Soul mates

 

It's way to long since I blogged due to trying to find my purpose for life and working on my career dreams and working on my relationship and it not easy when you don't have a phone to take pictures so I guess that another reason why I was MIA.

 My partner and I will be celebrating our first year anniversary but yet it feels like we have being together for more than a decade. It's funny how to people can connect on another level, Yes we might have our arguments now and then which end up in to a huge jokes but I guess we rather have jokes then heart breaks and time out sessions. I wouldn't trade my partner for anyone else cause she all I have and all I need in my life.

I don't think anyone has ever stood by my side through all the bullshit I've experienced this past year and I appreciate her for everything she has done for me, for all the times I cried she was my shoulder, when I needed a friend she was there for me, when I was sick she healed me and when I started loosing hope in myself she gave me courage and told me everything will be fine.

She is soul mate and I am so glad that I finally found my person, my soul mate, my best friend and my lover.

What your sense of style

Style Style Style

We all got our own sense of style, Majority of us copy the latest celeb style but I mean what's the point in trying look like some one else!

What is a father

Around the world in every corner everyone has a father in their life and if you a girl (you definitely a daddy's girl!.)

You can be married or have kids you will still be your father's little girl.
A father is someone who teaches you how to ride a bike, teaches you how to swim and will always be your voice of thought when needed.

A father will never close his doors on you no matter the situation, he will be your shoulder to cry on your pillow when you sick cause it's his duty to make his little girl happy.

A father is not always your biological father. He could be your grandfather a uncle but the best father in this whole entire world is the man above!

My father figure will always be my grandfather

Being a model

When we watch fashion television or music video's and think that it is easy being a model and that majority of us as teenagers think we can be models cause it seems so easy.
Well ladies it is definitely not!

Speaking from experience, I've being in the modelling industry for about 5 years and every Video or show I've done was hard work. Especially when it comes to music videos it just get more difficult, cause you have to drive to the location of the next set and making sure you dress and ready under 5 minutes. The making of a music video can take up to 12 hours or 2 days depending on how many sets there are.

I've seen the good and the bad of being behind the scenes, From cat fights to thefts (yes it gets nasty) and all other types of behaviour which bring out the ugly in many models.

Modelling is about having fun and enjoying the experience even thou it's a difficult profession.

My 2 year Anniversary

It will be exactly 2 years in Johannesburg for me. It's being a difficult 2 years but I am a strong will person who doesn't give up.

I am proud of the person I've become but I am not where I want to be. I still got a lot of things to mark off my bucket list, which I will accomplish by the end of this year.

Through my journey for success and independence I've lost  many good friends and loved ones but all my struggles didn't have me running back home it just made me more wise.

So for 2015 it all about accomplishing dreams and making good memories with the people who stuck by my side.

Crunchy 2 veggie salad with feta

It's the weekend and most of us will either eat out or make sandwiches (easy way out) or we will call the pizza guy just so we don't have to enter the kitchen.

Then there are people like me who will rather be creative and make something easy. So since yesterday was Friday and I felt like a easy salad, when I say easy I mean chop chop in a bowl and serve.

My main ingredients is Tomato's and Cucumber (That's it!) I just cut up half a cucumber in thin slices and 1 tomato in big chunks add it in a bowl and just put a little olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice and salt and pepper for seasoning. Then last was my feta, Oh yes and I also put some sweet basil that was dry.

It like my very own restaurant salad

New blog title. In honour of Hercules

I decided to change the name of my blog title cause I felt like why must I hold myself down to one topic when I can rather just blog about whatever I feel like.

I still love food and I will carry on sharing my idea's on food with everyone.
 Why I changed my blog title was due to the death of our puppy which we lost on Monday evening. We not sure what was the cause of his death but we surly tried our best to save him.

I was never a dog lover, I'm more for cats but after the experience I had watching our dog Mila give birth to 3 beautiful little boys, I guess the birth just made me all soft inside and to see how beautiful and cuddly they look. So my partner and I gave the puppies names with meanings. Hercules was first and he is the son of Zeus (Really Zeus was the father name). Then came Milo and the last born Leo. They were born in the month of august and 6 days after my partner birthday and her star sign is Leo, so obviously we had to name one of them Leo.

We are blessed to watching them grow up and see what kind of  personality they have was amazing cause their names definitely matched them. 4 amazing months so far and it was sad to see Hercules leave us, he had a fighting spirit and always kept his younger brother in line when they misbehave.

What breaks our heart since his passing is that his best friend Leo sitting on top of his grave since we buried him. Knowing that every morning we wake up we wont see his cute droopy eyes by the gate any more .

Sunday morning french toast

When it Sunday we all like a yummy breakfast to fill us till lunch is ready. This morning I decided to surprise my partner with yummy french toast, which is a family recipe that I learnt from my grandmother who use to make it for me every Sunday morning without fail, well until she told me it was time to make my own.

French goes way back and the recipe was passed on to many of our grand mothers and so on.
Some people like their French toast Sweet, Some others people prefer it spicy (like me).

So for my prep, I had cracked 5 eggs in a bowl, then added half a glass of milk and my spices which include 2 teaspoons of chillie powder, 1 teaspoon of graham, half a teaspoon of jeera powder and salt and pepper  (Yes yes it's the Indian in me, i love my spices) oh and a teaspoon of baking powder.
After that was done I got my pan heated with some oil in it when it was hot enough I dipped my bread in the egg batter and put it in the pan to fry, the bread must fry until it is golden brown on both sides.

I let the toast to rest on a towel paper so that all the unwanted oil will be removed and cut in halves and put it on a clean white plate and served with sauces.

What you need:
Eggs
Milk
Baking powder
Salt & Pepper
Spices if you want to make it spicy
Sugar if you prefer it sweet
Oil to fry

It definitely my favorite and a must try!!

 

Original Potato Salad..

It's a New Year..

So I decided to be original and make a simple Potato salad, Yes yes everybody knows how to make Potato salad but!! There are different ways of making a potato salad, Did you know that??

While I'm typing out this post I got my potato's boiling and I shall got out to my Sister in-law  (Megan Silva) house garden to pick up some fresh herbs and some huge yummy spring onion, Which will bring out the flavor of the potato's.

I used 12 potatoes and  8 eggs , Which I had peeled and cut in halves and then wash and put in a pot and to boil with a table spoon of course salt so that it has some flavor once it finished boiled and put my eggs to boil with a teaspoon of vinegar (so that it boils faster) . After the potato's are soft, I strain and add to the serving bowl. Now this is where it gets interesting.... Instead of the basic mayo I'l be using Bulgarian yoghurt. The Bulgarian yoghurt will make it more creamy then mayo,  Then add all the  herbs, spring onion and some pepper and salt plus a little of rosemary.

Last is the eggs , peel and chop them up and add to the salad. I added 1 chillie just to give it a little kick. After that was done I placed the salad in the fridge until it was time to serve.
