27 Boxes, Melville.


27 Boxes is an amazing shopping centre, positioned right in the heart of Johannesburg's gypsy town,  Melville. It is made entirely out of shipping containers of all different colours. The shops are all very different and exciting, ranging from arty clothing to delicious cakes. It is a bright and vibrant place for young people as well as a great place to spend the day with the family.

 Two shops that stood out to me where an amazing macaroon shop and an exquisite cake shop.
The cake shop, Crumbs 'n Smiles, can make any cake of your choice. The few on display included, a protea cake as well as a minion cake. Being a baker, this shop caught my eye due to the incredible detail in each cake.







After looking around at this incredible place, we sat down at The Countess Gastro Pub for a bite to eat. We soon discovered that they make the most amazing milkshakes, with the most outrageous flavour combinations. For lunch, I enjoyed Cheese and Chorizo on ciabatta bread and a Salted Caramel and Popcorn milkshake. It was such a stunning meal that I decided to take my family back there the following week.







If you are looking for a change of scenery and something different to do. I would defiantly  recommend taking a trip to 27 Boxes.
I hope it brings out your inner gypsy.











Lots of  Love

Typo Lenses

Image
I have recently discovered the smart phone lenses that Typo have brought out. They are absolutely amazing lenses that you can attach to any smart phone and take artistic shots without the need of the new specialized cameras. I have two types of lenses. The first one is a fish eye lens, so it has a rounded effect. Almost like you looking at the photo through a fish's eye. It creates amazing shots of scenic views or very creative pictures of you and your friends. The second type of lens is a kaleidoscope. This lens can create very unusual but eye catching photo's. When taking pictures with this lens, I would recommend to take them of single object in order to get the full effect. Both of these lenses are so much fun to play around with and make beautiful creations. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Lots of Love

Visiting a Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam

Image
So my blog has been extremely quite lately, due to an unfortunate visit to a local hospital. Wait WHAT??? So lets start from the beginning. On a lovely Sunday morning, the day after my birthday, I was on my way home on the back of an Uber Moto(scooter taxi). A garbage truck decided to over take us, because there are no rules in Vietnamese traffic, and I landed up lying in the middle of the street. So I checked I was okay and everything seemed lovely until I got to my right thigh. Turns out a metal piece on the truck had cut my thigh right through to the muscle and I could see the inside of my leg. Thank goodness I had so many amazing angels around me and I managed to get to a hospital. As we drove into the hospital I freaked out because it is very different from what I am used to back in South Africa. The emergency room was tiny and I had a million Vietnamese doctors and nurses trying to help me, however I had no idea what they were trying to say. The language barrier continued
