"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, So you can be whom you were meant to be in the first place" - summersaldana.com


Where I am today is because of everything I had to unlearn. I was a people-pleaser, a Daddy's girl, striving to be the best and look the best. Even after our first daughter was born this was the race I ran. Boy, it was just so draining and exhausting! Then came Lara, whose name means God's gracious gift, our second daughter. Our differently-abled daughter. Everything I had believed in and tried to be fell apart after Lara. But through her, I met and came to love the person of Grace, Jesus. The one who says: Come as you are and I will give you Rest. I became my heavenly Father's girl. One of the Royal family so to speak. Bit by bit the lies were exposed and I saw and learnt the Truth.
 
BAREFOOT IN BURGUNDY PERSONAL & WARDROBE STYLING  was born in May 2010 after the trendiest girl on the planet, my sister 
Francein, trained me. 
After 8 years of working with women in SA & Namibia, I found their stories of self-rejection broke my heart. It opened my eyes to the truth: the petite woman and the one the world calls overweight, believe EXACTLY the same thing. In the process of listening to and seeing women's struggles, my heart was healed. I know yours can be healed too! You can walk in confidence and learn to love yourself the way you look today. I'll teach you easy chic steps and expose the lies that keep you in a mental prison.
Other blessings in my life are the love of my life, Greg, who I have been married to for 33 years and our super special four girls, Marle, Lara, Esther and Emma.
You have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety. Be brave! 

with heart and passion, Marinda
