There was a lot of excitement at my house last night when the first Christmas beetle of the year made a suicide mission into my lounge. Jasper had never seen anything like it before, and was jumping all over the lounge like an excitable Tigger making funny noises, and even Sonic got a bit worked up. Jasper soon brought the beetle down, and a good hour or so of torturing the poor thing followed – when it was gone, he …
Slowly but surely, I’ve been trying to integrate healthier habits into my diet. Detox diets are kinda 90′s, and can also be a huge pain to implement, but I find that adding little ‘tricks’ over time is a much easier way to slowly work towards a healthy diet. Here are some of the detox tricks I’ve picked over the past few months: 1. Asian red tea – found at Wellness Warehouse or health shops, a cup of this before breakfast …
Because I’m tired and lazy and have a gazillion and one things to do tonight, I thought I’d share some of my recent needful things rather than do a proper post with words and stuff. Here they are in no particular order… 1. Nip/Tuck 5 – crazy, twisted, OTT and awesome… just the way the good doctors should be! 2. Essie Nail Polish – the shade is called ‘Your Place or Mine’ and it’s super pretty. 3. Chanel Chance – …
… is BABY otters! The Daily Otter has been a great source of zen boosting material lately, with these insanely adorable baby otters that are being hand-reared at a zoo in England after their parents weren’t able to raise them properly. The pictures are cute enough, but there are videos too! Watch these otter babies learn to swim, and if you can stand the cuteness, then watch these baby otters being fed. Is it actually possible to not adore otters? …
I really struggled to wake up this morning – it was one of those super human effort type endeavors just to open my eyes and clear my head, and while it’s times like these that I’m glad I work from home, it still doesn’t make it any easier to wake oneself up. Also, it’s Monday, and those are challenging enough! The weekend was mostly a good one at least – I had a very chilled and orderly catch up with …
It’s Friday, the 5th of November too – 5 is my lucky number and I have an awesome day lined up, so it can’t possibly not be a good day today! Because I’m in a silly mood today, I’m going to be all MySpace-like circa early 2000′s… Mood: Bouncy Listening to: Blue Drinking: Asian red tea Wearing: Bright orange The sun is doing its best to shine in Cape Town, and it’s almost the weekend. I’m smelling all sorts of …
Today, I’ve been feeling glad. I am glad that… * I have great clients who are awesome to work with, pay on time and are nice people too. * I have online friends who are there to offer encouragement and support when I need a boost. * I have real life friends who have helped me weather these hellish past few months. * I have lovely friends who understand the importance of taking time out for waffles. * I have …
It’s a new dawn It’s a new day It’s a new life For me And I’m feeling good ~ Nina Simone – Feeling Good There are many reasons why this week is a good week, not least because I am having a much-needed bit of downtime as one deadline finishes and another one begins only next week. So aside from my regular stuff, for now anyway I can focus on admin, Roxb updates, myself and all the things I never …
I sometimes think I should have been a hairstylist. Well, apart from the fact that I am useless with a hairdryer and I only enjoying playing with my own hair, hah! The point is, I get bored very easily and I struggle to go more than a few months with the same style/cut/colour. I’m trying to grown my hair out now so that next year I can go longer and a few shades lighter. Currently however, I’m growing out a …
October is finally almost over, and so is the big deadline that has been looming over me this past month or two. I can’t quite believe that it’s almost the end of the year, and after a supremely challenging month (read: stressful beyond belief!), I’m very excited to begin a brand new month of calm, balance and contentment. It’s time for some positive change all round, can’t wait! Here are my favourite things from October that helped get me through …
