tips for healthy hair growth

Good God. On Wednesday the 13th May I had my first meeting with a florist. Flowers ... how expensive can they be, right? Well, it turns out... VERY . Very as in over 3 x the cost of the actual venue we had in mind!!!! For a bunch of plants that are just going to wilt and die after a couple of hours anyway! What the HELL?! Thank God I've planned to get hitched in a forest - hopefully nature can just sort itself out and be pretty. * Here's my top tip this entry: Figure out if your desired flowers and plants are in season during the month you plan to get married. I jumped at the chance to set a date, making it for late February next year... but now my dream of an enchanted forest theme covered in moss is pretty unrealistic because in South Africa, February is one of our driest months.  Moss likes moisture... so my little dreamy vision may always be just that... a dreamy vision.  Talk about crushing your dreams. * I've started looking at little wedding favors and gifts for my m...

What you will need to create this delicious healthy juice: A Juicer... (no brainer) 3/4 Swiss Chard Leaves 2 Celery Sticks 2 Carrots 2 Thumb Sized Pieces of Ginger (skin and all) 1 Beetroot (peeled and halved) 1 Quarter of Cucumber 1 Garlic Clove (peeled but whole) 1 Digustingly Handsome Boyfriend To Chuck Your Ingredients Into That Scary Looking Juicer That Let's Face It.. Could Munch Your Fingers Off! --------> Half a Lemon (no skin) Slowly start shoving these fresh ingredients into your juicer and watch the magic happen within seconds! I love juicing all my greens first and then adding in the beetroot and watching it change to a plum color. I'm strange.. I know.  DIVINE I tell you. Juicing it up in the mornings is such a healthy way to start your day. You'll be exploding with energy and vitamins - not to mention they are super tasty! By juicing, you are able to get all of the nutrients from the veggies that are often lost in our alternate ways of cooking / eating them...

Why oh WHY are sequels to movies always so awful??? I cannot actually recall one film that busted out a follow up that was better than the first. On Sunday last week, in my tragically hungover state (my dog died, so I got absolutely trollied at a 60th Hawaiian themed birthday party on Saturday night,) I finally dragged my ass out of bed and headed to the video store.  I was so excited when I saw that this film was still available because I adored the first one. I liked it because it was just a little bit of everything all rolled into one. Action, comedy, drama and even a sugar-coated slice of romance.  The film is based on the 1987 TV series called 21 Jump Street and follows two (really shitty)  police officers oozing with ''Bro-mance'' who are assigned a case where they have to go undercover in high school. Their mission is to find the supplier of a new drug that's been released and arrest him. It's the typical duo of an overweight nerd who hated high school t...

Becca over at: Being Becca   recently sent me a lovely little message requesting that I write a post about the journey of writing a book.  When it comes to writing a book, the journey will be unique for everyone. The basic gist of it is this though: The most daunting part of writing your own book is the first word.  The first sentence.  How do you start it?  It really isn't as natural as it may seem.  Once Upon A Time isn't going to work.  A book needs to be gripping from the get go.  You need to hook the reader and reel them in right away or they'll swim off downstream, far away from you.  Once you've established the basic plot and story-line and hammered out that grueling first line - your fingertips will start to leak words onto the keyboard. At least that's how it was for me, The problem is, your fingers will start leaking like freaking lactating breasts in the middle of the night. You'll wake up at all hours - FILLED to the brim with...
