It’s not every December you get to wear a Xmas jumper in Cape Town. So cheers to that🥂😄

Our tree is usually up by the 1st of December but this year we are a bit delayed. There’s just still so much going on BUT this weekend we’re making up for it! I am busy putting a festive sparkle on my shelving while Kurt & the kids are making a Gingerbread house (we got the cutest little kit from @disneyafrica )& the tree will go up tonight 🎄🎅

Hope you’re having a good weekend! Is your tree up yet?

GIRLS NIGHT IN 💗

Alyssa has been having fun with the Go Glam U-Nique Nail salon and Shimmer Me Body set this week and I was “invited to have my nails done in her salon this evening!

The Go Glam U-Nique Nail salon has 5 design pods, nail polish, a dryer, storage and removable stamper! Easily scroll and stamp designs on up to 250 nails of any size for personalized mani-pedis! It’s really cute and easy to use and the stamp designs are so much fun!

Alyssa was extremely excited to open the Shimmer Me set earlier in the week as she and Aidan are so into tattoos at the moment 😅 This all-in-one kit has everything you need to style and customize your own temporary roll-on body art – 4 foils, 2 colors of glitter, glitter brush, gems, roller and 180 designs! So so cool.

Alyssa is going to do a little tutorial video of how to use them both , so #staytuned

Go Glam U-Nique Salon & Shimmer Me Body set can be purchased from @hamleys_south_africa , @toykingdomsouthafrica @toyzone_zoink , @toysrus_za and online from @takealotcom & @thekidzonesa ✨

Here’s a little Monday motivation for you 💪✨

A couple of weeks ago Aidan randomly touched my arm and said “wow, Mom look at your muscle!” and I just felt so good! I didn’t even really notice it before he told me.

I’ve been working out consistently since the beginning of lockdown and it’s what’s kept me sane throughout. With every single workout I’m just so presently grateful for my healthy body and mind. The mini muscle definition is an added bonus and the fact that my little guy noticed and is always keen to join me to workout makes me so happy 🙂

For a very long time, I’ve been super conscious about my arms. Even when I was at my skinniest! I would rarely wear anything sleeveless. But I’m over that now and it’s not because of the mini muscles lol my mindset has just changed so much.

Moral of the story - take the timeout to do something for yourself and what makes you happy. The benefits are endless ✨
