About Me

Hi, I’m Luyanda đź‘‹
I’m a South African student in my early twenties, learning how to take care of my mind and body—without expensive gym memberships, supplements, or complicated routines. I believe in keeping things simple, sustainable, and accessible for everyone. I started Wellness Whimsy during a season where I felt tired, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to care for myself on a student budget. I wanted peace—not pressure.

Why I Created This Blog

I got tired of seeing wellness content that felt out of reach. You know the type—perfect smoothies, luxury skincare, and workouts that need a personal trainer. But that’s not real life for most of us.

So I created this blog as a space for real, relatable wellness—the kind that fits between load-shedding schedules, exams, and tight pockets. Whether it’s tiny habits, mental health support, or simple movement, I share what’s actually helped me feel better without breaking the bank.

Who This Is For

This space is for:

  • Students who feel stuck or burnt out
  • Anyone looking for simple ways to feel better
  • Young women who want real self-care—not just what’s trending
  • If that sounds like you, then welcome home.

Let’s Stay Connected

I’m still learning, growing, and figuring things out—just like you. But I believe we’re better when we share what we know. Thanks for stopping by Wellness Whimsy. I hope you find something here that makes you feel lighter, softer, and seen.
