Note: Thank you for your enthusiasm about my Pecan and Coconut Friands with Raspberries! However, I accidentally wrote 2 instead of 4 egg whites when the post went live (I’ve since corrected it). If you make the friands, do use 4 egg whites. Sometimes, when I find myself longing to breathe in beauty, I turn [...]

There comes a time in every young girl’s life when she arrives home after a stressful work week with a costume party to attend in three hours and absolutely no idea what to wear. The party: Jeniqua’s Farewell (I must stop crying. I must stop crying.) The theme/costume requirement: “Something you love.” My wardrobe: Devoid [...]

So, that last post was a bit of an awesome surprise for me. Whilst writing it, I was focusing solely on describing my scary Clinique counter experience and trying to remember the ingredient quantities of my green smoothie. The offhand comment I made about being of alabaster skin tone was precisely that: offhand, and yet [...]

Four years on. I [...]

This post was sponsored by Nuffnang When I was recently contacted and asked to write about the best travel experience of my life so far, I was perplexed. Stumped. Mindboggled. And a little bit baffled to boot. Asking me my best travel experience? That’s like asking a mother which of her children she likes the [...]

It’s probably about time for a chocolate review. However, I’m exhausted. In addition, I’ve written a great many long-and-text-heavy posts of late, so I thought I’d give you all some respite from my convoluted mind-patterns by providing something short and snappy (and, admittedly, rather discombobulated) for you to peruse. I call this post “Things I [...]

Before last night, I had never watched a single skerrick of Eurovision. Even when, years ago, a university lecturer instructed my class to watch it as a corollary to our “Europe in the Modern Era” course, I didn’t bother. I know, I know. I’m such a rebel. It’s a surprise I didn’t enter a downward [...]

How To Tell In One Night That You’re Exhausted After Your First Month Of Working Full-Time And Are Definitely Ready For The Five-Day Long Weekend: 1. Whilst driving to gospel rehearsal, which is in the same location you’ve been driving to weekly for the past few months, you make a wrong turn and end up [...]

The first of two dip platters. This dips on this one were, left to right, sundried tomato, carrot, tzatziki, and hummus. Have you ever had a conversation with someone that simply didn’t make sense? I have. It went something like this: Scene: My parents’ house. Time: Early afternoon. My mother enters the room where I [...]
