“Grow through what you Go Though”

Oh Fancy meeting you here. This doesn’t look like the old MissKymmiee Posts that you are used to now or is it? Well this informal post is a new fun thing I will be doing every end of the month. You might have had of it, if you haven’t am about to blow your own mind. Its called Taking Stock incase I didn’t mention it. And re-reading it I just noticed i did not and am too lazy to re-edit. Its popular among bloggers and in East Africa, This is Ess is the queen of this. I think she has done almost 27 of this kind of posts.

I will be Taking Stock every last day of the month alongside giving you a brief inside into how my entire month has been and what I did accomplish and what I missed, that sort of bits. Think of this as page 1 of 12 in Taking Stock. Are you excited? Because I know I am, grab yourself a drink and some popcorn because its going to be one hell of an exciting read, Without further ado, Ladies and Gents…

Taking Stock 1 of 12

• Making:

Making plans to revamp my blog and get my YouTube channel up and running. I know I literally revamped my blog with a new theme not longer than 2 months ago, but am waiting on this one customised theme and I will be done for a while, But again they say if you aren’t changing you aint’ growing right? I don’t know who said it, probably this are my imaginary friends speaking to me again…

• Eating:

Eating Chapati and Stir Fried Veggies next to my colleagues having a chicken salad. Okay now I miss meat, chicken to be exact. But this whole eat clean and Vegan lifestyle I am adopting is doing great so far… Incase you missed my Healthy Eating Post do check it out. I have a few a few easy sample diet plans for you,. Let me know what you think.

• Drinking:

Drinking my 7th Glass of water and its only 1425 hours. About to go for a refill. Talk about a healthy lifestyle. I have literally kicked all other drinks in my life. Says this after I had 2 bottles of wine over the weekend Ha! But really though, apart from the many rounds of water I have been gulping during the day, the only other drink I have is black coffee with 2 sugars in the morning. High key miss the Milk in the coffee though.

• Listening:

To the Audio book, GirlBoss by Sofia Amrouso as narrated by Sarah Jes Austell and am in my feels. Because I barely have time to myself anymore so listening audio books on the go has become my new thing. This book especially is giving me such motivational feels and if you are in the content creation industry and haven’t read this, I suggest you get the audio version of it. Its brilliant. TRUST ME!

• Wanting:

To move out of my brother’s place. He leaves so far out of the city and its a hustle to wake up at 5 every morning only to get at work around 8. I get to work tired and I leave tired, It’s a tired vicious circle. One of the many reasons am slacking in content creation really! But its a temporary problem, I will have this fixed soon soon and Honestly I can’t wait.

• Creating:

Blog content on  schedule and I have only failed to have one post up and running out of the fourteen I was to post this month. and out of the thirteen posted, I only failed to have one posted at 0800 hours. Man am acing this consistency thing, even with the full-time career girl life am leading on the other side.

• Enjoying:

Discovering new places in Dar and I can’t wait to start vlogging and sharing my discoveries with you lot. Especially now that am just beginning to know some parts of the City without getting lost or going on a totally opposite place to where am supposed to be. Ha!

• wasting:

No time on the unnecessary things. Having 2 jobs and leading a double life will do that to you. Every single minute that am not working has been consciously directed and dedicated to building my brand and personal growth and am loving this whole new development.

• Creating and uploading:

New contents on Lifestyle, Healthy Living, Fitness Motivation, Blogging 101 (Which has been renewed for season 2 early this year) and lastly without forgetting some bomb ass fashion posts and a few collaborations. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday the posts go live at 0800 hours like clock work.  Just incase I forget to update them in my social medias.

• Enjoying:

The weekends. Actually scratch that, the ride back from work on Friday and knowing I don’t have to set the alarm the next morning. Oh Men! Well that and then the entire weekend. Which mostly consist of a lot of things and then its Sunday Evening, where work reality bites me in the Ass!

• Loving:

The new Career girl life. Especially the end of the months where I receive the Account Debited text in my phone. Men oh men! I live for such pleasures. I love my Content creation, don’t get me wrong but being in a place where I am doing it all just makes me love my job more and more and the fact that am not forced to take up paid works to make a couple bucks just cause I need the money gives me a very solid ground.

• Hoping:

To get new Camera Gear. A 50 mm 1.8 Prime lens, 3 Soft box Studio Lights and oh Yes spoil myself with some new clothes. (This is definitely happening later in the Day!!)

• Marvelled:

At the growth of content creators in Tanzania. The industry is picking up and I am so glad to be a part of it all and experience the growth on the front row VIP seat. Okay maybe not VIP but definitely front row worthy.

• Smelling

Smelling my Mum’s Perfume which I intentionally borrowed for keeps sake and now am wondering on how I can con her for a new bottle. Girls and their guilty pleasures, right?

• Wearing:

A lot of color and am liking it. A backless yellow top a black jeans and some yellow peep toes that are a little too loud for the office but I don’t seem to mind, I hope my co-workers don’t as well! Am lucky my office has no weird silly outfit rules because I CAN’T.

• Watching:

Famously in Love and The Bold Type. Definitely Loving the two and now I feel low-key bad for binge watching the shows because non of the shows have the season two confirmed date. Uhhh see my life.

• Looking:

At my phone buzzing in with a notification reminder, I need to snack to have my daily calories in take in check. (No Pun intended) Incase you want to have this amazing free app in your life, here you go, thank me later; Lifesum.

• Anxious:

To go home, It’s what I think of after Lunch. Am I Becoming a Grand Ma?

• Wondering?

Why I don’t have my Tips on and why am not even bothered by it. It only came to my attention when a colleague from work asked me if I had cut my nails. I answered yes awkwardly, amazed she didn’t know those where my false-ys

There you have it, My 1208 maybe more word count on Taking Stock 1 of 12 and I gotta say, It was harder than how I envisioned. But am done and that’s exciting. Time to Schedule this and Plan for my February Posts and finish the 9th Glass of water. Thank you for indulging my Little space.
