The Holiday in Pictures
Happy 2013, y’all. I took a 2 week break with limited access to civilisation and technology and I must say, I feel rested and re-energised for the first time in a very long time. 2012 was a crazy year for me. I put on my big-girl panties and did things like buy a home, move to a new city and start an exciting new job. All good things, but I’m looking forward to less change in 2013. Here’s to stability, health, happiness and good gin.
Releasing wishes for 2013 into the sky on the last day of work

My new obsession, Ginger Gorilla Perfume stick from Lush – all natural!
Wishing that one of these Missibaba handbags would miraculously find its way onto my arm. Sigh.
Scheckter’s Organic Energy. It’s a game-changer. And great with vodka.
My washi tape Christmas and wrapping from Typo
Deluxe Coffee, Roodehek Street. It’ll change your life.
Funny vandalism at Clarke’s. Best breakfast in Cape Town.
