Faces @ the<br />
Richer Woman Festival<br />
The maiden<br />
edition of the<br />
Richer Woman<br />
Festival held in the<br />
month of May to<br />
celebrate unique<br />
and profound<br />
women, their stories<br />
as well as<br />
remarkable lifestyle<br />
and finance<br />
principles. The<br />
festival is positioned<br />
to be an annual<br />
event for the<br />
modern woman<br />
who wants to be<br />
wealthy. Below are a<br />
few pictures<br />
capturing amazing<br />
moments and<br />
people at the<br />
festival.<br />
Redeeming the<br />
Priceless MOMENTS<br />
As women, I believe we have ignored the<br />
elephant in the room for far too long. I have<br />
dealt with so much working mom anxiety that<br />
I don’t think I am the only person that has this large<br />
sized elephant sitting comfortably in my mental<br />
space. Life is full of so many priceless moments<br />
and spending time building our businesses and<br />
careers means that we sometimes end up missing<br />
these moments. I remember missing my little boy’s<br />
first steps after waiting so long to witness it. I guess,<br />
sadly, I will have to make do with the blurred video<br />
clip of my little champ taking his first steps.<br />
As a working mom, after wading through traffic after<br />
a hectic day, all I want to do is come home to a<br />
space that is still as pristine as I left it.<br />
In the past, that was a huge challenge because<br />
no matter how consistently my<br />
nanny kept the house clean my<br />
walls kept getting worse by<br />
the day. My little boy can’t<br />
get enough of scribbling on<br />
those walls. The reprimands<br />
and shouts haven’t<br />
seemed to help. I think<br />
the last straw to<br />
break the camel’s<br />
back was when<br />
my nanny<br />
smacked Joshua<br />
for drawing again<br />
on the walls. We had just<br />
repainted, and I believe my nanny<br />
mirrored my frustration because<br />
apparently Josh feels he is the next<br />
Picasso! I had to ask a friend how<br />
she did it because I was getting really<br />
stressed out. Her walls were always so spotless<br />
although she had an army of three young kids.<br />
I am grateful for good friends and great advice<br />
because when I went to a Dulux Colour Centre, I<br />
was amazed at the quality paints on offer. I love<br />
white spaces and I never was brave enough to<br />
paint my house in white because of Josh. However,<br />
after being introduced to Dulux Easycare and<br />
seeing a demonstration, I took the plunge and I am<br />
so glad that I did.<br />
Dulux Easycare is 20 times tougher than regular<br />
matt paint; it is easy to clean and is stain resistant.<br />
This means that when you clean your walls the<br />
stains go off so easily, but the paint stays on. Even<br />
Josh is so shocked at how I have stopped shouting<br />
over the damage he does when he plays in the<br />
house.<br />
Last week Josh and his cousin decided to play<br />
with their food and stained my white walls!<br />
To his surprise, I just smiled and asked<br />
my Nanny to help clean the stains<br />
with soap and water. Life is all about<br />
the priceless moments we share with<br />
the ones we love, and I would rather<br />
spend it making unforgettable<br />
memories. Who knows, we might<br />
have a budding Picasso on our<br />
hands.<br />
Forgiveness is easy with Dulux<br />
Easycare.<br />
