The month of February is a romantic month for us. It starts with Valentine’s Day and it ends with Wikus and my anniversary. We’ve been trying to have even just a stay-in date since the beginning of the month (with no luck thus far, as the kids are keeping...

My sister arranged for us (my mom, my sister and I) to get our makeup done for our brother's wedding over the past weekend. Obviously Catha had to go with... Life's all about makeup, painted nails, sweets and Paw Patrol at this stage... 

The friendly staff at @mudsouthafrica 's Bloemfontein branch at @preller_square_shopping_centre included her in every step of the experience. Thank you for making us all feel so pretty and for letting us feel so at home! 

I can most definitely recommend them to anyone who might need a little help with their makeup in Bloemfontein.

I love being a woman. We can be many things at th I love being a woman.

We can be many things at the same time. 

Feminine, but fighting fit. 
Silent, but strong. 
Wife, mom, friend. 
Listeners and leaders. 
Responsible, but fun.

Over the years I've come to realise that it's very difficult to love others if you don't love yourself. We women must learn to love ourselves, to love our fellow women. We must also teach our daughters to love themselves, so that they can grow up empowering others. We should build each other up. Support each other. 

Thank you to those women who went before us, who paved the way for us to be the women we are today. May we see the opportunities put before us, that we can pave the way for others.
