Otherwise, hows things?

Speaking of F.O the Conchords, there's this guy I work with (no names mentioned), who reminds me of Jamaine to the max! Lookswise - a little, but more his mannerisms, and the head bob that goes hand in hand with a good jam. He is quite a unique specimen, I feel like he belongs in a cartoon book.  I dont even know if he is really human, he's more of a bad-baboon.  I do know he's definitely not colored, he is 'malay' with a 'slight wave'.  This soul-filled character's favorite music is ' good music', he lives and breathes a mixture of house, jazz, and even the odd gangster beat.  His staple diet is Johnny's rottis (chip cheese and bean).   This 'King of Copy', who can rock wayfarers like theres no tomorrow (or so he thinks), has a number of 'honey's after him, but I also think he's more talk than action, just like his work ethic. LOL! He's always up for a good laugh - or to be laughed at (taking him surfing when he is still learning to swim is quite something!). But in general - what a good 'o'.

Moroccan vibes

I have done quite a bit of travelling, but a place i cannot wait to visit and explore is Morocco.

In fact I think people should spend more time... exploring their own continents than others.

From what i know of it, im completely fascinated with.  I love the intricate detail of Moroccan decor.

  My dream home would have wooden floors,  white walls outside with a blue Moroccan style door (similar to the rad drawing below i found on Joanna Hills website), french shutters, a white tin roof so I can hear the rain, and filled with Moroccan furniture and lamps :) And of course a hammock on the porch (in south african terms) a veranda!

I can feel winter sitting on my door step

So, winter is creeping in way too fast.  I really appreciated Durban this weekend while surfing in warm water even though the air had a nip! There's nothing quite like that feeling of a cool breeze with the warm sun on your back! It always makes me feel like im in jbay (one of my favorite places on earth).

its the weeeeekend Babyyyyyyyyyy

I have a mild obsession with TAN

Im not exactly a fan of leather (after all I was a vegetarian for 7 years), but I do LOVE TAN.
More like, absolutely adore tan leather! Or a look-a-like could just seal the deal too.
I now own 3 pairs of tan shoes, and 5 tan bags, a couple tan belts (along with a vintage one i found in my moms closet)...and a bunch of other things, along with a beach tan thats slowly fading from surfing in a suit. It's chillo's now!I found this, (slightly darker than tan but still rocks the party), bag i thought id share.
GENIET DIT EK SE!

Things that make me come alive sunshine!

barren beaches to explore, meeting interesting people, anything to do with the ocean: diving, surfing, fishing, etc.  camping, decorating, laughing alot till my tummy physically hurts, children, helping the homeless, worshiping one way greater than I, praying for the sick and seeing them get healed: sharing the love of Jesus, design, exploring the word aka travelling, adventure, romance, photography of ppl and nature, being passionate about whatever im doing, time well spent, family braais, dancing, singing, gardening, cooking without a recipe book, fresh food, sushi, all gold tomato sauce, good coffee, brilliant spontaneous ideas, shorts, slops and salty hair, all types of fruit, sailing, visiting islands, innovative thinkers, revival stories, the bush....A life thats full of Salt.

My first Hello to the world

GOODmorning.  may this be a GOOD morning!  Yesterday was horrid.
What to share in my first blog. mmm .  (she pauses & sips her over-brewed coffee) 
Essentially im blogging to cause myself to be inspired.  ZONE in on inspirations from around the 'floating' (internet) world.  
My first thoughts when i wake up, tend to be really arb, and very rarely make any sense. 
Today when I woke up:
"We use paper like it grows on trees" - ha! how ironic.  It does. And in that case, so does money.


I love pastel shades and plants.  i love these cacti.
