I have been working 2 main projects in my spare (read: hours in front of a PC not doing the 8-5er/7isher). These 2 projects have now broadened to 3. I’m starting a PodCast. I’m starting a Cycling & Fitness Club. I’m starting a Revolution within the South African Blogging Community. These two avenues will all [...]

Why so serious? Last night Tracy convinced me to try a facemask. I’m no longer a mud-pie-face-goo-virgin!!

I have rejoined Virgin Active (Due to lack of attendance – I know, [...]
