Why I Shaved My Head and Why I’m Absolutely Loving It!

-

So, I did it. I went bold—literally. I shaved my head bald, and let me tell you, it’s been a rollercoaster of reactions. Some people think I look stunning (which, duh, I do), while others… well, let’s just say they need to catch up with the times. It’s 2025, folks! People are out here identifying as objects, and yet some still think women should fit into a tiny little box of what’s “acceptable.” Spoiler alert: I’m not here for it.

The Bold Move

Cutting off all my hair was a big decision, but one I don’t regret for a second. I mean, who needs long locks when you can rock a bald head like a boss? Sure, I’ve had a few idiots laugh or give me nasty glares (shoutout to the giggling beauty girl at my Thursday campaign meeting—I almost slapped her). But honestly, their reactions say more about them than me.

Here’s the thing: people don’t know my story. Maybe I shaved my head for a health reason. Maybe I did it for the vibes (which, in my case, is 100% true). Either way, it’s none of their business. I’m out here living my best life, and if they can’t handle it, that’s their problem.

The Perks of Being Bald

Let’s talk about the upsides of going bald because, trust me, there are plenty:

  1. Confidence Level: Sky High
    There’s something about rocking a bald head that makes you feel unstoppable. I walk into a room, and I own it. No hair, no problem.
  2. Extra Sleep, Please!
    My morning routine has been cut down by 10-15 minutes. No more bad hair days, no more styling—just wake up, moisturize, and go.
  3. Skincare for the Win
    I’ve been using Ethnogegics Products to treat and condition my scalp, and let me tell you, my head has never felt better. Soft, smooth, and glowing—what more could I ask for?

The Weird (But Funny) Moments

Of course, going bald comes with its share of awkward moments. Like the time my coworker asked if he could touch my head. Was it weird? Maybe. Did I laugh? Absolutely. I mean, why not? It’s all part of the experience.

And let’s not forget the giggles and stares from people who clearly haven’t evolved past outdated beauty standards. Honestly, it’s 2025—can we stop policing how women should look? I’m over here thriving, and if you can’t see that, maybe you need to check your own insecurities.

Why I’m Keeping This Look

Despite the occasional negativity, I’ve decided to keep this look for a while. Why? Because I love it. It’s freeing, empowering, and honestly, it suits me. Plus, it’s a great filter for shallow-minded people. If you can’t handle me at my baldest, you don’t deserve me at my… well, still bald.

Final Thoughts

Going bald was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It’s taught me to embrace my confidence, ignore the haters, and focus on what really matters—how I feel about myself. And guess what? I feel amazing.

So, to anyone thinking about shaving their head: do it. Life’s too short to worry about what other people think. And to the gigglers and judgers out there: maybe it’s time to rethink your priorities.

In the meantime, I’ll be over here, rocking my bald head and living my best life. Catch up if you can.

Exploring the Best Buffet Restaurants in Cape Town with My Kids

-
As a mom of three (plus my niece!), I’m always on the lookout for fun things to do with my little crew. We’ve pretty much done every kid-friendly activity Cape Town has to offer—play parks, aquariums, museums, you name it! But now, I want to explore something different: food. I want my kids to grow up comfortable with different types of food, flavors, and dining experiences. Why? Because I remember how nerve-wracking it was as a young adult to go out with friends or colleagues and not know what to order. I didn’t want to embarrass myself, so I often stuck to the same safe choices. But food should be an adventure, not a stressor! That’s why I’m on a mission to find the best buffet restaurants in Cape Town —places where my kids can try different foods in a relaxed and fun setting. A buffet is perfect because they can explore new flavors without the pressure of committing to just one dish. What I’m Looking for in a Great Buffet Restaurant Since I’m taking the whole squad along, I have a ...
