Hair washing days are "ME" days.
backstory: I’ve come to treasure things I used to take for granted, when I was still living in South Africa because of their scarcity here. For example, nowadays, I reuse hair extensions until I can’t use them any more, before I bin them. Anyway, beauty of the days I wash my hair is that they are “me” time, a pampering of sorts, as braided hair takes long to dry.

ACCEPTANCE is embracing strengths and flaws.
backstory: Some of the ways I uphold my integrity are empathy, kindness and keeping my promises. Lately, I’ve been dismissal at these. For instance, I’ve found myself saying yes to things I should be saying no to, and end up not following through. One reason is that I’m simply tired…(long story). But there’s beauty in accepting my flaws too, instead of berating myself about my shortcomings. Because I simply can’t be all things to everyone.

On sleepless nights, beauty reveals itself. backstory: Between the restless planet, pandemic and unrest in the world, it can be difficult to sleep at times. Luckily we have a warm weather, at present. So, when I struggle to sleep, I take my camera and sit outside. And if I’m lucky the moon will come out to play hide and seek with the clouds.
