Project 365 – Cocktails & Memories

21 Things about Me # 4 / Twenty Wishes for 2014

Posted on April 14, 2014 by Chantelle

I am a bit behind, so excuse me while I play catch up:

List FOUR goals you plan to accomplish in the future
I am actually not much of a planner – never have been. This list really is difficult & I cannot come up with 4 goals.
Most of my goals such as – own a home, see One Direction live, take mom overseas for the first time – have been/are being realised.

So with that I will give you 1 goal:

Take my dad for an overseas holiday – probably to see the Rugby Sevens tournament somewhere awesome like Hong Kong.
The bonding time with my mom in the UK is going to be amazing. I need the same with my dad. With all his health scares, I want to be able to do this with him before it is too late. Dad and I used to go on road trips to Cape Town and discuss all sorts of things on the 11 hour drive. We have not done this for a very long time.

The rest are all wishes & seeing as I have not yet posted my Twenty Wishes for 2014 ( I compiled it in January, but never blogged it) – here they are:

Buy a really pretty dress – Similar to a LBD – in case I ever need an outfit
Try Pilates
Host more dinner parties/luncheons
Learn to cook more recipes
Eat More fruit
Go to a movie by myself
Kiss a stranger
Take more photos & complete my Project 365 challenge
Fix my dry feet
Do another spontaneous thing (2013: Bought 1D tickets)
Have High Tea in London
Fall in Love
Buy a nice fitting blazer
Read a great book
Watch a classic movie
Drink more water
Get my weight below 70kg
Tone my stomach
Work less
Be a happier person

Project 365: Week 12

Posted on February 28, 2014 by Chantelle

On a hot Sunday afternoon there is nothing left to do except nap
We discovered an awesome slide projector in my grandfather’s belongings. I feel so sad to let it go, but it needs a good home, not to be lying in a box
Pretty ribbon ‘chandeliers’ at the mall.
Rainy day driving
Valentine’s gift from Li. Delicious chocolate!
Noah turned 3 – what a big boy he is becoming.
The moon was hanging around – barely there – watching us begin our day.

Project 365: Week 11

I have been very bad at updating my blog (and it isn’t technically real posts) and can you believe that we are already 2 months into the year already!?

I am happy to say that I have still been taking my photos fro Project 365. I am just not being as creative as I would like…

I made my 2nd chocolate truffle tart for Valentines Day (Single girls dinner) The Oreos are a bugger to crush if you have no food processor. Hammer works really well!
My Ford Ka is a round little bubble. All the dashboard design elements are too.
Painted my nails red for Valentine’s day – I added sparkle afterwards which looked really nice. Who knows why I didn’t take that photo!
Took a friend for a birthday pedicure and got to spend some time on that awesome day bed before the treatment
On Valentine’s day a colleague gave me a cute fortune cookie and notebook.
Changed my nails again and decided to play with overlapping colours.
I have never had gold nail polish, decided to try it. The result… eh…

Project 365: Week 10

Popcorn for movie night – with lots of Butter!
This is something I have always loved doing – photos of feet and faces!
A small building and trees reflected in a tall mirrored building. Johannesburg has some great photo opportunities
This angle was funny, it looked like the cushion was growing a head!
Fluffy tail – and he wonders why I can’t resist!
A selfie while relaxing under a tree on picnic
The view from my dining room table as I sat and worked.

Project 354: Week 9

Posted on February 4, 2014February 4, 2014 by Chantelle

Now that I am not blogging, I find so many other things to keep me busy that for days I don’t even go onto the internet. (Work doesn’t count as that is… well, work)

I had a shocking day at work and I could feel that the stress was affecting me. I suffer from low blood pressure – but my reading was high because of work that day. Worst day of 2014 so far.
The relieve some stress the following day; a colleague and I went to a little deli for lunch, such a pretty view. (There was a cat in that frame, he ran away as I snapped the pic)
The sun was setting on my way home and it was hitting the cloud at just the right angle.
Besides my bloodshot eye – I had fun with this photo – you can see me, reflected in my eye.
Squeaky is 10 years old and he may not be a fighter, but his big paws will protect him if he needs it.
Jozi has areas where the walls are painted black and talented graffiti artists express themselves.
When I saw this tree, I just knew it would look great in a grainy B&W.
