“Me time” always sounds like spa days and weekends away. Long baths and warm cups of tea while you spend hours wrapped up in your favourite book.

But let’s be honest, how often do you have the time for that. It’s so important though, incredibly important to find time in the chaos of your day to breathe, to centre yourself and check-in with yourself.

It is mental health awareness month and you are invited to a completely free webinar, which you can even attend anonymously.

 For many of us, every day is technically mental health awareness day. I’ve chatted about my own struggles at length and have been blessed with many DMs from people telling me they can relate, with that in mind I thought I’d share some important info that popped into my inbox this week.

Fry’s no-meat balls are one of my all time favourite vegan products and this spaghetti and “meatball” recipe makes it even yummier.

This is Rob’s recipe (as are most recipes in the house which require actual cooking) I’m more of a throw things together type girl.

Introducing Big Vic’s pizzeria right here in my hometown of Uitenhage(Kariega). Pre-covid (pre Uitenhage being called Kariega even, aka 2019) I used to do restaurant reviews all the time, but since we haven’t ventured out much, I haven’t had opinions to share. While accepting the “new normal” and wanting to promote local I thought I’d share a brand new spot in town, perfect for date night or girls night out.

Big Vic’s pizzeria is the second Big Vic in town (I feel like they missed the chance to call it Little Vic’s, just saying). The other one being more of a family steak house which has become our extended family’s unofficial birthday hangout… “we’re going to celebrate, so and so’s bday at Big Vic’s at 7, let me know if you can make it”.

I’ve chatted about my insecurities IRT weight a couple of times. As someone who had been the smallest in the room, the biggest in the room and now, pretty easily lost in a room, I know too well how the way a skirt fits can change your whole mood/day/how ppl interact with you.

Recently I’ve started wearing my clothes again, asking a whole different question when I stare myself down in a mirror.
I now ask… Does this look cute instead of, “Do I look fat in this?”
