About Jet Lag
It’s really horrible, I feel confused, exhausted and most of all, slightly ill. It [...]
Week 3, 2012
New goal – speak in terms of weeks the way “parent’s-to-be” do.
Why?
It seems to make the accomplishments of each week seem more significant as well as keep track of time rather efficiently.
Week 1 was predominantly filled with planning of projects for work as well as self.
Week 2 delved into more detail in preparation for week [...]

And just like that, life ends …
My grandmother died at 11am on 14 October 2011. I was in the air, flight delayed and had not made it in time to see her before she died, but at least I saw her the week before. My mom is the strongest woman I know. She has kept it together for the family, even [...]
Week 19-24 September 2011, what a week …
Meetings, product launches, conducting interviews, running around in an office which looks like a construction site, dinner with partner’s family, dinner with friends and let’s throw in a photo shoot for Cosmo (Fun Fearless Female: December 2011 Edition), what a week it has been.
Its easy to slip back into the madness that is everyday, but a [...]
Phuket, Thailand – fookatylor …..

I even managed to read 3/4 of Shantaram, what an amazing book, based on a [...]
Sunday, 24th July 2011
It’s been an insane week, then again the past month has flown by in an instant. Today however, the love of my life returns after a two-week stint in the USA. Now two weeks is not a long time, however the time difference made it challenging to have a decent conversation since either I was [...]
Monday 18th July 2011, happy birthday Madiba..
It’s our ex President’s birthday today.
Happy birthday Madiba!
I admire this man so much. We all know the inspirational, peaceful man he is today, but I have a documentary of his life, which was not easy. We complain about the little things in life when we have it easy because of great leaders like this.
Whether or [...]
New experiences v2.0
So Jozi is a monster that can only be devoured when living here. The experience I have as a visitor vs. residing here is so far apart that it warrants a blog post.
did you know that Johannesburg is one of the biggest urban jungles in the world?
did you know that Johannesburg has more shopping malls [...]
How I spent a cold Saturday in Jozi …
Last night my partner and I made our way in the freezing weather to watch one of our favorite bands, THE SCRIPT, perform at the Coca Cola Dome. Having spent the last seven days nursing bronchitis, I was nowhere near ready to venture out, but alas, Golden Circle tickets as a gift, cannot be starred [...]
