The Sound of Music

Sigma - Nobody to Love

So as time drew closer and closer to my return I started thinking of where I'd begin. From where we left-off or something completely new. First of all, so much has happened since I was blogging more regularly. Secondly, a repeat of my actions the past 3 months could possibly bore the life outta everyone following me on twitter (do the right thing btw @asilily). So while I’m dancing around my room, hair brush in hand, rollers in hair and dance moves on lock-down... it hits me. I’ve shared all sorts on Earth to Asi, but with the exception of my Blog tracks, I haven’t shown much love to a huge part of my life. Music. Let’s talk music.

Earth Mail

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off

Hey everyone. O man have I missed sharing with you guys. It’s been such an insane time away. I have laughed myself breathless and cried myself to sleep all in this beautiful month of October. My beautiful mom was born in October so October is a true blessing but I have to share something that’s weighing heavy on my heart right now.

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.

So you may have noticed inMy Heritage post that my hair is looking a whole lot shorter than before. I started this year off with shortish hair, changed my relaxer and my hair started growing seriously fast. I experimented with a number of youtube videos on hair growth and volume – everything from stretching my relaxer period, making use of homemade hair masks and at a stage I stopped applying heat to my hair and made use of good ol’ hair curlers (rollers). Basically, I was bored with my hair and my sensitive scalp forced me to put an end to all things hair extensions related.

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.

One Lovely Blog Award

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off

Morning guys

So yesterday I received a lovely nomination from the beautiful Nati – another first this lovely September. This nomination got me smiling from ear to ear, making me feel a lovely part of blogville.  The nomination is for the One Lovely Blog Award, a cool blogger initiative that doesn’t only introduce different viewers to new blogs but also for us bloggers to just share ideas and get inspired.

My Heritage

Firstly, can you believe it's September already? Secondly, that it's already the 24th of September - meaning we're well on our way to October and before we know it, we'll be singing Jingle Bells and a Ho Ho Ho. So I realise that people across the world are sitting at their desks, earning a living, not in South Africa. We're outchea braaing and sleeping in late because the 24 of September is our annual Heritage Day, aka National Braai Day. But while I will be enjoying a lekke chop later on, I believe that we should all play our part in ensuring that this day is not minimised to a braai day, kodwa sikhumbule imvelaphi yethu. This one is quite a read, so lie back and let me tell you a little something about my heritage.
