Happily Ever Active - Virgin Active Cinema Ad

Just a little more shameless self-promotion. Have a peek at our new Virgin Active cinema ad, which forms a part of the Happily Ever Active Project.

As always, let me know what you think.

It's a girl thing

There are certain things in life that guys just don't understand. Things they will never experience the utter joy of. Sorry guys, this ain't for you. Girls, let me know if you can think of any others.


1. An obvious one, whipping your bra off after a long day. In the morning a bra makes you feel like you have the perk of an 18 year old, by the afternoon it's a chastity belt from hell.

Pink Hair Shows You Care

I HAVE PINK HAIR YAY!

Well, not really.

But this very cool campaign by Great Lengths Hair Extensions and their participating hair salons means that I (and my friendies) paid R100 for one pink hair extensions. ALL profits go to the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA).

These 100% human hair extensions may not be a natural colour, but they move naturally and feel natural. Once you wash your hair with the extension, it moulds to your hair type! It can last up to three months unless removed earlier.

A Grand Affaire - Sunflower Fund Fundraiser (competition)

The Sunflower Fund was formed in 1999 to help The South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR) in their efforts to educate, find donors and save lives.

"Due to the 1:100 000 chance of finding a compatible donor, at least 100 000 donors are needed for a Registry to function effectively and in South Africa, the Registry should ideally have 400 000 donors representative of all ethnic groups."

This year they are having a fabulous fund raiser at The Grand and I have two tickets worth R1300 to give away!

For R650 you'll get welcome drinks, a "floating feast", entertainment from DJ Fresh, Rory Eliot and Ard Matthews. Plus there will be a silent auction and plenty lucky draws on the night.

Got my nails did.

I love me a little bit of pampering, but my purse really doesn’t. Spas and “commercial” beauticians charge a fortune I just don’t have. BUT THEN I HEARD ABOUT SHEREEEEEEEN! (Thank you @PrettyMintBlog) Can ya tell that I am excited?

Shereen is fabulous. She is lovely and sweet and professional – but because she works from home she doesn’t have the overheads that force her to charge an arm and a leg. She also honestly just doesn’t want to rip people off.

1 month later.

It's been a month since my dad passed away. And I still seem to be sane. Most of the time at least. It's 11:30pm and I am writing this in bed, counting down the minutes until the exact month. I probably shouldn't. But my brain seems to want me to.

A month. A month without a dad. To be honest, it's pretty shitty. One day I'm ok - at peace with what's happened. The next day (or hour, even) I'm so furious at the world - angry that we are born ultimately to suffer. Things are more the former than the latter, but those times are very, very dark.

In Grey's Anatomy (excuse the reference) George tells Christina that he can't imagine living in a world where his dad doesn't exist. Christina tells him that it never really goes away, then welcomes him to the "Dead Dads Club" - a place that you're never in, until you are in, and that she is sorry that he had to join.

My Darling Dad, I miss you.

Four weeks ago, I tried not to listen as a teenage girl rushed into the ICU and was told that her father had passed away.

I sat cross-legged on the floor of the waiting room, as her cries grew louder and louder. Just the night before I looked over at her as she chatted to her father, and felt a wave of jealousy as my dad lay in a coma.

If you've kept up to date with me on twitter, you'll know bits and pieces of what's gone on in my life over the last month. My dad, aged 70, had a stroke.

Procrastination Friday #3

1. Freaky Friday

These 12 Absolutely Terrifying 2 Sentence Horror Stories are quite something. Numbers 1,3,4,7,8 freak me out. Yoh.

Mandela Day - A Trip to Baphumalele

To celebrate Mandela Day and contribute our 67 minutes towards making the world a better place we spent the after noon at Baphumalele Children's Home in Khayelitsha.

This incredible home was started in the late 80s by Rosie Mashale. Along with a group of other women, she began looking after unsupervised children in Khayelitsha from her home. After just one week 36 children had joined.

Issue-Swap

Issues.

We all have them.

Some of them stem from nature, others from nurture (or the lack thereof). Some we stumble upon as little kids, others kick in as we get older. If you say that you have no issues, I say that I don’t believe you.

Now I don’t know if this little idea will work, but let’s see. It all stemmed from a tweet I wrote last night after giving away a prize on here. “I freaking love giving things away!” followed by “RT to stand a chance to win my issues”.

Competition: Tickets to The Insanity League

Whatever the genre, a night out to the theatre (cue visual of me in long gloves and a sparkly dress) is one of my very favourite things to do.

Computicket have been incredibly lovely and have offered me two tickets for myself and two tickets to give away to their new show, “The Rise of the Insanity League” conceptualised by and starring, Aaron McIlroy, Ben Voss and John van de Ruit (who wrote the Spud books)

But before I get to the competition details, here is a bit more about the show!
 

- The Rise of the Insanity League -

The show has been created as a sketch comedy show like no other, which bounces between both “sheer genius and rank stupidity”.
 

Aaron McIlroy and Ben Voss are joined by John van de Ruit, whose been off the theatre scene for 10 years. While I have found that sketch comedy (a show made up of a series of different scenes) can often be silly, this show promises to be “more than just a random selection of sketches - the team is preparing a comic study on insanity unlike anything ever seen on the stage in South Africa before”.

DOES THAT NOT SOUND MAJESTIC?!
