Fitness Craze

Lately I seem to be obsessed with gym and fitness, I'm at the gym about 3 times a week ( Wish I could do more , but alas a hectic schedule) and run about 10 km every saturday.
Sooo enjoying the changes to my body, it's amazing really.

My friends and I at a breast cancer walkathon over the weekend.

2012 Olympics and it's starring men

Everyone who knows me probably also knows that I'm a huge sports fan...so events like the olympics are super exciting for me. I especially loved the London Olympics because South Africa got 6 medals ( Our biggest haul ever) an I could not have been prouder..

Now on to the business of the day , the 5 hottest men in the olympics:

5.Usain Bolt

Well my best friend loves him so he gets a mention, plus he's super tall which in my book is always a plus 

 4. Cullen Jones  

American Swimmer

3. Ryan Lochte

Fine, fine white man'

 1. David Rudisha 

Kenyan Running sensation

1.Yohan Blake

Love Him

Sigh...Fours years is such a long time but next stop , Rio de Janeiro.

Time for new hair.

Sooo...I've been somewhere between very short and no hair for the past few years and I think I am finally ready for a change. I loved being bald but honestly a change is in order....some of the hairstyles I am considering. 

Loving the box braids

Hmmmm...Might be hard to maintain

Wondering whether  a hair dresser in Kempton Park can get this right...

My hair is still a little short for any of these currently , but you know I like to be prepared...

The Motherland

I have this weird affinity and connection with 3 African countries, that always seems to make me wonder.

1. The DRC - ever since I can remember I have had a very weird dream to go and be a missionary there for at least a year, that dream hasn't come true yet ( mostly because I have been too busy pursing other things...#hangsheadinshame) but i am really praying that it happens before I turn 30.

2. Nigeria  - Nigeria, Lagos in particular, is the first place I would visit if i had the opportunity to. I mean 16 million people (mostly black people) in 1 place , this I got to see.

The central business district of Lagos Island

3.Angola  - Okay my reasons fo wanting to go here are a bit shallow...I think they have the hottest men in Sourthern Africa by far ( Do not judge me). They also apparently have some of the best beaches and natural landscapes around.

Some winter style inspiration:

Okay I love this look but bare legs and a highveld winter do not really mix.

Random things happening in my life right now:
1. I have moved from Pretoria to the East Rand ( I wonder i this means I'll have to rename the blog)
2. I joined the Virgin Active close to my house and am finally taking small steps towards fitness.

Winter Time = Hard Time

I am having such a hard time dressing for work lately, somehow my wardrobe currently does not cover both 'stylish' and 'warm' at the same time.
So what usually happens is I'll be warm but not be stylish or worse be stylish and be cold....Hmm I wonder if this is a good enough excuse to go shopping...

Therefore as far as I am concerned winter must just end already...

Things inspiring me right now:
1. My new car
2. Sara Bareilles' new EP ( She always seems to express all of the things I never have the words to)
3. My new pink , Chanel inspired journal
4. My trip to Limpopo this afternoon, no place like home

P.s I have found my new favourite website for things that are fitness related....http://getfitwithnic.tumblr.com/
If her posts do not inspire you to get fit then nothing will.

If only I could afford this...

Okay I am not a designer label kind of girl ( most probarbly because I cannot afford to be ) but if I had the money I would buy these babies...

They are Alexander Wang's and they go for $765 ( I do not even want to think about how much that is in Rands)...Eish One day is one day.
Ciao.
