MID-WEEK RELFECTIONS: June Edition


Hello lovelies!
Life lately has been full of activity, so much so that this week I haven't managed to blog much. I have been busy handling business, taking care of Elly as well as being there for my family and friends.

On Life and Motherhood
Elly is now quite settled. Over the last four days we have been moving up and down quite a lot. She loves visiting new places and I try as much as I can to tell her about these places. I started reading to her as she's getting ready to sleep either in the morning or at night. I know that she can't understand what I'm saying to her but I read that by reading to her, she becomes accustomed to different words and sounds and this will help her develop her speech.

On the blog
Audrey's style: 1, 2. 3. 4
This month, I have posted a bit more than I did last month. Last week I even managed to post every single day, sometimes with Elly sitting on my lap! Among the posts that will be making a regular appearance on the blog are my favorite celebrity outfits for the week, outfit posts, style tips and the latest trends you can try.

On Business

Some time back I set up my website and online shop. I have since redone the website. Visit it on www.inches2style.com for a wide collection of formal and casual dresses, various accessories and shoes.

Thank you for stopping by and happy Wednesday!

A labour of love: Long days, bee stings and a global premiere

“Amkeni” roughly translates to “Rise Up” in Kiswahili. This is the call of Chambuko Amkeni, a community-led conservation group involved in mangrove restoration and protection. In 2025, I had the honour of working with them to document their journey on women’s leadership in coastal and marine conservation, climate change adaptation and the blue economy, for a collaboration between Mission inclusion and the BBC StoryWorks'   for the   Living Legacy Series . This was my first time working on a project of this magnitude not to mention one that would have a global audience. To say this has been one of the highlights of the last two years is an understatement. Just thinking about it, my heart swells with pride. I feel like a mother watching her baby grow and come of age (please don't tell my daughter this!). With members of the Chambuko Amkeni Group Leading the production of Amkeni with my amazing colleagues was a true labour of love. A vision come to life thanks to the support o...

Rediscovering myself

A few blog posts ago I alluded to struggles I'd been facing for a few years now. I said that I would address these issues here soon but honestly, I didn't know when would be a good time. So I thought that today is as good a day as any. Last year I was diagnosed with trauma. It had been years in the making, a result of an emotionally abusive relationship and years of challenging events with seemingly no respite in sight. Although I had eventually gotten out of the relationship, I had unconsciously allowed this person's opinions of me become so ingrained in me that I had lost all knowledge of my former self. I lacked self-confidence. I blamed myself for many things that had happened in my life. I was perpetually sad and struggled to find even the smallest things to smile about. I had no motivation to do even those things that I loved. I would take photos and see my smiling face but deep down I knew that was just a front. I was broken, a shell of my former self. Now I'm no...

Blogging Challenge Day 13 | 5 Ways I Learned To Be Happy (No Matter The Circumstances)

Like everybody else, I began this year on a very positive note. I hoped for a better year than I had had in 2017. I had a plan that I laid out and I was determined to accomplish a lot of what was on my 2018 list. I once heard someone say that sometimes you plan and it doesn't work out not because you haven't put in enough effort but because God has other plans for you. So the first three months of 2018 were completely upside down for me. Everything seemed to be going wrong. I won't lie to you and tell you that I carried on happy in spite of everything that wasn't working. I struggled to smile, to wake up in the morning, to face my day, to be around people. However, I was determined to find lasting happiness. I wanted to find a way that would ensure that I remained happy even when life seemed to be going against me. I did my research and tried out a few things and found the 5 ways listed below that I have now been putting into practice for the last four or so month...
