26 Things...(Part 1)

I am turning 26 in about 5 months and I am kind of crazy about birthdays , they just make me realise that I am growing older (Duh) and therefore should be reaching for more . Usually I draw up a list of really elaborate and big plans that I plan to accomplish within that year. More times than not unfortunately I fail miserably.
This year however I've decided to take things much slower and just draw a list of things that I would enjoy doing or would find adventurous.
Sooo...a list of 26 things I want to do before I turn 26.
I'll cancel these things off the list as I go along and they are accomplished, I know some of them will be hard to do but I wouldn't do even attempt them if I don't set the goal, so I might as well try.

1. Watch a horror movie by myself at the cinema.
I know this would not be a big deal to most people , I am however the biggest scaredy cat I know and have never even seen a horror movie , true story.
2. Send flowers to my best friend for no reason.
She's just an awesome human being and deserves it.
3. Take my parents and little brother out for dinner at a nice restaurant.
4. Test drive a car I know I cannot afford ( 3 Series anyone?)
5. Dance in the rain ( I have actually done this a few times before and I love it sooo much)
6. Run a 10K race with the girls.
7. Take a pole dancing class with the girls ( I think we'll do this for my birthday next year)
8. Read the new testament from beginning to end.

That's it for now , I am thinking up the things as I go along.

  Love theses photos of some amazing lounges and Libraries. 

Nothing says Baws like a cute bookshelf and a faux fur couch

Big couch + Lots of books  = Heaven

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

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...

XOXO

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.
