Can I start by saying Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful mothers out there. A couple of days late, I know. To all the women reading this, you are the foundation of our homes, your sacrifices are the reason we are who are today and we love you. I am thankful I got to see and spend time with my mum a few weeks ago when she came to visit. The older I get, the more I realize how much of a mummy's baby I am and my mum and I look insanely alike now that I'm older.
Your girl graduated !!! Mama I made it, class of 2018 was gooood? It just occurred to me that one of the biggest moments of my life should have been blog worthy or better yet, vlog worth. Truth is, prepping to that final day was an emotional and physical rollercoster that blogging was the last thing on my mind. There are some things people never tell you about that last push. Its exhausting, its exciting, its feelings of fear, hope and anticipation of a bright future bundled into one. Again, its good to remember that everyone is different but I can't begin to explain how anxious I was about everything coming together.

Looking back, I could write a book about everything I've learnt about myself and the world around me in the last couple of years. One verse that resonated with me during my tough times was Ecclesiastes 3 v 1
"to everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven"
and I learnt to trust in God's timing. Which leads me to my topic of this blog post.
How many times have you planned something and things don't work out the way you want them to ? Its almost counter intuitive to think that planning is the best way forward, yet things sometimes don't ever work according to plan. I have to admit that this notion tends to make me choose not to plan altogether. Experience is the best teacher so let me tell you this, DON'T PLAY YOURSELF. Even though things may not go according to plan, having a plan means you have a direction in your life. The "why or how" you go about it is what determines if it will work or not. When you make plans, seal them with a prayer and declare them in your life and watch God work his hand in your life.
With Uni finally behind me, the future holds so many possibilities for me. I'm excited about the rest of the year because I have so much I have planned in terms of my blog, my personal brand, my career and personal growth.
I still need to figure out how to fix my comment section but your girl isnt tech savvy so if you can help, please drop me an email : slimthickdiva@gmail.com or dm me on IG: @that_slimthickdiva.
About My Outfit:
Being a student taught me the importance of style on a budget. Looking good doesn't mean you should break the bank. Instead, mix and match pieces and work well with your body type. You know over the years I've grown to love thrifting. I thrifted this amazing skirt (the print is so in right now). I'd been wanting one of these skirts for the longest time but couldn't justify spending over $20 on a skirt like this so I purchased this for a whooping $5! Yep, you read right, $5. I paired it with a bodysuit from Urban Behavior (which was $10) and the belt was $5.99. I, being the shoe addict I am, don't mind splurging on a nice pair of shoes. I got these clear babies from Steve Madden as a graduation gift to myself (one of many by the way) on sale as well. To complete the look, I revamped an old wig to give this look the finishing touch it deserves. Yay or nay ??
Have a blessed week.
