Ek het iets gedoen wat ek nie moes nie. Ek het die man wat veronderstel is om my pa te wees genooi vir middagete – terwyl hy by sy nuwe familie kuier. Ek het hom hierdie kans gegee omdat ek gedink het, miskien – net miskien – het hy al besef dat eie familie dalk meer beteken as ander mense.
Wil jy 12 uur iets gaan eet? Ek sal jou optel. Stel nie belang om in te kom of een van hulle saam te vat.
Ek kan nie
– die kleinseun van haar* wil Pretoria toe gaan om sy sussie te gaan haal
Dit sou lekker gewees het om te kon uitgaan
Ek sit net hier in die son
*(die ding van Delmas)
Wat ek hoor, is nie lekker om te hoor nie, want dis net nog ‘n klap. In plaas van om iets te sê soos “wat van more of oormore” gaan dit oor ander mense se planne. Die ander mense wat hy bo sy eie kind en kleinkinders gekies het.
Ek het al geleer om nie te veel van hom te verwag nie. Ek het my hand uitgesteek. Ek het die moeite gedoen. En nou is ek klaar.

March was hectic. I celebrated 22 days of birthday—because why not? My birthday kicks off on 1 March and runs until the actual day. I treated myself a bit, got the kids to say “Happy Birthday” each day, went on a cruise, and made it to Loftus.
The MSC 5-day cruise video still needs editing, but here’s the short version. We booked the cheapest cabin with a window—just enough space for the four of us (as we only sleep in the room). The kids slept on beds attached to the walls, which worked fine. They loved the window, sitting on the shelf and watching the ocean. Entertainment was solid, except for the stand-up comedian (not my thing, so not his fault). Food was decent—nothing fancy, but you can’t expect five-star dining when feeding over a thousand people at once. The buffet was handy for snacks, but queuing with kids was a nightmare. Some people were so desperate to get their over-filled helping that they had no problem pushing kids out of the way. Also, standing in line with strangers practically leaning on me? Not a fan. The same chaos happened when disembarking at Portuguese Island—one woman tried to shove past my kids on the stairs. She got an earful.
The Blue Bulls vs. Leinster game at Loftus was great. A stadium full of people loudly disagreeing with the ref? Quality entertainment. The kids had a blast.
Oh, and my sister and I got another ear piercing. Almost overpaid at a popular jewellery shop (R1,000 for two persons), but she caught the total just in time. Quick detour to Dischem, and we got it done for just over R500. Much better. Four piercings on each ear feels no different than 3.
Sip on bubbly and enjoy tapas and sweet treats as you create your own custom lipstick in the color of your choice. It’s a fun experience to mix your own lipstick colour.
Join us at Ouma Isie’s Tea Garden and Restaurant in Centurion for a fun lipstick-making workshop from 10:00 to 12:00. Craft your very own custom lipstick shade. Whether you bring a friend or come solo, you’re guaranteed to have a blast.
I will also be in Ohrigstad with my Lipstick-making Workshop as part of the local primary school’s fundraising efforts in August. Keep an eye on the school’s Facebook page for announcements if you live in the area.
I am also finalising details for a lipstick workshop in Middelburg, Mpumalanga.
The question I get asked most is WHEN IS THIS SALE… so, here is the answer to that question 🙂
I feel like I’ve accomplished so much in January. Maybe it is because my December was an absolute **** show for me. (I’m still not laughing about it.)
Then I’m back at the workshop thing, new partners and all. (Long story and I don’t want to talk about it ever.) The first LipLab lipstick workshop for 2025 is in Polokwane with 2 Johannesburg workshops already scheduled. In case you were wondering, yes, we do bring the fun to private parties or work functions.
I’m always on the hunt for Barbie things for myself and the kids – and Disney for the kids. (Whilst I can wear the 15 to 16 year size T-shirt, I do prefer little looser cuts.) Pep has been on fire since last year for both Barbie and Disney. Ackermans brings in the most new rangers consistently. Jet, (and Bash) has the most amazing Barbie and Stitch. Mr Price sometimes have great stuff.
Then, just in case you are looking for gifts this early in the year, The Whimsical Whippet added a few good markdowns on their sale.
Are you ready to add a personal touch to your lipstick? Join LipLab for a fun lipstick-making workshop in Polokwane on 23 February 2025! Whether you’re bringing a friend or coming solo, this hands-on experience is the perfect way to unleash your inner cosmetic chemist.
