I’m not quite sure how or when it happened, but at some point over the last few months, I have not wanted to drink that much. It’s been just about a month since I last had tequila, I’ve been out maybe once since then and stuck to Savanna Lite and even if I have a glass or two of wine at home, I have to spritz it. Maybe it’s the adjustment to my new routine, maybe it’s the deadlines, or …
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 …
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 believe in nothing, everything is sacred. I believe in everything, nothing is sacred. ~ Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues It’s been a bit of a bumpy start to the week, and I’m at the point where I just can’t even try to focus anymore. All I feel up to doing is hiding away on my couch with a chilled glass of Chenin Blanc, some chocolate and some Spartacus, or maybe The Little Mermaid (aka my comfort movie …
After not quite getting it right the few weekends prior to this one, I finally seem to have (maybe) found just the right balance to make a working weekend, er work. My weekend had a bit of an early start with a birthday bash at Asoka, which would have been a well-behaved, orderly one had I not decided to join Blade and his posse on a mission to Jade. As a result, the night was neither well-behaved or orderly, but …
While the rest of South Africa was going about enjoying that time honoured tradition that is known as Braai Day and the Long Weekend, I was doing what freelancers do – slaving over my laptop and daydreaming about fame and fortune. I did however manage to escape for a few hours on Saturday to go up and visit my sister in Piketberg – seriously was just what I needed, and turned out to be one of the highlights of this …
Lately, it feels like I’m a tumble weed, drifting along in a daze, only to be swept up with a gust of wind. There has been so much uncertainty for a change-hating Taurus like me, and what I am fine with one day is quite often what I may be freaking out over the next. Yup, it has been quite a bumpy ride these past weeks, and with so much change on the way, I guess all that I can …
I can thank my bosses for my espresso appreciation. Before I started working here, I hadn’t really ever been that into espresso and would only drink black coffee if I had no other choice. I’d long been a caffeine lover however, and my penchant for a decent cappuccino was well installed. Then I had my first espresso – with sugar nogal… and instantly, I was hooked. My co-worker has fine-tuned his espresso making skills to perfection, and manages to get …
I’m not sure what’s changed exactly. I am still working full-time and freelancing on the side. I am still trying to juggle work, friends, family and me time. I am still prone to the odd stressed out day even. And yet, somehow this month things feel easier, and I’m not only staying on top of my game, I’m also managing to fit Muaythai and more fun into my schedule. On that Life’s a Journey show on SABC3 on Wednesday they …
I am so tired I can’t even think straight. After an awesome night at the Purple Turtle to see our friend Blade kick some serious ass at comedy last night (and maybe a few tequilas), today was hard enough. Then I had Muaythai… We did alternating knees, which I hadn’t done in a long time. We also did some sparring, which was great! Been so long, felt good like finally I was back on track. Haven’t sweated and suffered like …
