Hi there darlings, welcome to the month of May, the month of ASSURANCE apparently �.

Today’s post is an interview with Ms Abundance Joshua , the CEO of Abysmakeover. I have been watching her for a while and she’s nothing short of inspiring. This post has taken a week and some to make because of our clashing schedules and I am grateful it is finally here.
