  • IT’S MONDAY!!!! I feel like I always start my posts by telling you guys what day of the week it is. Like duh! We know, Loraine!!!!😜 . Stating what day of the week it is, internally, just gets my brain mentally prepared for the day. Especially when it’s Monday. I need to feel energized and motivated more than any other day of the week! . This photo was taken in Hermanus this past weekend 😊 Can you imagine, I was born in that town, grew up in that town…been in and out since 2013…and STILL I am obsessed with that place! My absolute fave destination to have a break from hectic city life (not including the Maldives haha!). . I know it’s Monday, and we’re all bleak to be back at work – but this is just a little motivation to let you know that you’re not alone! We all have to work hard to get what we want…even though Instagram makes it look like everyone is just living their best lives on a beach somewhere 24/7…it’s not a true representation. And little gems like displayed above don’t have to be oversees and cost thousands of cash dolla! Pure bliss could be awaiting you but a mere hour’s drive away from your work-week. Find it! And enjoy the little breaks in between the madness 😊 . Hope you all have a FAB week and are looking forward to an awesome mini-break for Women’s Day on Thursday! . . . . . #MondayMotivation #Hermanus #MotivationalMessage #BeautifulPlacesaroundtheworld #quoteoftheday #MotivationMonday
  • And we’re back to the WEEKEEEEEND!!!!! It’s been a long busy week, but now it’s finally weekend and time to CHILL out HARD! . Hope you all had a fab week. But just to catch y’all up on ma life (fitness wise): . This past week was my LAST week in my 2 month bulking phase 😊 So next week I’m back to my usual HIIT training and a strict diet. It’s been so wonderful to eat whatever I want, but now it’s time to define those muscles I’ve built (let’s just say, my biceps are poppin! Haha!). . Next week is going to be killer! I haven’t done my HIIT workouts in 2 months so I know I ‘m going to die on Monday! Wish me luck ;P . Also – you guys can expect a blog post from me all about my 2 month bulk SOON SOON! It’s going to be a long one, outlining my workouts and a few things I learnt along the way 😊 Hope y’all are AMPED 😉 . Have an awesome weekend! . . . . . #tgif #happyfriday #bulkingphase #fitness #gettingripped #capetown #healthblogger #musclebuilding #ladiesfitness
  • Today, I’d like to share something that I’m very proud of – my sugar-free rusk recipe for the hopeless rusk junkie (basically for myself haha!). Is anyone else addicted to rusks? Or is it just me? . Anyway, not so long ago I decided it was time to bake my own rusks and stop consuming the store-bought junk (don’t get me wrong, they are incredibly tasty, but not doing anything for my health – or waistline for that matter!). If you work in an office environment, you will know that getting up to make some tea or coffee is always a very welcome break in the workday. I got into the habit of having a rusk with tea every morning between breakfast and lunch, and every afternoon between lunch and dinner. And now I’m completely hooked haha! . Which is why I’m so STOKED to have baked these yummies now FINALLY! Took me a while…and a few failures before I got it right 😊 Still, these babies aren’t as sweet as store-bought rusks, but they satisfy my craving just right! Plus, I packed them with SUBSTANCE guys!! Bran, nuts, cranberries, coconut! So good! . You can find the full recipe (including a video tutorial) link in biooooo!!! Please give them a go and let me know what you think <3 . . . . . #ruskrecipe #rusks #rusklover #sugarfreerecipe #sugarfreelife #sugarfreerusks #sugarfreetreats #guiltfree #fridayfeels #foodie #capetownfoodie #capetown #tgif
  • Would you look at that poser! Wow😂🙈 Haha - honestly guys, when someone captures your good angle (trust me they are RARE!), then it would only be a waste to let that GOLD go unposted 😜 . This was taken last weekend in Hermanus. WOW how I LOVE that place…and soon I will be seeing quite a lot of it actually, so I’m SUPER STOKED! Cape Town is an incredible city - no doubt about it - but somehow my hometown of Hermanus just has a way of calming me down and also bringing me back down to earth. . It’s where I grew up, went to school, learnt to drive, and started my fitness journey (back in high school). My house was right up against the mountain and I used to go for a walk up there when things got hectic or stressed in my life. Looking from above is SUCH A GREAT way to gain perspective and realise that your problems really aren’t that big. . That’s how I chill out :) Go for a walk on the mountain. Trick is to be by yourself tho - and tbh that’s probably not the best idea here! (Maybe try the beach - it’s a close second 😉) Try it, be still with nature, and see how it works for you :) . Have a good evening guys ❤️ . . . . . #mindfulness #meditation #poser #capetown #hermanus #stressrelief #naturelover #tbt
  • Happy #Humpday guys🙌🏻🎉 Hope you all are having a great week so far! Once I get to Wednesday it always feels like I’ve finally reached the top of a very steep hill on my bicycle, and now it’s just a relief to free-wheel all the way to the weeeekeeeend🎉 Kinda amped for it to be completely honest 😄 Always! . But before we can whisper sweet nothings about weekend adventures, we still need to make it through the next 3 days. After a powerful motivation on a Monday, I need a #mondaymotivation part 2 on Wednesday 💪🏻 aka #winewednesday😜 (my favourite thing about Wednesday evenings after work) . Okay okay so my caption doesn’t make any sense when you look at the picture. I was actually going to start by explaining the beautiful colorful streets of #capetown depicted above, but then I got carried away as usual🙈 This is not my own photo, but rather a gorgeous picture I found on Pinterest. Crazy how beautiful our city is hey?! So many little hidden treasures like this one: casual street settings👌🏻 . Anyway y’all, I’m off - enjoy the day and the wine you will of course be enjoying later this evening (or earlier even, I don’t judge😜) • • • • • #motivationmessage #wednesdaythoughts #beautifulcity #streetsofcapetown #traveltosouthafrica
  • IT’S MONDAY!💪🏻😎 Yeah I know I’m pointing out the obvious...but sometimes I feel like I need to say it out loud to get my head in the game for the week. Monday’s are tough so I need to psych myself up a bit and tell myself that TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY😌☝🏻 . This weekend was soooo lovely!!! Saturday afternoon I whipped up a batch of SUGAR-FREE health rusks (recipe coming soon😃) - the above is a picture of all the dry ingredients: flour, pecan nuts, cranberries, coconut and bran💪🏻 Only good stuff! . If you know me at all - you know I’m a SUCKER for a good rusk😍😍 (Maybe I should think about starting a risk business 🤔😂). These were really good! Love being able to DUNK to my heart’s content and not feel guilty about all the sugar I’m consuming😌🙌🏻. . Hope you all have a FAB week!!!💪🏻💪🏻 • #rusks #ruskrecipe #weekendfun #sugarfree #sugarfreerecipe #mondaymotivation #capetown #winterwarmer
  • What time is iiiiiiit????? (No, not time to buy a watch🙄) IT’S THE WEEEEEEKEEEEEEND!!!!!! It’s so totally hilarious how we look forward to these 2 days of the week. Actually, when you think about it - do you want to be living your life like that? Shouldn’t we wake up every morning excited to be alive? If I’m being honest, in a way it’s kinda nice to always have something to look forward to. But I’d rather let that be exciting travel trips and other excursions than having to be excited about a weekend every week. Deep thoughts yo!🙈 But my 2 cents is that we need to get out of our comfort zones (it’s DAMN HARD), and try and live for a life that we can be excited about EVERY SINGLE DAY! I’m working on it😎 and I hope you all are too😘 Happy Friday🎉 • • • • • #friday #friyay #fridaythoughts #insirationalmessage #motivationalpost #itstheweekend #tgif #capetown #vans
  • When you’re the only one who can take a good picture of yourself😂 • Happy #HumpDay peeps! Or rather...my favourite...happy #WineWednesday🍷🙌🏻 Don’t know what I’m having for dinner yet...but it sure as hell will be accompanied by a good glass of red vino☝🏻 • • • • • #wine #winelover #canon #photography #poser #winewednesday #wednesday #happyitsnearlyfriday
  • Wow! Did I need this smoothie today🙈😂 Had such a rough weekend of eating rather terribly to be honest (and drinking a lil too much unfortunately😂 but I can never say no to wine!). Anyway, thought I’d give my body a nutritional boost with a good green smoothie and literally stuff as much goodness as possible into this thing😂 I’m talking LOTS of spinach, ginger, lemon juice and a hit of protein! I love how I can stuff all of that goodness into a smoothie and somehow it still tastes rather yummy👌🏻The secret to a great tasting smoothie is a little banana and vanilla protein powder (I use French vanilla ice cream flavour😍 from @nutritechfit).
