Jislaaik!

jislaaik: [yis-like] An expression of outrage or surprise: “Jislaaik, I just saw Elvis!”   (Thanks Brand South Africa for the explanation!)

Pretty Peachy

As a woman, when I work out I still want to feel pretty.  I want to wear fun clothing & show off my uniqueness whilst still being able to move & exercise with ease.  I am sick of wearing plain back clothing, or oversized shirts that I have claimed from husband.  I want something fun […]

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 […]

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 […]
