Hi I’m Jonelle

Jonelle

Welcome to my blog, I'm Jonelle; a writer, ostomate, Community Development Practitioner and I live in Cape Town with my husband Gerard, our son Oden and our four pets. We are currently in the process of moving to New Zealand.

I'm a huge fan of letting go of who we are supposed to be in favour of embracing who we are!

Spoiler: This blog is about being a woman in the world today, it's raw, it's real and I'm unapologetically authentic!

  • This photo is one of my favourite photos of myself, taken on the ferry to Robben Island. It was my first visit and I was so apprehensive about seeing
Where Nelson Mandela
was kept prisoner. I cried for most of the tour. Thankful for the sacrifices that man made, so that I could live a life based on freedom and equality. He literally gave his freedom so that I could have mine.
Anyway its just a picture of a girl on a boat but it always reminds me of that feeling I get when I think about how before he Changed the world, I would have been nothing in my own land.

  • Throwback to that time I was so cool at my kitchen tea. So much has changed since then. My life is exactly and nothing like I pictured it would be. I'm truly so lucky to be here!

  • Collected my very old empty @maccosmetics containers that I've had for years and swapped them for this lipstick. Yay free stuff!!
It's #Amourous if you're interested in the colour.

  • How pretty is this dessert?! Sooo yummy looking. I didn't eat it though, I'm on the whole lose weight train because I'm quite sick of being uncomfortable with myself. I know I should just love myself the way I am but honestly, I just miss the old me. Anyway, this dessert was apparently very yummy. .
