Wow, a lot has happened since I last posted here. In
short, I left my full-time job in advertising to pursue my dream of becoming a
photographer. Now, I have a website over at <a href="http://www.laurensetterberg.com/">www.laurensetterberg.com</a> I loved this little corner on the web...it connected me with people who have become friends for life and it opened some awesome doors for me but for now, I'll be posting on my new website. I’m still
not quite sure what to do with Gloss so I’ll let it tick over while I think on it x</div>

Jon and I were in Jozi last weekend which was kind of a big deal seeing as he NEVER does city holidays. My parents had kindly treated us to flights to visit his mama who hasn't been well. We had such a lovely time staying with her, cooking up feasts and listening to old 70s rock! On Saturday, I managed to twist Jon's arm into taking me to Braamfontien which seems to be the most Instagrammed neck of the woods right now! Jon absolutely HATED it. Lols. Crowds + Noise + well...the entire vibe is not his cuppa. I, on the other hand, LOVED IT! It felt very Londonish in that freezing wind, shuffling between colourful buildings, strung up with lights. We noshed a delish waffle and then hot-tailed it outa there in a bid to salvage our relationship! I would love to visit again to check out all the cute shops and coffee spots but next time I'll take a buddy x</div>

Mama Gloss and I are back from Cape Town! It had been seven years since we'd been on a girls holiday and it felt like the right time to go on an adventure again. We'd both been dying to visit Cape Town so off we went for four days of chilling, flat-whiting and shoppin'! Now, I love Durban to bits but man, Cape Town is off the chain. I am always floored by how scenic it is. And everyone was so friendly from the car guards to the er, concierge! My old hairdresser who is now a travel agent scored us an epic hotel deal and I kept saying, "Grief, this is how the Kardashians must live everyday!" I'd never had anyone cart around my suitcase before or bring me up tea at strange hours so it felt like a real treat. Oh ya, can we also talk about the fact that there is a GIANT mountain overlooking this city? Every time I go to Cape Town, all I can say is "the mountain, the mountain, there's a giant mountain here." Cape Townians get the best malls, the swishest beaches and a huge-a$$ mountain! Lucky sods! I tried to convince Tall One to come with me too at one point by luring him with a mountain to climb but the boy just wants his ridiculously tall and freezing Drakensberg peaks. Well, hope ya'll have a happy Thorsday! x</div>

Jon and I spent the weekend at Kerry and Andy's farm and it heaven! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went for walks, drank wine, made pizza and caught up by candlelight thanks to load-shedding! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks so much for having us Kez, we had the best time. x</div>

Hello, hello and happy Mama's Day to all the mamas out there including my mama bear. Hope you've all had a great day! Secondly, I've been told I can only write one sentence as Jon wants to watch the S3 Vikings finale! We've been in Vikings withdrawal. I have watched just about every behind-the-scenes docco and Comicon inty that I can find on Youtube. But in other news, it is autumn, there are leaves, I am loving it! This is one of the main reasons why we moved here so yeah, all is good in the hood. In 18 sleeps time, my mom and I head to Cape Town for a whirlwind four-day girls trip and I'm so excited, I can't stand it. Brace yourself - the picture posts are coming! x</div>

hey there Winterrrrr<div style="text-align: justify;">
Winter has arrived in our part of the world! Jon got us a heater to warm the cottage up because, its clearly gonna get frakking cold in here. We've also hauled out the heavy-duty duvet - all the more snugglier to watch Vikings with - the new obsession which has taken over my life! Tomorrow sees the launch of something beeeg I've been busy with so tonight, we celebrate with stiry fry and er, water because we forgot to get drinks. Fail. Hope you are well? Equally in love with Lagertha? x</div>

To sprog or not to sprog? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have decided to dog! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, for now at least...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If there are any new life forms coming into my {our?} life, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they will be in the form of a dog!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lemme explain...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I LOVED reading your responses to my previous post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even the replies from the elusive "anonymous!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were seriously eye-opening, and I'm so glad I asked you guys for advice. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since then, I have:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Watched loads of birth videos {hippies seem to have a penchant for uploading these}</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Read approximately three birth stories a night {<a href="http://blog.longreads.com/2014/11/06/a-birth-story/">this particular one</a> destroyed me with lols}</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Googled some freaky deaky birth pictures which I proceeded to send to <a href="http://www.girlwithabum.com/">Jenna</a> - horrifying her and ensuring I would not have to mentally carry those images alone.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Bought a baby mag with some bumper "All you need to know!" booklets {I am fairly sure our maid now thinks I am preggers}</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"> Downloaded a pregnancy app {and subsequently received a gabillion baby-related newsletters which I've had to unsubscribe from}</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Did this activate some sort of broody switch? Surprisingly...not. The baby pics didn't really do anything for me although I was strangely moved by a picture of a bear with a thermometer photoshopped into it's mouth. I did, however, found it all completely fascinating - especially those animated videos that show how a baby is formed. That sh*t BLEW MY MIND. I watched while yelling, "Jon, you've gotta watch this - Joooon, the baby has a TAAAAIL!!! A tail! Look at it's spine growing. LOOK AT IT'S SPINE." I could watch those all day long. How insane is it that you can make a human that is a part of you and a part of the person you love {ideally}. I mean, what the actual? That is insaaaaanely cool. </span></div>
<span style="text-align: left;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
I did have one tummy-flip, though. After working late one night, I found a note on my desk that said "I love you Lauren. Love Abi." Now Abi is my colleague's daughter and she loves pandas so basically, we're like best friends. When I got that note, my tummy <i>fa-lipped</i> - "AHHH, THIS IS IT!! This is what the moms are talking about! I get it now!" There I was, tossing papers about like a nutter and this tiny human had taken the time to write me a note. I was FINISHED.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh, I also ended up in a maternity ward after one of my bestie's went into labour {welcome to Earth, baby Dylan!} Ok, those maternity wards do...affect me. I can't help but imagine mysef, lying there in my panda jammies, regaling our families with tales of the sprog's arrival while Tall One checks in on the little nipper....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A few friends have told me in a totally well-meaning way that I am likely to over-analyse this decision {Me? Over-analyse something? HA!} so I took this rather sad but enlightening test...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I was engaged, I ended up seeing a therapist. My besties figured I was just having cold feet but I couldn't be sure so my therapist said, "If I could offer you the choice of staying in South Africa and getting married, or sending you on a solo adventure to London, which would you choose?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm ashamed to admit this but in my heart, I chose London but in reality, I got married. It's complicated of course but essentially, I didn't want to let anyone down and everything was perfect on paper. Regrettably, I did end up letting everyone down five years later and it was a million times more devastating than if I'd done it then.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So this may explain why I am terrified of making another long-term commitment without being completely sure. I'm rarely sure about major decisions. Eventually I just make them because I have to and hope for the best!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If offered the choice between a four-wheel pram or a ticket to London right now, I'd take the ticket. To holiday, that is! Not to live. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Peeps have also said, "Ah Lauren, you'll make this baby thing work" but right now, I know I would be spreading myself too thin. I can't even stick to a skin care routine, let alone a "must keep the baby alive" routine! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So who the heck knows! Part of me wants nothing more than to get down all my old bears, buy baby biker jackets and take the sprog leaf-crunching but the other part of me is like, "Woah Delilah, you just enjoy your Saturday sleep-ins for like, five more years."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tall One remains tight-lipped on the subject and I remain in neutral despite my research into cracked n*pples and cloth diapers. I do, however, desperately want a dog! I - LOVE - DOGS. We can't have any as well, we're not allowed pets at the cottage so I'm thinking...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 1:</b> Finish furnishing current cottage</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 2: </b>Convince Tall One that we need to move to a pet-friendly place that has a BATH and a shower later in the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 3:</b> Acquire two adorable puppies</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 4:</b> Have somehow stashed stacks of cash {unlikely with current petrol price, London holiday hopes and furniture purchases}</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Step 5:</b> Possibly re-visit thoughts of sprogs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't like to plan too much as life usually has a delightful plan of it's own just waiting to surprise you!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If anything drastic changes, I shall let you know - hopefully, this all works out!</div>

On our third day in the Midlands, we met <a href="http://www.midlandsmusings.com/">Kerri</a> for lunch at Crystal Barn. One - it's always a lol of a catch up with Kez - and two - Crytal Barn is amaaaaze. It's like a much bigger, guest house version of <a href="http://glossaryzine.blogspot.com/2014/10/my-birthday-tea.html">Antiques House </a>in Durban - and I LOVE me some Antiques House - I had my 32nd birthday tea there last year! As you can see from the pics, it's just jam packed with pretty things - and there are two adorable dogs which nuzzled at my feet while I ate! Speaking of eating, I was so excited to tuck in, I forgot to snap pics of our food but just like Antiques, everything is beautifully presented in mismatched plates. While we were there, the most epic hail storm broke out which resulted in mass excitement {and some hailstones in my handbag which I forgot to take inside!} We huddled under a little shed thing outside for as long as we could, drinking wine and catching up, but when we started getting pelted, we nestled in at the bar which was cozy central. I do love the Midlands but I've always felt it needed more of this - somewhere seriously whimsical and special. It's def worth a visit if you're in this part of the world! x</div>

Ola! How is your weekend going? Today we went for a drivski and came across gazillions of wild flowers! After taking some snaps, we popped into a nearby antique store and snagged an old-school serving platter and some teacups. Now, I'm huddled inside watching Vikings {a bit more tolerable than Game of Thrones!} while it storms outside. Think I hear the Tall One lighting a fire right now. It feels like we're in Switzerland but we're not that far from Durbs at all! x</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

If you follow me on <a href="https://instagram.com/glossarylauren/">da Gram, </a>then you'll know we're at Solitude for the Long Weekend! The last few weeks have been mayhem but the thought of waking up in this little cottage has kept me going. Usually, I want to pop into country stores and what not on the way up but this time, all I wanted to do was climb into bed with a pile of mags and that's just what I did! After catching up on Kate Middleton's recent adventures, I had a little napski. Tall One woke me up with a toasted hot cross bun and some strong coffee and after noshing down, we went for a walk around the farm. As we got back, it started pouring down and now, I'm gonna have my first bubble bath in months. Man, I LOVE holidays! What are you up to for Easter? </div>

Aloha! First things first - <i>thank you</i> so much to everyone who sent me a message of sorts regarding my previous post. I've been letting it all marinate and I'll be plugging in a post later this week to let ya'll know where my head is at now re this sprogging business! You gave me lots of excellent advice to think on, and I'm very grateful for it. {Although last night I had a <strike>nightmare</strike> dream that I was preggers and I had to have an epidural done about a hundred times...}In the meanwhile though, I just wanted to share a few pics of our hood which is showing off at the moment! Slowly but surely, the leaves are turning a crunchy, golden colour and yet there are still loads of lush, summer blooms in the mix. Oh, and yes, people in this area actually have horses in their backyard. But no, they don't walk down the road with clutch bags in the middle of the day. That was just me wanting to show off a recent sale snag! Also, Tall One looks like he wants to murder me in these pics but I assure you, he was full of the joys. "It's Blue Steel, people can't always look happy in pics." - his words.<br />

What's cracking, what's cracking!!? Tell me your news! Me? I'm knee deep in work but I've been feeling lighter and brighter thanks to the miracle of modern medicine but that's a story for another day....I wanted to check in and tell you what I've been up to otherwise, but honestly, not flippen much! Once we've kitted out the cottage {it's nearly donezos}, I'll have some spare dosh to do stuff again. Right now, it's a case of: buy new furniture on pay day - be broke the rest of the month! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I do have something to ramble about...and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one! I didn't have any fears about turning thirty but I'm developing twinges about turning thirty-three. Why? Well, I've never been sure about having kids but I always imagined, that if I did sprog up, it would be around the age of thirty-four which would mean I'd probably have to get cracking on that around the age of thirty-three.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will be thirty-three this year. Am I ready to attempt a baba? Uh, I don't think so! Or am I? I have no idea. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Edit: I realise I'm writing this as if I have the luxury of choice. I know there are many women who want nothing more than to have kiddos but can't. I've been fairly light-hearted below but I completely appreciate that this is an extremely sensitive topic for many people and I think it's horribly unfair that some women can't have children. I know a wonderful woman who would make the most brilliant mum but sadly, she can't have babas and my heart aches for her. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe I will be able to fall preggers one day - maybe I won't. I'm not sure yet as I've never attempted it. Oh and in case anyone is wondering, this isn't a topic that Tall One and I have discussed much at all because we've both always been on the fence about sprogging in general. That said, I'm totally giving him this blog post to proof read! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here's my question to all the mamas and papas out there - did you ever have a moment where you just knew you wanted to have kids, or did it become a gradual want? I feel so.... neutral about it all. Is this good? Is this bad? Is this just a case of not wanting something because I don't know what it's like to have it? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, I know I'm stating the obvious here but children are just so...permanent. Like, there are some days when I think, "Yeah, I could do with some baba cuddles right about now" and then I think, "Mother of mercy, I'd have to parent this thing FOREVER!! There is no way I'm giving up my takeaway coffee for Pampers!!" I know, I know. That sounds utterly snobby, naive and ridiculous.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of our friends are already moving onto baby number two and while their kids <i>are </i>adorable and amazing, they - like all children - need <i>constant </i>care and attention. I'm always blown away by how much they need in terms of snugs, food, cleaning, help, nappy changes etc I usually leave our mates thinking, "Dang those kids are cute but I am shattered from that visit and I didn't even do anything except play with a few Legos..." I truly have all the respect in the world for moms and dads - it seriously is a full-time job!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some people have said to me, "If you're in doubt, don't do it." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Others have said, "You will regret not having kids."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My besties have said, "Dude, your mom <i>has</i> to be a grandmother. Sprog up, stat."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I <i>do</i> worry about regretting it. I also worry that if I do have a kidlet, I'll end up perpetually broke, tired and resentful. I know that sounds awful but these are legit fears of mine...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So owing to the fact that I feel totally confused, I tend to shelve any thinking regarding this matter to the back of my head! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If I were to scribble a list of pros and cons, I guess these would be the shamefully honest cons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I don't like to lock myself into long-term commitments. A two-year cellphone deal is enough to freak me out. Kids are the ULTIMATE commitment. The concept of "forever" is too much for my brain to compute...</li>
<li>Kids are CRAY expensive. Like, what is going on with the price of Pritt Stick?</li>
<li>I often work long, intense hours and that'll always be the nature of advertising.</li>
<li>I usually come home feeling utterly knackered. </li>
<li>Therefore, my spare time is sacred to me. If I have more than one weekend plan, I start to panic. </li>
<li>I love being able to sleep in, watch South Park whenever and go on spontaneous weekend missions...</li>
<li>If a kid had to draw on our white telly unit, I think I would flippen freak out.</li>
<li>What if I landed up as a single parent? I fear I'd collapse from stress and sadness. {To all the single parents out there, you are AMAZING!}</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've recently read a lot of posts by mama bloggers who have shared the <i>challenges</i> of having kids, and while I'm grateful for their honesty, a lot of those posts have actually freaked me out and kinda put me off kidlets....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div>
Grief, I sound like I would be positively awful as a mum.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That said, if a doctor had to tell me today that I couldn't have children, I think I'd be heart broken.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tall One once said, "People go on to have more than one kid which means it can't be all bad." Lols.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So mamas and papas out there, do you have any advice for me? Having kids sounds tough and stressful but then people also say it's one of life's greatest gifts...am I over-thinking it all?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My mom usually says, "Don't make a decision until you feel at peace in your heart." But I've made almost every life decision feeling rather sick inside! Maybe I'm just a painful decision maker?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would seriously appreciate your thoughts on this...and please be as honest as you'd like. I realise I may have unintentionally ruffled a few feathers with this post, and I'm sorry if I have :( I am genuinely rather ignorant when it comes to kiddos but I'd love to better understand this aspect of life. x</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
PS: Tall One read this and said, "What the hell is a sprog?" LOLS. That was his reaction to this entire thing. I grew up reading British comedy books so I tend to use a lot of British slang! <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sprog">See sprog here.</a></div>

Whaddup, whaddup. Sorry for the radio silence. I've had a rather shaky start to the year in terms of my health. Been in and out of the doctor's office and just haven't been in the right head space to get my blog on. But I'm feeling a lot brighter and lately, I've been...<br />
<ol>
<li>Living in my summer uniform: aka the kimono!</li>
<li>Furnishing the cottage. Bit by bit, it's starting to feel more like a home. The cost of it destroys me but its been fun to piece it together. If you follow me on Pinterest, you'll know I've gone moggy with home stuff! Can I be a professional pinner, somehow? </li>
<li>Watching a lot of Lost! We've gotten to the point where the show spirals into a convoluted mess {dare, I say!} but it's been the best tearing through it with Tall One who doesn't usually watch telly shows. We're about to start Game of Thrones although I'm not sure it's gonna by my cuppa tea. </li>
<li>Realising that my life now is so tame compared to my twenties where I was always out till 4am, watching gigs, attending weird art shows and throwing back cheap shooters in smoky dive bars. I mean, the points above involved telly and decorating! </li>
<li>Reading tons and tons about photography and cooking up plans to upgrade my gear. Up until this point, I avoided learning the technical stuff as I was worried it would suck the joy out of my favourite hobby but man alive, I wish I had learnt it all years ago! It would have saved me so much frustration...</li>
<li>Loving our life and hood up the hill. It's crazy to think I just wailed when we got here. I'm so in love with it now, I can't imagine living anywhere else. That said, the long drive to work still does my head in.</li>
<li>Concerned about the effect of social media on today's kids. I'm worried that for many, their self worth is getting tangled up with likes and shares. I only got a smart phone in my twenties but I still catch myself comparing myself to others online which triggers all sorts of bad feels so I've been trying to distance myself from the world's new obsession with followers and likes etc</li>
<li>Looking forward to April when I'll be heading to <a href="http://glossaryzine.blogspot.com/2014/05/weekend-away-at-solitude.html?_sm_au_=isVnHn50WCQQsnB7">Solitude </a>with Tall One for an Easter break. The first thing I'm gonna do when I get there is have a bubble bath! I've tried to make peace with just being able to shower at our cottage but truth be told, I miss my bubble time summin' cray.</li>
<li>Having friends over for rugby and braais. Before living together, neither of us were able to entertain a small gang so we're really chuffed that we can have fun Friday nights at home. </li>
<li>Feeling grateful for my Tall One. The other day, I felt like I was falling behind in life and as we were heading out our driveway, Jon suddenly said, "Panda, we are rich in life. We live in a nice part of the world and we've got good friends." And that folks, is all you really need - a roof over your head and a few, good buddies.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
</ul>
<div>
Hope you have had a good weekend? x</div>

Whaddup whaddup! Jon and I decided to head for the hills last Friday for a bit of R 'n R. We spent most of it under a tree, stoking the fire, snugging the dogs and mapping wine! Jon's been going to this campsite since 1998 - sometimes twice a year - so he's rather familiar with the local er, dogs and shrubbery! We usually go there in the dead of winter so this was the first time I'd seen it so green. They've got piggies and a goat now too. How shady does that piglet look below?! PS: I know I have worn that hat a million times now. Lols. I need to get another hat stat. They're super handy for mental hair weekends. x</div>

Holla! I am scribbling this from the couch while watching Ocean's Eleven for the zillionth time and Jon is cooking us our very first potjie! It smells INSANE. We are determined to make Sundays as fun as possible because I can't bear Sunday night blues. This morning, I rustled up a French style brekkie as I've been dreaming about visiting Paris again. Afterwards, we shopped for the potjie, went on a coffee date and worked out what we still need to get for the cottage. We reckon we'll be sorted by November. Oi! Oh, we also rented some Lost episodes! I was beyond obsessed with the first few seasons of Lost and I desperately wanted to rewatch it but I never expected Jon to go on the Lost journey as he's not really into fictional shows - but he's on the Lost train too! We're halfway through Season One and it's been so much fun cranking through a series together. We went years without a telly and now look at us! Anyway, I must go make my lunch for work tomoz. I am determined to hop on the health train too. Can't become a croissant monster! PS: Those are some of the flowers in our garden below! I just love opening the curtains to 'em x</div>

Sooo, I was going through some old photographs and I came across these guys. If you're new to Gloss, this is how it used to look back in the day. Lots of ridiculously close-up shots! I really need to get a wider lens stat. Anyway...I felt really weird and sad going through these. I mean, I love the pics but a flood of memories came rushing back. I started Gloss after returning from London because I was excited to explore and share snaps of my home town but I also threw myself into it because I needed a distraction from the fact that my marriage was falling apart behind the scenes. Not the sort of thing one can easily blog about! So on the one hand, I was dashing around, making new friends (<a href="http://www.nadiavdmescht.co.za/">Nads </a>and I were inseparable at the time!) and starting a new job, but on the other hand, I was putting on weight and crying my eyes out in therapy every few weeks. Life sure looks different now. Anyway, no real reason for blogging this other than I stumbled across these, and thought, "Ah, cool but sad." Then I thought I should scrapbook them and then decided I am way too lazy for that and would just bung 'em up here! </div>

of airports, turnstiles and cozy coffee shops<div style="text-align: justify;">
So friends, I wanted to scribble a little about my dream for 2015 in the hopes that it'll come true! In my mid-twenties, I was fortunate to do a couple of jaunts through Europe. They weren't overly epic compared to what some folks get up to but completely epic to me at the time! Oh, while I'm on that - guess what happened? While I was in London, my hard-drive with all my overseas pictures CRASHED! I was beside myself but fortunately I had uploaded most of the pics to Facebook. Also, I didn't have a DSLR camera back then but it was during my travels, that I fell in love with photography. Anyway, I think it was about two years after returning to South Africa, that I began chatting to Tall One and I remember telling him, "I'd kiss the soot on the London underground, just to return again!" - don't know why I had to express that in such a grim way but anyway! Tall One could not remotely understand this as he is somewhat of an outdoors survivalist but I loved how much he loved our neck of the world. We started going on loads of adventures together and had a ton of fun exploring our countryside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The longing for London gently faded away...until now! Since paying off my car and moving in with Tall One, the thought of travel seems like a faint possibility again. Jon would rather spend a week in a cave than in a city (we're a little different like that but it's totes cool) so I'd love to take my mom on a holiday abroad. Of course, at thirty-two, I should be ramping up my investments and saving for a home deposit but the thought of stepping into an airport again, just gets my heart racing! It may seem like a reckless way to spend your hard-earned loot but I have never regretted a cent spent on travel. Just the packing alone is enough to send me over the edge with excitement! But...right now, it's just (<i>a hideously expensive</i>) dream so we'll see where the year takes us. I may decide to be sensible and abandon this idea completely but we'll see, we'll see. x</div>

Today, we woke up to sunny skies and decided a drive around the hood would be fun. We were winding our way through Botha's Hill when we stumbled across this abandoned hotel and of course, I had to have a picture! I mean, what blogger doesn't love a crumbling, derelict background? Oh, FYI: I do not wear high heels on random drives. I just *happened to have 'em in the car {*was secretly hoping to wear 'em with my new skirt for a bit.} After flinging my flats back on, we ventured into an animal farm but I was too ravenous to enjoy it and asked Jon if we could cut the adventure short in favour of grabbing some grub. Since wolfing down our wraps, we've been planted in front of the telly watching coverage of the Paris terror attack. The thought of these incidents becoming more frequent is beyond horrifying. My heart goes out to the people of Paris:( PS: I just noticed that the chicken's hut says "Pet Hotel" but it was in no way related to the abandoned hotel!<br />

Good day, good people! How have the holidays treated you? Well, I hope. I have been on my longest holiday - like - ever. Seventeen whole days outa the office! What have I done with those seventeen days? Uh, nothing! Long term readers will know that I've gone without telly for the past three years but my bro donated his old one to the cottage and my parentals treated us to two months of DSTV for Christmas so I have literally been binge watching telly almost every day! Extreme Cheap Skates! The Kardashians! Millions of movies! Crimes, thrillers and weird reality shows - I have watched it all and I am LOVING IT! People say it gets boring but right now, it's a total novelty. I think Jon is rather horrified at my capacity to watch so much cr@p but hey, ho, it's the holidays!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh, I've also completed some MAJOR spring cleans. I have a tendency to hang to the most random sh$t for years but this holiday, I donated every thing I have not touched for over a year from old gift bags to panda pajamas that no longer fit me. I allowed myself to keep two big plastic tubs of stuff but that's it. Now, I can easily reach the stuff I use most often. How organised! Heh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moving onto a fashiony note now....so, even though I write about fashion all day, every day for work, and have styled many of my friends before, I myself, always feel like a complete scruff. Towards the end of last year, I did a serious analysis of my wardrobe and noticed that it was a mish mash of mental prints and loud colours which I would love for a couple of wears but then HATE. I pulled out all the crazy, colourful stuff and noticed that the bits I wanted to keep were all neutral - quelle surprise! Black coat? Keep. Tuxedo jacket? Keep. Studded, vintage, flannel shirt with a million colours? Toss! Now the fash mags are always touting this {and my friends and I have been nattering about this a lot lately} but flip, it's so true - neutrals and a few great-fitting essentials are the way to go if you don't have a lot of loot to blow on clothes - and it's my new way forward! You can wear 'em more often without people noticing <i>in a good way</i> - and they tend to look, well, effortlessly more polished {insert all the fashion lingo!} The thing is, I've been colour obsessed my whole life and I do like things that are a bit bonkers and edgy which is where the bright lip and statement accessories come in! You can easily update a neutral look with a hot lip colour or say, a leopard clutch. So anway, even though I've known all this for yonks, I've never really applied any of it but I've started collecting more neutral bits and I'm planning on investing in a few more staples and already, I'm find the getting ready process WAY less stressful. Plus, black and white is the colour of PANDAS! Trust them to nail the most timeless look eva :P Hope you like my neutral look with a pop of colour below!<br />
<br />
PS: Will obviously lose the 9.5 kilos I gained last year, drink more water and attempt to be a better person in 2015. Have my heart set on a big dream this year which I am using as motivation to be a healthier human - more on that soon...<br />
<br />
PPS: Updated the blog with a cleaner layout in keeping with my new-found monochromatic mojo!<br />
<br />
Edit: Wish I had worn black court heels instead of wedges with this look - you live and learn! </div>

Holla holla! I hope you had a good Crimbo? I went for boho vibes {I recently discovered the Rachel Zoe Project on Youtube and am now obsessed with all things boho again} but instantly switched to awkward swim shorts and cozzie vibes as it was like, forty degrees in Durban! So I feel like I should be scribbling a sentimental summary of the past year but I'm literally just sitting here going, "It's the end of the year? Christmas has come and GONE?" I feel like I'm still trying to catch my breath. So I'm just going to sit here, drinking champers and watching a Kardashian marathon while I numb the noggin for a while! I hope you're having a relaxing chill out wherever you are. Much love. x</div>

We rounded off a wild year at work with Prom Night yesterday! I don't own anything vaguely promesque {I went to my high school dance in a last-minute-store-bought dress} so <a href="http://girlwithabum.com/">Jennakins</a> and I hired some full skirts and doused ourselves in glitter. There is literally glitter all over our homes, cars and desks and probably will be for the next six months. As for the hurrrr....I've always loved sixties hair do's so it was a great excuse to finally have my tresses teased to the heavens! Now, in other news, I am blogging this bad boy from our new COUCH! After living on a bed for three years, I can truthfully refer to Gloss as "s<i>cribbles from a sofa</i>" again....{see blog header above}. x</div>

Holler! So we've been living in our little cottage for just over a month already and I'm happy to report that I am no longer bursting into tears! In the past two weeks, I have befriended some store assistants {see this post!}, figured out what shops live where and I freak out every time we go for a walk because our hood is just so ridiculously picturesque. I would instagram every postbox and flower bed if my phone camera wasn't bust! It still cracks us up that we found such a cheap and cheerful rental in well, such a larny part of the world! That said - we have had a few, er, challenges. Our geyser burst on Saturday and after doing everything we could to mop up the mess, Jon suggested we take a drive to the Christmas Tree Farm. That's right, people. There is a farm here dedicated to Christmas Trees! Having been a city girl for the past ten years, this sorta stuff gets me seriously psyched. So we drove through the drizzle to visit the trees and picked out the handsome chap below who is now twinkling in our lounge. I cannot wait to get my nest on in the holidays! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In other news, I bought the necklace below from Checkers of all places {while spending a hideous amount of moolah on decorations}, and got a Shellac manicure which I was helluva skeptical about. Shellac is a hard-wearing nail polish which is meant to last two weeks and so far, it's survived me dealing with a drowned cottage and hours of typing. Let's see if we make to the end of week two. Now, have you been? x</div>

Jennakins came to visit me at the cottage this weekend! It was so nice to have a friend over and I realised I hadn't cried at all this past week which means this city girl must be starting to settle in. We both fancied a quiet morning so we decided to tuck ourselves away at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deborahs/269712686387409?fref=ts">Deborah's</a> in Kloof. It can get pretty chillos up the hill (read: I am wearing Eskimo boots in November) so it's nice to know there's a cozy spot nearby where you can sink into a comfy sofa. Thanks to my mom for telling me about this place - I actually ran into some other folks there who had been sent there by my mom! Take a squizz below and be sure to visit <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deborahs/269712686387409?fref=ts">Deborah's</a> if you also love tea and treasures. x</div>
