2015 - June / July

Oops!  It looks like I’ve skipped a month ... but that’s how the chocolate chip cookie in my cookie jar crumbles ...

It is the 1^st of June!  Things have changed ... after 7 years at Planet Fitness, I’ve moved over to Virgin Active.  It’s a whole 10 km closer to our home!  Yes, of course I’ll miss my regular coffee friends at the gym, but I will go and visit them.

I’ve been to my 1^st official aqua-robics class this morning at 8 am.  By 9 am I was already showered and had my hair cut. What a pleasure.

A few weeks ago I had a 3 hour class in basic ‘beading’ for jewellery.  Well, I’m hooked (hahaha literally yeah).  We started off by changing an old (but lovely) shell necklace of mine.  It worked out perfect.

Do not be afraid of CHANGE ... Embrace it ... Yes, change can be daunting ... but change is good ... it strengthens you as a person. 

This issue is all about ... lunchbox.  The adult version.  My cousin, Lizelle, asked me a month ago for some advice on lunchboxes ...

I’m not giving recipes in this issue ... I’m giving suggestions.  Since there are such a huuuuuge variety of foods out there, you’ll have to ‘design’ your own lunchbox.

But I’m positive that my suggestions will give you quite a few ‘light bulb’ moments.

Have fun with the lunchboxes, be creative, be healthy ... so that you can still have a yummy Salted Caramel Pecan Cheesecake for tea ... or a Nutella Oreo Bacon Pizza ... and yes, I’ve tried all of these.  And bacon with a chocolate pizza is deeeevine!!!!!!  (Pizza del Forno)

Thanks for all your lovely emails, your chats, your pictures ... I really appreciate and love every single one.

For those of you in wet, cold towns ... dress warm.  For those in blissfully sunny Joburg ... go out, smell the fresh Winter air and thank Him for His abundance.
