Happy month of October fam. Yes I know the month is almost over lol.

Hope you are feeling well. 

It's more obvious that we are at the end of the year now as we are in the end October. 

September was back-to-school and it's been about learning to get two kids ready for school. I've also been enjoying more solo time now that both kids are going to school. Today for example, I used that time to rest and reset. At first, I didn't know what to do with myself at that time because it felt good to be by myself like that. Now I'm getting used to it and making use of it for sure. I hope the back-to-school is going on well for you too.

I'm watching the third season of "Bachelor Afrique Francophone" and it's quite interesting. The bachelor this time around seems more objective that's why it's a highlight for me. I'm a fan of fun reality shows and I enjoy the conversations online too. I look forward to Tuesday evenings with enthusiasm. 

September went so fast and as we look forward to October, I wish you lots of blessings and positive things these last months of the year. You need to stay positive in order achieve as much as you can. If you still have plans to achieve your goals for this year then you should think and stay positive. You can still do it or at least try. Whatever efforts you make towards your goals will take you somewhere closer to what you want to achieve. So stay positive. Pray for your goals and send a lot of positive vibes through your thoughts to it. 

I just got out of a "functional freeze" and now I feel good writing this post. A functional freeze is similar to a writer's block but it involves the lack of motivation or energy to do many daily tasks in your life. Itt often occurs after a period of intense work or focus to achieve an objective which makes your brain go to rest mood. I didn't understand this until I saw a video on Tiktok talking about it. I'm glad I found that video because it helped me understand what I was experiencing and eventually a solution. That said, let me share with you guys how things have been going lately.

A while ago I told you guys about my weight loss journey and since then I've made more progress thanks to more intermittent fasting. I honestly didn't have the strength to workout since I was fasting and I didn't feel like it mentally. I don't know yet how much I weigh now but my body has really improved. I'm proud of myself because the fasting wasn't easy but I did it. I fasted from about 8 pm to midday the next day for a little over a week. During my eating time, I ate normally or just what I needed. I didn't try to eat too much or more than I needed to.

Fitting into clothes is much better though my belly still stands out. But at least I can "suck my belly in" to have a flat tummy. Lol.

We are getting close to looking like the baddie we used to be a few years ago lol. The journey is tough but we thank God. 

And with a touch of white hair color I've been able to pull the baddie look for a few weeks now. 

After months and even years of not taking care of my appearance as I used to, I decided to focus on grooming myself back to my younger self. Lol, it's not been an easy journey and I have been trying different things like getting a low cut and also trying different hair colors too. Although my main reason for cutting my hair was to have an easy and low maintenance hairstyle I also wanted to find my face, the face I know - My younger face. Now that I'm satisfied with the younger look, I feel like growing my hair again. We'll see. It's been fun and exciting so far with all the changes I have made with my hair. And I am glad I let myself go on this adventure to try new things and extreme colors.

The long holiday is over and I'm switching to back-to-school mood which is not easy. The school runs will begin very soon. I'm excited about the free alone time I'll get and at the same time I'm bothered by the early mornings I have to start getting use to.

 

I hope you are warming up for the school reopening too. Wishing all you parents a wonderful reopening and all the best in Jesus' name, amen.

Have a blessed month of September.

Take care.

It's been a while we had a chit-chat about life on this space.

Hope you guys are doing well. 

I've been wanting to do this post for the longest time now. But life has been lifing. 

It's been challenging to keep up with writing updates weekly so I thought it would be better to change it. We will now call our weekly updates Life Lately so that I can post them when I'm ready or able to. That said, here we go with life lately. 

Busy and overwhelming these past weeks. If you didn't know, I am a social media manager and strategist for social impact (I work with non profits and charities). I am building my professional and personal brands and it is energy and time consuming. It's something I enjoy doing and like any other job it can be overwhelming. These past weeks have been survival mode for me and I'm on a mini break now to avoid burnout.

I'm making the most of the second half of the year. Evaluating and improving. also praying more and trusting God for the best because He is the Almighty God and I can only trust Him for all my needs. 

I'm taking content creation even more seriously on this blog and my YouTube channel and will be more intense about creating content to inspire and inform ambitious women to become knowledgeable, as well as financially and emotionally intelligent. The tips are really practical and honest with a details of what I do for my self growth. 

The determination to do this intensely for the rest of the year came from my desire to make this last part of the year count and also since I shared the trad wife post on YouTube which got more views than usual in a few hours. Watch the video here. 

Life lately has been full of eye opening experiences especially career wise and much retrospection; I've been exposed to work experiences that will definitely help me in the future as a social media manager and strategist for social impact. There are fresh ideas to explore and I'll be doing that on my career page Kaolosphere. 

I'm excited for the rest of the year and if you you are also determined to make the next 5 months count then say 'I got this!' in the comment section. 

Wishing you a wonderful week ad see you in the next empowering post. 💋

Happy Sunday. Hope you are doing well today. 

Today is the second day I'm waking up to blogging on my laptop and it feels so amazing. For the past months, I've been creating content on my phone. My laptop and desktop got bad at the same time making these past months challenging for me to work and create content. I love working on my phone but there are some things which are easier to do on a computer. Also there's a wider view I get while working on my laptop or computer which makes me feel creative in a different way. 

While working yesterday I was excited to open my blog and other pages I havent seen on my computer for a long time. When I got to my YouTube channel, I was able to see my videos together and I realized that I've had quite a journey of growth on YouTube. I will talk about the highlights of that journey in my next post.

This morning while blogging. I still have to repair the keyboard of my laptop but I'm so happy and grateful that I can use the external keyboard.

The old feeling of being a blogger is comming back since I started blogging on my laptop. And I love the feeling so much! Also I get less distracted on my computer because i have motifications from apps like instagra and facebook. And the feeling of "just pressing my phone the whole day" has reduced lol. 

😊

Hope you are doing well. 

I haven't been consistent with the weekly recaps so here is what happened these past few weeks.

I haven't hiked for more than a month now but I've been working out seriously at home and lost some more weight. I feel proud of myself and I shared more about it in my latest youtube video.

Also, I've been taking my skin care seriously and I added a few fashion items to my wardrobe. 

For what's new, I explored new short hair styles and started gardening again. Yay! I'm really excited about seeing my plants grow.

There's been more desire to clean up and organize some spaces in my home that I hadn't cleaned in a while. 

That's what I've been up to lately and just to add that I'm actually writing this blog post on my computer and I'm so happy to be able to do this after such a long while. My computers all got bad and I'm glad I was able to get at least one of them repaired. All this while I've been blogging on my phone. Though I love blogging on my phone, there's a different lovely feeling when I blog on my computer. 

So guys tanks for reading my post today and let's catch up in the comments with your thoughts and what you have been up to lately. 

We hiked Mt Fébé & Ngoa-ekele. I have separate videos of these experiences which are each unique
