Life. It’s tricky little bugger sometimes. In all honesty, it’s a lot like that unbearably annoying kid in your grade 3 class who lived to test the teacher’s patience. Throwing things, giving attitude and never really doing what you want it to. Charming… The road that life makes us walk is paved with all sorts…

Of Dates, Dongas and Dung Beetles…
So I guess you could say that things got a little wild two weekends ago… With a spontaneous trip to Phinda that sprang up out of nowhere like a blind pimple on the eve of your first date (ahhhh, the trials and tribulations of puberty), Ryan and I set off on a long-overdue getaway. Having…
The Long and Short(bread) of it…
“I’ll do it tomorrow.” – The most common thought or statement us mortals throw out there when we decide to procrastinate. We feel that the standard allotted time in a single day (24 hours… 25 if you eat a Bar One) simply isn’t enough to accomplish all that is required of us and even more…
(Cinnamon) Rolling in the Deep…
Life. It ain’t for sissies, that’s a fact. But what separates the “men” from the “boys” is how well we roll with what life throws our way. Sometimes it’s an easily caught underhanded throw and other times life comes in hot like Dale Steyn with a one times fast bowl that you dive for and…
Fudged up.
Fudge. It’s my third favourite F-word and narrowly gets the bronze medal behind the words “Friday” and “fuuuuu….” yeah, you know which one. That last one seems to slip out when I’m caught off guard, angry or just having a bad day. For example, I use it when I wake up forgetting that it’s Monday,…
Ya Bacon me Crazy!
Jack Johnson was definitely on to something when he said that some things were, “Better Together.” Cookies and cream, wine and chocolate and of course bread and butter. You could always have one without the other, but let’s be real… life’s too short for that. The world has seen its fair share of power couples….
Going Nuts.
We’re all a bit nuts. Some people are the run-of-the-mill peanuts that give you exactly what you’re expecting time and time again, whilst others are the Brazil nuts that no one ever really chooses the first time around (shame). Then there’s the pistachios… Exotic, a bit strange looking, in your face and almost impossible…
Pear-Shaped
To put it plainly, Durban has been hot. How hot? Well, hotter than a GHD that’s been left on all night long, hotter than the tempers of the “boets” on Matric Rage (who definitely haven’t been juicing, by the way) and hotter than Satan’s, um… I’m sure you get the picture. For those of you…
Do you know the Muffin Man?
I like things cheesy. How cheesy? Cheesier than a Michael Bolton music video, cheesier than a rhyming Hallmark Card on Valentines Day and cheesier than a Phil Dunphy philosophy on “Modern Family.” Okay, I’m sure you get the picture. Whether its romance, 80’s music or a slice of toast, everything in life is better when…
A lovely bunch of Coconuts
And just like that it was Movember. In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of years, that wasn’t a typo. But for those that haven’t the foggiest clue what I’m going on about, here’s a brief history lesson: The movement that is Movember first began one night in 1999 when…
The battle of the Big Mac…
It’s often said that we learn something new every day. Whether it’s an entirely new fact that we had no knowledge of before, or a simple “life hack” that makes tasks simpler, better and faster (sorry Standard Bank), what we learn goes a long way and often makes a huge difference to everyday life. What…
