On June 10, 2019 In Lifestyle
I thought I’d warm up your Monday a little (well at least if you’re in SA!) with a throwback of sunshine and baby toes from the twin’s first travel experience. Let me start off by saying these two are incredibly privileged to have had their first flights around just 7 months. I had my
So we moved to Dubai!
On June 4, 2019 In Lifestyle
I met A for supper at SoYum Hemelhjuis (if you still haven’t been gooooo!) one evening late last year and when I casually asked “so how was your day?” He had news: just hours ago that afternoon, he’d been offered a role in the UAE. I don’t think I could I could wipe the
Hand in hair syndrome

Guys, from this title you’ve probably guessed that I cannot keep my hand out of my hair. I know this sounds like I’m ouchea complaining about a non issue, but this is maaaaajor for me. It’s been going on for years now. I’ll just be sitting, watching, TV, reading, working, oh you know, blogging
cw: weightloss, fat phobia, sexual assault
On April 10, 2019 In Uncategorized
I’m back in that “feeling-fat” place and I wanted to share the only thing I’ve read thats moved me on this subject in a really long from some I admire very very much online, Ijeoma Oluo. “Earlier today I posted a request for greater care when discussing issues of weight and weight loss. This
The 4th trimester…
On April 4, 2019 In Lifestyle
Why is this story so hard to tell? Probably because aside from A, I don’t think anyone knows it in full. Bits n pieces sure, but I think I’ve also packed bits of it away, even in my own head. Bits I didn’t really want to have to face again so soon. Bits I
Photo Post: Our Babymoon at The Oyster Box

I was told to pack a bag for a week and not told exactly where we going for our babymoon ahead of #TheAndersonTwins’s arrival earlier this year. Even though I could tell we were clearly headed to KZN (we drove), I couldn’t have imagined where we’d end up… Imagine my surprise (& glee!) when
#CashInOnYourCravings & win a cooking course & R10k daily with Cadbury
I spent an evening last week with the Cadbury’s Team at The Cookery, doing (as you may have guessed!) a cooking class to celebrate their current #CashInYourCravings campaign (more on that in a bit). I really didn’t expect to have as much fun as I did (but hey, there’d be lotsa chocolate right?) so
An overdue trim
On October 8, 2018 In Fro
It had been a solid two and a half years since my last trim when I finally sat down in Karen Van Wyngaard’s chair recently. I could blame pregnancy etc. but the truth is that I was afraid to cut for fear of sacrificing length. Why am I this person? I don’t know. I
Egyptian Magic – & it really is!
On October 3, 2018 In Uncategorized
I first came across Egyptian Magic on the ‘gram, some 2/3 years ago. I remember thinking “But. What. On. Earth. Is. This?” The packaging, the name, everything about this threw me. Of course I was skeptical. I couldn’t find any local reviews and since it was going to be an online purchase there was
Photo post: Our favourite coffee spot in Jozi…
You may or may not know I married a coffee connoisseur snob and without a doubt Bean There at 44 Stanley is our favourite, favourite place in Jozi to grab coffee as often as we can. I would still be drinking Jacobs if it wasn’t for A but all instant coffee is banned from
