I absolutely love working from home and most of all I love working for myself (okay my husband is my business partner – does that count LOL). There are countless reasons why, but to name just a few: I love the fact that I can lie in, in the mornings with my girls. We read [...]

Working from home & working for myself
Bit of this and a bit of that
So we had a lovely Christmas, spent at my sister in laws place. We are one of those fortunate couples (Barend and I) that our families get along so we spend Christmas with both families, all together at one place, one time. New Year was quiet, a picnic in my parents sanctuary with a small [...]
Oh so sad…
How sad is this……….my last post was written and posted more than a month ago. Anyhoo, I’ve tried to catch up on most of the blogs I read and I think I am on top of things again. In the new year I am going to make every effort to blog more often. We returned [...]
Competition in the business world
I am faced with my opposition on a daily basis, simply because The Gourmet Market consists of 9 shops and of the nine, two are chocolate shops and two are natural body product shops. I own Sjokolat one of the chocolate shops and Tranquil Body Treats, the other natural body product shop. When I first [...]
It’s been awhile
And so, it has been awhile since my last post. I guess I’ve lost my blogging mojo – I seem to be brain dead. There is still so much going on at the mo. I’m desperately trying to get Sjokolat kitted out, I still need quite a few things but those few things cost money [...]
So much going on
It has been one hell of a week, I’ve been so busy – not knowing if I’m Arthur or Martha – Coming or Going! Yes, yes so a lot of it is self inflicted – whatever !!!!!! I am a perfectionist and do not delegate easily, a huge problem at times – okay so most [...]

What an awesome launch we had on Saturday, there was plenty champagne and chocolate truffles. Our Christmas product range will be on our website shortly, available for you to purchase. I have to admit. I put in a lot of hard work and plenty hours to ensure the shop was stocked and that the launch [...]
Bookworm
Hmmm I’ve never been much of a bookworm. Before I met Baldy I had probably only read ten books or so, sad very sad. However, lately I seem to be addicted. I’ve read the following books over the last couple of months: Bryce Courtenay – Jessica Sidney Sheldon – Nothing Lasts Forever Sidney Sheldon – [...]
Catch up
I seem to be so far behind on the various blogs that I read, thank goodness I’m linked to Twitter so I kinda get kept in the loop. I was not aware that Alet was planning her wedding, searching for a venue – how very exciting and I am ever so happy for her. I [...]
This past weekend
My Saturday started bright and early. I had a new client on Saturday morning, she was so impressed with her waxing she has booked for the entire year. This is the second time this has happened to me this week. We went thru to Laura for her housewarming and we had an awesome, awesome time. [...]
