*In Collaboration I’ve been on my fitness journey for a few months now and I’ve lost a few kilos. I can see my body is changing. So much so that my clothes are not fitting well on me at all because the clothes are way too big on me. So, the weekend I decided that enough was enough. I threw out practically all my clothes and went on Superbalist.com to create my fun spring wardrobe

I asked whether mom’s could drop off their kids at our home and then collect them again after the party. The mom’s seemed to be happy to drop off their kids.

Last May, Zahir surprised me with a mother’s day gift of note. A R500.00 gift voucher from Sorbet to use at my leisure. I normally get massages when I get vouchers but this time I decided to have a lash lift done. I’m not brave enough to try lash extensions. I kind of feel like it wont suit me. Anyway, I’m going off track. I’m not into change, or drastic changes so I thought a
