Hi All, I hope you've been well given all that is going on in the world right now.

How are you keeping sane with all the chaos and negativity in the world? 

This is officially my first post of the year, wait hold up- in 2 years! To say time flies would be a downplay of how quickly life is moving, yet here we are- I'm back to my first true love. 

I recently made a return to YouTube as well, were I'm back to basics being creative with my hair! Fashion blogging is taking me a little longer to get back into but we making baby steps here and we will succeed. 

I decided to relax my hair a few years ago and its been growing steadily. However, the edges are slowly thinning out and I am tempted to cut my hair entirely and start a new hair journey. In this video, I used rubberband to create a criss cross front to a high ponytail and completed the look with a bubble pony. If you do attempt this style, you should tag me on my instagram @that_slimthickdiva for a repost. 

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.   

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.
