Hey friend. The weekend is upon us & so I’ve lined up ten epic web links for you. Enjoy! (Update: sadly the link to this Greyton cottage below is no longer available) Quick, make this Naartjie (aka Mandarin) centrepiece before they go out of season. Why you should throw casual dinner parties. I’m The Pineapple […] Read more…
Our room (more specifically our bed) is one of my favourite spaces in our home! It is sunny & comfortable & absolutely perfect for naps. And I loooove a nap. But recently I felt a bit uninspired with the room. Living in a rented space has lots of pro’s, but it can easily feel like your […] Read more…
“Losing a parent is like losing a part of oneself” – Debra Umberson Catherine Elizabeth Smit (5 September 1948 – 30 May 2019) This blog is about zest for life. About things that add zest to life.

Oliver baby boy room was super cute. (It was even featured in Your Baby magazine!) Before his birth, I specifically chose the colours & elements for the nursery so that they were not only for a baby & would ‘grow up’ with him. But two moves & five years later, his room is sort of […] Read more…
Just like fashion, decor & fitness, the world of food & drinks experience new fads & trends all the time. Some come & go quickly, while others linger a bit longer. Gin (in all kinds of forms) & black food (still one of my favourites) are still on trend, whereas unicorn coloured food, cronuts & extravagant […] Read more…
When we did the photo shoot for Ursula & Chris Malevris’ home, my idea was to feature baby Leah’s nursery as part of their home tour. But the pictures (& the room) are just so gorgeous that I decided that it needed a post on its own. Have a look – I’m sure you will […] Read more…
