Healthy Habits - Week 2
Healthy Habits – Week 2
Week 2 of Sleek Geek’s 30 Day Healthy Habits Challenge has come and past, and boy was it a week! The biggest thing about these challenges is keeping to them even when you don’t feel like it. The past week I was so tired and a bit miserable so getting anything done outside of my comfort zone was a challenge. But I endured it. Team #SHERLOCKANDWATSON are still in the game.

Healthy Habits – Week 1
Currently I am doing Sleek Geek’s 30 day healthy habit challenge – click here for the link.
I signed up with my fiance and since we are actually having quite a bit of fun, and gaining knowledge as well as new-found habits, I have decided to continue with challenges ( be it 7 day or 30 day) , and will document them here. These will be challenges that I find which will better myself in anyway – I…

Blue is for boys
Blue is for boys
Blue is for boys, not little girls;
You have pink, and your cute little curls.
Don’t run too fast, you may get hurt!
If you play in that sand, you’ll ruin your new shirt.
Young ladies don’t yell, and they sure do not scream
Little girls should NOT be slurping their ice cream.
Never mind the boys, let them be
No you may not go climbing that tree!
Girls must be soft in a world that is not
Keep calm…

The Future is Female
New blog post up - spotlight on Women's Month
This year, National Women’s Day brings a lot to offer in Cape Town. In fact, it now seems common practice to celebrate Women’s Month… Because a day just really isn’t enough.
I am lucky enough to be in a position in life where I am able to take part in many of these things on Offer. Like the Future Females launch event, held at Rise Cape Town on 3rd August.
This event was offered as a free event…

Yoga Day
21 June was our Winter Solstice here is South Africa, and it was also International Day of Yoga.
I have been promising myself that I would start yoga for a long time now, hoping that it would increase my stability, as well as teach me to, you know, chill. But I have always been super scared of not being able to get my body into all of those positions that you find on Instagram. #Yoga
So when…

Let's Do Date Night
Our date night challenge adventure
My Fiance knows that he needs much patience with me and the many crazy ideas that I come up with and put him through. So I’m sure he knew just how interesting it was going to get when I signed us up for a Date Night Challenge.
For those who don’t already know about Date Night SA, they are a page on Facebook that finds ideas for date nights, so us lazy or busy couples can take those ideas and…

Ladies Night
New blog post up:
So if you’ve read my post about my recent case of FOMO, you’ll remember how my colleagues were going to join me for the event. Since we couldn’t attend that event, I entered a facebook competition (hey, anyone noticing that I lurv FB competitions??). The competition was held by Adventure Bootcamp and it was to win a ladies night out to see the new movie Rough Night at Nu Metro. Not only that but…

FOMO
I experienced my first FOMO this month. I didn’t think it was possible but it happened…..
Have you heard of CosmoJeans? No? Neither had I until about a month ago… My recent obsession with getting out and trying all things that may look like fun, caused my eye to catch on a Facebook post by Canal Walk (a mall not too far away from where I live).
The post mentioned #CosmoJeans17 a fashion show held…

Cape Town recently had the privilege of the Wedding Expo in our neighbourhood. Since my mother has set her wedding date for this year I thought it would help for us to go visit the expo and find some ideas and vendors.
I got engaged 2 years ago, but my Fiance and I agreed not to rush a wedding so we haven’t done much planning. Well, that is until I took him with to expo as well.
Leaving the expo I had so much info in my head and so many ideas that in the week that followed I have now got a pretty good outline of my own wedding planned out in my head. All we dont have is thew perfect venue… Oh, and the date.
So what did we find at the Wedding expo?
There was an abundance of photographers/ videographers and venues alike. You really had to stop and talk to each one, and thankfully each person was more than willing to explain what they had to offer, and in the end each bride has different needs and will find the one that fits her needs. There were however some stalls that really caught my personal eye.
We met Renchia from Taylored Treats and she gave us cake!! Hers was also one of the cakes displayed in the cake challenge. We had to vote for just one, but they were all so amazing.
Selfie Box was the first to hook me in. A portable instant photobooth, where your friends can take awesome photos home as souvenirs and thank you gifts. The lovely lady at the expo let us try it out and so we got our own photo printed out. It’s a quick, fun and sweet way to remember any day.
I managed to win tickets from Unbreakable man, and so I made sure to visit their stall, and was very glad I did! My fiance was quite sure as soon as he saw their ring collection that they were right for him, he even found one he really likes. They also have cuff links that caught his eye. Their product really did make an awesome impression.
We found Fizzeco Bubbly on Tap – so you can literally have the champagne flowing all throughout your wedding. And no bottles to have to clean up afterwards.
I really loved the idea of lawn games, and the prices from MR and MRS M did not call for me to sell any body parts.
I also won tickets from Glamour Magazine (I know, Im a bit of a competition enthusiast) and they had a competition running at their stall, so we went and took selfies. They also were running a special on their subscription that I could not resist! For just R120 I got a 6 month subscription PLUS a little make up bag with shimmering eye shadow, nail polish, eye liner and other essentials. I got so excited with the special that I got my mom one too.
I have been following Pink Book on Facebook for a while now, and it was lovely getting to meet the ladies behind the genius idea. We even got to walk away with our very own Little Pink Books which I’m sure are going to come in handy!
The guys managed to find the one and only beer stall. This was craft beer with personalised labels, so you can put your photos, names or just initials and wedding date on each bottle of beer.
Then we found a lovely surprise! Theodore Key were doing caricature sketches for absolutely free. So of course we had to take a seat and have ourselves sketched. The portrait is such a fun way to bring home a memory and I love the idea of having them to sketch our wedding guests.
The most exciting part for me personally is meeting Rose Molteno from Molteno Creations. I have had an idea of dress style in my head since I realized that I would actually have to dress up for my wedding – I love my jeans – and I haven’t really seen my dress style in any bridal shops or websites. Until I found Molteno Creations stall. Rose makes and designs the dresses herself and they are exactly the style I am looking for – simple, lace, delicate. No puffy ball gown for me. Awesomely, thanks to meeting her at the Wedding Expo I will be lucky enough to have a fitting with her soon for free! Lucky me. Soon I can check dress of the Wedding to do list.
There were also so many competitions that we could take part in and interact with all the different vendors.
All in all the Expo was very worth the visit. There are a few vendors that could have been added to complete the setting, but there was enough to help start the planning of any type of wedding.

Good food and wine show 2017
Good food and wine show 2017
One huge room full of food and wine. Wine from almost every cellar in the western cape. Food for every taste: burgers, sushi, shwarma, pizza, curry and the list goes on. And for dessert you have pastries, homemade fudge, handcrafted cupcakes and so many more delectable sweet treats.
Added to that of course is the craft beers, and spirits of all kinds. Vodka from Switzerland, and Gin from the…

A Mother's Day to remember
When last were you able to take your mom out for breakfast, get her a gift and enjoy some pampering all for R175? Never in my lifetime I can you that… Until I found Capegate’s Magnificent Mom’s Breakfast. Held every year in Capegate Shopping Mall, this is a Mother’s Day Must. I decided that I would take both my mom and my fiance’s mom, and I went with for the fun. The seats were limited though so…

Wine popsicles! That is what dragged us down to Nomad Bar & Bistro in Cape Town CBD in the very first place. Have you ever had a wine popsicle? Or a beer popsicle? Me neither!! Plus, I won a contest on Facebook, soo FREE WINE POPSICLES.
This is how we ended up in a spontaneous visit on a quiet Thursday evening. We managed to have our adult popsicles (delicious by the way!) and enjoy some lovely…

I bought a dress today
I bought a dress today
It was hanging on the rail
I saw it and it spoke to me
Unfortunately it wasn’t on sale
I’ve never been a dressy girl
I like to wear my jeans
But I saw this dress and I liked it
And all it’s pretty little seams.
So I tried it on expecting
To be disappointed greatly
Yet my was reflection surprising
I actually felt – well – pretty
Ànd then I tried to remember

Am I Adulting enough?
OK so 25! Thats a quarter century. Half-way to 5!! Technically, your 20’s are your young fun years right? So why do I feel so old?!
So I have 10 days to my birthday and I have gotten myself a few presents. What presents?? Hmmm, those new boots, a handbag and a pedicure sounded great! But no… I opted this year for a slightly more mature gift basket.
A pension fund (yep)
A medical aid membership (…

So here’s what I can gather happened between all the different stories… yes the dude clearly was protecting his daughter and yes that woman clearly wasn’t interested in disciplining her child and she may have been…

The Glass Castle
I have a bit of a fascination in real-life stories. The imagination is an amazing thing, but being able to take a glimpse into the mind of another human being, and see life through their eyes, is just more appealing to me.
So last year I found a review on the The Glass Castle, and decided I had to read it! I had no idea who Jeannette Wallswas but just the fact that she was willing to tell her…
