FeistyFemale

Bras, hot pants, pugs and cold chaotic days.

You get out of bed in the morning groggy from the night before. Not because you’re a yuppie Cape Town party-animal but because inspiration struck and you worked on an e-commerce solution for your business all night. You stomp through the house in pugs and hot-pants in search of a cup of coffee. In passing you [...]

How would you feel if your online profiles disappeared tommorrow?

“People spend all their energy and attention pumping content into closed networks where they don’t own the content.” A thought-provoking statement I could not have said better. Joe’s blog post made me think… I love this blog. Despite the fact that I often neglect it for weeks on end, it’s the centre of my online universe. I have [...]

The energy see-saw

Energy = “I control my destiny.” This involves weeks of energy, creativity, adrenaline, long hours, tons of meetings and loads of excitement. All an all you in control and you rock. The devil sits staring at you - highly amused. The next thing you know he fires a bullet of tiredness. Potshot! Like a professional killer he [...]

Homebody

After 10 days away I have to admit that there is something magical about being home. A glass of wine, a long bubble bath and Amy Whinehouse in the background really is enough to keep me happy.

18 till I die – ideally on a superbike

It’s a universal truth that being young at heart is good for you – being grown up is hugely overrated. Consider the traits of the average human being in their teenage years - curiosity, enthusiasm, passion, naivety and rebelliousness. In my mind, traits like that should never be outgrown. At 25 I now fully appreciate the [...]

Shopaholics - because it’s to die for doll!

A trip to the mall will make you question the fact that its tough economic times. Recession - what recession? At the rate people shop you’d swear our country was only filled with business mongols and lottery winners. Trolleys full of fatty, unhealthy food with yummy preservatives contributing to the nations obesity and health-related diseases. Useless, [...]

Death by peanut

feistyfemale — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:02:33 +0000

Sjoe. Made it (again). I think I still have about six lives left…. Just a quickie…. I am never eating peanuts (especially peanut butter) EVER again. Who knew that your body could instantly rebel directly after consumption. Medic Alert bracelets might be super lame but I will be wearing it. (In fear of death by peanut.) In addition the importance [...]

An Ode to Quitting Twitter

feistyfemale — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:08:01 +0000

I’m by no means addicted to my mobile, the internet or more specifically social media. I used to be. Thank the dear Lord for my crazy personality and a mind closely resembling Pandora’s Box. There’s an advantage to a short attention-span after all… I didn’t struggle switching it off and moving along swiftly. Still I found [...]

When you move as often as I do, Gumtree will become your friend. I’m always impressed with the diversity of this particular platform. I was tickled pink when my housemate, who works in the travel industry pointed me to this great advertisement: Location: Cape Town Cape Town City Bowl Date Listed: 16/03/2009 I am looking for an intelligent, [...]
