>> Reading Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman. This man. I’m obsessed, especially after discovering and reposting this video. He is a master of tales and characters. Cannot wait to get stuck into more of his work.
>> Watching The Great Gatsby on DSTV Box Office. Over and over again. I know a lot of people didn’t like Baz Luhrman’s interpretation of Fitzgerald’s classic, but man, the clothes, the music, the colours. And the enchanting Carey Mulligan… On repeat.
>> Drinking a Savana. But not out of a can. That’s just gross. Also, lots of ice cold water with lemon. Perfect for hot spring days and lemon is great for detoxing. Which I’m always in need of with my crazy lifestyle.
>> Eating lots of crunchy salads and especially enjoying the healthy, wholesome lunches at Cafe Bloom. And a pretty environment in which to sit and eat never hurt either.
>> Sponsoring my most favourite blog, indieberries, created by one of the coolest people I know, Che. Pop on over to look at my pretty ad space and if you haven’t already discovered indieberries, see ya later. You’ll be stuck there for days. Also, if you are a blogger, business owners, photographer, designer, general-all-round-cool-person, click here to sponsor indieberries too.
>> Dreaming about my holiday in Italy. Yes, I have decided that that is where I am going next year. Bottom line. Currently spending all the spare time pinning to my love(italy) Pinterest board.
>> Listening to Miley Cyrus. What?
>> Stalking Emma Jane Nation. This blog is my new favourite happy place. Also this post inspired said determination to visit Italy next year. And now you wanna go too, right? Let’s ALL go.
>> Shopping at the brand new Typo shop at Liberty Mall in Pietermaritzburg. Yes, you heard right. The Midlands opened a new shop before Durban did. And it’s glorious!
>> Totally digging this lady’s instagram feed, as well as her awesome illustrations.
>> Wearing pyjamas and my old Pass Out shirt. And the only pair of the four new pairs of jeans Andrew bought for me from London which actually fits. Which brings me to…
>> Running. EVERY SINGLE DAY.
