    Hi, Lovelies,
    I hope you all are keeping well. I know I haven’t been on here for a minute, and a lot has happened and changed. That’s for another day, but I wanted to share the pregnancy glow denim and denim look I shared on my IG on the weekend.
    There is something about double denim that is always so giving. Let me know what you think.

    Thinking In Colour

    Thinking in colour

    I am always, thinking in colour.

    Colour closely reflects our emotions, it is powerful. This connection begins at a very young age.

    Red could mean firey and confident, black could mean moody and yellow could mean happy. Even if we don’t realise it, we actually wake up thinking colour.

    How did you choose your outfit this morning? Which colour did you “feel” like wearing?

    I have always loved colour.

    Colour helps me to display my personality, happiness and brightens me up on the days where I might feel a little dull.

    When I’m feeling a little quirky I might even clash colours to create something different that just works!

    It’s definitely a skill to do it and turn it into style and not just a hot mess.

    Colour clearly reflects our emotions, it is powerful.
    Let's brighten up the world, bring happiness and spread colour.

    What colour are you today?

    Tomorrow, I challenge you to change your colour into something bright. Let’s brighten up the world, bring happiness and spread colour.

    It can be difficult to wear a colour you aren’t used to wearing…but I can almost guarantee you that it will literally change your attitude throughout the day.

    Just looking down and seeing a fun, bright outfit will make you smile and will brighten your day.

    You could pick your colours by the way you already feel OR you could pick them around how you WANT to feel.

    See this colour guide below to help you out!

    BLUE – calm, stable, wisdom

    YELLOW – happy, energetic, youthful

    BROWN – down to earth, reliable, natural

    GREEN – fresh, hope, healing

    PURPLE – royal, luxurious, fun

    BLACK – mystery, power, intrigue, moody

    WHITE – clear, innocent, pure

    GREY – quiet, unsure, neutral

    ORANGE – fun, energized, funky

    PINK – fun, youthful, sassy

    RED – passionate, sexy, intense

    Audacious – Are you ready to Make a move?

    Do you have the audacity to make a move?

    I hope you all are keeping well. I left April another year older but that’s not a bad thing! Because I celebrated my born day on the 29th of April.

    Every year and every day I appreciate life a little bit more. I am so grateful and content for all that I have and for those that surround me.

    I am so blessed to be living this life, whilst not perfect I live it with no regrets and I am saying YES to new experiences! I appreciate all the ups, downs, cry, laughs, smiles, and everything in-between as it is all making my life so rich. So RICH

    I know my best days are still ahead of me because God is the center of my life.

    I know my best days are still ahead of me because God is the center of my life.

    You should be, as there is so much that can happen in this, think about all the possibilities.

    In my President, Ronald Reagan voice baby girl- “Sonia (<– insert your name) tear down all the walls”. The ones you have built and the ones others have built for you too because there is so much more to see in this world. So many wonderful experiences to enjoy and live. There’s so much more than this. And I don’t need to see it to believe it! You don’t need to see it to believe it either.

    I don’t care what materials you might have used to build it, but it needs to come down. Seriously, bring it all down. Life is for the living and is way too short to hold on to lost things. Someone is missing out on the great soul you are and can be. In fact, you are missing out on yourself.


    Getting out of my own way and letting the good energy flow is my current vibe _ so you may ask how I am doing this? By being the energy I want to receive, I have the choice to act on all the negatives in my life but I choose to move away from them…audaciously!

    Getting out of my own way and letting the good energy flow is my current vibe

    Moving on is like learning a new habit, and that takes so much energy and grace to acclimatize, but you have to make it a deliberate decision.

    So, today I dare you to take a minute of silence! …………….After the minute, that silence was for the loss of all the doubts, hurts, and heartbreaks and the beginning of a new era to step into your promise land in other words………Moving on to be the best person you can be. I really mean living and enjoying life not just surviving or conforming to the norms.

    My Style Corner:

    I chose this outfit as my birthday outfit because it is stylish, comfortable with a little bit of sexy thrown in there too!

    This suit was definitely perfect for the occasion.

    • The color speaks elegantly in a subtle loudness. You know what I am talking about
    • This suit set is called ‘ The bright light” because of the sequin details which I fell in love with it and I wanted to shine bright as I celebrate another year of life.
    • I am a blazer person so you will be seeing me style this blazer a lot. You have been warned !!!
    • I am not exactly a shorts kinda girl but this one works so well. It’s high-waisted, with a wild leg fit which is very flattering. I use the shorts belt as a waist tie. Did you tell?
    • This suit is by Sass & Bide and it’s currently on sale at Myers. I have listed a couple of similar items in my SHOP

    What are you waiting for?

    Little Party Dress COCO PINK FLORAL MAXI DRESS

    What are you waiting for? I think we can all agree that from time to time we procrastinate, sometimes we put things off…for various reasons. It might be because we are scared, anxious, time-poor, or let’s admit it, sometimes just a little lazy.

    It might just be something as simple as cleaning the kitchen cupboards, forgiving a friend, starting a new business, or telling someone you love them.

    We wait, make excuses and delay until we feel safe…and if we don’t feel safe, we put it off for longer! Most of the time this doesn’t benefit you, it just makes the process longer and the fear festers and grows.

    You are stronger, wiser, and more capable than you realize!

    You are stronger, wiser and more capable than you realise!

    It is so easy to overanalyze, but most of the time it’s unnecessary and when you put the first foot in that direction that fear will turn to excitement!

    I know it is daunting, I have been there! When I began SonishSpace I was terrified of putting myself out there. What would people think? Do people even care about what I have to say? As you are reading this blog right now…the answer was YES. I took a deep breath, and I jumped.

    Take the time to forgive, bring your dreams into reality and stop delaying.

    Take the time to forgive, bring your dreams into reality and stop delaying.

    I am sending out to you, positive vibes and confidence to do it. Go for it. Jump!

  • Move Away From The Past

    Move Away From The Past

    The Little Party Dress - Isadora Plum Dress | Fashion & Lifestyle Blogger

    WOW!!!! We have finished a quarter of 2021 already….can you believe it?! Because I’m really struggling to get my head around it!

    Happy New Month!! I am a little excited about this month, why? Because it’s my birthday month of course!

    As I enter into this new month, I have been thinking about the past and why we hold on to it. Are you thinking the same thing too? Do you think about the past more than the present or the future? Why is that?

    If the past is on your mind, think with me, and let’s try to work out why…

    What is in your past that is holding you back?
    Can you change it?
    What would you have done differently?
    Do you think life was better or worse compared to now?

    These are questions that I also struggle with, and today I want us to try and add some words to these endless thoughts.

    There are blessings coming to you (or perhaps past you – grab them!) every…single…day.

    There are blessings coming to you every…single…day.

    From an honest point of view, my answers to these questions and why I hold on to certain memories change in every passing day. Life as we know it is constantly changing and as humans, we grow stronger, wiser, and get closer to our life’s purpose every single day…this can be daunting, exciting, and perhaps a little bit scary. We learn from new experiences and these alter our perspective, even if only in the slightest of ways. 

    HINT! HINT!  If you allow yourself to just be, some of these memories will become a blur.

    In saying that, the truth is, some things about my past I miss and that’s that. It is the past and like T.D. Jakes always says, what’s in front of you is way better than what’s in your past.

    Don’t be too stuck that you can’t afford to pay attention. I have learned to live in the moment and pay attention to what’s happening in my life right NOW!

    Your past is NOT your potential. Choose to liberate yourself in the present and make preparation for the future.

    Your past is NOT your potential.

    Appreciate the past and experience the present…… IT IS NOW so enjoy it.

    Let me know in the comments about your thoughts…… sending love and light your way.

  • Happy 2021!!!

    Happy 2021!!!

    Happy new year!!!  Well, we are already 24 days in and I am still trying to get my head around it.

     

    Welcome to 2021, WOW! can you believe it, yes I can, we all can because most of us are happy to bid farewell to 2020 and was looking forward to 2021. So how is 2021 looking for you?

    Mine started on the slow side – more context (here) and Brisbane (the side I reside in Australia)  went into an emergency 3 days lockdown on Friday 8th to Monday 11th at 6 pm. That went well and all in back to kinda normal as there are other limitations in place to help contain the virus.

    2020 came at us with lots of life-changing events and create for us all a new normal. It really made us realised what’s important- Family, not taking things for granted, putting our financial house in order and I hope it was the same for everyone to start – start it because you really don’t have much time.

    What was your new normal entering into 2021? 

    As for me, I’m going to make more time to write in my diary. Also, to spend more time on here. I really do miss writing and letting you know what am doing and what am generally thinking about it to motivate you. Most importantly this year is to experience the bliss of being.

    I want to engage more in moments of pure consciousness, one thing 2020 has thought me is nothing is really permanent and things can change so quickly you will never get the chance to be prepared. So I want to live in the moment and provide more space for much-needed serenity. I want to just be, see life as it is and detach from any expectations and outcomes. This year like any other year, I have no resolutions just intentions. My intentions are to be happy, remain peaceful, and enjoy every moment with loved ones.

    What are your resolutions or intentions?

     

    I just want to experience life – the highs and the lows without clinging. I want to find time to go in and find my serenity. Like we all may know, peace is found within ourselves. Being on social media, the information can be overwhelming at times and it can be draining. As we are always on and constantly stimulated. I really want to build a habit of retreating back and be still even for a moment for some solitude. That’s my intention.

    Till then, set your intentions and trust the process.

    Shoes: Zara. Similar to this, this and this

    I really think one should own one PJ satin pants in their wardrobe (a colourful one at that). They are comfortable, versatile and you can pair it with a lot of your tops. It’s one of that easy-breezy outfit for your up and go ootd. Do you own one and if so how did you style it. If you don’t own one, what are you waiting for?

  • HELLO!!!!

    HELLO!!!!

    Hello
    Is anyone home? Well, I haven’t been home (on here) for what seems like a decade, so this is my return note to say thank you for sticking with me especially via my other social media platforms.

    It’s been one ride of a year and I truly hope you are coping and doing well. I really don’t want to dwell on how 2020 started and is still going, but all I can say is we should be grateful- we are still here. So keep your peace, be kind, take care of yourself more, show yourself extra love and kindness, and start that project. TAKE ACTION.

    A Few Of My Favorite Amazon Products

    You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt,
    sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth.

    Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. Be who you are and say what you feel will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it.

    They are not embarrassed to cry with you be who you are and say what you feel with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.

    Los Angeles — 2020

    You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end.

    Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

    I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without prob-lems or pride.

    I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate 

    asleep your eyes close. I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

    As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once

    Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

    Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.

    “I am,” he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. “I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have.”

    • Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.
    • All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt
    • I’m in love with you
