Hello there I’ve decided to start doing The Edit over here on the blog to share things I’m loving with you. I haven’t quite decided how often I’ll write them yet, but we’ll see. First, let me fill you in on what’s up over at Miss Artsy-Crafty HQ. So, you may have noticed my absence […]
A Note on Self-Doubt
I recently did some content creation for a local small business and was thrilled about being asked because it was the first time I created content from scratch.Nonetheless, after emailing off the first batch of samples, a terrible bout of self-doubt set in. At first, I was happy but when I looked at them later […]
DIY Minimal Wall-hanging
Hello I have been wanting a more simple wall hanging in my room for a little while now. Previously, a dream catcher was hanging there but it started to bother me and made the wall feel a little too busy for my liking. I wanted something simple, beautiful and functional. I did some searching on […]
Body-positive
Our media-driven societies leave us constantly comparing ourselves to the flawless images staring back at us from within the glowing screen. We find ourselves constantly trying to compete with these posed, perfect-looking lives. We’ve become drawn into capturing every good moment of our lives in a hopeless attempt to portray them in a more perfect […]
Offline
I’ve always admired people who have the will power to have “offline days”. As bad as it sounds, it can be extremely difficult to disconnect ourselves from the hustle and bustle that is constant online. We don’t want to miss out on a thing. Social media gives us a rush that is described by some […]

I felt half-focused on both and didn’t really know what I was reading or listening to. In today’s crazy, race-like life, it can be difficult for us to focus on one task […]
Wear Local / Amanda Laird Cherry

The abundance of these products in the last little while makes me even prouder to be a South African. Luckily for me, and every other local lover, there are […]
Point Taken: Bullet Journal
Hello 2017 is fast approaching and so naturally I’ve been trolling Pinterest looking for some planner inspiration. And then I came across the bullet journal. Now, I’ve heard the term before, but I never knew what it was. After reading one cheat sheet, I was so confused! What on earth is a future log?! And […]
Slow: What’s The Rush?
In today’s busy, crazy, chaotic life, it can be difficult to remember to breathe, reflect and take some time to slow down. When delving into minimalism, I came across its close cousin: slow living. What is it? Well, in my understanding, it’s about taking more time to do the things you really love and do […]
