Kinda loving going through my wardrobe again to get dressed - between existing pieces I just haven’t worn in the past year, and the fruits of my lockdown-sale-shopping, it’s a bit of a lucky packet. Overdressed for a croissant run before brunch with friends? Very likely. — 267 23

Happy new job day! Felt a little out of sorts not having a dedicated space for me (now working from home full time) - I mean, the mini meltdown could have also been caused by bad sleep and having 5 meetings today - but, created a little pretty space for myself to conquer the world and feeling so much better 💪🏼 What does “working from home” look like for you? — 117 16

It feels like the end of an era. Saying goodbye to my job and office today, and almost as part of that - my regular, my home-away-from-home, my daily coffee and frequent Negroni - @thehouseofmachines_cpt. It’s been two years ,of twice-a-day-big-doubles, Brian and the team. I’ll be back. — 49 2

If you were wondering how much eucalyptus it takes to cover your 🍈🍈, the answer is approximately R45 worth. I’m about 10 months late to this photo trend, but cannot explain how fun it was, or how great I smelled afterwards. And yes, I absolutely do need a new pair of jeans. — 253 8

While there’s no denying the beauty of spring and summer, I’m quite looking forward to a cosy winter. I can already see the trees slowly turning golden, and the faintest chill in the air in the early morning. Maybe it just seems easier navigating a pandemic and lockdown when you aren’t tempted to go outside and enjoy the sunshine? Blankets, candles, tea, books, baths. I’m going to be unbearably hygge this winter, you’ve been warned. — 30 2

I’ve long wanted a special piece of jewellery - from me, to me - as a physical reminder to myself that “I can do hard things”. Because, let’s be honest, the past 12 months have been nothing if not tough. I had very specific requirements - real gold, not plated, and featuring a citrine stone. A little drop of liquid sunshine and happiness on my finger. I found this (literal) gem on @brennaloulady and couldn’t have wished a more perfect ring into existence. A citrine, flanked by white topazes and two smaller citrines, in solid 9kt gold - I couldn’t love it more. If you want to support a local business, and remind yourself that you too can do hard things - it’s the “Capture the Limelight” ring and starts at R2 800 ✨ Swipe right for a closer view at this beauty. — 164 13

2020 has taught me to embrace whatever life throws at me - and, it seems 2021 is no different. So, hello new job - I officially join the @best10.app team later this month, as Head of Digital! I did their program from May to August last year, and, they quite literally changed my life. With the constant support of a dietician and fitness coach, I learned how to properly nourish and celebrate my body - and, what it means to treat it with love. Swipe right to see the physical difference the program made (13kg and over 60cm lost) - but, the mental and emotional change is incalculable - and, I’m sure it’s something you’ve picked up here if you’ve followed me for the past year or so. I’m honoured to join a company that quite literally, changes lives. — 340 34
