Hi, there! I’m
Mariska

I am a newly established personal blogger and enthusiast of all things beautiful, inspiring and sustainable. I also need to admit that I have a slight obsession with clothes and can be categorized as a coffee and food snob. I’m also a full-time member of staff at my company, wife and owner of two very spoiled cat babies, Punjab and Dehli. I started dating my husband, Lean, in 2010, after having met each other for the first time a couple of years earlier. And, he has been my partner in every adventure since. After graduating with a Law Degree from the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa, I spent five years working as a legal professional. A couple of years later, I again graduated from the University of Stellenbosch, this time with a Post Grad in Financial Planning. And so, in 2016 I opted for a career change and joined a global financial administration company, which brought us to Mauritius in 2018. We have settled into our new life on this beautiful island and have adapted to the change of pace. I have always believed myself to be self-motivated, adventurous, quirky and hilarious. However, somewhere between life’s challenges, social and familial expectations and at times, a disconnect with my earlier self, this picture of myself has become faded. So, at the age of 35 I have decided to no longer wait on things to change, but to change my habits and daily routines so that I can re-align and reignite a healthy and blooming relationship with myself and my life. And, I have decided to use this blog to keep myself accountable for doing just that while sharing my experiences and reflections with you.
