I’ve reasontly decided to start move over to the ‘sales’ industry and after various considerations I decided to try do something with one of my favorite brands – Skinny LaMinx – I contacted them and they were more than willing to accommodate me with my new adventure.
Watch this space for more information in the new year. In the meantime, feed your soul and start plannning your next make-over.

Wow…and so 2016 also comes to an end. For this year we don’t have a lot of words, let’s face it, it was a rough year. At least we have something to look forward too…….sun, sea and family time.
Leave the Trump at home, forget Brexit, after all, most of the people didn’t even know what is the meaning, as the question “What is the EU?” has spiked in popularity online. Pray for all in the Isis attacks and send your kids overseas to study. After all, who can learn anything during the chaos that came with FeesMustFall?
Enjoy, love and cherish everyone close to you, and let’s try to make 2017 awesome.
We promised ourselves that one day when the kids are old enough, we will have our white Xmas. In the meantime, we can only dream.
There is absolutely nothing more magical than a white Xmas.
We just came back from a Xmas tree hunt…literally searching the forest for the best natural, live Xmas tree. I’m not a big fan of all the plastic, fake decorations in the shops. I prefer the homemade, real decorations with character, and made with love.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas!!!
To explain the life with your pets is to ask someone to imagine living without a BFF (best friend forever). You can’t really explain it if you are not a pet owner. In my case, I have 10, ranging from very big to very small. They keep me busy, they keep me young, and they are always there for me. Apparently, they have a lot of health benefits too, especially if you are alone, sick or selfish. If you are alone they are always there for you, they never judge, they are never jealous and they are ALWAYS happy to see you, sometimes even more than you are happy to see them. Yes, you do also get annoyed with them, especially if they jump on your white bed with their muddy paws, or if they dug out your newly planted rose garden. But, even though you get cross with them, you can’t live without them.
I’ve heard that some hospital recently agreed to allow senior, or terminally ill patients to have their beloved pet with them, and it helps them through their struggle or pain. AMAZING IDEA!!
When you own a pet you are not allowed to be selfish. They need food, water, comfortable bedding and constant playing and exercise. It forces you to care for something else besides yourself, and what people don’t always tell you is that you can actually have long, meaningful conversions with them, and they will help you during those hard times.
I was not even married when we decided to get the children, Ice and Chikita. We did a lot of research, before deciding which type of dog to get, and in the end, we’ve decided on a Siberian Husky called Ice. She was the most gentle animal I have ever met, her eyes really spoke to you. 6 months later she just had to have a sister, and then we’ve adopted Chikita. Yes, for those of you who doesn’t know you don’t actually have to buy a pet from a breeder. You can adopt them, and give another life a chance to happiness.
(If you’ve missed it, I’m begging everybody out there that if you decide to get a pet, adopt, don’t buy)
Ice and Chikita lived with us for 13 years, and they were the best companions anybody can ask for. My children met them and were able to get to know them, and grow up with them for a little while before old age took them away from us.
To this day, we still miss them and my kids still ask about them, even though we now have two new very energetic furry kids. So, all I ask of you is to love them, care for them, feed them, and give them a warm bed to sleep in, and you will have a BFF for life.
From a very young age, I constantly dreamt of the most beautiful home, where I can be myself, relax and raise my children. Like most women, I love beautiful things, and therefore my main focus since we moved into our newly, very ‘green’ wooden farmhouse on the 30th of June 2015, was to make it pretty.
See below a few pics of my lovely living space.
I love everything green, specifically referring to plants, flowers, trees. Therefore it is no surprise that my home is full of plants, and when possible a bunch of beautiful flowers.
White on white is simply the most calming, cooling and beautiful colour. I adore the calming effect it adds to any home.
With white as your base, you can play with any colour. I love my striking blue cupboard as a focal point in my living space.
I’m trying to figure out what exactly is my decor style so I asked Google. In the end, I concluded that you don’t need just one decor style…you do what works best for you and what you love the most. My style ranges from Scandinavian Country, Rustic/Vintage, Industrial and Urban Modern.
So, in the end, what I love most about my home is the people I share it with. My loving husband and two adorable kids. Read my next post about Mother’s Life+.
