My first bungee

I have always been an adrenalin junkie so imagine my excitement when the opportunity presented itself to do a 100m bungee jump! The Orlando towers in Soweto (Johannesburg) was previously a coal fired power station and has recently become a new hotspot for adventure. In addition to the bungee, they also have activities such as abseiling, power swing and an internal swing within the tower. My…

Just another hippie hotspot

Trying the same old restaurants can get pretty boring at times, despite the variety of food that is on offer. I have always had a fascination with places that have unusual varieties of food, cafe style cooking, retro vibes and just any hippie hotspots that seem fun and out of the ordinary. Being in a big city, the vibe is more towards the big franchise eat outs and restaurants that you would find…

Red city bus tour

My red city bus tour of Johannesburg was definitely a memorable one. I had always wanted to do it but never got around to it until my boyfriend’s family decided to take us all on the tour. I was really quite excited to see a different aspect of Jo’burg city. Over the years, much of Jo’burg city has changed and many people have forgotten how the city was back in the day. The red city bus tour…

Ultra Music Festival 2015

This year I went to my first Ultra music festival on the 14th of February ❤. It was definitely a day and night to remember! In celebration of the UMF South Africa 2015 official after-movie being released last week, I thought I would relive the moments again. Having missed out the first festival in February last year, when early bird tickets were released in June, I just had to buy them. One for…

The 8th World Congress of Herpetology: Tonglu, China

The 8th World Congress of Herpetology: Tonglu, China

As I jet off on my first solo mission into the world, I had a mixture of calm and excitement stirring in me, and I would say a feeling of nervousness too. I was about to attend my first conference and it just so happened to be an international one. I was fortunate enough to receive a partial student grant from the World Congress of Herpetology which covered my registration, accommodation and…

Something craftsy

Having watched the show diners, drive ins and dives on food network a lot, I was always curious to try chicken and waffles. It seemed like one of those American must try once in your life kind of things. I thought I would have to wait to go to the USA to actually try it so imagine my excitement when I found out that there was a restaurant in parkhurst, Johannesburg that serves chicken and…

It is pretty easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that we often forget to appreciate the present moment. People say it all the time but how often do you actually stop, think about it and appreciate the present moment?!

It is so important to constantly make ourselves aware that we need to enjoy the moment we currently have. Yesterday I was rushing to get out the rain because I obviously didn’t want to get wet. Despite having an umbrella, all I could think about was getting under cover. I paused and thought about it and realised I should be enjoying the rain and I did. The moment I stopped rushing to get somewhere else I enjoyed the cool air, the droplets of water falling down and the smell of fresh rain.

  That example can be applied to every aspect and every moment of our life. Why rush when you can take a moment to just enjoy everything around you. Yes becoming preoccupied with life can easily become a habit, but enjoying each moment can be made a habit too. Just decide right now that you don’t care about anything for the time being and you want to enjoy what is right in front of you.  Let go of the past and stop worrying about the future, the only thing you have control over is your present moment, your right now!

Always Always Always Rushing It is pretty easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that we often forget to appreciate the present moment.

Yes it can be difficult and everbody has their days where they just don’t feel like doing…

Let's Waffle

Let’s Waffle

This is one of my favourite recipes… Protein Waffles!!!!!!! Waffles are great for breakfast, lunch or supper and they can be eaten savory or sweet! They can be paired with almost anything from strawberries and cream to spinach and feta. Waffles can also be quite unhealthy because of the flour and sugar, but I have here a wonderful, healthy, protein waffle recipe that tastes just as good as any…
