Becoming a yogi baby

I wish I knew I had sweet and soft emotional releases at the tip of my fingers earlier in my life. Indulging in this beautiful practice could’ve saved me from all the jail time. Just kidding, but not knowing how incredibly good yoga works for my body feels like I’ve wasted so much time on exercises that never really resonated with me. I've fallen in love with the calm but energetic endorphins that infiltrates my mind after I’ve given my body so much well deserved love. With a balanced posture and a sound mind, one can easily get addicted to grounded euphoria, one of the most soothing feelings I’ve ever experienced during exercise.


Obstacles are the cost of greatness, especially when it comes to pushing limits and seeing what your body allows you to do. I’ve always believed in this huge misconception that one needs to be extremely flexible for yoga to be enjoyable and even doable, but I’ve learned that it’s the furthest thing from the truth. Yoga is for every girl that wants to enter into a world of blissful tranquility. It builds the beautiful pathway to a deep and meaningful understanding between you and the forever evolving movements of your body. It improves your posture and it’s incredibly beneficial for your overall health and state of mind. Escaping into this soothing practice also tones the muscles and opens the lungs, something I can’t seem to get enough of.


“Make the pose work for your body, don’t make your body work for the pose” is what Lezy Pretorius, yoga instructor and guru lives by. I absolutely loved this saying, because it really motivates people to look beyond the limitations, they think they might have during the practice. Lezy helped me to enter the yogi world with the tools and knowledge I needed to strengthen my body’s posture to its fullest. I’ve been exceedingly happy to have found my Zen and drown in all the tranquility yoga has to offer.

Bloom through winter with MUD and me

Nature has the most beautiful way of showing us that seasons can change the appearance of our natural surroundings, however winter weather is not so much fun for the skin. Cold weather and low humidity levels result in dry air which ultimately steals moisture from the skin. Flawless skin is a huge contributing factor when it comes to the end result of your makeup application as a whole. You can’t help how your skin reacts to climate changes but girl, you definitely have more control than you think.  1. How to retain your natural moisture to ensure that gorgeous supple glow. Wash your face with lukewarm water; remember any form of heat robs the skin from moisture. A good over night moisturizer is key when it comes to maintaining that beautiful radiant look and remember to drink enough water during the day, our skin needs hydration from the inside too.  2. Exfoliation must be a crucial part in your skincare routine during winter.   My favourite homemade mask consists of the...

Stop the clock

Let's be real , we all have this ideal version of ourselves wrapped up in our minds and everything we do and decide is based on reaching the life and body we want that person to live in. What the exact expectations of the perfect version of you look like might be completely different from mine, but we do have one big common denominator - we both forget to stop and smell the roses in the meantime. If you're a restless little perfectionist that sets the bar high for yourself and others then I hope you would feel inspired by this quick word spill of something I had to come to terms with for the sake of my own mental wellbeing. Stop the clock. I seldom simmer in the feeling of accomplishment when I reach my goals. One part of me feels like it's a waste of time and the other part is already chasing the next big thing.  Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being a determined hustler, I am happy to be part of a goal-driven generation but I've realize...

Life is like a desert, you only regret the oasis you didn't drink from

  I feel like a young tree that's been repotted in new soil, new exciting environmental conditions, and pruned to the branch in order to survive the great transition from Africa to Europe. My favorite and familiar natural habitat, best friends, loving family and the carefully planned daily routines, under which I recieved so much shelter and safety for my well nestled South-African excistence, are no more. I've been uprooted and I've finally reached somewhat of a stabilizing point where I've processed just enough to let you guys in on what has been the most adventurous and trying time of my life. As many of you know I was pretty well settled in the comfort that came from the close to perfect big city life my small town heart has been blessed with. The moments I got to savor whilst watching the sunrise from my cute little balcony, teaching students from across the country, having my dream job as a Makeup Lecturer and being around my nearest and dearest was enough to ...
