Come to think of it, this year felt particularly busy for me. I'm not sure if its because I am a lot older that I have been so busy "adulting" that i didn't notice the months and weeks fly by. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm sure you've been wondering what has kept me so busy this year and if I can be completely honest, i just cant pin point one particular thing. I can tell you what is keeping me busy now and that is the house (a real house you guys!) my husband and i have bought. It is a bit of a fixer-upper with a lovely big garden for the 3 (not just one but 3) whole beagles we own. We had two until my beagle had puppies and i did not have the heart to let them all go (I Kim-Kardashian-ugly-cried when we had so let 3 of them go). Now, we have 3 beagles which we absolutely (want to murder often) but just cannot live without. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">With all that said, I did manage to squeeze in a few blog posts this year (whoop whoop) which is more than I can say for previous years and so i thought i would list some of my favourite blog posts for 2016. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1. My post on the bachelorette i went to this year was at <a href="http://lorelailette.blogspot.co.za/2016/03/celebration-saturday-pt-2-beefcakes.html">Beefcakes</a> in JHB. It may not be a big deal to some but it was for me as I am INCREDIBLY conservative. I was not going to go to this bachelorette because, I didn't know anyone and i was fairly concerned about what was going to happen at this show. I ended up meeting some lovely ladies and laughing until my stomach hurt</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3. Would it be too cliche to have a post on Starbucks as my third favourite post for 2016? I have been so fortunate to travel growing up that Starbucks that it brings back some amazing memories. These days I am trying to get my husband on plane (he has a claustrophobia problem and the thought of a confined space for extended hours freaks him out) so that we can create new memories together. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">5. Sticking with the South African theme, i finally decided to move away from buying skincare and supporting locally produced products. I am still amazed at the amazing products being produced in this beautiful country. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sure, Joburg is no Cape Town, but for the folks living far away from beautiful Western Cape province, Harties, as it is otherwise known is a true gem for those of us living in the hustle and bustle of the gold rush province of egoli (the city of Gold). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The husband and I have had jam packed schedules the past few months and expect to have an even busier schedule now that we have bought our first home. It was because of the busy months past and the busy months ahead that we decided to set some time aside to catch up on our "date nights" in the form of a "date day" in Harties.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It is one of our favorite places to get out of our routines and spend sometime together close to the beautiful Hartebeespoort dam. Now, the things to do in this area range from balloon rides to a boat cruise at sunset. Of course we just couldn't do everything today but we did decide we would pop in at the<a href="http://frenchtoastharties.co.za/"> French Toast Coffee Cafe</a> which was built in honour of the movie produced by the creative South African company "Hartiwood Films" (post <a href="http://lorelailette.blogspot.co.za/2016/04/day-out-pretville.html">here</a>).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Before I move on and mention where we went next, I must just say that everyone had the same idea to get out to Harties as we did today. I must advise that bookings for a favourite restaurant is a must especially at the French Toast Coffee Cafe. We were surprised that French Toast was fully booked up for breakfast. Our only option was to have a cappuccino and a croissant at the "Baked-away" patisserie next door to the cafe. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Our next stop was at the <a href="http://www.hartiescableway.co.za/">Aerial Cable Way in Hartebeesport</a> which had recently been revamped a few years ago and is a lovely outing for the family. Once you have reached the top of the mountain you can take a short walk around the path or stop for a Pizza at the Pizza Shack. Recently the Cable way has added live entertainment on top of the mountain and a small (i mean really small) massage parlour which also over-looks the town of Hartebeespoort.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A couple months ago the family and I took a weekend getaway to the beautiful little town of Pilgrims rest. This short breakaway was spent at four starred Crystal Springs Lodge just outside of Pilgrims Rest Town (known for its mining history during 1873 Gold Rush as well as the <a href="http://www.sahistory.org.za/article/second-anglo-boer-war-1899-1902">Anglo Boer War</a>) located in the beautiful province of Mpumalanga (<a href="http://www.graskop.co.za/">Graskop</a> area). This short getaway introduced me to more of the beauty South Africa has to offer as well as some of the incredible sites in the country i had always hear about but never seen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We decided to spend the day (as most South Africans would on a Saturday or a Sunday) slowly making our way to the various sites we had listed on our weekend "bucket list"- listed below. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">What makes this area such an attraction besides the fact that it it on route to the Kruger National Park (and the truly spectacular surroundings). This area of Mpumalanga has one of the worlds largest green canyons known as the Blyde River Canyon. This beautiful canyon holds a number of unique attractions which makes up most of the Panoramic route. I will share these attractions in my post shortly. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was also reminded that the 1873 Gold Rush had a huge influence on the discovery of this canyon. Some of the attractions such as Bourkes Luck Potholes was discovered during this time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We firstly started our sight seeing tour of the Graskop area at The Pinnacle. What a unique thing it was for me, a local South African girl to see. I have seen images of rock formations like this in pictures around the world. I did not expect to see this unique formation in South Africa. This Pinnacle is a single rock which, in my opinion looked as though it was floating in the valley of the mountain. It is definitely worth a visit.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Our second stop was the whole point of the Journey - God's Window. This part of Mpumalanga has sentimental value for my husbands family. We knew that we had to seize the moment that day, according to some of my friends and family who frequent the area have said that often Gods Window is overcast and covered by clouds but this particular day had exceptional for the area.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The third stop for us was Bourkes Luck Potholes. It is the only place in South Africa where you will pay to see a natural "pothole". It really is a wonder to see. These potholes were formed over centuries where two rivers, the river Treur and the Blyde Rivers join at the Blyde River Canyon. The joining of these rivers over time has worn into the sand rock forming these Potholes.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We couldn't very well make a trip down this way and not stop in at the picturesque <a href="http://www.pilgrims-rest.co.za/">Pilgrims Rest Town </a>. I must say, this little town is such a gem but i really feel people don't visit this town enough. I'm not sure if people aren't aware of the Town or don't make enough time to stop by but really, i loved it and if you know you're going to pass by, why not support the residents? Now I'm sure you're wondering why I am harping on about this, but Pilgrims Rest Town is a historical town in South Africa and was quite the destination during the Gold Rush in 1873 when Pilgrims Rest was proclaimed a gold field after gold had been discovered in Pilgrims Creek.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">What i loved about this lovely town was that while I was walking down the street i felt like i was walking into an old vintage Black and white movie. All buildings in this village have been maintained to keep its original historic appearance (From the post office to the petrol station and even the signage on each building). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As you all know now, I have been searching for a <b>local</b> skin care brand that I can use in the future not just as an attempt to support locally produced product but also to save on costs and lastly to know what ingredients are found in these products. After all, we are putting these products onto and into our skin and bodies daily.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My first attempt at local skin care products started with a post on <a href="http://lorelailette.blogspot.co.za/2016/06/tried-and-tested-skin-creamery.html">Skin Creamery</a>. To be honest, I was a little nervous at turning my back on an international brand I had been faithful to for a while, so i started with the everyday cream and although I thoroughly enjoyed it my skin needed more. This is why i turned to Skoon Skincare as my second attempt at Local South African Skincare products. This time around I pretty much ordered the full range in travel sizes so I could decide which products worked for me and which products didn't. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Skoon Skincare gets major brownie points from me. Why I say this is <b><u><i>it is</i></u></b> a big deal for me to place an order online and have to wait 7 days before the parcel gets delivered. I wont lie, it sucks! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">However, I </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">was thrilled to have my parcel arrive 2 days after I placed my order (round of applause) so I got to test these lovely products </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">sooner than I expected. </span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Since I received my parcel at work I couldn't wait to get home. Part of my winding down routine is to take my make up off and have a hot bath. I immediately dove right in and went with the lovely creamy cleanser along with the face cloth in my picture below, what an experience!

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have so much I want to say about my weekend away in the
Drakensberg Mountains a few weeks back, but I don’t think anything I will say
will do the Drakensberg Mountains justice.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> A few months ago I mentioned
that my husband and I were spending our second wedding anniversary away in the
Drakensburg with friends (who happened to get married one year after we did on
the same day as us) and at the time I hadn’t been to the Drakensburg mountains
for a number of years so staying in a small part of this beautiful province last
year taught me this year that I have been pretty naïve about the Drakensberg
mountains. In fact I realised that I am
very much a tourist in my own country (and here I was confident about
being a born and bred South African) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was reminded that the </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Drakensburg Mountains is a World Heritage Site and I truly felt privileged that this Heritage site is in South Africa. It proves to me time and again what a beautiful country i live in. I say this with total confidence as i have traveled to some beautiful countries, i have seen some incredible sights and South Africa amazes me each and every time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The family and I spent this time away at the <a href="http://www.champagnesportsresort.com/">Champagne Sports Resort</a>. We chose this venue as it was fairly central and the list of </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">activities were endless, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">this was </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">important for some of the family and friends we went away with to ensure everyone could do as they pleased.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My plans for the weekend was to
do as little as possible. Take In the fresh air and just spend some time with
family and once again take in the beautiful scenery. How could we not when Champagne Sports resort made sure we were as comfortable as possible. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Other things to do in the area was go for a chocolate
tasting at the Chocolate Bar (just across the road from Champagne Sports
Resort) There you could pair coffee with chocolate. We opted for the chocolate
fondant and coffee - It was a real
treat! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And last but not least, there was this quaint little village or centre if you will (Thokozisa) on route to Champagne Sports resort.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I follow a number of local South African blogs which focus solely
beauty. I spend a lot of time taking their advice and reading up on the products
they have tried and tested. because after all, beauty is something that means
the world to a woman. It defines who we are and of course I am no different. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I noticed a few of the wonderful blogs I follow (some linked in my Instagram posts <a href="http://lorelailette.blogspot.co.za/2016/01/amazing-south-african-instagrams.html">{1}</a> & <a href="http://lorelailette.blogspot.co.za/2016/03/amazing-south-african-instagramers-2.html">{2}</a>) have recently mentioned quite a few local beauty brands in South Africa and it definitely made me consider
the beauty products I spend my money on. I am finding now more than ever that EVERYTHING is just.so.expensive! There has also been a fair amount of discussions on the positives and negatives of some of these products; are th</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">ey organic, is it really making your skin look better and are you saving any money? These are the questions I have been asking myself lately and the biggest one is how do I get more out of my product and can I save money at the same time? I have also felt that I just want to try and simplify my life a little more, make healthier decisions for the sake of<b> later</b> on and not for the sake of<b> now</b>. These questions </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">are also the reasons why I have pushed myself to try something different, to try something natural, more affordable and specifically something <b>local</b>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Last week I had a wonderful surprise on my twitter notifications from the lovely Lon<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">é</span> at <a href="http://www.simplyorganizelife.com/">Simply Organize Life</a>. She has challenged me </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">to share a little more about myself</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> by nominating me for the Liebster Award. I am excited to be a part of this challenge :) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Liebster Award focuses on introducing newbie bloggers to the </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">blog-o-sphere by challenging a few newbie bloggers to answer a few questions about themselves. Once these bloggers have answered their questions, linked back to the blogger they have the opportunity to nominate and challenge other newbie bloggers. What is great about this challenge is no one is obligated to complete this challenge, sometimes as we all know, getting a post out on a certain day can be quite a challenge. but i felt it would be a great opportunity for my visitors (new and old) to get to know a little more about me. </span></span></div>

A Midnight in Paris with Owen Wilson and Rachel Mc Adams. Every time I watch this movie I travel back to Paris. I love that Owen Wilson's character Gil meets great Artists,writers and musicians - I suppose I would love to meet them too and I feel I do whenever I watch this movie. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I thought I'd share the best part of my birthday last week. The arrival of Starbucks in South Africa! It was (still is actually) a pretty big deal for the entire province of Gauteng. For some, Starbucks brings the opportunity to experience the Western world. For me, i was transported back to all of my trips abroad, running through train stations, walking through town squares and sitting in airports waiting for planes. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">I dont know what it is lately, but my sweet tooth has really </span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">gotten out of control</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"> and even, unbearable at times (if that is even possible!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> It was because of this I decided to find a guilt free alternative (with thanks to the advice from <a href="http://wellnessinthecity.co.za/" target="_blank">Wellness in the City's</a> blog post) I remembered I stumbled across <a href="http://moonbeanunbakery.co.za/" target="_blank">Moonbean Artisan Unbakery</a> last year but hadn't considered this would be the answer to all my future cravings in the future. These macaroon treats at Moonbean allow you to indulge without feeling bad about it. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I decided not to post about this product until I could share these treats with other family members who are also trying to eat healthier on a daily basis and the reactions were pretty spectacular (imagine if they let me take photos of their reactions - the pictures would be priceless). </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I found my favourite Moonbean Unbakery Macaroon was the cookies and cream flavour. Although I'm not sure if I can say that since I haven't yet tried the strawberry and mint flavours. Normally, vanilla is my go-to flavour for everything but this Macaroon Cookies and cream flavour is pretty special and i love the minty flavour from the mint macaroons and honestly, I regret buying one box. I think I should have bought a few because I doubt one box will not see us into the weekend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Each box of </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Moonbean </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Macaroons come in two packets of 3 macaroons, giving you a total of 6 delicious, sugar cane free, gluten free, diary free treats in a box. Might I just add, I got excellent service from the Moon bean team as well. I placed my order on Monday and by the Wednesday I had my treats. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXe2_gUY0-k1jnk7eGBJuODYZyJdLG2lLXQ2ws7A745GVap_ld9DDAGKLbyPT_toKM8N2v0wAlEim1u2aMTwIq6ykCMftpzIcc2A7G0swztBt0fioTsqhR31aJ_fOcWpE56RGLAwA45vRB/s1600/2016-04-13+08.11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXe2_gUY0-k1jnk7eGBJuODYZyJdLG2lLXQ2ws7A745GVap_ld9DDAGKLbyPT_toKM8N2v0wAlEim1u2aMTwIq6ykCMftpzIcc2A7G0swztBt0fioTsqhR31aJ_fOcWpE56RGLAwA45vRB/s640/2016-04-13+08.11.jpg" width="438" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And judging by my husbands reaction might I add, couldn't leave these treats alone after I had presented them to him. I will be repeating my order of these Macroon treats </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">on a monthly basis. In fact, my husband </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">insisted I buy these and even asked when I would be placing my order (Happy wife moment). He actually <i>instructed</i> (no exaggeration here) me to buy the cookies and cream flavour. I didn't buy the strawberry flavour this time, so it will definitely be on my next order next month. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">All in all, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was so impressed with the product AND the service and if this blog post was a review and not about the local handmade products available in South Africa I would rate </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Moonbean Unbakery Macaroon's a 5/5</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have quite a knack for finding things especially if its on the world wide web. So when i discovered its something for my beagles i started thinking of spoiling my dogs with these lovely finds. And VERY soon (what a coincidence) I will need to replace their collars and their leashes and I'm really debating on <a href="http://www.benjiandmoon.co.za/" target="_blank">Benji + Moon</a>. I can see all of their </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.445px;">artisanal wear oozes quality</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23.445px;"> and simplicity but</span> my beagles have a tendency to chew everything - even each others collars! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A while back, a friend of mine went to <a href="http://pretville.co.za/" target="_blank">Pretville</a>, located in Hartebeesport for an engagement photo-shoot and told me, knowing I love all things old fashioned and vintage that this is a spot i have to go to! From what I understood at the time this was a spot that had a museum a milkshake cafe and was inspired by the 50's (I was already sold). But when I went to Pretville for myself I discovered that Pretville is the location where the Afrikaans musical based in the 50's "Pretville" was filmed by Paul Kruger who happens to be the owner of <a href="http://www.hartiwoodfilms.co.za/" target="_blank">Hartiwood Films </a>(you may recognise other movies of his; French Toast and Liefling). This Film set has now been opened to the public where you can visit a museum, watch the Pretville or <a href="http://hartiwoodfoodandfilmshow.co.za/" target="_blank">French Toast </a>movie at the bi-scope or have a milkshake or two! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">We transitioned from the wonderful afternoon into a very exciting evening at Beefcakes in Bedfordview. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The bride-to-be chose <a href="http://beefcakes.co.za/bedfordview/" target="_blank">Beefcakes</a> (in case you were wondering this is <u><i><b>not</b></i></u> a strip club but rather a drag queen show) as her preferred spot for her Bachelorette and might I just say, I thought it really was a great choice!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Beefcakes is definitely geared up to ho</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">st an event with a little pizzazz. What really impressed me was the fact that parking was in a secure enclosed area. The waiters at beefcakes (men only) were excellent. I'm not sure if they are trained to sweet-talk the ladies because we were certainly well looked after. I was especially impressed that these waiters were able to handle the night as Beefcakes was full to capacity with a total of 11 bachelorette parties that night. Of course I cant mention Beefcakes without mentioning the witty and hilarious shows (I was left in stitches a couple of times). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was certainly impressed. You see, I am a very conservative person and so naturally I was nervous about going. I was worried about what granny would think of the photos I would be tagged in on Facebook. At the end of this evening I realised I was worrying about nothing (like I always do) and now I am so sad the weekend is over. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Three years ago almost to the day, in preparation for my big wedding day did i start going to Sorbet to get my nails done and met this lovely lady who would become a special friend to me in </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">and outside of the salon. We would exchange stories of our lives and we found that we </span><b style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;"><i>really</i></b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> got on well with each other. So much so that my husband knew that when I was going to get my nails done I would probably be out most of the day! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Fast forward to the present day and this lovely lady is getting married! <i>*All around cheers and applause*</i> They are <b><i>such</i></b> a lovely couple - take my word for it! I am fortunate enough to be invited to her big day and so naturally I was invited to her mad hatters themed Kitchen Tea :) This friend was also gracious enough to let me share the lovely photos i took on Saturday (I asked really nicely). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And so, another weekend has flown by and we are back to another new week (and the end of another month!) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This weekend I spent a lot of time doing nothing – I certainly
try not to do anything most weekends but honestly I needed to “time-out” this
weekend as my March calendar is pretty full (I’m really excited to share pics
of a bachelorette and wedding I am attending this year). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This weekend I spent a fair amount of time with the family.
We went out for breakfast this past Saturday at the lovely “<a href="http://www.thevictoriansecret.co.za/" target="_blank">The VictorianSecret</a>” which never fails to disappoint. As always we received excellent service
and delicious food! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A friend of ours lives and works on a game lodge in Limpopo and we have been dying to pack up our beagles and pop in for a weekend. So when he invited us (beagles included) to </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">join him for valentines day with his lovely lady</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">. We really couldn't</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> say no, and honestly we didn't</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> want to. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You see our lives pretty much revolve around what can we do next, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> what will be the most affordable and can we take the beagles </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">(anyone who has a beagle will know just how busy they really are...

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My husband and I woke up early this morning so we could walk our over active beagles (ADHD could be a better word to describe them). We have finally had rain here in Joburg (which we cannot complain about) but it always seems to rain when we want to take the dogs to the park. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It is always rewarding walking them with a view like this, but watching the sunrise with this view almost settles the mind before the start of a new day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2016 started out with a bang and we (hubby and i) have since been busy from the time the clock clicked over from 2015 to 2016. One of our biggest resolutions for this year is to make more time for each other. This resolution has not been too difficult for us and it probably means we will be taking as many weekends as we can to dedicate more time to each other. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Last weekend we took some time out to get out, get some fresh air by popping in in <a href="http://www.dullstroom.biz/?source=googleadwords&gclid=Cj0KEQiAxMG1BRDFmu3P3qjwmeMBEiQAEzSDLh_A8H0L_x6fa8em4KF2U-xzc469RMgdf8dItHX5OGAaAiFM8P8HAQ" target="_blank">Dullstroom. </a>This was a fairly impromptu decision for us but a much needed break away from the hustle and bustle in Joburg. </span></div>
