How perfectionism and unrealistic expectation are robbing you of joy in your life, and how you can take back control.
Tired of feeling like you are just never measuring up?
Like there is just one thing on top of the other and you are, yet again, chasing that carrot dangling in front of you promising that if you achieve more, earn more, look better, feed your family better, lose those extra kilo's, make yet another urgent deadline, read yet another self-improvement book THEN you will be “there” (wherever ‘there’ is?)
Then you will be good enough, then life will be easier, more manageable, less messy.
Then you will be successful, have joy, feel like you are winning at being an adult?
And all the while, it can feel like your life (in reality) is just one mess, urgent deadline, sick child, missed expectation and heartbreak at a time. No matter what you do, it feels like you will just always be one step behind?
Yeah, I’ve been there.
Friend, it’s time to drop that load you are carrying, it’s too heavy, and it’s a lie.
Life is not perfect when you house is clean, your kids are behaving, and you hit all your goals.
JOY AND PEACE ARE NOT FOUND IN THE PERFECT SOMEDAY IMAGES, THEY ARE FOUND TODAY. YES, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MESSY.
Maybe it’s time to put away Pinterest and redefine what success actually looks like.
The journey is the point.
Life is meant to lived and enjoyed today. Not just survived. (Today is every day)
And that only happens when we are present and here for it, now. When we tap into the Grace that is available to us, and we choose to be present over perfect on this journey of becoming.
Now, you are speaking to recovering workaholic & entrepreneur, I know all about perfectionism and heavy expectation. While I am all for healthy striving, and making life just a little bit better each day, how can we, in the middle of our mess and chaos, add just a little more joy and hope to our days? Yes, in the middle of loadshedding, changing life season, another ear infection or broken relationship.
PRESENCE TO THE MOMENT
Jip, even when there is spaghetti on the floor and your coffee is cold and you toddler demands to be picked up and all you want to do is finish the thing you are busy with.
The secret to happiness is easier than you think – PRESENCE TO THE MOMENT.
“All of the spiritual teachers, psychologists, mindfulness experts agree, that if there is a secret to happiness, it’s simple. Presence to the moment. The more present we are in the now, the more joy we tap into” – John mark Comer (THE RUTHLESS ELIMINATION OF HURRY)
I know, it sounds too easy, too good to be true (and sometimes downright impossible, I mean, you haven’t met my boss? Do you know how many deadlines and expectation are on my plate and how far I sometimes feel from the woman I want to be)
Take a few moments, a mere 30 seconds to breathe deeply, let go, become present.
Do it right now.
Not only does it do wonders for your blood pressure, and stress levels (which will help you to problem solve better and think creatively and clarify what matters in the moment) but allows you tap into joy any time of the day.
Because, friend, is the woman you want to be a perfect one? Unrealistic, unrelatable, perfect and as plastic as Barbie? Or is she real, honest, connected, and present?
Is she learning to let go of what is a waste of time and instead focusing on what truly matters, or does she have it all figured out, with no need of grace and growth.
Perfectionism doesn’t exist anyway, so take that pressure off you. When you are old and gray, what will you wish you had spent more time on?
Give yourself grace to tap into the beautiful, chaotic, fleeting moments of your life, because life isn’t better when it’s perfect or measuring up to some unrealistic expectation, life is pretty darn great when we embrace where we are and allow ourselves to be seen in the middle of our mess. Connected with ourselves and the God who made us, who meets and loves us just where we are, just as we are.
He is the one that turns ashes into beauty anyway.
INHALE / EXHALE
Stop and pause
PRESENT OVER PERFECT
Tao into more Grace, connection, honestly on this journey of becoming who you were made to be.

Then, I took a year and studies education. I didn't wear makeup for a whole year, on purpose. I felt like I reconnected with my soul, with my inner beauty, and slowly but surely, starting living from the inside out.
Instead of putting things on to be beautiful, I stated wearing them because I was beautiful.
Our Jewellery is inspired by this, we don't want you to feel you need to earn your beauty, we want you to express it.

Here's why:
Disheartened and a confused about what is actually good for me - I went on a mission to find our about natural beauty.
]]>About a year ago, I started getting really serious about taking care of myself. Mostly with what I eat - and in that process, I came across a LOT of literature about beauty products- especially about the harmful things that are often put into the things that are supposed to nourish our skin.
Disheartened and a confused about what is actually good for me - I went on a mission to find our about natural beauty.
So, down the rabbit hole I went. I waned to learn about what is does it mean to take good care of my skin (the largest organ of my body). Enter the revelation and knowledge of essential oils, organic soaps, jojoba oil - you name it. I read it, nay studied it.
Not only was it such fun to empower myself, and learn about what is really good for me, but I felt sooo good. Every night when I put on my homemade skincare, or used my soap, my body was saying - aah, yay. My skin started clearing up more, my hair was shinier and my heart was happier.
Now, I have a long way to go, and I am excited for what lies ahead. For now- we have added our soap to the shop. The first organic, pure and good to use skincare we can confidently serve you with.
Our soap is made from 100% organic ingredients, and we will highlight the importance and uses of our ingredients from time to time in blog posts, to educate and empower you too.
We have so much more to come :) Helping you be a natural beauty.

Both the French and the American Revolution was started in coffee houses.
]]>Both the French and the American Revolution was started in coffee houses.
Coffee was used to fund the Argentinian Olympic team.
"As the Great Depression had struck the country, the delegation of 82 athletes travelled in a ship, the Itaquicê, selling coffee along the way to fund the trip." Thanks Wikipedia
(they loaded bean into the ships and sold it port to port to help them get to the Olympics) coffee can literally support your dreams.
Seems to me there is a reason we crave coffee before we start going about our day.
Study after study shows that coffee can improve memory, decrease fatigue, improve your mental functioning. Giving you that much needed boost to chase after your dreams.
And if your husband is giving you a hard time about your coffee consumption:
Just remind him that:
Coffee was such an ingrained part of society in Saudi Arabia that failing to supply your wife with coffee was grounds for divorce. (Coffee house revelutions)
Now go and enjoy your morning cuppa.

We learned that spending our days well, leads to living our days well, and well- we started paying attention to that (and the dream of tday was born)
Tday is a space, where we celebrate our creativity, where we live intentionally, beautifully, today.
]]>First off, you are so welcome here!
In the midst of the chaos of the 2020 worldwide pandemic, we were forced to slow down. Pause, evaluate. At first, we resisted, hating it, and then, we embraced it.
You know what - really good things started happening.
We started having dinner around the table, taking things slower, embracing today, because all we have to today. Tomorrow never comes.
We learned that spending our days well, leads to living our days well, and well- we started paying attention to that (and the dream of tday was born)
Tday is a space, where we celebrate our creativity, where we live intentionally, beautifully, today.
Why NOT drink out of your most beautiful favourite cup, or wear your favourite earrings.
We love coffee, our best conversation have been over coffee, dreams are build over coffee, revolutions where started in coffee houses. (And we believe coffee tastes better in a pretty mug)
So we made some for you - to remind yourself to embrace today, to see the good and beauty in today. To live more intentionally as you chase after the dreams in your heart.
We love creating beauty with our hands, and heart and our products are an outflow of that. They are unique, one of a kind, limited to small amounts, to keep the charm of having something special, never to be repeated.
Welcome here - we are so stoked to be part of your journey, and to have you as part of ours.
