Self-Care

When you're in a hurry

your vision gets blurry

People start to fade

and we start to evade

the things that keep us going

as we can't keep rowing

in this river of despair

although we would be easy to repair

but what we rather do

is watching ourselves get blue

and letting ourselves go

cause we keep saying no

to everything that could make us glow

Don't let yourself go

I've always been the type of person to take pride in my appearance, call me vain or whatever but that's the way I grew up, as long as I can remember...haha I was always a tidy kid and always kept my room tidy and clean, always kept myself tidy and clean, I think I was in my first year in Intermediate when I started using lip balm and lip gloss haha and from that time on I have always carried lippy with me, never leave the house without it cos I don't like the look and feeling of dry lips lol! and it stayed that way right through till college and up until now, oh.. not just the part about the lippy lol but everything else. I am forever cleaning my already spotless house and always keeping my house tidy, I like to look good and just look after my self, and not only looking after my own hygiene but I always make sure my kids are kept clean and tidy also, even though it is a bit difficult at times with them being their ages (3 & 2) because they just love to make a mess! But even with my own hubby, before we got married I made sure he was always keeping his room tidy and clean and most importantly himself lol made it clear to him that I don't put up with untidyness and that's what he would have to pick up as a habit if he were to live with me haha! So yes, when we got married I did teach him how to clean the house, how to do chores around the house, how to hang the washing the way I want hahaha and so on. I've always liked to take care of myself, my personal hygiene, my appearance. I grew up disliking untidyness and uncleanliness, because my parents raised me to not be untidy and always be hygienic, so to this day I just can't stand untidy places and people tbh (to be honest) lol. In college I was a gym freak and exercised daily, I maintained a good figure and always made sure my appearance was neat and tidy, you would never see me at school with messy hair and a dirty uniform and dirty shoes, but that's just the way I was. Before hubby and I got married, I told him that when we do get married, I don't want to be one of those couples who use marriage as an excuse to get fat and ugly, and I'm being serious lol told him that I don't want us to 'let go' of ourselves and be like some couples who get married and then just not care about their appearance. We've been together almost 7 years and married 4 years and a bit, and 2 kids later (3rd on the way), I can honestly say that I am happy with where we are, I am happy with where I am, and proud! Yes our bodies have been like a yo-yo the last four years with our weight going up and down, but even when I weighed my heaviest, almost 90 kgs, yes 90 kgs, which is actually really heavy and unhealthy for a person my height (5.4 ft) I still took pride in my appearance and learnt how to add fitness into my daily routine and eventually shed the weight slowly but healthily. I helped hubby too because he did gain a lot of weight and wasn't happy with his body, he would lose it but then he wouldn't stick to the healthy lifestyle and found it hard to adjust to it, so that failed most times, guess he also found it hard to be motivated lol but I never gave up on him and reassured him I'd always be here to help him with weight loss and fitness and that we can work out together and motivate each other once I have given birth and recovered lol. It doesn't matter what relationship status you are in, what age you are, how many kids you have, don't let that define you or hold you back! You can still take pride in your appearance and dress up and rock a pair of stilettos and a nice dress, you can still wear makeup and do yourself up even if you are just staying home haha you can still make yourself look good and look good for your man even if he doesn't do the same, who cares! With my current situation (8 months pregnant) I am so damn happy for myself for maintaining a healthy weight and I can honestly say that this pregnancy is most probably the best I have looked! I don't want to brag, I have carried very well with my pregnancies and instead of gaining weight, I always lose weight, but with this pregnancy I feel sexy and confident and have taken such good care of myself the past 8 months. I think as a woman, if you ever get pregnant and go on to have a successful pregnancy, it's important to not let yourself go because some women do use pregnancy as an excuse to be lazy and untidy and to not look good anymore. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing and women need to embrace that, and still take pride in your appearance at the same time. I always like to look good for hubby even if we have been together for years, but not just for him but for myself, I still wear heels and still dress up when/if we ever go out or just going to church I love to wear a nice outfit with nice shoes and my face beat with makeup and hair done nicely, I still take selfies almost every day even with a big belly cos that ain't gonna stop me from loving the camera lol! I still post selfies every week haha and like to show off my bump. But that's just me! So to all the ladies, if I can still feel sexy and confident being 8 months pregnant and still be able to look after myself and my personal appearance, whilst having two toddlers to raise as well, then you can too! Stop making excuses, stop letting go of yourself and start taking pride in your appearance, I'm not saying to build yourself up with so much self-pride because that's not a good thing lol but at least with your appearance have some, and set standards for yourself, and if you already do, then that's great! Haha but if you don't feel sexy and confident, then do something about it! Learn to love yourself inside and out and respect your body and remember, You are beautiful! 😘 Sincerely Robyn ❤️
