When planning our trip to Dubai, Rik, Justin, Van and myself had a Whatsapp group where we’d chat, plan and get excited about the upcoming trip. Ok when I say plan I mean Vanessa and I would discuss details like visa requirements and so on and so forth whereas the boys would send joke pics […]
Wowza kapowza! I have told you before about my incredibly talented friend, Amy Larter, and a few weeks ago I was privileged enough to attend her DEBUT Album Launch. It is exciting enough when you go to something as awesome as this, but even more so when she is one of your nearest and dearest. […]

I have mentioned before that I like to bake. Something about it makes me feel very relaxed. So when I was going for Sunday lunch with the parentals I decided to bring the pudding. Also, Sunday was when my parentals were expecting to meet the Japanese ballet dancer who will be dancing with the Cape […]
Since you only turn 30 once I think a birthday party is fitting. But for a number of reasons I couldn’t have a party near my actual birthday and Rik was in Bots until March, so March it was. I wanted some kind of dress up, but also something that would be relatively easy for […]
I know I’m as writing this it that not everyone will agree with my opinion (I think the Wam might be one of those – I remember having a big discussion with her when I was back in varsity), but lets have it out. Tell me what you think and why … Because I am […]
