Just when I was about to surrender Jozilicious, I found myself with a whole bunch of free time, for the first time since I moved to London 🙂 If you follow me on social media, you’ll know that I’m now mum to a beautiful baby boy named Arin. Over the past few months there’s been […]
INSEAD withdrawal is real. It first hit me when I went back to South Africa immediately after graduation. Imagine having some of the brightest minds around you 24/7 – every conversation you have is engaging and stimulating (even when you’re talking about utter nonsense,) everyone is a risk taker, an achiever, a global citizen. You practice […]
I have a strange relationship with London. Most of the time, I’m giddy with excitement at the amount of things to do on any given weekend, and the old architecture, melting pot of cultures, beautiful parks and proximity to the rest of Europe. Other times, I walk out my door, it’s raining again, and I […]
I’ve been wanting to write about my move to London for some time now. The reason it’s taken me this long is, well, because I’m in London. There’s so much to do and see that I find myself constantly overwhelmed at the amount of options available – finding time to blog is quite difficult. We […]
As I write this post, I’m wondering if my efforts are going to be vain – do I still have a blog audience? I stopped blogging when I had reached my peak in monthly page views, and when a bunch of amazing opportunities were coming my way – press trip invitations for luxury international trips, […]
Woodlands Centre for Conscious Living in Muldersdrift is one of my favourite spas- more for the location and aesthetic than anything else. I featured them in this post I wrote about my 5 favourite massages in Jozi. It’s situated on the banks of the Crocodile River (near Avianto), and the therapy rooms have glass walls […]
Since I started writing- first on this blog, and then professionally- I’ve realized that I find gratification not from the process of writing, but more from the result of the writing- whether its inspiring others, or making a difference in their lives- like giving a reader the extra push they needed to book a holiday, […]
I’ve been meaning to write this post pretty much since I arrived in France, which was 6 weeks ago. Can’t believe how fast the weeks are flying by. The reality that the MBA will soon come to an end is becoming horribly clear and I’m feeling really sad about it. I can’t tell you how […]
Everyone has their own preference when it comes to exercise- some love escaping in the swimming pool, while others prefer road running. For some, more “low key” exercise hits the spot, where it’s as much about achieving mental stillness as it is about exercising the body. This is where yoga and pilates at the Equilibrium […]
Hey hey I’m writing this post because I’m really in the mood to blog, which is the best time to write- not when you have to or need to. I actually miss being just a blogger and not a freelance writer, because back then, every single blog post was written with passion. Now, I simply don’t […]
Calling all fashion lovers! Skip got into touch with me to let me know about a really fab event that’s happening soon- the Skip Fashion Exchange. I love an excuse to go out with my girlfriends, and I think this is a great way to do something different. Basically, the idea is that you bring […]
My pregnancy and newborn shopping list

So this post has been in my drafts for months… and I have a couple of travel posts I want to get out, so decided to finish up this one first 😀 I’m a researcher and planner by heart, so when I fell pregnant, I immediately started looking into all the things I’d need to […]
