In Pursuit of Happiness

The Stranger Things 'exhibition' in Forurways Mall was really cool. Queued for HOURS but the experience was worth the wait given the days I've been having. #strangerthings https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce6rr3DjN3L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Really wondering whether I should keep my head bald and just buy many wigs for the cold days. I like how beautiful I look bald. https://www.instagram.com/p/CeoGIp2DnEi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Enjoyed Top Gun at Ster Kinekor the other night. The movie was inspiring, it's always exciting to watch passionate characters on screen. It also left me thinking about how committed our defence forces are. A lot of sacrifice is required for the work they do and there really is a lot that they do. https://www.instagram.com/p/CekxjNdD4ET/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Obesity is a prevalent issue in South Africa and this challenge prevails alongside concerns about food security and land distribution in this country. 

My naughty self enjoyed a fresh donut for breakfast this morning! A lot of sugar, I wonder how I'll feel later in the day. https://www.instagram.com/p/CeVad9NjwWc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How do all these foodies make all their meals look so sexy? https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQ93hMjz3H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Love these convenient Pick n Pay meals https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQqAmmDdyC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Soju is really delicious! It's considered a Korean variation of vodka, but it's made from rice and/or sweet potato and has a lower alcohol content. This was basically a cocktail in a bottle- sweet and smooth. Definitely want to try the other flavors! https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQRH3xDxpZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The toughest part of losing weight was figuring out what I should be eating to fill up without overeating or consuming too many calories. I'm still figuring this out, and I realise it would be a lot easier if I improved my cooking skills. It would be so awesome to know how to make home cooked meals look that taste as good as a restaurant meal. (at Tashas Waterfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeLBydFDFFs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Experimenting with new looks lately has been quite an adventure. I've tended to prioritize my intellectual life over the things that tend to be important to conforming to conventional living. This has been what #freedom means to me- the possibilities that I can imagine and the attempts to figure out how to realise those possibilities. Dressing up turns out to have a similar effect I've now learned. This is why #fastfashion is so popular. You can stock your closet without many different masks and costumes. Everyday you could be a different character. My idea of #sustainable shopping, is to avoid buying clothes when I don't need anything new. But that takes away this shallow sense of freedom. As I grapple with how to contribute to a sustainable world, alternative expressions of freedom need to be figured out. These are the real drivers of #consumption https://www.instagram.com/p/CbGg-lXMYA1/?utm_medium=tumblr

Really enjoyed the Rollercade at Battery Park yesterday. My body is aching, because I fell so hard and held onto the tripod/walker for dear life. The staff were so friendly and the music was really cool. Looking forward to going back there. (at Battery Park, V&A Waterfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbDk90iMzFA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Supporting local business definitely feels good! Bought Y? GEN merch in Cape Town and the t-shirts feel good! Had a great time at the store also. #DOPE https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca7X-REsHlq/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Book Thief by Zusak is one of my all time favorite books. They took so long to make the movie, but it was definitely worth the wait. Can you imagine learning to read for the first time from a grave diggers handbook? Wow. Progress is such an amazing thing https://www.instagram.com/p/CasOEays6Tf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Visiting the aquarium while in Cape Town convinced me there's a whole other world under water. I'm really keen to know what's down there https://www.instagram.com/p/CaSFQT6MoGS/?utm_medium=tumblr
