Right, I have been rather rebellious with the blog over the last month or two – sorta just ignored penning down my thoughts because I just wanted to let my mind wander – and, oh, does my mind wander. The most exercise I do is the constant blitz of ideas that run through my mind. See, I did it again! Back on track, over the last two months I just wanted to breathe and feel – good, bad and a little lost too. For me, the unknown is really where the magic lies so why do I fe

Welcome to June and the first of my 4 part series .... Mind your Style (Styling from the inside out). What do women really want … simple – balanced hormones PERIOD. (see what I did there). Imagine what it would be like to feel consistently the same week after week – screw that hour to hour. Women are the stronger sex, it takes super powers to get through life with a constant barrage of hormonal instability and still somehow be kind, loving and mostly sane. And yes, I am ve

So, when it comes to fashion I pretty much have always had a sense of who I am and what I like. I sorta always just accepted my eccentricity, my innate desire for vibrancy and the escape that fantasy provides. My eclectic mix of styles, periods, colour and texture follow no real rules just instinct. Maybe I was just born with this confidence, maybe it exists within most children and I just haven’t evolved into your typical ‘adult’ sense of style or maybe it was as simple as

So much for a staycation I ended up visiting Durban over the holidays…eek. Yip travelling on my own with two kids and catching a red-eye flight was well, let’s just say memorable. But we made it, and it was so worth the travelling drama with this mama. Durban gave me all kinds of hometown feels especially spending time with both my grandma’s. Showing my kids my old school and the house, I grew up in was reminder that when life gives us lemon’s we make Achar or pickle 😊 M

It’s super late; my 7-year old’s snuggled up in my bed, the baby monitor is on and the annoying sleep-inducing music app. is blaring in the background. Mr Big is working the night shift again and I can’t fall off to sleep. This year has been just weird so far; I’ve been sick for all of January, in fact so sick that I decided to call it quits on breastfeeding my little guy after 2.5 years because my body was feeling the toll. To make matters worse my heart is sore because I m

It’s been just over a decade since I was last a bride … and if I were to do it again, which I have no intention of doing might I add, I would definitely rock this modernised Retro Raani inspired look that I pulled together on a whim as I do most things. This might very well be the year that many of you might be getting married so here are some of my top tips to looking like a million bucks without blowing the bank. The Dress – Upcycle – Recycle Baby Fact – It’s not all about

Now ladies, insight tells me that at least 95% of you are of the stronger sex ...I don’t know what station in life you may be at, if you’ve missed your train, if you're travelling by coach or 1st class … but here comes the express or should I say the “Orient Express” version of what’s been heavy on my heart this week Life can be tough; we all go through some pain, heartbreak, rejection and self-doubt at times. Some of us may have faced life threatening illnesses, the loss of

Yep it's one of those times; probably the flu and pms but I most certainly have been feeling the blues. I have been sick since Christmas eve and just can’t shake this feeling off. I guess the lesson I'm learning is to press pause – faith and patience are God’s greatest tests in strength and endurance. Knowing when your body, mind and soul need a pause and rewind is vital. But it’s time now for me to press play – slow and steady - I am gonna get up and get dressed and that’s
