You don’t have to be a teenager to rock some fun, alternative nails. Some really fun options for nails have made their way across my desk over the past few weeks & I’d love to share them with you. They’re all stick-on versions, so if you hate to wait for your nails to dry, one […] Read more…
We will soon be leaving our beloved condo, in exchange for what will probably be a grown-up, suburban home. The time is right. I know. But I feel a bit like the time when I had to let my little student car (a VW beetle or Volla affectionately called Gert) go. I knew the timing […] Read more…
Aah. The internet. Such a wonderful place, thing, invention. Call it what you like. Bottom line is: it’s full of inspiration & can keep you busy (& side-tracked, oh boy) for hours & hours & hours. Here are some of the latest inspirational bits on my radar. Enjoy. Recently, I found myself very eager to […] Read more…
I only discovered chickpeas in my 20’s & boy am I glad I did. My mother is a fantastic cook, but tends to stick mostly to the traditional repertoire (rys, vleis & aartappels, anyone!?) which means we weren’t really exposed to items like couscous or chickpeas. Chickpeas are not only good for you, but they’re […] Read more…
I can hardly believe that we’re almost two weeks into 2015! I have a really good feeling about this year. So good, in fact, that I’ve decided to write it a little love note… Dear 2015 Thank you for arriving at exactly the right time. I was so over 2014 – phew! What a tough […] Read more…
One of my very favourite things to do during the festive season is to wrap gifts. If fact, my family members often make fun of me because I’m often very ‘strict’ about making the gifts look pretty & festive. Each gift – no matter how small – must at least have some sort of ribbon […] Read more…
I don’t know about you, but the closer I get to December & Christmas, the slower I seem to get things done. I realise that I might have taken on a bit too much. I’m not complaining about work coming my way through, but still. All I really want to do is wrap gifts, bake […] Read more…
Traditional bobotie is one of my top South African dishes! It is really, really tasty but often not the healthiest of recipes. For instance: my favourite traditional Bobotie recipe contains sugar, bread, jam, raisins, chutney & oil. It is served with yellow rice (made with golden syrup (!), turmeric and raisins). Mmm… probably not ideal […] Read more…
I am so excited about this post, I can hardly keep my composure! It is not December yet, which means you still have some time left to get your gift shopping in order, plan your menu & decor & get yourself organised. If, like me, you love the concept of an advent calendar, then you […] Read more…
Since I can remember, I’ve always had & always loved Revlon nail colours. They are such winners & this one (called ‘Rich’) is no exception. It is a very unpredictable colour & almost changes colour as you turn your hand & the light catches your finger tips. Fun fun fun & a bit dramatic! I […] Read more…
