Weekend Me-Time

sudio-earphones

Ah, weekend me-time; there are few things quite like it. Because The Husband works for a few hours on a Saturday morning, I make sure to recharge my introvert self by occupying myself with the things that feed my soul; music, photography, books and a relaxing cup of tea.

Current me-time favorites:

- Grown Alchemist Vanilla & Orange Peel hand cream (here)

- KINFOLK Volume 17 (here)

- Sudio KLANG earphones (here) Get 15% off your purchase with code: LIESL15 (until Oct 31, 2015)

- Harrods English Breakfast tea (here)

Do you set aside a time for yourself every week? 
What do you like to do for quality me-time?

I Must Be INSTA-Dreaming!

instagram-flatlay-style-monochrome

I can't say that I wasn't beside myself with joy when I was recently contacted by ELLE Magazine SA, informing me that they have chosen my Instagram account as one of their weekly INSTA-CRUSH features. ELLE Magazine SA! The same magazine that I used to beg my mom to buy me every month as a teenage girl, and would pour over for hours, drooling over the gorgeous fashion and latest beauty products. They like my Instagram account!? Am I dreaming?

I really thought I was, so I didn't tell anyone about it, except The Husband and a couple of close friends. It just seemed too good to be true. But sure enough, last week my feature was published on their website as that week's INSTA-CRUSH.

Maybe to some people it wouldn't be such a big deal, but I'm pretty excited about it and extremely grateful for the opportunity. Posting my photographs on Instagram has become one of my favorite hobbies, and it feels good to know that others enjoy it, too.

I thought I'd share this delightful news with you, and also take the time to thank each of you who take the time to support and encourage me. I truly appreciate it! Oh, before I forget the most important part, here's the link to my feature and Q&A on ELLE Magazine SAhttp://www.elle.co.za/insta-crush-_liesl_/

Have a lovely weekend and feel free to follow me on Instagram if you haven't already.

Europe Photo Diary

As promised, I'm bringing you a photo diary of our recent trip to Europe (read all about it here). Even though I'm dedicating an entire blog post to my travel pics, it was still hard choosing from the hundreds of snapshots I made. These are some of my favorites captured during our three weeks in Europe, all taken with my iPhone 6 Plus. Enjoy!
