In a short but blunt way, this life can kind of suck. Sorry, but it does. I remember the 31st of Dec 2020 like it was yesterday, I just had this deep sense inside of me that this year would be great one, cause let’s not lie, 2020 was the pits, so in some weird way I just thought that this was the year that that all changes. I felt such joy and peace about it — in fact my exact words to a friend not so long ago were I felt complete peace about where I was and complete…

VLOG: LOCKDOWN CHRONICLES
/ 17 Jun, 2020*dusts off cobwebs* is this thing on? Hi guys, so I know it’s literally been 105 days since we were last on here, and just writing the number 105 makes me even feel shy.. like I can’t believe it’s been that long, yikes! But I guess with the never ending plot twists that 2020 keeps giving us, the hiatus (though abrupt, sorry about that) was bound to happen, because (I’ll speak for myself) for a while there, I was unable to can. The only thing that made sense was sleep, and so sleeping I did! But I guess if I’m…
Alexa, Play “In Over My Head”
/ 4 Mar, 2020I was going to begin this blog with a cliche statement which goes a little something like, “I can’t believe it’s already March, where has all the time gone”… and while it is a fitting statement, because.. I honestly cannot comprehend the fact that its already March… the truth is, I realise why for the most part we always think time is never on our side. Maybe I’m mistaken and an invisible speed x2 button has been pressed on life and everything we are used to experiencing is happening at double the speed (which would honestly make sense… in a…
#PODCAST: IS LOVE ENOUGH, PT.2
/ 5 Feb, 2020…and we’re back! This week, in pt 2 of the podcast we continue our conversation about love and whether that in itself, is enough.. we look at how we define it and have defined it in the past and where we may (if at any point) have gone wrong in those definitions. We also look at what role society or “peer pressure” has played in us choosing to be in love, and what pressures we also knowingly or unknowingly put on ourselves, especially when we think we’ve done everything right, and yet for some reason our ideal love hasn’t happened…
#PODCAST: IS LOVE ENOUGH?
/ 29 Jan, 2020How would you answer that question? Yes? No? Maybe?….. If? Only? But? Without giving away any spoilers, (our thoughts are expressed in the podcast) because trust me I could go on, what I will say is that I suppose there are many ways to answer that question, and one could say many determining factors in answering it too. I definitely think there can be a case to be made for either answer, because love in and of itself is such a big word, big concept, big feeling… and I don’t know if such a question can have a straight forward…
THE ONLY THING NOT WORKING FOR ME, IS ME
/ 17 Jan, 2020I know its a couple of weeks late, but Happy New Year friends! I trust that you all had an enjoyable end to 2019 and start to 2020? Here is hoping that for each and everyone of you, this year will be the best one yet! That for you 2020 will be the year to mark all years, the year God does not stop showing off with you, and the year that there will be no drought when it comes to His blessings in your life and the lives of those you love. I know for sure that is something…
#PODCAST: DISCOVERING YOUR GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE (A LOW-KEY GUIDE)
/ 27 Nov, 2019So I know it’s been quite a drrryyyyy desert on here the past few weeks, and there really is no excuse, just a million apologies. Life has just been happening too quickly and all at once that we kind of just lost the plot a bit over there, but we are still here! And if you will allow us to pick up where we left off, we have another podcast episode for you, one we hope you will enjoy, glean something from, answer questions you might have had or just find interesting. I know when I was thinking about what…
#PODCAST: AN HONEST DISCUSSION ABOUT GRIEF, PT. 2
/ 30 Oct, 2019If you haven’t already please listen to the first part of this podcast episode, where Gugu and her friend Fungai talk honestly and openly about what it is to grieve and deal with all the emotions that come with it. As a. refresher for those who may not have had a chance to listen yet, Gugu’s friend Fungai sadly lost her mother to cancer in July this year, and we are so thankful that even though it is all still very fresh, she has bravely and generously shared the emotions she has gone through (and is still going through) in…
#PODCAST: AN HONEST DISCUSSION ABOUT GRIEF, PT. 1
/ 23 Oct, 2019We’re back with another podcast episode this week. I’m excited for this one, but not because the topic of conversation is a particularly fun one, because as you can tell from the title, it’s in fact pretty heavy, but I’m excited because the format this week is a little different. As we mentioned before, some of the podcasts will be brought to you as usual by both Gugu and I sharing on our previous posts, or specific topics of interest to us, but doing so in conversation with other female minds and voices with much to impart. This one is…
SARAH’S LAUGHTER
/ 16 Oct, 2019I just want to start off with a tiny little confession, this blog post may or may not be [read: is] about 80% plagiarised. I’ll explain. The title for starters; as perfect as it is, and you will see why in a moment, I didn’t come up with it myself. I saw a devotion with the same title on the Bible App, and like I said it was so fitting for what I want to talk about today, so I stole it. Then comes the actual content of the blog; here is where Turn It In would absolutely embarrass me.…
