What is beauty

In today's day and age we are so pressurized to conform to standards that have been set by other people.  Everything from the latest haircolor to the fashion fads but most importantly the big SIZE issue.. How often have we had that one bitchy friend or relative brag about her size 28?
What we fail to realize is that each of us are made unique and individually.  You are an original not a replica. . 

So what suits your bestie may not necessarily be the right cut for your body shape. Similarly, what looks absolutely amaaaazing on you could look crap on her (silent yaaaaaay, yeah I know you have that bitchy streak too)...


No matter how hard we try to conform there will always be that 1 person thinner than you, better legs, lighter skin  (ja you know us indians,  it's about fair), etc but don't let yourself be despondent about those features. . Make peace with the way you look and learn to love every bit of you, flaws and all and that's the only way you will gain self confidence.
Self confidence is the best outfit that we can  put on that will flatter every single part of you. It's only when you are self confident that others will believe in you.


So don't live by other people's standards, define your own.
Beauty comes from within and every one of us is beautiful in our own unique way..


So please remember YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. .

Me in a Summary

Hi there lovelies..

So I thought that I'd begin by introducing myself. My name is Samantha(but you can call me Sam) and I'm a full time mum of 3 lovely angels..

I'm also a wife, full time university student currently in my final year towards my degree in Environmental Management,  a shopaholic,  a beauty addict and lover of all things beautiful. .

I absolutely adore having lots of fun with my family, shopping sprees (yaaay), I can go absolutely crazzzzeeee when there's a good sale

 makeup, STILETTOS, pretty manicures,   cocktails and  enjoying a lekker party..

Oh, and how can I forget my absolute favorite,  a good pot of mutton curry. .
I tend to be very lazy at times so I'm a sucker for easy peasy lemon squeezy recipes that have already been tried n tested by OTHER people.. yeah that how I roll 😎. I really enjoy eating out and ultimately having to cry about it n promise myself I'm going to lose weight but stick to a diet for only a week..🙈

My greatest challenges are getting up in the morning ,

getting down to studying,  and squeeeeezzzing into my clothes that seem to be shrinking  (I blame it on the dryer).

So follow me on my journey through life, complaints, compliments , tips, tricks and life hacks all while holding on to my sanity on a single thread. ..
