Hello Lockdown, Hello New Norm, Hello New Blog

-


 

Lockdown came with it many different challenges….both socially and personally. I quickly found myself adjusting to working at home and working overtime to make up for the sells that were missed in the first 2 months of lockdown and once I was able to close the gap, what-a-lot-i-got for working from home.

On weekends I swamped myself with gardening, cleaning, basically working myself tired to avoid just sitting infront of the TV and wasting my time away. So I found ways to make myself useful, not only did I start gardening, I awakened the writer in me that I never knew existed. I am currently not travelling a lot based on the obvious but I sure have a lot to share and engage about.


I started looking into informative channels and platforms, not everything is Netflix and chill. I started doing my research and some reading. Although having read through online media I found that there a lot of articles on how to save during lockdown. How to make money lockdown, how cooking and baking were made easy and guess what…how millionaires are made during this depression.

I need to point out that the secret of live and most things is in the reading but the tricky part is, with all the information overload and Internet Of Things beaming. It is easy to miss that one article that could set you up for success or that one book for all that matter.

We are in an era where we spend most of our time on social media and also on the aesthetics and superficials as this somehow validates and is a measure of your importance or rather how influential one can be.

I have also realised that with all this going on, people have become entitled (not sure what to make out of this) and have become now more than ever opinionated on what goes on around them. Could be good or bad, depends on how you look at it.


Now…the idea to start writing and share my thoughts came when I realised that actually I have some free time now that I am working from home, so why not make the world a better place with my 2 cents worth and I would hope that would set me apart from the other bloggers. I do not have any travel experiences to share nor a favourite eatery to snap and share but merely share my thoughts and educate others in the process.


Sharing my journey of becoming and being and how we are in different ways going through the same thing although in different frequencies and different wavelengths. So…has a piece of me and my journey and try not to catch feelings.


HAPPY BLOGGING ♥

Growing your career has never been so easy...

For a person working a 9 to 5, we all know that come February/March we need to submit our development goals. Depending on the organization you work for and your manager this could be either a tick box exercise or this could actually determine where you are headed in your career.  Career development goals was just another to do exercise for me with my previous employer because we were given 2 weeks to think about our goals and populate this on workday or worst case scenario, I had to submit those in 24 hours like WTF. But anyway, I managed to do that, and I guess I didn’t stay long in that organization. What does it really mean to build you career and have you actually thought about this? or as long as you progressing in your career, not sure where you going though but as long as you moving forward and the money is good then everything else is good right? Nah Buddy, then you are in a different hood not adulthood. So, I found it fitting to share this since I literally just submit...

South African Apps For South Africans

Keeping up with the theme of supporting local from my previous  post – New Year, New Me Bull , I thought I would share some of the African developed apps that we should have and also riding on the twitter wave that we should normalise supporting South African businesses first before supporting the big dogs whether  it’s black or white doesn’t really matter. Let’s support local first and if one local business does not give you quality service try the next local business. Try at least supporting 3 local business before you go to the international conglomerate. ·        Moya Messenger – This a messenger app that enables its users to communicate without the use of data provided they don’t send any attachments. Sending attachment is not data free. No charges on voice notes though. It’s data free when your sim is from a supported South African mobile network. All you do is switch on your data and you good to go. There are features on the app as well ...

What is the Big Deal About Skincare?

Many people are very confused by the current state of the market and are wondering what is the big deal about skincare. They see the so-called beauty companies all over the television and they see them pitching their wares but aren't quite sure what to believe. In fact, a quick search of the Internet will yield a veritable plethora of information on this subject. So, why is there so much confusion about skincare? There are several reasons for that. One of the first causes of the recent confusion regarding skincare products is the fact that we have more choices than ever before when it comes to cosmetics. This has resulted in us buying more things that claim to be able to improve our skin. The problem is that most of these products are not actually very good for our skin and in fact some of them can even be quite harmful. Chemicals are used in these cosmetics products that are intended to give the skin a better appearance and these chemicals often times can cause problems. We now kn...
