The Tshegofatso: December 2014

Christmas eve ☆

Christmas December 24, 2014

Christmas eve also known as five to Christmas according to my sister or Louis Tomlinson's birthday as I'd like to call it. The malls are buzzing with customers doing last minute Christmas shopping, Christmas movies are playing on television and families are coming together. The Christmas spirit is officially in the air, if you haven't felt it yet I hope someone comes along and slaps you with some Christmas cheer because it's the time to be jolly.

What does Christmas mean to me?

December 25 to me is the day when my family and I celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We exchange gifts, enjoy good food together and simply have a wonderful time as a family. For the past few years of my life my dad would always tell me that if I woke up early enough I catch the sun dancing. After 15 years of existence I am still to witness this, hopefully tomorrow will be my lucky day.

My plans for Christmas 2015 :

I plan to wake up at 4 am to the sight of the sun dancing but don't worry too much I won't keep my hopes high. Christmas will be spent doing what we usually do (exchange gifts, go to church, have lunch and dinner together and have a super awesome day) just in a smaller group of just my parents, my sister, my cousin, our dog Fiona of course and I.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. How do you celebrate Christmas?

Monochrome Madness♡

Hey everyone!

I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday because I am. Everything is so Christmassy and I also feel so Christmassy and happy. I've been spending my days reading till late, shopping/window shopping till my feet ache and simply enjoying spending time with my family.

This outfit is one I wore on a night out with my family and it's one of my favourites. When I think it, most of my outfits are 'one of my favourites' or else I wouldn't wear them.

U-tube skirts/pencil skirts/bodycon skirt or whatever they're called have a special place in my heart, if that's possible. I have quite a collection and it's still growing. Maybe one day I'll have my own army, who knows?

Skirt - Factorie
Top - Cotton On
Necklace - Factorie
Shoes - Cotton On
Rings - Mr Price
Watch - Edgars

Let's get painting!

December 12, 2014

The first week of the school holidays is drawing to an end. I've got plenty of time on my hands and I'm not complaining. I spent Friday and Saturday at the mall with my sister and Sunday at the salon. On Wednesday my mom and I went shopping for a present for my sister whose birthday was yesterday (woohoo happy belated birthday Masego!)

On Tuesday I was quite bored so I decided to do some DIYing. I painted a 'T' on a tote bag because how cool is that? I was going for an ombre look, it didn't turn out the way I planned but I like the finished product so YAASS! I painted the cross sometime in the beginning of this year and I'm really proud of it.

Here's how I did it:

7 Things I learned in 2014♡

lessons December 09, 2014

1. Someone will always have something to say. Whether good or bad you have to continue doing what makes you happy.

2. People change, so did I it's part of growing up. There's times in our lives when we finally have to leave the caccoon and learn to fly.

3. People have different opinions. You don't have to go around shoving yours in people's faces but stand up for what you believe in when it's necessary.

4. Bad days come along and it's okay not to be okay just remember that the storm will pass.

5.Your mental health is way more important than school.

6. There's always someone who is going to be better. The goal is not to be better than them but to be better than the person you were yesterday.

7.You'll never know unless you try. Don't be afraid to take risks.
