What Bores You?

What bores you? I absolutely love football, especially the Premier League (PL) and Fantasy Premier League. I wait with much anticipation for when my team, Arsenal, have a match. I’m even more excited when the PL conjures up a double game week where they get to play twice in one week! Since moving to London […]

The Fiery Dragon

What is your favorite drink? I remember my first time trying this new drink that had hit the shelves of South Africa. It wasn’t what I’d call a ‘commercial’ drink. Well it may be now… But at the time one had to search the right shops to find this very specific drink. In South Africa […]

From The Coast of South Africa to The Streets of London

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you. Birthed in the little wine town of Stellenbosch, my Freedom of Movement (FOMs) sneakers became my favourite pair of shoes.

3 Steps To Stop Worrying What Others Think

I recently had counselling and I opened up about something I feared owning: I worry about what other people think. The one place I worry a lot and can often consume me is what will people think of me if I’m wrong or I make a mistake? I mean will others cancel me because I […]
