lauren leigh is back after 3 years of "being busy"

My last blog post was in May 2013. What? 3 years ago? That cannot be possible - what have I been doing?

Well alot has changed since my last blog post ( 3 years ago) and I decided I have been "too busy" to do something I love - blogging and sharing my thoughts on a social platform.

There are plenty people who discouraged me to start this again. They even joked and said : " who are you writing for? The 3 people who follow you?"
No, I am writing for me. And if any of you lovely people would like to follow me then that is just the cherry on top.

So sit back, enjoy the next few posts to follow and get your friends to jump on board.

Chat soon,

Fifty Shades trilogy

I am sure there are many of you who have heard, read about, seen or know someone who is raving about the Fifty Shades Trilogy by author EL James.

When the books first came out and were launched I decided I was going to stay away from them as I do not usually like to do things because the media recommends it or other people "hype" over something.

But when a friend of mine lent me the first book to try and encourage me to start reading again...I finished the first book in two days! Yip 510 odd pages in two evenings.
Now for me this is an all time record. My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 years and the only thing he has seen me read is Facebook and Twitter.

Now I wasn't enthralled in the books because of the "mommy porn" as the media has called it or the sex scenes ( I actually found those pretty boring and repetitive) but the way EL James writes her books. She somehow manages to capture you ( the reader) into the book and it feels as if you are living the story. Now, for me, that is something extraordinary as alot of authors do not possess this kind of writing skill.

I am going to admit though that by the third book some of the scenes or paragraphs are a bit cheesy and repetitive but it is light reading that captures your imagination and fantasy...that is important for a women to keep alive!

I am looking forward to reading more of her books.

Do yourself a favour and give the books a chance and make your own decisions on the books.

Fundraiser for Layla

I came across this information on this beautiful little girl and how Spotlight productions are trying to raise money for her surgeries and I had to share with as many people as I could so that hopefully some of you would try and support a good cause.

Spotlight Productions is a non-profit theatre company that was started by two ladies who both have full time careers but their mutual love for the theatre and performing lead them to open this company that can help raise funds for various charities by producing and performing shows.

Layla was born with Hemi Facial Microsomia. This means that one side of her skull did not develop properly. This is not something that Layla's mom did through her pregnancy or any hereditary condition - during her 7th week of growth some of the cells split and one group developed faster than the other.

Layla also has no hearing on her left side and currently needs a new type of hearing aid devise which will cost between R26 000 to R45 0000!!
On top of this Layla still needs to undergo the following procedures;

* jaw bone - this needs to be repeated 3 more times
* remove and replace fatty tissue
 * ear reconstructions - another 3 to 5 operations
* BAHA transmitter ( new type of hearing aid devise above) to be implanted

The show is running from the 18th - 21st July and tickets are only R80.
Please see details above on how to get tickets through Kirsten on 0794292898
