We had such a busy weekend but it was fabulous. I worked on Saturday and then we went to Kim’s for a braai as it was her birthday. It was a party with a difference, because each couple had to make their favourite dish. There was plenty to eat and such a wide variety available. [...]
Fab weekend
A gift
I’ve been following a blog about a young lady and her hubby that are really battling to have a baby of their own. They have tried IVF and done the donor thing twice. As most of you are aware I did fertility for a whole 2 months and it drove me insane. I was the [...]
The winner
Barend and I took Joshua to Carnival City to take part in the kiddies cycling race. Joshua took part in the under 9 age group. There weren’t too many riders participating and I was rather grateful as these kids ride like there is no tomorrow. During the first lap of the race, there was an [...]
Cuticle cream
I started making a cuticle cream for Tranquil Body Treats manicure range, silly me thinking it would be easy. I made at least five different batches and I was not happy with any of them, they were either to runny or lacked consistency etc. I eventually called an organic product expert and she happily assisted [...]
P….d off
I am absolutely livid, a new client booked 2 full body massages and 2 pedicures for this morning at 9:00. She confirmed on Thursday morning that they will definitely be here at 9:00 sharp, as she put it. I got up extra early to ensure the fire was on and fresh lemon water was made, [...]
Dinner with friends
Last night we went over to my friend Ali and Leon for a braai. It was not your usual bring and braai. Ali being the thoughtful friend that she is – said just bring yourselves and the kids. She made special food for the kids so that they could eat early and for the adults [...]

I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately and I’m amazed to read – how many “women are exhausted”. I’m thinking it’s gotta be something in the air:( I for one am absolutely bushed, I have no energy and all I seem to do is yawn. I get up in the morning feeling tired and [...]
The launch
On Saturday the 6th of March, we launched the Tranquil Body Treats, mine and my hubbies new business venture. The afternoon was filled with lots of laughter and fun. We had a few lucky draws and fabulous prizes were handed out, to name a few (free facial, BNS massage, R200 gift voucher, free hair blow [...]
No more babies
There has been a lot of talk about Wilgeheuwel hospital lately and yes! they were featured on Carte Blanche. I was admitted to the gynecological ward today to have my tubes tied. Most of you are aware that I am pretty much part of the furniture at Wilgeheuwel, especially the maternity ward as I’ve spent [...]
Decisions decisions
I met with my Doc and it seems that my hormones have gone totally moggy:( The contraceptive pill is so not agreeing with me and he feels that PND is slowly but surely creeping in. He said he was not surprised to see me because my body has taken its toll over the last two [...]
