The Battle for a New Normal
Since November I have been watching the news of the coronavirus and how it spread so fast to present day. The whole world is shook, lockdowns have been enforced and all activities, work, travel plans have been abandoned until it is deemed safe again.

Mental Health: Free Your Mind
Mental health is something that is crucial to happiness and well being. I firmly believe we all need to nurture our precious minds because we are more than our thoughts.

The Reality of Life Without Electricity
The term “load shedding” in Zambia is what “Brexit” is to the UK and one word sums it all up, disruptive.

Itezhi Tezhi Sunsets
Took another road trip to a quaint little town in the south west of Zambia called Itezhi Tezhi which has a man made dam constructed on the Kafue river. It is about a 5 hour drive from Lusaka, most of the road is done up but some parts are a work in progress with rough…
Skincare: No Sulphates Please!
