I may not have given birth to a human…yet… but I sure as heck know all about labour pains and birthing something new. The sacrifice required to see a push through, the toll on your body that you choose to put yourself through knowing that it’s going to all be worth it in the end. … Continue reading The”Instant Mum” -choosing to love what I did not birth
It’s been MONTHS since I posted a blog, and quite frankly I forgot all about blogging. Life became so busy, different and I found myself so caught up in it all that my creative world began to fizzle out. In the time I’ve been absent from here I have met the love of my life, … Continue reading Relationship trumps anxiety.
For a few weeks now, I have found myself scrutinising over my face. I know I’m doing it, I know it ridiculous, and yet…I can’t stop. This blog….may frustrate some people. It may also resonate with some people, but to be honest…..it really is just an honest expression of my own humanity, despite how idiotic … Continue reading Wrinkles, lines and growing older. Dang it.
I was pretty confident at school. Well liked, I think, fairly popular and self assured. Riddled with insecurities like any other teenage girl, but still considered myself pretty self assured. It was an interesting transition from that extroverted, popular girl at school to the introverted, fear driven girl I grew to become while I was … Continue reading My university hell…
That’s not the only thing I do repeatedly. Some might say I’m a bit OCD. I shower and moisturise every morning and night (please moisturise peeps!), scrub the soles of my feet with a pumice stone every time I shower, I’ve been using a 3 step skin care routine on my face since I was … Continue reading Why I shave every time I shower…
It is a normal thing to find myself in my room, in my car or in the shower crying my eyes out or throwing a huge, private dummy spit every now and then. Why? Not usually because someone has peeved me off, or disrespected me or humiliated me or anything like that. More often than … Continue reading When a leader has a dummy spit…
So maybe you have read my blog on being the “fat twin”. And you may have read my other blog on “the single life”. You probably didn’t realise that these two areas of my life use to overlap. I used to think that my singleness was due to my physical appearance. After all, isn’t that … Continue reading Big calves.
I’m one of those girls who remembers what I wore, this time last year, at that function, held at that venue , with those people that I’ll see tomorrow night… so I better not wear that same outfit in case they remember what I wore last year, at that function, held at that venue. I’m … Continue reading Wearing Big Girl Pants in 2017
Yup…..as the title suggests….this was my identity for a very long time. I was an average sized baby, an average size little girl. My twin sister and I were very similar, when all of a sudden I became broader, taller, bigger- boned and heavier. (Thanks Dutch genes). This difference in body shape began around the … Continue reading Vita – the “Fat” twin.
I remember when I was about 12 years old. My mother took my sister and I to one of our first musical productions, “Joseph and his Amazing technicolour dreamcoat”. This production featured Tina Arena as the narrator and the dreamy David Dixon, frontman of the band Indecent Obsession, as Joseph. Now I say dreamy… coz … Continue reading Crush or love?
