My ♥ stopped when I saw these food pics.
















I've had a crazy couple of days, which turned into a crazy couple of weeks, which turned into...you get the picture. Do you ever feel like you're saying 'yes' to everyone else and 'no' to yourself? (very Oprah). Well I think that's been me for a while. And it only became clear to me when I looked at these images of healthy foods. And now I can't stop thinking about healthy food and how I need to start taking better care of myself. When you work in advertising and your life becomes a series of meetings, you need to make sure that you take the time to eat the right food, exercise and get enough sleep. So difficult to achieve! I'm going to make it my mission to eat more like this. To go to more markets, to avoid anything microwaved from Woolies for a while (it's become a co-dependant relationship). Because you get stuck in a rut, by 'you' I mean all women trying to do all things, all at once. You think, oh I'll just have chicken tonight, again. They say you are what you eat, but I say, you eat what you are feeling. Because when I'm exercising and more balanced, the happier me eats healthy, enjoys eating healthy. When I'm stressed, I grab a Coke and feel more stressed. This is the cycle isn't it? And then I remember, every day is another day to turn it all around. And what better day is there than today?

My ♥ stopped at Tashas.

We made our way to Tashas last weekend. And I'm so glad we did. This little restaurant really does have a unique recipe for making people feel spoilt. The vibe was almost tangible, happy faces sprinkled throughout the cosy space, leaving you with that warm feeling in your tummy. And that full feeling in your tummy. Speaking of which, the food was superb!(see above).


Aside from the inspiring lunch menu, Tashas has the finest spread of all the sweet delights you could lust after, gingerbread men, macaroons and fudge being my personal faves. I judge a place by the way my tea arrives, and Tashas gets 10/10 for their black DIY teapots. The staff were excellent, you know, not-too-pushy, not-too-invisible. We stayed far longer than we should have, indulging in everything Tashas has to offer, and we'll definitely be back. 


Visit Tashas in Constantia, or here for now.

My ♥ stopped at Voila!

I needed to get a birthday present for a special someone this morning, and felt like breakfast somewhere different, so we meandered to Cape Quarter. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never been to Voila! - the most superb place to sit and soak up the buzz, filled with trendy Capetonians and confectionery delights.

SO MANY DIFFERENT TEAS TO CHOOSE FROM!
I'LL NEVER FIT INTO MY WEDDING DRESS AT THIS RATE

It's amazingly uplifting to be surrounded by creativity. So many people putting their hearts into businesses like this. I'm jealous, and inspired.
