2 years ago, I decided to quit style and lifestyle blogging.
I was losing my voice, failing to measure the impact of my work, and in need for something more, bigger, better.
I decided to quit blogging so I could pursue my media career as a producer and publisher.
So what have I been up to?
Since I quit style/lifestyle blogging, I have published my first book (By The End of Your Teens), done one TV Show (My Malawi), created a Newsletter (Morning Star – which is published right here on this site), and currently building up some shows and documentaries/docu-series.
To keep up with our upcomin work, please follow these social media pages:
and
I will clarify at a later stage what all these brands and products are about.
So I am back???
2 years later, yes I am back to style and lifestyle blogging, officially.
What does that mean, for me, and my media career?
It means that I have invested 2 years of my life in building products which I have faith will do well, even without my every day hand in them.
That being the case, I realise I am finally getting some time to do what I love – which is writing, and style/lifestyle blogging.
It means that I am still a producer and a publisher, but now have enough time to blog too.
Unlearning, and Relearning?
I have spent the past 2 years unlearning every single thing. I stopped doing right about everything. I stopped working out. I stopped wearing make up. I stopped combing my hair. I even stopped going to church. I really stripped down to zero, and I love it.
Most of my unlearning had to do with stripping away everything that I did for validation. I wanted to know what I like when the world loses its opinions. It was a psychological journey, which turned to plenty emotional, and later physical. It’s been such a beautiful experience!
Right now, I am relearning – retracing my steps, finding what I like – keeping some old preferences, discarding some, and discovering new ones.
The Rebrand
As I rebranded, and separated all the products stated above to become independent entities from me, I have also been able to strip BY NTHA MEDIA back down to what it was originally about – me, sharing on life, and lifestyle.
I am more precise in what you expect to find here – so let me clarify:
What we champion
Wellness, Travel, Lifestyle, and Advocacy.

This article was to specifically (re) introduce Chic Redefined. so let’s do that.
About Chic Redefined
It is my 25th year, and I feel like I am finally growing into womanhood.
I find myself naturally wanting to cover up more (Finally! You’re welcome mom!) I have a deep desire to be taken seriously as an entrepreneur; and at the core of that is my image.
I have invested thousands of dollars in my wardrobe, and I would love to share, again, the beautiful simplicity that is my style with you.
I will, as usual, be telling where I buy my stuff, and how I style some pieces.
I am still making amends with beauty products and make up. I, on occassion, rock a rep lippy – but on most days prefer just a tinted lipbalm.
Maybe along the way, we can chat about capitalism, consummerism, and all othe such things that run the beauty industry.
About this Outfit
The pants!
Yes the pants!
I got these pants on Pretty Little Things for $5. I got about 10 wide-legged pants because I am clearly obsessed, and I mean, can you blame me?
The top
The top is thrifted! MK1,500 ($2) baby!
The Bag
I got the bag in Cambodia 2 years ago. There is a funny story surrounding this bag, but I will talk about another day.
The heels
These are some lost ink’s I have been dying to own from Asos. Should be about $30.
Accessories
This is a Pierre Cardin set.
