Words of Wisdom


My Sexy Gogga



I am married to the most awesome man. Wynand is funny, gorgeous, smart, hilarious, sensitive, intelligent, sexy, caring, loving and happy.

Wyn is an electronic software engineer, and works for a huge international company as a Junior Project Manager. He works really hard, is very dedicated and committed, and I hope his bosses know his worth!

We met as students in Potchefstroom, I was 19, Wyn was 21. My first impression of the dude, was: Sexy Party Animal! We got along so well from the start, there was always so much to chat about and laugh about.

Six years after meeting the man of my dreams, I married him. My soulmate.

We love spending evenings in each other's company - sitting on the patio with a bottle of vino, playing songs to each other; going out for a prawn dinner; a Sunday breakfast; or a cocktail at sunset - such special times!

Ek's lief vir jou, my gogga, jy's my hart se punt, jy's my tingeling, jy's my liefste ding.

Inner Peace

Dr. Neil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started...


So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't finished; and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay , a bole of Baileys, a butle of Kehuha, a pockage of biscuits , the mainder of bot Prozic and Valum scriptins, the rest of the Cheescake, some saltins an a bax a cholates...

Yu haf no idr who gud I fel.

My Skincare Centre


I run a skincare centre from my home. I love working from home, it really suits me. It was very easy, and fun, to convert one of the spare bedrooms into a little haven of relaxation and peacefulness. I advertise in the residential estate's magazine, where I live, and occasionally do ladies golf day promotions.

Treatments that I do, include facials, massages, manicures, pedicures, waxing, tinting, and eyelash extensions. I really enjoy what I do, I enjoy the hands-on work, love working with people. I make sure that the treatment room always has soothing music playing, and a oil burner, with divine smelling essential oils.

The product brand I use, is Dermalogica. This has been my passion product ever since I went for my first facial when I was 16. I think Dermalogica is even the reason why I went on to study health and skincare therapy.

I find it hard that my income is so sporadic. There will be one week where I'm fully booked, and then the next week there's not a single client for days on end.

Hopefully September will bring people out of hibernation! Usually this is the time when people want to start painting toenails again, waxing, and generally revitalise themselves. I love spring time, the whole vibe and atmosphere always feels excited, happy and motivated. I'll make use of that feeling to inspire my clients!

I do think the current economic state of SA has had an effect on my business - when times are tough, treatments such as facials and pedicures are the first things to go, to cut costs and save money.

However, I have two new adverts coming out soon in two more residential estate magazines - and I think this is going to be just the boost I need!

Pilates For Wine Lovers




NALA






Nala is our precious puppy. She's about 4 months old now, and we just love her to bits! She's very playful and curious, and loves people. She obeys the 'sit' command, and also knows her name, 'no', and 'don't bite'!


We take her for walks most days, and she loves that little outing. She sleeps in our bedroom, in the corner, in her own little bed. The first couple of weeks, hubby and I had to make turns to take her outside in the middle of the night, but luckily now, she sleeps the through the night.


She loves finding a spot of sun to snooze in, that's her favourite thing.

Here I Am, This Is Me


I am Jess. I'm 26, and work as a skincare therapist from my home. I'm married to Wyn, a handsome, intelligent, funny, sexy, sensitive, happy man.
My blog is going to be about me. So this includes: my husband, my dog, family, our holidays, and things that make me laugh. Poems I like, pictures I like, or anything else that inspires me.
I am currently on a weight loss mission to shed a few kilo's - this is bound to take up a few of my posts!
I enjoy reading, music, wine, chocolate, and sunshine.
These are just a few of my favourite things!
