Let’s talk about therapy. I’ve just finished reading a book where the main characters go to therapy and their experience got me thinking about my own time in therapy. I can’t believe it’s been five years since my therapy journey began. It started in the most unexpected way and I can’t believe how far I’ve…

A Letter To My 25-Year-Old Self
Writing a letter to my younger self is something I’ve done before. When I turned 30, I wrote a letter about my 20s as a whole instead of focusing on one year. I turn 35 today (20 June) and I’ve decided to write a letter to 25 year old me. Reflecting on what life was…
How To Maintain Curly Crochet Braids
If you read the last post on the blog then you probably noticed that it was more beauty-related. Moving forward, there’ll be more beauty posts on the blog. When I launched the blog in 2017, I used to write a lot of beauty content (reviews, tips, launches etc.) so I can’t wait to go back…
The Best Experiences I Had In 2024
Happy New Year KS readers! Thank you for your support in 2024 and I hope 2025 is everything you want it to be and more! Am I the only one who feels like the year went by so fast? On New Year’s Eve, I decided to journal for a few hours to reflect on how…
What I Think About Friendships In Your 30s
Let’s talk about friendships in your 30s. In 2019, I wrote a post titled ‘10 things that good friends do for each other’. When I wrote the post, I was 29 and most likely going through a saturn return, so emotions were definitely high. I was thinking about the ‘good friends’ post recently and I…
This Is What No One Tells You About Doing Inner Work
Doing inner work is exhausting. There I said it. I started therapy four years ago and I’ve reached a point where doing inner work has become fatiguing (this is addressed later in the post). Prior to going to therapy, I had seen a counsellor once or twice, but not for a long period of time….

What Grief Is Like After The Two-Year Mark
In this post, I will be talking about what grief is like after the two-year mark. It would have been impossible for me to write about what grief was like after a year because I was all over the place. Two years on, I feel like I can talk about grief and what my experience…
I Made A Career Change At 30!
I made a career change at 30. Most of my 20s were spent in roles that didn’t make me happy. I was doing what everyone else wanted me to do instead of what would make me happy. If you are 30 or in your 30s and you’re thinking about a career change, then this post…
Grief And The Absent Parent
Grief is hard. Nothing can prepare you for it. Finding out my father had died in the way I did was a complete shock to the system. I had no idea that his health had taken a turn for the worst. I reached out to him in December 2021 and that was the last time…
