Beauty. Fashion. My preoccupations.
I started writing about my adventure in Paris last year and after the first month, I didn’t pick up my laptop again. I’ve spent the last week wondering why that was, and I came to one conclusion: When I moved to Paris I decided to just live. 2018 fed my soul in so many ways.
So, I have officially been in Paris for 18 days and have loved every minute of it! It honestly feels like i have been here for a lot longer than 2.5 weeks and I think that’s all thanks to me settling into a routine pretty quickly since arriving and having already made friends. Read more.
Focussing on myself and my “me-time” is something I’ve been working on for ages but haven’t really managed to get right. So last week, after the most severe anxiety attack I have ever experienced…
Last year I set out to read a book a month as part of my goals I wrote down in my bullet journal. Well, it turns out it was a little too ambitious and I sadly didn’t reach that target. What did I manage to finish reading?

In February my mom and I packed the car and headed out to Sondela Nature Reserve, near Bela Bela, for a week in the bush. All we wanted to do was get out of the city for a bit, put our feet up, read, do arts and crafts and do some animal watching. We’d had […]
Every year my mom and I try to get out to the Nan Hua Buddhist Temple in Bronkhorstpruit for Chinese New Year. Nan Hua Temple is the largest temple and seminary in Africa. This year, on 2 February, we managed to get out to it and I am so glad we did! The first time […]
