doing the durban thing on a public holiday

listening to billionaire by travis mccoy and bruno mars
waiting to go the chemist(pharmacy...what's the difference?)




the best thing to do in sunny, humid durban on a public holiday is hitthe beach! and that's exactly what i did with some beautiful friends. relaxing on the sand, facing the chilly water, sing-a-longs-laughs and plenty love was the order of the day.i hope my smiling, wayfarer framed face keeps you company until my next post!

ciao♥

living life for my being

listening to lover you should have come over by jamie cullum
looking out across my panoramic view of durban
missing games nights.where are you?


you'll be pleased to know that i have found a balance between the crazy cleanse i (tried) to put myself through, and my love for baked goods. this balance includes green mint tea first thing in the morning, a lovely breakfast of eggs and toast and grilled tomato, oh how i love you breakfast!, water with lemon and honey at random times, salad lunches, and well rounded dinner plates - with my own add-ons to my family's normal dinner, making sure i have something hot, something cold, something colourful, and something crunchy. and of course dessert when i can, although i must be honest and say most days i'm full enough after my daily water intake and those beautiful breakfasts (i love you breakfast...again).

the finding of balance has not stopped at my eating habits though, i am pacing myself through the day, cooler and more put together. i babysit my little nephew every alternate day, prepare myself for office work at seedat and seedat architects as of april, and oh, did i mention work on davey♥? it's brought me so much satisfaction...and makes me think of a little stevie wonder song that sings, "...i'm more than happy, i'm satisfied..." now what else could i possibly need?

from the start of this year, i have been spending my saturday mornings teaching young underprivileged girls at an islamic school, and to be totally honest, i enjoy it so much, it fills my day, makes me feel as though i've done something worthwhile for another human being. and that's part of my "living life for my being" plan. my new approach has me honest, thankful, and determined to stay in this place.

somewhereup there i mentioned davey♥...and i owe it to you all to shed some light. davey♥ started off as a jewellery house, but over the past few weeks, while i've been busy doing samples of the wrap bracelets and necklaces, it's evolved into something wonderful! davey♥ now houses jewellery, belts, bags, and a range of darling dresses for the launch in april!

and speaking of the launch (with fingers crossed that everything runs smoothly), i have booked the pretty, intimate,st.clements garden cafe for a weekend evening to launch davey♥, share some cuppin♥s and snacks and drinks with family and good friends...who will hopefully become good buyers!

here are some sneak peek photos of what toexpect from davey♥ jewellery...i promise to post more soon!




adieu mes cheries!
