I loved this poster – just be who you are, you can be many things, to many people, but it is so important to retain your own identity! Have a great weekend and “be” all you can be, the best darn of version of yourself that you can be!

The tough reality about life is that no matter how we try to fight it, there will always be things that are out of our control, things that we struggle with and situations that will be painful – making us stretch and grow emotionally! My main struggle at this moment of my life is striking a balance, whether it is in my day-to-day role as a mom and a wife, the time I spend on my blog or finding the time to run and exercise.
I have slowly come to the realisation that if I do not have balance it affects my ability to do any of these things to the best of my ability. If I spend too much time and put too much effort into one area then other areas in my life tend to suffer. I have always been a rather disciplined person but this too has its flaws, if you are too disciplined it leaves little time in your life for fun, once again leaving you unbalanced.
So, where to from here? Well I am speaking for myself now but I have decided to adopt a slightly different attitude to my life, to try to not be so serious about everything I do. Live one day at a time, to try hard not to worry about tomorrow and not to compare myself with others {ahh very hard for me! 😉 } but this is the only way I can see how to restore the much-needed balance to my life.
I love the quote above it makes you realise you need to hang on to the important things in your life and let go of all the stuff you cannot control and only then will you find balance!

An Inspiring poster for a bit of motivation today! I am sure going to give it a try!
Have a great day!
Some times the thing we so easily forget in our journey to fit in and measure up to others is that we were born an original! Do not let society dictate otherwise – remember you are an original!

Even though winter is on our doorstep, it does not deter me from craving sushi. It is one of my favourite foods to eat and I love nothing better than an indulgent night out with sushi and bubbly or a chilled Sauvignon Blanc! With this in mind I thought I would share my Top Sushi Spots in Cape Town and a few recommended by you, my readers.
This is by far my favourite sushi spot and although it is situated inside the V&A shopping centre, the sushi is worth the hustle and bustle of the surroundings. Actually we always do a bit of shopping first and then relax and unwind with the aid of delicious sushi and great wine. To view or download their sushi menu click here.

Imagine my surprise when a reader recommended a sushi spot right on my doorstep! The Hotel has been around for a while but the sushi is a new addition to their menu. We decided to make this our Mother’s Day lunch venue and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. One of the great aspects of the sushi menu is they offer a 12/20 piece sushi platter, which you can design yourself, this is great if you prefer either a certain type of sushi roll or a particular type of fish.
