Love-Your-Life Trick # 3
#3.Find your Feel-Good tune & listen to it often
I love music so I have many "feel-good" songs, and whenever I feel that I have no energy to exercise or I don't have motivation/ inspiration to complete a project, I listen to one of MY songs.
One of my favourites is the "Sunscreen" song (click to listen) by Baz Luhrmann.
It has some really great advice and puts things into perspective for me. My favourite line is: "Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own."

Love-Your-Life Trick #2

Buy yourself a bouquet
A bunch of flowers in your bedroom, kitchen, living room or on your dining room table will bring colourful relief to the gloomiest of days.
Buy a bunch every week to brighten your home.
They will bring inspiration whilst eating your breakfast.

Love-Your-Life Trick # 1
For a self-labelled "blogger" I really am battling to find time (inspiration) to write something (anything) worth reading.
But wait, I'm doing this (research, writing and posting), for ME?!!
It's a new year, I've sold off my business and I'm spending quality time at home, with my 3 gorgeous children, buying furniture, reading books and magazines, having my hair done, inviting friends over for dinner, making and trying new things and just living.
Happily living my life.
Which brought me to this post: about finding happiness.
Finding happiness doesn't necessarily mean major life changes such as quitting/ changing your job, meeting/ marrying Mr Right or reaching your goal weight. No, it simply means finding out which small things (little personal rituals) gives you the most joy, and then implementing them into your life on a regular basis.
That's it. Easy! Over the next few weeks I'll do posts on some of my own favourite rituals.

Keeping a file of favourites
Anything from inspirational quotes, nice decor, fashion/ beauty tips and images, letters/ cards from friends, some photos : it reminds me of what really matters to me and motivates me to be the best I can be.
And I just have to add, although we live in a digital age where we all have Pinterest to do this, there is something magical and tangible about opening up that "me"-file...

Merry Christmas homeslices!
A very merry and happy Christmas 2013 to all my amazing friends and family all over South Africa. Over the last few years I've been so lucky to have gotten to know and build relationships with the most awesome people and I wish you all the love and prosperity in the world; you do deserve it! May your day today and all other days, truly be, merry and bright, remembering that Christmas is about family and love and togetherness. The prezzies are just a bonus ;)

Look of the day
Jamie Chung looked amazing at the JC Penny Jingle Mingle. Her statement neck piece and dark green pointy heels offer the perfect chic finish to an already glamorous outfit ;)

Colour of the Year 2014
Seeing out one of my favourite colours, Emerald, as the Pantone Colour of the Year 2013 and seeing in the new gorgeous colour for 2014: Radiant Orchid.
This pinkish-purple is going to make its appearance in everything from garments to nail polish to scatter cushions in my wardrobe & home this year. Absolutely love it!

Restructuring Myself
So lately I've been restructuring EVERYTHING.
Things in my home. Things at work and now also here, on my new (old) blog.
It seems I have a need/ want for order.
And it's not half bad. In fact, putting all things in order is also helping me put all things into perspective, mentally.
And it's a great time for refocussing - seeing out 2013 (a really big BIG year) and seeing in 2014...

(which will hopefully be even bigger, better and more successful!)
