Wedding season is most definitely upon us, and if you’re one of the love birds planning to tie the knot, I’m sure you are starting to feel the pinch of the crazy prices the wedding industry charges. It seems like they just double the price as soon as they hear the...
Oh man do I love food, I love it even more if I’m sitting in a great restaurant! I thought I would share 3 of my favourite Johannesburg restaurants at the moment. They are all completely different, ‘cos you know, variety is the spice of life. Restaurante Parreirinha –...
This is is a bit of a switch up from the normal type of posts that I do – usually the blog is filled with beauty and skincare but every now and then I like to throw something different into the mix to keep things interesting. I love coffe. I love take away...
Oy but May is a hectic month in the Booyens household! Not only is it Mother’s Day, there are so many family birthdays as well as our anniversary AND most importantly, my birthday. Ok, maybe not most importantly but I am really looking forward to celebrating something...
