THE POST-CHRISTMAS RESET: Reclaiming Your Home (The Easy Way)

December 26, 2025 No Comments

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas filled with love, laughter, and far too much good food. I’m doing great, though I am currently sitting in the middle of what looks like a wrapping paper explosion—anyone else?

As much as I love the magic of the big day, that period between Christmas and New Year’s can feel a bit… well, chaotic. The house is full of new gadgets, the fridge is bursting with leftovers, and I usually have no idea what day of the week it is!

Instead of stressing about a massive “Deep Clean,” I like to follow a “Gentle Reset” routine. It’s about clearing the clutter so you can actually enjoy the last few days of the year without feeling overwhelmed. Here is my simple, step-by-step guide to getting your home (and your sanity) back in order with the post-Christmas reset.

1. TACKLE THE “Wrapping Paper Avalanche”

Before you do anything else, grab a large bin bag and do a quick sweep of the main living areas. Clear away all the ripped paper, empty boxes, and plastic packaging. It’s amazing how much “space” you get back just by removing the trash. If you have high-quality gift bags or ribbons, put them in one designated box to reuse next year—but if it’s crumpled, let it go!

Hello Everyone,

10 NATURAL HAIR TIPS FOR HEALTHY HAIR

July 6, 2024 28 Comments

Let’s talk about hair

Everyone wishes for long, silky, shiny hair but with natural hair, I aim mostly for health. I admit that I never really cared about taking care of my hair since I was used to braiding it all year round and not thinking much about it but after sometime, my hair texture changed and it became thin, brittle, full of split ends and just looked a mess until I decided to start taking care of it the right way and what suits me. These are 10 natural hair tips for healthy hair that have helped me with my 4c hair and still try to follow most of the time.

When it comes to natural hair, don’t lie to yourself and think that just because another person has natural hair, that you both have the same and that you should follow the same regimen, because everyone’s hair type is different and accepts different products and maintenance.

WHAT IS EVERGREEN CONTENT AND WHY YOU NEED IT FOR YOUR BLOG

February 26, 2023 20 Comments

Hey there,

When it comes to blogging, I am sure you’ve all heard about evergreen content or maybe have come across it at some point. If I only knew about this the first time I started blogging then it would have made a lot of things easier and I would have avoided some mistakes that I made along the way. I mean you publish fresh content expecting loads of traffic or even just a bit of attention and you get NOTHING. I know the feeling and if you have experienced this then you’re not alone and it’s fine because we tend to learn from our mistakes.
