Back in the saddle...

So it has been quite some time since I last made an entry, so many exciting things have happened: I got a new position as a watch buyer, moved to Jo'burg, discovered new places, got a new set of wheels for this urban jungle and a dishwasher ... it might seem lame but the dishwasher is sort of the best part of it! As I hate washing dishes, and the idea that I don't ever have to wash another cappuccino cup makes me the happiest puppy in the world!

Our view from our bed in our new home

Just to illustrate to you how time has passed since our last chat, have a look at how our friends' puppies have grown in just a few months' time, they are huge animals now!

Here they are just a few weeks old

And look now... the size of little lions!

I am loving watches, and my new job even though challenging... I especially like this new Guess floral watch. I would not have ever thought that I would love a Guess watch but I do and I want it at once for Summer! Summer please come already, so tired of winter now and some colour in my life.

So hot right now!

I must say staying in Mulbarton, I don't miss the dirty air of Sasolburg. I have an actual view now of greenery, hills and me and my Sweetheart are living happily in our new place. With many a braai being enjoyed at sunset braai on our big stoep. 


Our new stoepie

And lots of steak

with some delicious ribs

We have discovered a few places here such as our new favourite place to shop, Melrose Arch. It feels like V&A Waterfront and ZOMG, they have a Häagen-Dazs and a Vida e Caffe! Yay, a Vida, finally! 



Haagen-Dasz at Melrose Arch ... so much of yumbo

I always share my favourite things and lately these are kiwi's, ClemenGold mandarins from the juice to the actual fruit, Cayenne pepper, giant jalapeno's and a Spencer bear every once and a while!
We are spoilt with a fresh fruit and flower shop that is just around the corner and a cheese shop with an Italian deli...Deliciously and dangerously close by, I love cheese too much, way too much!

Kiwi's with slicer tool for free, love free stuff

Giant jalapeno's

Cayenne pepper in cute bags with scoop

All my friends are sending me their baby pics and they've all become new mommies. But I will stick to havin' my puppies one day :)

Some more baby and mommy pics

I just want a baby panda

If it comes in panda then maybe this one :)

But for now I am just running from one meeting/deadline to the next, doing the best I can, learning a lot and building a strong team...and looking forward to the weekend where I can spend lazy days in the arms of my Sweetheart and make up for the time apart during the week. 

My weekends

Me on a Thursday...

Me after doing Monday figures and analyzing sales...

Until next time, have a great weekend and if in doubt, just ask yourself a simple question: "But does it come in panda?" If it does, then you know it is the right decision and you must have it at once!

Valentine's Day



Valentine's Day is no different in Sasolburg than anywhere else. As my sweetheart and I were apart for so many months, I wanted to make this one a special one. Any excuse I can get to spoil and make him feel special....So it was going to be the whole works: A music playin' card, chocolate, cap classique, a rororomantic Valentine's dinner for two of note and the lacy undies... It was pink all the way...

The card:
Two cute little lovin' bears, glitter and hearts (in 3D)!

The card plays a song and has a light that says: "I love you!"
The chocolate:
A dark chocolate bunny - Because it's his favourite!

The setting:
A page full of kisses

The table setting - roses were my gift - went with decor perfectly!


My gorgeous gift:
My beautiful roses I got and two books! Yay!

The menu:

Starter: Spicy prawn salad

Main: Norwegian salmon, asparagus, fine beans and pink fur potatoes

Dessert: Dark chocolate raspberry and blueberry cheesecake yogurt

The lovely cappuccino made by my sweetheart with latte art! 


The cap classique:
Ice cold pink sparklies!


The lacy undies....

Lacy undies in pink going with the theme

We didn't get there though - we were too full after our three course meal :)

The evening was really about just being together, making it special, having a few laughs and fun!



Hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day and weekend!
