Guys please plan your birthdays. Put all your enery into it. Even if you’re spending it alone. Pick your fav restaurant, reserve yourself a table. Buy yourself a pretty dress/outfit. Put on some make up. Take lots of pics. Stop waiting on someone else to celebrate you❤️
Mamam wayengumntu wamabongo. Ekhaya we celebrated every. single. thing😅
But my mom ensured birthdays were special from as early as when I was 2. I look at the pictures and my heart smiles. I remember you mama and thank you so much Qhudeni❤️
My mom ensured I was always on point🤣 Check F1: Polka dot co-ord ✅
F2: Paperbag waist jeans✅
It’s always been about the clothes, it always will be❤️
My mum did this right up until I was about 13 in Std 5. Then obvs in high school I’d want the money and go shopping and or organise a “sleepover” with my friends. Varsity we’d obviously get wasted😅
Decided to go back to the birthday traditions when I started working...
Year 25.
Booked myself a week away to Cape Town, was the first time I went without my family. Served looks at a random guy at Beerhouse bought me a tray of Tequilas and said he wanted to take care of me🔥🤣❤️
Year 26
Booked a couple of rooms with my friends at a game lodge and we had a ball🤣❤️
Year 27
Booked myself a weekend away to Joburg. Did all the young people’s touristy things. I wore all white, all weekend, because ndindim🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
Year 28
Organised a little getaway to the Dirty East, oooh boy did we get wasted this weekend. Was absolutely amazing❤️
Year 29
Worst year of my life. Was living in Joburg without a job, slowly slipping into depression. My mom asked me what I wanted to do and I said nothing, except money to apply for Law School🙏🏾 Zintl then suprised me with cake and VIP tickets to the Spring Fiesta🔥
Year 30
It was my first year of Law School in my dream city and my mom was paying for everything. So that was way more than enough as a gift!
In addition, she gave a wad of cash and said I should book my girls and I a fire weekend in Port Alfred or...
Take the trip to Thailand I have always been talking about. Instead I took the money and bought myself a phone and went shopping😅
Then got to my flat spent, drank champers and passed out. That’s when I knew I was old🤣
I also posted my TBT birthday pictures on FB. Thanking my mom for everything, it was if I knew it was my last birthday with her around. I’m glad I celebrated her on that particular birthday
Year 31
Booked a girls weekend to St Francis. Bestest weekend everrrr
Soft life✨
