How was your Christmas?

Mine was fabulous thanks.

Dahlings

How are you? I'm fine thanks.

So this Christmas consisted of food, great company and a portable swimming pool (I wish I had taken pics of the pool).






We ate and ate and ate. Then chilled in the pool. The challenge with the pool is that it was two thirds my height and there was one two-step step ladder. The word "challenge" is even an understatement. I needed the ladder and J (the only guy in the picture) to help me get out.
The swimming costume I wore - which I hadn't fitted in a looooong time - was SUPER sexy. My boobs were more out of the costume than in (I feel like the level of sexy on the costume makes it need a name. Shall we call it Svetlana?). I felt like I should be getting paid to look like that. I am waaay too conservative for such.
BUT...
The food was delicious, the weather was glorious and the company was just what the soul needed. We laughed and reminisced. We played games in the pool, pretended like we were on a tv show, pretended to be slay queens and made inappropriate jokes. I got home at around 10pm and slept like I was anesthetized.

The following day we went back for more. We ate and ate and ate, then went into the pool again (this time J was not around and we had to improvise while my friends were laughing their tales off). Then we had a chemical peel which made me feel fancy for days!
Then...at 03:30 am while I was sleeping dreaming about rainbows and sunsets I was woken up by the worst stomach cramp. Needless to say...I had food poisoning. I thought it was the eggnog (I don't drink and also the raw egg), it turns out the following morning we were all sick. I'll spare you the classy details. I'm only now recovering.

I also got such great gifts. I love all things to do with pampering and skin. And that's exactly what I got.


All in all, though I missed being home, I realised that family is not always blood and those that love you are also a piece of home.

Now, I'm focused on 2019. It's three days away.

Also, this heat is ungodly. I get that this is the city of gold and to get gold you need very high temperatures but this is excessive.

Till then,

Discipline or Procrastination...

...Is there a difference? Dahlings How are you? I'm fine thanks. I went back to work and my blogging went too. Where to? Who. knows. Ok, I have a real problem with procrastinating. The problem is really real. I have soooo many ideas. I have so much I want to accomplish but I lack discipline. On Wednesday I was having a great conversation with an amazing person who is on the precipice of living his dreams. I've mentioned before that I seem to be surrounded by people who are focused on achieving in their lives. Out of 20 friends that I have (this is an e.g. I have waaaay more friends. JK), 13 of them have side hustles and they are KILLING it. Five of them have turned their side hustles into full on businesses and have left their 9-5's. I have equal opportunities to do this but guess what, I make every excuse under the sun to not go after my dreams. I have been challenged by my friend to tell him my vision so he can keep me accountable. You see, I unwittingly (...

Intermittent Fasting while Fasting

Say that five times fast! Dahlings How are you? I am fine thanks. So at the beginning of every year I do a Daniel Fast. I started this with my old church in East London probably about 9 years ago and have carried on even by myself (and another friend) in Joburg. Every year I have been stricter than the last e.g. the first time I fasted I probably lasted for an hour, the next year I last an hour and three minutes, the next a whole week - see the pattern? As the years have gone by though I have found the benefits of fasting to be much more satisfactory than my constant need for chicken. It's day two and usually the first week is the easiest for me but it's been hella hard this time. I pray it does not incrementally get worse. This year though I am determined to really make sure that I level up the Spiritual connection with God. Even though today I forgot because as soon as I got home from work I got stuck into my usual routine. I recognise that out of 52 weeks of the ye...

Moving to Johannesburg

..and making it in Johannesburg Dahlings How are you? I'm fine thanks. Over the weekend I was driving somewhere. I can't remember where to but I was driving on William Nicol and it was evening time. You see, whenever I drive in the evening and there are lots of cars and lights and activity I get excited. When I moved here I was so freaking excited. Every small thing excites me about this place - almost. The crime doesn't excite me. The crazy levels of anxiety from life here doesn't excite me. BUT the possibilities here excite me so friggin much! Sorry, I'm digressing a little. As I mentioned, when I moved here I was so excited. I just new that this was the place I am meant to be. I always thought that I would live here for a couple of years and then move to New York. It's been about six years but I can't see myself living anywhere else yet (maybe I need to travel to NY before I make such a bold statement). I also used to tell people in East London th...
