Monday Morning Coffee Break

source

If you're anything like me, Mondays are slow at the best of times. It always takes me a little longer to get things done first thing on a Monday morning, but I find that a little dose of inspiration helps to get me motivated and excited about tackling my to-do list. So here, for your reading pleasure, is a list of links that I love today. Make yourself a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy!

1. As a new mom, I've really been struggling to get back into the swing of things at work whilst coming to grips with my new role as a mommy (not to mention trying to be a good wife, friend, sister...) I love reading this series on one of my favourite local blogs (run by two working moms that I really admire).

2. You may have heard of Kim Gray, the always-impeccable stylist and lifestyle blogger who recently announced her pregnancy and, with that, the launch of her new website, Kim Gray Petite. If you're expecting (or plan on falling preggers ever) bookmark this site now. Seriously. I wish it existed while I was pregnant!

3. Are you still trying to master the art of winged liner? This. You can thank me later.

4. We all know that the best kind of therapy is retail therapy, right? Right. So hop on over here to get your hands on Soap & Glory, the iconic UK range that's just launched in SA. Finally!

5. Are you still hanging onto the lipstick you bought on Matric holiday? I hate to break it to you, but it might be time to let it go. And while you're at it, have a look at this handy guide to find out whether it's time to toss that mascara/ eye shadow/ moisturiser.
