Another chapter in my Feminine Renaissance…
This one’s called: The Audacity to Enjoy My Life 🌹
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that being career-oriented is beautiful, but being life-oriented? That’s where the real magic lives✨
Your joy. Your longevity. Your energy. Your purpose.
All of it comes from growing into yourself 💭 not your résumé.
Life is about pursuing the things that light you up inside.
Your passions. Your weird routines. Your peace.
You need to have the audacity to put yourself first and enjoy your life 💛✨

🌿My Feminine Renaissance
The Garden Princess Chapter~Letter 02
Not to be dramatic… but this might be my favorite version of me so far…My Garden Princess Era ✨
Chopping my own banana leaves.
Picking herbs in thunderstorms.
Wrapping fresh fish in banana leaves with spices I actually grew myself.
This is what my reset looks like right now...It’s about making life feel like art ✨
It’s about what feels good, real food, presence & peace🤍
This is my feminine renaissance🥰🫶🏼✨
Earthy Spicy Healthy
And a little bit magical.
lately, I’ve been choosing to feel my best—
not for the world,
but for me.
I’ve been softening into my glow,
remembering that as women,
we are our most powerful
when we return to ourselves.
when we stop dimming.
when we see our own light
and believe it. Let’s not forget how magnetic we are when we’re kind to ourselves 🤍
The kind of bath that can heal anything ✨🌿💭
One of my favorite self care rituals is a magnesium & frankincense detox bath 🌟 Magnesium, epsom salt, baking soda, frankincense oil, rose oil & a dash of ACV is the magic recipe 🫶🏼 especially when your body is slowing down & needing some extra love during that time of the month🤍
Love the lifestyle here!!! Cape Town is seriously magnetic and magical, I feel like I’m on cloud 9 here 💭
Current morning routine: Wake up early, get some sunshine in, workout then journal and have some downtime before the day starts!✨
My kind of retail therapy and ideal paradise!!! When I’m not chopping lemongrass from my backyard garden, you can find me here!!✨ A big part of my feminine renaissance is nourishing my body with true Whole Foods, the kind that come from their natural source, not a processed plastic bag!! I don’t know when it became “luxury” to buy and consume natural Whole Foods, when this should be the standard from the very beginning!
What brings me happiness & joy?!🥰
If you would have asked me this a few years ago, my answer would have been drastically different to what I feel now. The things that bring me joy are so much more than just “things” now…
Time in Nature, time with friends & family, my animals, gardening, cooking my own food, creating, playing & all the fairy things ✨🌟🤍💭🌿
When was the last time you danced in or romanticized the rain?! 🥰
Recently, I’ve been challenged to dance in the rain, the rains of life, that is 🌿 I’ve learned that not every moment given to us is going to be a sunny day, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t enjoy it. Instead, I’ve learned that God wants us to find the magic in the rains of life & rejoice in the fact that the rain gives nourishment for the flowers to grow later on ✨
Life is all about being able to dance in the rain… learning to romanticize the small, mundane moments and make them special, because every moment we get on this earth is special and worthy of being celebrated ✨
So here I am, finding myself inspired to do the same 🤍
Do you ever get that feeling like you just want to work with your hands and be out in the sun? Like you just want to go dig in the yard and plant some flowers, trees and create new life. It’s a feeling I haven’t really felt since being a kid but we’ve been rediscovering that side of ourselves lately.
I swear, there’s no better way to disconnect and truly feel present. A return to the “old ways”. Excited to show you what we’ve been working on in our yard 🌿
Enjoying this version of me while I have her 🤍
If there’s one lesson I learn every year, it’s how age truly is a gift✨with every year comes wisdom, deeper intuition & understanding of yourself and the world around you.
I’m learning to appreciate each chapter and every version I grow into…
