tips for healthy hair growth

The last month has been an absolute whirlwind.  Right now I am supposed to be a wife. A barefooted housewife pottering around the kitchen preparing dinner for my hubby in a humble log cabin nestled in a tiny town in South Africa. When I envision this, I am already one month pregnant. Probably a son.  I'd have called him Maverick (no, not after the strip club which said hubby would more than likely frequent... after a wave. A very big wave to surf in California. There's the surfer girl coming out in me!) Instead, I am more free than I have ever been. "Don't ask her why she needs to be so free... she will tell you it is the only way to be." I have paid off all of my debt, snipped up my account cards, resigned from my job of three years, given notice at my gorgeous flat where I can lie in bed and listen to the ocean roaring at night. I opened up my life savings and instead of doing what I normally do (buying flights to some exotic paradise like Siargao in the Philipp...

Last night I made such an incredible, tasty, quick and easy dinner (my usual meal for one saga.....)

Drizzle some olive oil over your asparagus spears once they are in the tin foil.  Mince up a clove of garlic and sprinkle it over the asparagus, seasoning with salt and pepper. Slice the sides off of some black olives - removing the pips- and scatter them on...

There comes a time in everyones life where everything falls apart.  It's how you deal with it that defines you.  When my world was turned upside down I became an absolute train-wreck. I handled everything so wrong. It's funny how it takes a couple of months to realise what we should have been doing all along, rather than wallowing in self-pity and drowning in gin and tonics. My fiance had disappeared. My wedding was booked and paid for. My wedding dress was dangling in my cupboard, the diamante's sparkle hidden beneath its bag. I had framed photographs that seemed to pop up left, right and centre. Cards and letters, memories of my life and the life I should have had that floated around my life in a bubble of confusion and regret. For months I wondered what I had done so wrong. How could this have happened? I blamed myself completely for not being good enough; for not being able to make him happy. I went through a colossal amount of self-doubt and I let it take over for so m...
