Foodie fun & great people

Life is about people, experiences & laughter.

Over the past few days; I have been attending quite a few foodie events & besides eating some delicious food, I have been meeting some pretty awesome people.

I have eaten so much, drank so much & laughed even more!

Sitting around a table, talking about food & laughing our heads off, you are reminded of a very important fact.

We are all people. Regardless of our financial status, we are the same underneath. We have feelings & hopes & dreams.

Life is not about the cars we drive or how much money we have. 

Enjoy the life that you are given, you make it awesome. If you are going through a tough time, hold onto your strength & lean on your support network. 

You will be ok in the end. Trust in your faith. Trust in yourself. 

On the foodie note - my friend Claudz has asked me to become a full time editor for her awesome blog Tables & Thyme.

I am really excited about this opportunity & I look forward to sharing my foodie adventures with you.

De-Cluttering

I am a hoarder sentimental. I like to save things that have a special meaning. Be it a teddy bear from a friend to a game I had as a child, I can't let go.

What if that game I had as a child is worth something one day? What if, what if, what if.

The reality is; I do not have space for everything. When I moved 2 years ago, I was forced to get rid of a lot of clutter and sentimental items, and I survived.

New job update

My new job is vastly different from the dental industry where I came from.

Where before I could sit in a comfortable dental chair, I now find myself behind the wheel of a R7.5 million Aventador coupe Lamborghini

I have met Morgan Beatbox, former 5 time motor-racing champion Gary Formato, received a thumbs up from Jeremy Clarkson and spoken to Richard Hammond. 

... And I have only been with the company for 2 weeks!

3 day long birthday

From Bestie

My birthday fell on a Friday and it so happened to be that last day of my 7 year long job. *Double Celebration*

I had been looking forward to my last day at work more than my actual birthday, but when the day came around, I was spoiled rotten, that my birthday ended up being the reason for my smile.

A colleague baked me a blue velvet cake (tastes the same as red velvet) and we started the day off early by eating cake.

The ABC of me

Bailey over at Vanilla Blonde blogged about this the other day and I loved the concept (after my April A-Z challenge, it seems that the alphabet is a recurring theme here)

Thought I would hop on the bandwagon and share my alphabet with you.

Animal Cruelty
Nothing in life distresses me as much as animal cruelty. I know I would be capable of murder.
If I found any abusers, I would shoot them... somewhere really painful so that they could die slowly. No second thoughts and no remorse.
People like this do not deserve to be on the planet. Despicable scum.

Balki Bartokomous

Very random I know! But this is what I immediately thought of when I was pondering the letter B.

My brother and I loved watching Perfect Strangers when we were younger. Balki's character was very sweet and kind and I loved his Dance of Joy.
