Social media what?

Hi, my name is Pearl and I'm a social media hoe/heaux , however you spell it!
There, I said!

I have embraced a lot of social media platforms because I just really like sharing ideas, thoughts, pictures and I absolutely love interacting with people from all walks of life and different parts of the world.

I share pics on instagram , thoughts on twitter , interact on facebook, I blog and I also record videos on keek!
Keek is the latest craze in my life.

Here are some screen grabs from my latest keek videos.
Do check them out and leave your comments when you have time or just enjoy my daily ramblings...

Weekend plans...

Recording my TV show

I'm going to the WKND social with my girls tomorrow and will definitely be recording a keek or two. It'll be my first time there and I look forward to meeting new people and experiencing a new vibe!

 I have decided that from now on, I will try one new thing a week. I sure hope I can keep up and since I looooove sharing, you'll know about it.

Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting my blog.

Hair...cocktails... and a good cry!

Yes, I changed my hair again! I really enjoyed the braids, but I missed having a weave. My braids were starting to fall out and the endless trips to the hair salon for 'repairs' was getting tiring. I'm happy with my not so new 'new look'. 

I get all my hair from Demi Godess, you can check them out on www.demigodess.com

I was out and about on Saturday! This past weekend's weather was gorgeous and I decided to go out for some yummy cocktails! It didn't hurt that the company was also super awesome! 

I am thoroughly enjoying my weekends especially since I started having them all to myself. For 4 years I hosted a weekend breakfast radio show every Saturday and Sunday and hardly enjoyed time away from work to the fullest because I'd always worry about having to go to work the next day so I'd take it easy if do anything at all, turning down lunch/dinner invites had become my thing. It feels good to just kick back, relax and not worry about having to come up with interesting radio content for the next day. They'll come a time where I'll be doing it again and I won't complain about it,but right now I'm enjoying the break.

I'm relaxing more and more also because the festive season is fast approaching and I'm literally a month away from my Mozambique get-away with the girls. I have never been there before and have only heard great things about it, I hope it lives up to the hype!

I was shooting my TV show (Zaziwa) yesterday and it was quite stressful. We started way later than planned because of a technical crisis which really messed up our schedule, but we luckily recovered and got 3 out of 4 shows in the can. It's 3 very good shows so that's one thing I'm happy about. I always appreciate it when people, especially guests go out of their way to make the show a huge success!

I got home and feeling a little overwhelmed, I cried it all out. I'm a crier, I cry about everything and I keep doing it because I know how much better I feel once the 'crying session' is over. Some people scream and shout, some call a friend, some slip into a dark hole... 

I cry. 

All in all, I'm still in a good space.

#InstaShare

I follow a lady named Sihle Bolani on instagram and this is what she posted today. I loved the message so much that I reposted it on my insta page. I thought I'd also share with you.

It was a great reminder of how important it is to be mindful of the company you keep.

My weekend was all sorts of H.A.P.P.Y

Sooooooo..... I went to a wedding on Saturday!! 

The reason I am excited about this is because I hadn't been to a wedding in years, I actually can't remember the last wedding I attended.

I have to say... 

It. Was . Magical.

I also had a great date who ensured that I was well taken care of the entire time. 

Being inside the church made me want to have a wedding of my own one day and I know it'll happen, I just don't want it to happen right now. I guess you just know when you're ready and right now.... I simply am not.

 A friend of mine, Lindani Ndwandwa is a stylist and he hooked me up with this dress which is also part of his Lindani Styling collection. I felt amazing in it and it blended in beautifully with the 'traditional wedding' theme. 

Thank you Lindani. 

So the plan on Friday night was for me to watch a movie! I headed to Greenstone mall and to my disappointment, none of the movies out at the moment screamed "must-watch'' which was pretty sad, but I was delighted  to see all the Christmas decorations and just had to take a pic! The company was also not too shabby, I guess one of the reasons my smile is so wide in the pic! 

I got a chance to see some of my family members on Sunday, partied a bit and saw some friends as well.

My weekend was filled with hearty laughs, great meaningful and meaningless conversations, I met some wonderful people at the wedding, I watched soccer and actually enjoyed it, I got to be driven around, I had lots of ice cream and didn't worry about 'a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips'....

My weekend was PERFECT.

Today

This is what I'm wearing today. 

I'm having quite a chilled day at work and making the most of it before deadlines start creeping in again next week. I have scripts I need to write for the upcoming Zaziwa shoots and need all of my creative juices by the time I start writing. 

In other news, I have been eating non-stop lately and the only explanation I have for this is that  I haven't been to gym in a long while. I automatically eat healthier when I train so I need to get back soon! I've honestly just been very lazy, let's blame it on this heat.

All in all, I am alright.

I'm following happiness

26 around the corner...

So, it looks like I have found the fountain of youth...hehehe. Well, only today. I woke up and literally said to myself "I want to look 21 today' and there I was trying to create a hairstyle that would make me look younger! I also tried to pull off poses that would come across as youthful as possible! Why? I have no freaken idea, it was so random. 

Could it possibly be because I turn 26 in December?  That's one month away! What happened to me being 25? It's always so cool saying you're 25. It's not too old or too young, just right! I can't believe I'll be  in my LATE twenties next month! Before I know it, I'll be a 30 year old woman! 

I'm gonna make 30 look so damn good! 

Looking back at the 25 year old me, I think I did it justice. I made some major moves this year, grown up moves and decisions. I left 2 jobs to allow myself the opportunity to grow and be a better version of me.  I left my permanent comfortable environment that I had been a part of for 5 years to venture into what was at that time still an idea that has eventually turned into an amazing TV show that I get to produce content for and also host! For this , I am grateful.

I also left my job as a radio DJ so I could fully commit to this new venture that set my soul alight.

I won't lie, I miss radio terribly; but more often than not life requires us to break out of our comfort zone. I read somewhere that for maximum performance, one sometimes needs a state of relative anxiety - a space where our stress levels are slightly higher than normal. This space is called 'Optimal anxiety' and it's just outside our comfort zone. I felt a lot of this when I was making my decisions to leave my comfort zones and instead of being scared, I was actually excited about the possibilities that were awaiting my big leap of faith. I anticipated the big jump into the unknown and looking back, I have no regrets ! Life is about taking that chance and making the most of whatever it brings with it because every experience is a lesson and you really can't help but grow and learn from it whether it produces the results you were anticipating or not.

I am excited about my next leap of faith

I am excited about the endless possibilities that are awaiting my need for 'optimal anxiety'

I am excited about diving into the unknown once again

I am excited about life

I am excited about love

I am excited about turning 26.
