Today I had a new and special experience in the world of blogging. I was awarded for it by a fellow blogger. Anto is my special friend who gave me the award and I’m truly grateful for the compliment, love and support.

As per the rules (there are always rules) I am about to share 7 things I would like to share with you and then give a shout out to my special bloggers who deserve the reward in return. So here goes: Continue reading

We move with the move ...body, mind and soul

Most people silently go about their business, moving under the radar from one day to the next and sneaking off to have a medium sized tattoo in a place that is well thought out. For countless reasons, I am not one of those people. I don’t silently go about my business (a lot of that is relate to the fact that I was born under the jabber, jabber sign on Libra) and rather choose to write about my life for the whole world to see.

I don’t fly under the radar and I didn’t slip into the shadows to have a tattoo either. Oh, and according to the reactions of many unsuspecting (even though prepared and fully aware) the tat is so much bigger than expected.

That, my friends, is the first of many gifts that this masterpiece has given me, in less than 24 hours. Continue reading

Well worth the wait ... and they lied, it was ouch!

I’m actually a little more overwhelmed by the experience than ever imaginable and plan to just take a breath and enjoy the gift that I’ve finally given myself … with a pain killer, some numbing ointment and ice cream! Continue reading

Even though I’ve got a dear friend who’s helped me prep for this afternoon’s tattoo and I’m more than a thousand percent sure that I want this beautiful piece of art that is symbolic and permanent … I can’t help but admit that yesterday was consumed with the distracting fears of the needle.

Text Guy thinks I’ll chicken out just before and Mr Big was surprisingly impressed that I was following through. Little did he know that something he said was the final confirmation that I was born to have this tattoo. Continue reading

From the humble beginnings of forcing myself to go to gym and not exactly enjoying much of it, I have become one of those people who schedules my plans around squats, lungs and bicep curls. No matter how busy the weekend, it has become my tradition to begin my Saturday and Sunday with a heart pumping workout.
I do leg training (or let’s say I did) on a Saturday and then back to upper body on Sunday, but after not really being able to get past one step of cardio without the muscles of my legs screaming ‘bite me’ … I’ve decided to mix it up a little. Let’s do upper on Saturday, legs on a Sunday on give the poor things a break until I go for my middle of the week session. I know I’m supposed to be goalless … but I’ve gotto be a little logical too. The purpose of project me is fun … and damn straight that I’m finally having it at gym.
P stands for heart pump and a whole lot of pleasure! Continue reading

I strategically planned that I blogged on Friday night in order to free up my bumble bee bizzzzy day on Saturday, but I didn’t think that Sunday would fly away from me too and the next thing it would be Sunday night.

I officially haven’t missed a day considering I did Friday on Friday, now Saturday on Sunday … and tomorrow morning I shall be back on track. Continue reading

I’m currently blogging while being totally swept away by one of my favourite movie, first knight. I’m a hopeless romantic and am never more swept away than into the fairytale arms of Lancelot and Guinevere. I also have such a full weekend that I also have to blog tonight. Not that I’m complaining considering I’m bursting to talk about one of the most exciting days I’ve had since the beginning of ‘project me‘. Continue reading

The new look of jodene.co.za

Yesterday finally signalled relaunch day for my website and big reveal day for my second blog. Behind the scenes I’ve been secretly working on branding my specially designed products and preparing the first blog posts.

I’m the worst at having a surprise and not being able to share it. Christmas time is a nightmare for me because I have to buy my presents early to avoid the shopping rush, but then I’m forced to sit with the secret of the gifts and not spoil my friends for days … Continue reading

The relaunch of my website and new design of logo that is perfectly aligned with the company (Lifeology) image is so close that I can almost taste it. I’ve been very hush, hush about the new blog that I’m launching at the same time and have been very calculating and sneaky in doing so … it’s all part of the ingredients that create success.

So is 28 day aged rump, fettucine, olive oil, garlic, chilli, a whole load of fresh herbs and a cream tub of crumbled feta cheese … no wait … that’s the ingredients used to schmoozle the friend who works for the publishing house. I know the dish is a winner because Continue reading

My absolute favourite series on TV is House. There’s too much about it to admire, chuckle at and return for to even mention, but when an episode relates exactly to you … you gasp. It wasn’t the dying person (she sighs with relief) but her lifestyle that had me fixated and analyzing my symptoms. She was a blogger. Continue reading
