A rock hard goodbye

I love September. Sunny days, bright colours, the smell of rain and butterflies. My younger siblings were also born in this lovely month and this September in particular, has been filled with exciting things my side, both in blogging and just life in general. But while I love hiding away in my happy world of blogging, time unfortunately waits for no man. So while I may be many things, I choose to be a student first. This means I have to say goodbye to my dear corner of earth here on Earth to Asi for the next month but because I am the sweet person that I am, I thought I’d exit on a sweet note with some yum eye candy for my lady followers.

EXtravaganza

Zahara - Destiny

I can’t believe 2 years have already passed since I attended my last extravaganza. An evening of lights, camera and tons of action from both the professional and our mighty talented Kovsies amateurs. The highlight of the evening of course- greeting the beautiful Zahara just as she was about to leave Callie.

Instagram Report

Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

A little while ago someone asked why I’m so scarce on Instagram… So this is me giving the full story behind my disappearing act. What happened was, I “lost” my phone the day I left Germany. Lost is in inverted commas coz the “lost” phone was actually lying in a packet with some souvenirs  I’d bought that day. I didn’t think to check the packet coz I was just sure I’d left it in the tram but sometime in December I had to give a friend a souvenir and there lay my dear phone after 4 months chilling in a plastic bag. I then shared a few pictures from my vacation in Cape Town and JHB in December and I would’ve continued to share had I not dropped my phone, crashed the screen and was forced to say goodbye iPhone and hello Blackberry. So after a few months, I have made my way back to the world of insta-this and insta-that and this post will just answer a few things about @asi_lily on Instagram and what you can expect after you hit “follow”. 

Event | Store Launch

Fergie - Glamorous

I have been attending a number of events lately. Some academic, others work-related and some just in the name of fun. But last night I attended my first blogger related event hosted by Mr Jason Viviers, the owner of Jason Viviers Perfume. And what a lovely event it was.

Knowledge is as good as Gold

We Are Golden - Mika

And this post is dedicated to the end-year function that saved myself and a number of others from slight insanity. The venue was a beautiful display of gold -  complete with dripping candles and the lovely smell of olive quiche lingering in the air. The speeches kept to the principles of K.I.S.S. and after a sassy dance performance from one of my fav people, dinner was served and wine glasses refilled. And it was downhill from there… Only kidding, that’s just when all the fun began.

Zambia | New Adventures

Asa - Eye Adaba

I reckon it’s about time! About time I shared some of my travel experiences. A single picture can tell a thousand words but sometimes, only sometimes, pictures fail to reveal all the drama behind the snap. So while there will definitely be pictures in these travel posts, there will be a whole lot more reading than going through pictures. So grab a cup of tea or coffee, or a glass of wine if you may and feast your eyes on my first flight out of South Africa to beautiful Zambia.

Sushi

Angus and Julia Stone - Big Jet Plane

Those who follow me on both Twitter and my Facebook page would've noticed my excitement for supper with Lien last Friday. I am a little sushi obsessed and if my wallet allowed it, I'd probably be addicted to sushi. But this was no ordinary sushi evening, this was a vegan sushi evening.

Port Elizabeth | A Sheepish Goodbye

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars (cover)

Another early morning after a late late night. The last morning in PE was one huge rush. After struggling to get out of bed I had to deal with the packing I should've taken care of the night before and before breakfast I squeezed in a quick visit from Dadddy.

The Panda Made Me Do It

Yesterday's spontaneous shopping spree left me armed with two of my favs this winter -The teddy beanie and a dark lipstick.
