MANIFESTING MY DESTINY
It kinda feels surreal sitting down to write this post. I cannot take the smile off my face and I keep fighting off the urge to pinch myself. Afterall, I don’t want to wake up from this dream.
My earth angel that appeared when I needed her most. I hope Rassalyn Willis inspires you and makes you realize that kindness, even from a total stranger, can shift another person’s reality.
Shiva is the seven day mourning period followed by the loss of an immediate family member. Judaism forces you to confront your loss head on. But nothing prepared me for the love shown by the Jewish community in South Africa.
2015 COOKBOOK GIFT GUIDE
It’s the holidays and I know everyone is always looking for gift suggestions. For me, nothing tops a recipe book. I have made list of some of my favorites.
CARROL BOYES
Carrol Boyes is a top South African designer who uses her talent and flair to create distinctive and unique items. By refusing to mass produce outside of Africa, Carrol has created opportunities in post apartheid South Africa.
HEINRICH KNOETZE
I was born and raised in South Africa, but I live in California. Whenever I get homesick I turn to my favorite photographer Heinrich Knoetze. His amazing images transport me back to my birthplace.
Carrol Boyes range of functional art is magical merging of everyday household items and art. Whimsical, radical, comical, mystical, magical… they are anything but typical. These stylish, funky talking pieces transform the mundane into the extraordinary.
These are the 10 things in my kitchen I couldn’t live without. I use them almost every time I cook, so I thought I would share them with you.
MY FAVORITE COOKBOOK
I have a huge collection and love flipping through the photos and recipes of so many talented chefs. Each one puts their own spin on very similar dishes. But one book stands out above all the others. It is the one my mom gave me on her last trip to the States.
FEED SOUTH AFRICA
One of my favorite charities in the world is FEED SA. It was started by my very good friends Jo-anne Tooch and Candice Etberg . They are feeding hearts, minds and tummies.
