Today we went on a tour and learned about elephants.. We got to feed, pet, get kisses from, and ride some of the most amazing creatures on the planet.
Getting a kiss.
Riding the elephants :)
Getting ready to go in the hamster ball(I love my grandpa)

Just A Quick Update :)
Hello everybody!
Because I am feeling lazy (and its 11 PM here) I am posting a quick update, a couple pictures, then I am heading to bed. Today we went to the University Miguel plays soccer at and had a cappuccino at the on campus restaurant while he went to physical therapy for his hurt leg. Then we went shopping in a little plaza area and I got four very cute things :) After returning home I completed my new favorite book, The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. Then we headed to the airport to pick up my step-dad, Grandpa, and grandpa's fiance. When I got home I got to video chat with my dad, step-mom, and siblings(who I miss so much). Today was a really nice, fairly chill day and I really enjoyed it.

Cute cargo pants(which were on my list of articles of clothing I wanted...CHECK)
Baggy sweater(really cute on)
Can you tell I like hunter green?
Lastly I got these glasses(which according to Miguel's sister look like bug eyes). I don't care though...I love em ;)

Kept Accountable
Hello everyone!
So my sister and I recently decided that everyday that we are home ALL day that we are going to eat mainly fruits and veggies(with the exception of quinoa and yogurt). So to keep myself accountable I have decided to blog about it. (beware this is a little bit of a rip-off of my sisters many food posts)
Breakfast:
Banana, Apple(with cinnamon and brown sugar), Strawberry yogurt
After that my mom, sister, and I went on a walk (:
Lunch:
Salad with carrots and french dressing, quinoa with carrots and chicken broth
Snack:
I had a bowl of healthy sloppy joe meat(because I was starving and mumsy suggested eating protein)
Also throughout the day (every time I got a random urge to eat something sweet) I ate a bite of this. It may sound dumb but hey it worked!
Dinner:
Fish soup(Yumm)
I also ate a salad just like lunch with my dinner :)
So I'd say I did pretty good! Now I just need to continue this for the next two weeks!

if i were a runway model...
I'd dress like this:
I'd wear my hair like this:
I'd wear my make up like this:
If I could I’d look like this all the time, but living in the small town that I live in I can only imagine the strange looks I would get walking into the store, church, or any of the other places I go… I guess I don’t really care but for now I’ll just wear toned down versions of this.

One day when I live in a big city, owning my bakery/coffee shop, I’ll dress however I want and wear however much makeup I want…

where cute meets tomboy
Hey guys!
So today, day 10 of our South Africa trip, was shopping day numero dos. Although today was not nearly as spectacular, to say the least, as the first I still enjoyed myself.
Another picture in heaven a.k.a Woolworth's shoe section(check Wednesday's post here)
My outfit today was a little more tomboy-ish than usual(which was what I was going for). I wore the floral shoes(see here) with this outfit.. I pretty much went Au Natural with my make up today(don't you just love the random touches of foreign languages in this post?) and threw my hair up into a cute, messy bun. Getting ready today took me like 5 minutes...it was great. While shopping, I just couldn't resist trying on the "Lady Gaga shoes" (or so my mom calls them) that I have been eying for our last 3 visits to Woolworths.
After returning home my sister and I began making dinner(my mom instructing me what to do every 5 seconds because I can't cook if my life depended on it).
Perfect bonding time for us

Hey everyone!
Sorry for the lack of posts this last couple of days but I'm not exactly sure how many of you will continue reading my blog if I write about the fact that I sat around and just "hung out". This last two days have been just that with the exception of my interesting night last night. After shooing my sister and her fiance(Miguel) out the door for their date my mom, twin(Miguel's sister), and twins mom frantically got ready for my sister's bachelorette party. (Read her post here for more detail) We met the other girls at the location and awaited her arrival. While opening gifts she was told before opening the last gift she had to make R500($80). Let's just say that was the best part of the night. We walked around the entire place watching her ask people for money. After two hours she made R3,000($500).
