Lioness Rebirth: The EVOLUTION

One of my favourite YouTuber did a video post entitled '16 things I learnt in 2016'. This video inspired me to write this blog post. Here are  sixteen (16) things I learnt in 2016 that changed my year. Leave a comment below telling me some of the things you learnt in 2016. 1) Be Positive I have learnt how powerful positive thinking can be. I always thought I was a pretty positive person; however 2016 taught me that I harboured a number of negative thoughts in my mind that held me back from achieving greatness.So, everyday I try my best to project the thoughts that I want to materialise in my life.

So, consider the traffic situation before leaving home. No Last Minute Shopping Do not shop last minute. Last minute shopping is one of the most stressful thing you can do during the holidays. This is due to th

Blogmas - Day 3 S quads are the new hit thing among the millennial. Being a child of the 90's I did not get the whole squad trend or maybe I could just be weird (LOL). Seriously though, I have analysed the concept and now I can see the merit in having a squad. Now, let me break it down for you. A squad is a group of common friends that you have, that you hang out together at the same time. Now I think about it, I remember Carrie and the girls from Sex and the City. Those girls would be the ultimate 90’s girl squad. With that in mind, girl squads can be great if you have the right type of squad. So, today I am going to lay the ground work of how to create the ultimate girl squad. In creating my Ultimate Girl Squad I have painstakingly compiled five types of girls who would comprise the squad. These girls are (but are limited to): Xena Warrior Princess At the top of the list, I have Xena Warrior Princess type of girl. This girl is a bad*ss.  She is strong, fi
