Easy style tips from a fashion guru

Today I am really stoked to welcome Antoinette Chorlton to the blog. Our paths crossed in a very interesting manner. In a way, I don’t know her from a bar of soap; but then again she slept in my bed & stayed in my house. So, we’re a bit like sisters I suppose. (In case […] Read more…

How about a ‘No Thanx’ gift list?

I agree. One should not look a gift horse in the mouth. But consider this: wouldn’t it be lovely to always get what you really need or want – even if it is just a tiny little something? Or, wouldn’t it be better to save someone some money (that they could use for a good […] Read more…

HELLO 2016, AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU!

My 2016 officially started this week. Well sort of. I’ve been dropping our little munchkin off for a few hours of holiday care since Tuesday. This gave me a few hours of peace, focus & to do some catch-up. 2015 was intense to say the least. There were exciting parts: buying our dream home (but […] Read more…

WILL THE ‘NEW NORMAL’ PLEASE STAND UP?

I can still remember very clearly: sitting in the ante-natal class hearing all about how (post-birth) you will eventually find the ‘New Normal’. Fast forward 2.5 years & I still ask myself weekly – if not daily – so what & where is the “New Normal”? Maybe it is because we decided that I will […] Read more…
