Wow that sounds like such a click-bait title now that I’ve actually typed it out! Eh, did it work? HAHAHA. We already know I get books to review right? Well I do. I work with some magical publishing houses. Every now and then though something […]

Welcome to Camp Reset, a summer camp with a difference. A place offering a shot at “normality” for Olive, a girl on the edge, and for the new friends she never expected to make – who each have their own reasons for being there. Luckily […]

Today 5 years ago M and I went from friends with benefits who had met online to officially dating (if a facebook relationship status update is what counts as official). Still the funniest story seeing as everyone else knew I was in a relationship before […]

I think that “name and discuss” and probably also “define” are my least favourite things to see on an exam paper. That and 20 mark questions, those make me start twitching the moment I see them and today’s exam started with one. What sadistic examination […]

Okay so yes I do have a new phone but that’s not what I mean, I’m sure that you had a bit of a “huh” moment yesterday when you got an email about the new blogpost and it’s all not Cupcake and Fysh, am I […]

On Sunday I officially survived another rotation around our sun. YAY ME! I know some people get all sad that they are getting older but 30 was my best year in so long. 30 brought a lot of good my way, a few curve balls […]

Apparently Stellenbosch has botanical gardens! I had no idea until yesterday when I had to meet my mama there to get Fysh’s laptop charger. It’s so green! Okay I guess that’s a given considering the name but I mean REALLY green. The grass is so […]

We spent NY at a farm up the way from us and to deal with the large amount of people I don’t know I always take something with that can keep me busy in case I feel uncomfortable. This time I grabbed a little slab […]

My person bought me a Harry Potter planner last year as a gift for doing so well in my exams. Originally I had planned on doing everything completely digital this year – saving paper and all that – but I mean come on, it’s Harry […]

Across the railway is a “little” garage station. But it’s not your usual garage station store vibes at all. They don’t even have those 3am hangover pies! No seriously. It’s called Zettlers and it consists mainly of imported sweets, overpriced tourist goods and the odd […]

I want to say that nothing remarkable has happened and that’s why we’ve been quiet but the honest truth is that I am generally just too damn tired and have no motivation these days. My essays for assignments are long so by the time I’m […]

Last year I posted about how you can support small businesses instead of going directly to the big shops last minute over the holidays and I want to remind you why and how to support them before I start showcasing my favourites. For me it’s […]

I’ve successfully survived an entire year of being at university and have just registered successfully for this year and yet it still feels so surreal to admit that I’m a university student. It just doesn’t feel real at all. Is that strange? Does anyone else […]

I wasn’t going to do a reflection post but then I browsed through my instagram and realised just how much happened in 2018 and how much we survived/accomplished and that should be documented because it means we have a 100% survival rate so far. A […]

Okay so now that I’ve got that stuck in your head… (you can thank me later) let’s get to what this post is really about. MICKEY MOUSE IS 90 YEARS OLD ! And man he looks good for someone almost a century old don’t you […]

The last meteor shower I saw was the eta aquaria one when we went camping in the Karoo specifically to see it as a birthday gift. Tonight we can all watch another one. If you’re willing to stay up past midnight like us. I’m rather […]

  Fysh loves being asked questions, maybe cause he loves talking so much?  Who knows. But ever since he was little, or at least since he started talking, he’s always wanted me to ask him questions and he often asks random ones back. His favourites […]

This time of year is hard AF for small business owners because while people are happy to spout the “support local/small businesses” that tends to be nothing more than say say when the festive season rolls around and they head directly for the big companies […]

I fall asleep listening to Stephen Fry read me an HP book every night, it’s the only way I can fall asleep, one of my quirks and why I have my own room cause M falls asleep to the sound of nothingness. The movies are […]

We are 4 Friday’s away from xmas. FOUR. Damn this year just slid on right by us. And today I wrote my last exam of the year so just like that my first year is done, now we just wait for results eep! [wc_row] [wc_column […]
