January Book Review
…‘Love is crushing. Love is something you let yourself feel at your own peril, despite your better sense’… I read this book on a Saturday, and I couldn’t put it down, it was that good. A deeply moving story with an intricate throuple. The story follows a young woman nicknamed Daisy, later known as Jordan –…

Exploring Joburg’s Culinary Delights at Mila Restaurant
Food tells a story that imprints memories. One thing about Joburgers — myself included — is that we truly appreciate the good life, and this was clear the day we headed out for a late lunch at Mila Restaurant at LXX in Sandton. From the moment we arrived, we stepped into an unhurried yet vibrant atmosphere, with patrons enjoying business lunches…

2025 Reading!
“Something magical can happen when we read a good book.” Books have a unique power to take us to places we may never physically go – they offer an escape. The stories allow our imagination to travel freely, introducing us to new ideas, perspectives and igniting our imagination. Two years ago, I started being intentional…

Designed to look like a sailboat, Frank Gehry took his inspiration from the lightness…

Weekend in Paris – ‘Joie de vivre’ (The joy of living)
If there’s one thing that I’m going to miss this year, is the ability to travel overseas. The impact of the Global Pandemic on how we travel will be life-changing. Some European countries have started welcoming tourism but the reality (and I speak for myself) it’s going to take some time for us to travel.…

The Natal Midlands – FlashBack Friday
Woke up with a feeling of nostalgia to travel. Today, I particularly missed being able to travel to the Natal Midlands for a weekend recharge. I miss the picturesque landscape characterised by rolling hills, valleys, farmland, forests, winding country roads, dams and rivers. The Midlands is far removed from the frantic pace of the modern…

Zuma Abu Dhabi – ‘The story continues…’
My very 1st dining experience at Zuma was in 2103, I had travelled to London with one of my besties to celebrate a milestone birthday. My travelling squad (they know who they are) happened to be in town at the same time and invited us to join them for lunch. We had one of the best dining…

Cannes Film Festival – #ThrowBackTuesday #TravelTuesday
“So much of who we are, is where we have been” When I look back at this year and reminisce on some of my travel adventures, I’m reminded of how incredible it is to travel – the world is full of magical things to do, see and experience. Early this year, I was afforded an…

During our courting years, one of the things that my +1 and I loved doing was taking spontaneous trips and discovering South Africa. We would select a location, take a drive and explore. It was effortless, this was our quality time. We particularly loved long weekend, it was a great excuse to take a short…

Finding a food place that caters to my vegetarian lifestyle is a challenge, especially when looking for a place that offers more than just pasta, pizza, butternut salad or a toasted cheese sandwich. It was such a wonderful treat to have lunch at a 100% vegetarian restaurant that has wide selection of food to choose from. Situated…

As I write my final blog post for 2016, I take this moment and reflect on the year that was…what a tough year. I am grateful that through all the curve balls that life threw, I still managed to do some travelling and will forever be grateful for the memories created along the way. Our…

Its Travel Tuesday and this post is to encourage us to take more road trip. When I was growing up, I recall how my parents loved taking road trips. Their philosophy was, if you have a good working car, money for petrol and can afford a decent hotel, there’s really no excuse to take a…

Love it when I take a wrong turn and stumble across hidden gems. In this instance, I stumbled across a place called Milk Bar an African-retro styled café located on Keyes Avenue in Rosebank. I decided to grab a bite to eat and catch up on my emails. I’m an adventurous eater but having adopted a vegetarian…

I stumbled upon Tree Natural Concept this morning in between meetings in Umhlanga. ‘Tree Natural Concept is a wellness concept store combining tree yoga, a beautiful holistic yoga studio, and tree café, a café serving coffees, smoothies, juices and light meals.’ Decided to grab some brekkie and do some work while waiting for my next meeting. I…

After spending 3 days in San Jose for my clients workshop, stopping in San Francisco before we went back home was what we needed. When one thinks of the iconic symbols of San Francisco, the following come to mind -The Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Cable cars and the houses from Full House (yes I grew…

I love #FlashBackFridays I get to reminisce on my travel adventures. When I learned that we were going to run an event at my clients head office in Palo Alto Silicon Valley -the home to the world’s largest technology companies. I was beyond ecstatic. Such a privilege to be awarded this opportunity. The planning was…

‘The best things in Life are the people you love, the places you’ve seen, and the memories you have made along the way’ My #TravelTuesday post is on a trip we took Hong Kong (China) with family. Truly grateful for these trips and grateful to my family for the memories we are creating. Hong Kong…

“You’ll know the people that feed your soul…because you’ll feel good after spending time with them…” My #ThrowbackThursday blog post is from a trip that we took early in the year – a girlfriend’s getaway to celebrate life and friendship. My soul was fed! #Blessed #Grateful As I reminisce on this trip, I realise just…
