Photo-a-Day: Something beginning with 'F'

Fitness. 

It's not something I usually do for the pleasure of it. I don't love exercise. Sad but true. I wish I was addicted to running and jumping and swimming and getting active, but truthfully I'd rather bake cupcakes while sipping on a glass of wine. Not the best for my thighs!

So I exercise. Because I must if I continue my refusal to diet / cut out delicious food. 

But, as much a I hate to admit it, that feeling after a great workout is actually really wonderful. ( Although said feeling is not enough to make me want to exercise again the following day.) So to make it bearable, I drag my like minded friend along, and we try giggle our way through crunches and lunges. 

DropKick Media snapped this pic of us tonight stretching after our workout on the fields outside the Moses Mabhida Stadium. 

 

Photo-a-day: Paper

Some people have yoga, others have psychologists, but me, when the world starts to get crazy, I bake. 

Baking clears my mind and calms my soul, and pretty much just puts everything  in perspective. 

There are never a shortage of these little cupcake papers in my house, so that at any time I can whip up a batch of tasty treats. 

Photo-a-day: In my cup

Oops. Not a good start. I almost forgot to snap away for today's topic. I had planned to photograph my morning coffee but as it is now evening, I put down my wine, picked up my iPhone and snapped a quick pic of what is in my cup right now.  

Unfortunately I don't have access to my computer at the moment so I'm uploading this post off my phone so my apologies if this doesn't look like it normally does... Fingers crossed it loads as normal.

 

Photo-a-day: 'This is really good'

As I mentioned earlier today, I am going to try and keep up with this challenge and update with pics every day. Today's topic is 'This is Really Good', which is an easy one.. Champagne darlings!

A really good friend of mine (who also happens to be a total bar and liquor guru - check out his blog, Drink Movement, for some wonderful cocktails and bar knowledge) advised that a wise idea is to always keep a bottle of bubbly chilling in the fridge, and although I don't live up to this all the time (because you know, sometimes the champers gets consumed) I do love this concept and try to keep up with it...

This was a tasty glass of Billecart-Salmon, enjoyed sitting on our balcony at home, watching the afternoon slip into evening...

May Photo-a-Day Challenge

I saw this awesome idea on a blog I love, Happiness is… and thought it would be a fun way to share with my followers a little more about me and maybe to get to know me better (even though I am 3 days late for the start… oops). 

Why don’t you join in and also try take the challenge to photograph something every day. Read more about this fun challenge here.

*side note: If you follow my blog you'll know I'm not really any good at photography, so although my pics may not exactly be pin worthy, I do intend to try show an honest side of myself... Plus, maybe by snapping away daily my skills will improve, and that's always a great thing!
