Jislaaik!

jislaaik: [yis-like] An expression of outrage or surprise: “Jislaaik, I just saw Elvis!”   (Thanks Brand South Africa for the explanation!) As you all know, I am all about supporting local!  I would rather spend a little bit extra & support a small business that handmakes goodies than buying something that everyone else has.  Plus by […]

Bits & Blobs

Have you ever watched a clip/video & been completely mesmerized, so you carry on watching what they have available & before you know it a couple of hours have passed?  This is what happened when I came across Bits & Blobs on Instagram & Facebook.  She makes absolutely gorgeous slimes & squishy things, & her […]

Tattoos by Tory

As part of Women’s Month, I knew I wanted to do a focus on women who have achieved a lot in an industry that is predominantly run by men.  Instagram has been a great tool to search & look for inspiration of ideas of women who are pushing boundaries, achieving what was previously unachievable, & […]

Lulupie

Scrolling through Facebook one day I cam across a page called Lulupie.  They do paperless patterns which means that they print the actual pattern on the fabric so all you have to do is cut out the design & sew it together.  Plus they can even make your own fabric with a design of your […]

My Little Loves

Kirsty is a truly beautiful soul who embraces life & everything it throws at her, whilst truly wanting to make the world a better place.  She is a friend; wife; mum yoga instructor; & has recently added business owner to her CV! I went to school with Kirsty & did dancing with her during this […]

Pretty Bright Girls

When Libby started helping us in our home some time back, I asked her what she would like to wear.  Did she want to wear civvies, or would she rather have a uniform?  She said a uniform would suit her better as this made it feel like she was going to work & she didn’t […]

Be Kind To Every Kind

Did you know that this month is #PlasticFreeJuly? When I found out about this, I vowed that I was going to do my little bit to be more eco-friendly.  I have chosen to say “NO!” to plastic bags at all the shops, & carry my own fabric bags with me.  If I forget them at […]

Nut Butter Mafia

Our family has always had a slight obsession with nut butters – on apples or bananas; in a smoothie; on toast with sugar/syrup/bacon; mixed together with ice cream & milo; or even just out the jar as a little pick me up (yes, by the spoonful!).  In fact there are probably at least 10 other […]

Rogue’s Pawsome Bakery

If you know anything about me, you know that my animals are my children & our number one priority!  They sleep in the bed with us; come on holiday when we go away (when possible); & I have cried nearly every time I have had to take them to the vet.  There are times that […]

Metafit

Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person’s physical, emotional, and mental states. Carol Welch I have never been hugely into fitness or exercise, and since getting my diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis my exercise has had to take a back seat just so my muscles can cope with normal everyday life. My sister, […]
