looking like myself. I did my big chop in 2013 and I felt so light and free afterward. I love the time, care & nourishment that my hair demands because it contributes to my self-care and translates to self-love. I look at how strong, lush and

Body Goals

Celebrating me because in spite of growing up with an eating disorder, I am my own body goals 👯👯👯 Growing up, I was always the fat one in the family. I would get teased for it and I always felt self conscious when people would point out how much bigger than my older sister I was. Some people (mostly family members) would blatantly exclaim, "Esse jy's vet" when they saw me. I don't know if it was done with harmful intent but it sure as hell hurt me and all those messages di

That Nama Skin Glow

Guys!! My skin lately though, I know that it isn't perfect but it glows and no I am not pregnant (I think)!! Roughly two years ago I wouldn't leave the house without being covered in a thick layer of foundation laid by the gods themselves because I had such terrible acne and acne scaring. It was excruciating; my confidence was non-existence and believe me I tried everything. From DIY honey + sugar facial scrubs (which tasted yummy and left my skin feeling softer than a baby b
