An event took place on 14 November and I have fina An event took place on 14 November and I have finally put together a blog post on it.

The Purposefully Influencing Awards honors those who not only influence but do it with an impact.

I watched the video of the event and a few things stood out to me:

🏆 The founder of the event, Pearl Holdstock, shared how she had been influenced by an important woman in her life, and that is why acknowledging these people is important.

🏆Ally won best Homemaking content! Well done, Ally!

🏆 @princessyanja gave us some inspiration and told us that we were stars, and in being ourselves, that is how we shine.

🏆"I am because someone else did not show up." The importance of showing up from @mbalinhlaphoo

🏆Best social media entrepreneur @mbalibezuidenhout shared how making a plan has got her places.

🏆 I'm so proud of @funmammasa Judy! She won best blog. Her hard work has paid off and I appreciate her support as well.

🏆 From best make up content creator @colourme_sim Simphiwe: "If they don't give you a seat at the table, build your own table."

Lots of sparkle at the @thesheeoworkshop led by @y Lots of sparkle at the @thesheeoworkshop led by @your_motivationalcoach and @her_mindset_mentor /@millennial_mama_sa 

The company was good, the food was the delicious and the insights were flowing.

One thing I took away was this: you must feel enough in yourself before other people think you are. 

I also had fun starting a vision board and painting.

We also had a secret Santa swap and I was blown away by @nakita21 's amazing gift. She embellished a notebook, manicure set and cup with the themes of the workshop: dream, design and do.

No more excuses now for me with this powerhouse of inspiration behind me!

What a treat! I enjoyed my pedicure with @nailsssb What a treat! I enjoyed my pedicure with @nailsssbynella. Not only did she make me bold enough to go for gel, she also fixed a broken nail. It's a lovely space and very close to my house. 
Plus she gave me water and pretzels! And a little gift afterwards with a Loyalty card.

Self care is all it's cracked up to be.

Take some time to look after yourself. You need it. 

Tell me something you did for yourself this week?
