Our 
Story

Get to Know Us

In the whirlwind of daily life, I wear many hats - wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, student and employee. Each day feels like a relentless cycle of responsibilities and obligations, leaving very little room for personal growth and discovery. In a single word - exhausting.

It is easy to lose oneself in the routine and to forget the unique individual behind all these roles. 

That's why I've started this blog: to embark on a journey of self-discovery, exploring new passions, interests, and facets of life that often get overshadowed by everyday demands. Through this blog, I aim to add fresh, enriching experiences to my life and invite my readers to join me on this transformative journey. Together, we can rediscover the joy of living and the thrill of new adventures. Here's to getting our sparkle back one post at a time!

Our Story

Coffee and Laptop in Bed

Uprooting my life from South Africa to the Netherlands was a whirlwind of new experiences and self-discovery. Every street, every face was fresh, each day brought novel excitement and unfamiliar challenges. But as the months rolled on, the initial thrill began to wane, revealing a profound truth: no matter where we find ourselves, the essence of our experiences remains strikingly similar. The daily routines and the core of our lives persist, regardless of the backdrop. Happiness, therefore, is not found in constant change but in how we navigate our everyday lives. It's in the meticulous art of budgeting, the thrill of dabbling in cryptocurrencies, the joy of learning new skills, the escape found in books, and the spontaneity of new adventures. Together, we can embark on a journey of discovery, finding fulfillment in the ordinary and the extraordinary, in the familiar and the new. In essence, it is all exhausting but together we can find the sparkle. 

At the Exhausted Sparkle, I believe in the power of storytelling and sharing experiences. The mission is to create a community where every individual feels heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we can embrace diversity, learn from each other, and spread positivity.
