My story

My name is Debs and thank you for checking out my little corner of the bloggersphere. I’ll start off with telling you a little bit about myself.

I grew up in Zimbabwe (Southern part of Africa) and went to dance school before realising the performing world wasn’t so much for me. Too cut throat if you ask me. I moved overseas after uni and tried a few different jobs while trying to find myself, before settling on owning my own business and working as a Virtual Assistant.

I discovered the glorious world of blogging for myself in November 2020, and what started as a blog to go along side my business became a lifestyle blog and my escape away for the tough side of life.

I hope you enjoy what you read here :)

Quotes from my favs

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

Walt Disney

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

J. K. Rowling

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.

Dr. Seuss
