Esrida Brits

Hi! I am Esrida, wife to one and mother to two beautiful little girls. I was born and bred in Pretoria, in sunny South Africa. I run on coffee and by choice only wear makeup when I have to look socially acceptable. The rest of the time you will find me in my active wear. I believe that if you don’t dream big, you might as well leave it. So I am slowly building an empire, based on my own terms of success.

I serve overwhelmed and stressed individuals by helping them change their priorities, to simplify their lives to be more fulfilling in order to reach their goals.

I believe that life should be easy, carefree, and simple. Although not always possible, we can each do our part in trying to accomplish this not only for ourselves but for others as well. There is no greater joy in life than knowing you helped someone else to smile bigger, laugh louder, or love deeper.

why a life lead simply?

My vision behind a Life lead simply is to share my experiences and knowledge on how to make your life a little less complicated, because I believe there is an absolute joy in a simple life.

A life lead simply is also my creative outlet, my venting space, a place where I can go and hide after a long day or share my happiness. The aim is not to be a blogger, but rather a guide intent on sharing my life, my story, my challenges and my achievements. Join me on this journey, share your own experiences and get to know the girl behind the screen.

Who else is part of my little tribe?

The Husband

One of the most stable and dependable people I have the pleasure and honour to know. We basically grew up together, and are (mostly) happily married. I drive him insane and he drives me nuts. Together we have 2 beautiful little girls, and he will do anything and everything for them. And for me. He is our hero, and I don’t even think he knows it…

He is a gamer, with a law degree and a new-found passion for marketing and business strategy. He specialises in labour law, and is currently busy with his MBA. A rockstar through and through!

A1

Our first born, she is our sensitive child. Quick to feel the mood of a room, she feels responsible to fix everybody’s problems. She reminds me to be gentler, more impulsive (like I really need a reminder) and more loving. She is not great with touch, so you need to show her love and affection in a different way. Words matter, and she remembers almost everything that you say. The good and the bad. My sunshine social child, she brings the energy and vibrancy to any gathering!

A2

Our second baby, and our last born. We always thought you couldn’t get a busier child than A1. Then A2 arrived. Boy where we wrong! She never sits still, and when she does you need to get worried - shit is going to happen! She is wild and free and have a will of her own. Do not tell her what she must do! She doesn’t like people, being more of a loner she will allow you into her space if she knows and likes you. But she is also highly affectionate, loving hugs and cuddles. Just don’t do it wrong!
