The YOLO continues. I bought Luke a tattoo for his birthday a few weeks ago, got chatting to the tattoo artist about an idea I had for me in the back of my mind...and, the next week I was sitting down for a 5 and a half hour session. I figured while the beaches were closed and I wasn’t able to swim, I may as well get a tattoo, right? It’s local flora (proteas, lilies, frangipani) and Harry Potter’s deathly hallows. Will go back for the final session to finish it in a week or so⚡️

Hello, gorgeous. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Swapping the ocean for the mountain, if only for a few hours. But, going home is always the best ❤️

It’s no secret that I’ve been on quite the journey - both physically and mentally - over the past few months (more accurately, since May last year). I’m finally getting my butt into gear and writing a blog post with all the details - my mental state at the time, what I did, why, with whom etc. If there’s anything in particular you want to know, pop a comment below and I’ll include it. And, another gratuitous shot of this colourful set from @mrpfashion (swipe right to see the fun back!) #gifted

At 17h00 on a Friday, is there a better time to remind you about the devastating effect lockdown is having on our local wine (and beer) industry? It’s so much more than us not being able to enjoy a glass of our favourite tipple - it’s thousands and thousands of jobs in the line, and an industry on its knees. If you’re able to order from your favourite winery for delivery after lockdown, please do. They need all the help they can get to survive.

High five @mrpfashion for creating fun, affordable, inclusive, workout-meets-life options with their new REDX range! Not only do I love that I can find cute matching sets in fun prints, but that they’re as comfy to lounge around in, throw on a t-shirt to go grocery shopping in - or, do an at-home workout in. Here’s to everyday athletes! 🙌🏼 #gifted

@harvestcafect has been our coffee go-to since we moved, but today was the first day we actually sat down and had something to eat! Avo rose on toasted sourdough with a perfect poached egg - simplicity at its finest. It seems we might have found a new breakfast spot, too!

The first Monday of the year - and my first day back at work - and it feels like trying to find any sense of motivation or optimism is like wading though mud. I’m normally all bright and shiny and excited and the epitome of “go get ‘em” when 1 January rolls around, but this year I wouldn’t mind waking up when it’s February. Or March. Or April, to be honest. I’m trying to write down plans, goals, good habits I want to get into - just to find something positive to focus on, but, let’s be honest - month 10 and day 283 (!) of lockdown life and a pandemic is absolutely taking its toll. Unrelated - the fact that I was wearing something other than the leggings or pjs yesterday (that have been somewhat of a uniform lately), deserved to be documented.

I won’t lie, I had a proper teary meltdown when lockdown level 3 was announced. The ocean has become such a big part of my mental health toolkit - and, not having access to it for 3 weeks - I knew I’d have to find something to fill that gap and keep me going. Enter Pilates. It’s been on my to-do list ever since we moved here, and lockdown was the perfect opportunity to make it happen. Small classes - no more than 6 people - open doors and windows that allow the ocean breeze in, and an hour on focusing on nothing else besides your breath, your body...and, the pain (because goodness me, it’s amazing how such seemingly simple movements are anything but). I’ve signed up for 2 classes a week for the foreseeable future; and expect it’s a mental health habit I’ll keep up, even after we get our ocean back.
