June Book (Shirley, Goodness and Mercy)

This month's book was fun. Chris van Wyk is a brilliant and honest writer. He tells the story of his life; growing up in Riverlea during apartheid. There is so much history in this book and I am thankful for people like Chris van Wyk who share it. There are honestly so many awesome and tragic stories that are still untold in South Africa. I don't wanna give too much away. Just prepare yourself for laughs, even in tragic situations. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I hope you do too. He also includes some of his poetry in the book, which is a bonus.

Something New (Table Thirteen)

This is not REALLLY something new, but I hadn't been to Table Thirteen since last year and they made some changes... So... Yeah something new. The genius behind Table Thirteen (in Green Point) is Lara O'Sullivan. Lara Truly is a genius because not only is the food AMAZING but the decor is also incredible. You can tell that a ;lot of though and love went into the place.

Marcee and I had to handle some car business on Saturday morning. We had to be there obnoxiously early. So after the car business was handled we made our way to Table Thirteen for breakfast.

tea for me

cap for Marcee

This is what Marcee had; poached eggs with some yummy stuff

I need something like this for my dinner parties

I LOVE taking pics of Marcee
Saturday breakfast at TableThirteen could become a regular thing. I didn't take any pics of the place because it was kinda full and I didn't want the other people there to feel uncomfortable.

Via food 24 but this pic doesn't do the place justice and this was before 'the change'

Cry Me Out

I really like this song

Where are they?

Way Back When (Davina)

Female singers in the 90s dressed in a way I wished my mother would let me dress. But she wasn't having any of that. I love that Blue outfit with the Blue lipstick.

Elephant Shoes

Please let me apologise for starting off this intro with a cliche; Last week I was driving and listening to 'The Fresh Drive'. I don't listen to a lot of radio but if I'm in my car when the Fresh Drive is on, I will almost always tune in. This song came on and something happened inside of me. Its difficult to explain without sounding like a complete lunatic.

Before the chorus came in I was already in love with the melody and the guys sweet unassuming voice. I could tell almost immediately that this is the future of South African music. I didn't want the song to stop but I was also curious as to who this very talented guy was. Ladies and gents allow me to introduce you to Cape Town singer songwriter Mr Jimmy Nevis.I haven't been this excited about a song in a while. I have been singing this song ever since I heard it.

Holiday Needed

I have never been on holiday in my life. I don't mean it in the 'Beyonce takes a year off from her busy schedule' sense. I mean I have never packed my bags and gone somewhere to enjoy the sites etc. Visiting my parents and family in Soweto doesn't count ha haha.

I NEED to GO on HOLIDAY. You hear me universe and Grand Organised Design? I NEED to GO on HOLIDAY!

I thank you.

Awesome!! (Bearded and Black)

The internet is so amazing (THIS is not news). I found an interesting tumblr the other day. As always I was checking out art of kawaii and I ended up there somehow (after 40 mins of aimless browsing). Bearded and Black basically just shares photos of black men with beards. Initially I thought 'oh this doesn't look very interesting'. As you know things don't have to be interesting for you to continue mindless browsing.

I have never thought of myself as a beard girl, but after looking at some of those pictures... I think I might like men with beards. Ooooh lawdy! Have a look at some of the pics from Bearded and Black.

HELLOOOOO handsome stranger

Running Stuff

I may have never mentioned this before, but I have always been useless at 'physical' stuff. At school the teachers didn't even bother to try and get me involved because I was a 'creative' kid. So I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I discovered that I can run. Not only that... But I also enjoy running.

Marcee was the one who used to drag me to the promenade and ask me to just try. Recently she decided to run a race with @alambchop & @bohoparadox. A few days before the race she was starting to get nervous, so I offered to run the race with her. We both entered the 5km race, with no real training and finished in under 40 mins. Not bad at all :)

It was apparently so good that we may very well start training and do the Gun Run (10km). Eeeeekk!

The beautiful and inspirational Marcee

Running makes me pull weird faces
That's what I did this weekend :)

I did try to warn you

When I said that I LOVE Cee Lo Green's album (The Lady Killer), you thought I was playing didn't you? Well, I wasn't. Its been on repeat all day (again).








I think it is safe to say that the man can do no wrong in my eyes. The outfits in the 'I want you' video are KILLING me!! I need them in my life.

You can agree with me here or over at Twitter or Facebook. As long as we can agree that Mr Green is the biznis lol.
