It has been over a year since the ash cloud caused havoc in the Northern Hemisphere and over a years since I first had a Brazilian Blowdry. Ok, so the two don’t really equate or link at all, but topical is topical. Winter is here along with woolly socks, big jerseys and the ability to [...]

It is almost a month since my last post and I don’t feel like I’ve touched the ground, but then again I don’t think that I will for the next few months either. So I’ll just continue to fly! The last month has contained 2 half marathons, Easter, family, Mother’s Day, decisions to start training [...]

Happy almost Easter! Please see below a list of my Easter products. Please make sure that your orders reach me by Monday 18 April. I will be delivering on Wednesday 20 April and Friday 22 April (Good Friday). Please let me know what you want, what type of chocolate you want and how many as [...]

During this Daniel Fast I have done surprisingly little cooking. I’ve used the mushroom risotto recipe twice and had nice wholewheat pasta quite a few times. Other than that we have been eating out or at Bible Study or having salads, so last night I decided to try something different. I was going to make [...]

The Daniel Fast is now in it’s final week and you can see the difference in some people in church, not only physically, but they have a different glow about them. I think that this has been an awesome time of growing closer to God and just getting ourselves back on track.

A few months ago I was asked to do a birthday cake for the 29th of January and I was given a picture of what was wanted. It was a beautiful cake, covered in blue plastic icing with a layers of plastic icing creating a picture of a horse along with flowers, polka dots and [...]

Now that the busy-ness of the weekend is over I have time to write again… I think that the middle of something is usually the hardest. Week 2 is thus the hardest of a 3 week fast. This is due to being all fired up and excited in week 1 and having the end in [...]

Yesterday the verse of Mathew 6:33 really inspired me. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all these things shall be added to you.” (NKJV) Last night was the the first cell/home-group meeting of the year and when my husband got home at about 5:45, all I wanted to do was put [...]

So my body is starting to adjust to the fact that it needs to digest and use up energy differently to normal. I don’t know what the biology is behind it all, but I had a mean headache yesterday and felt really tired. I assume that I’m detoxing from sugar, because I can’t pinpoint anything [...]

Isn’t it amazing that when we deprive ourselves of something, that’s all we want! I’ve only completed one day of the fast and it was pretty hard considering how much baking I was doing yesterday. Normally, when breaking all of the chocolate blocks and discs, there are bound to be a couple that land up [...]

Ahh Soul Food! Each time we go to Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens we have to bypass the Gorillas:

Anyone who grows up in a Christian household has a basic idea of fasting. Many people have wrong ideas and approaches to it and it’s quite difficult to get everything biblical in line. The first few times that I fasted, I got it very wrong. The definition of a fast is to to deny food [...]

The 2010 Soccer World Cup has kicked off with a bang in South Africa and my heart is filled with pride. I am a South African! I had the privilege of attending the first match in Cape Town on Friday between France and Uruguay. The whole process was smooth and fairly painless. We had a [...]

I recently received the ZaraZoo newsletter. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, they seem to be really jacked up and have international operations  which does raise their level of credibility. Check them out at www.zara-zoo.com. I’ve just copied the below from their website: Before the wedding: Do not have a facial 3 days [...]

A dress that is only going to be worn once doesn’t have to cost the earth. Why settle for a dress that isn’t exactly what you want just because it is cheaper? Buy/hire a pre-owned/once-worn gorgeous wedding dress that is in exactly the same condition as if coming off the hanger for the first time. [...]
