This next blog post is about a series of events that all happened in different cities. And they only have one thing in common: each tested my strength and each had me wishing I wasn’t alone, or at home instead. But I guess that if I was back in Cape Town, I would not have [...]
I'm often asked about all my travelling and it’s clear that people have a bit of a misconception about it. They just assume that it is all wonderful and that I get lots of time for sightseeing, that it is very glamorous (and that I cruise from one party to the next), or that Cilliers [...]
I’ve been home for a month now, and honestly, time is just flying by! How are we already past the halfway point of 2017?! The year has gone by so fast (the mantra of any grownup), and it feels like my New York trip was a lifetime ago. Being home is just wonderful! I love [...]
My seven-week stay in New York ended with a bang: I booked one last big job before hopping on the plane back home. And it was only when I arrived here in the Mother City, and jumped into Cilliers’s arms at the airport, that I realised how much I missed my life and routine here [...]
I’ve been doing yoga for about a year now, and it’s completely changed my life. I am not just referring to the physical benefits such as toning, increased flexibility, and in general, a damn good workout.

Noise. So much noise. I cannot even sleep through the night without waking up to loud sirens and endless hooting (nothing pierces your soul like the sound of someone honking his car horn for 5 minutes straight; and no, I am not exaggerating). Yes, it is the city that never sleeps, because at night all [...]
We often drive through the artsy and quaint town of Robertson, and it’s become a tradition to stop at the beautiful and inviting Robertson Art Gallery (on Voortrekker Road). On one such occasion I saw the most captivating, soul-touching painting: a portrait of a woman by Marittie de Villiers. For some reason I did not [...]
For our honeymoon (in 2015), we went to Seychelles and it was unforgettable! Since then we kept saying that we need to do another island vacation. So, since both our work schedules allowed it, we decided to book our trip (through a friend at MF Event) and went to Mauritius. We spent a week on [...]
Cilliers and I were invited by Vivid Luxury to attend the Veuve Cliquot Masters Polo 2017 on Saturday 4 March. It is a sought-after highlight on the South African social calendar and is regarded as one of the best polo events in the world. The Veuve Cliquot Masters Polo event is “an infusion of chic [...]
