Vince Vaughn for Jacaranda 94.2′s Sexy Stamp of Approval

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

Last night Jacques and I were on good mate, Martin Bester’s radio Drive Show. We spoke about the normal chit chat topics … Survivor, our Engagement, Jacques’ up coming music projects and then Janina (Martin’s machine of a traffic reader) educated us on her daily project ~ Jacaranda’s Sexy Stamp of Approval.

First she stamped Jacques, or maybe that’s an understatement … She painted Jacques with many stamps affording him her approval of his sexiness.

I was then asked to make a suggestion on the next candidate, and I bent the bar a bit. At first I suggested Jared Leto, but apparently he’s already been approved so I suggested Vince Vaughn instead… Now I know Vince is not your typical toned tush and tight tummy but isn’t he just so hysterical and sweet it passes for sexy? He’s big (which I love, there’s nothing better than feeling totally tiny in your man’s arms), he’s absolutely hilarious, he’s by no means ugly – just not your normal hottie and you know what, I love that! In an industry full of  macho, masculine men it’s nice to have a little averageness.

Plus, Have you seen his mom? May I add that she is 70 years old (There’s gotta be good gene’s in there)

I read a comment on the Martin Bester Drive Facebook page “Sexy? HELL NO! Jacques so much more eye catching!” Of course I agree, no question about that! Jacques is just… well, my perfection. With Jacques I found the funny, the realness, the big heart and beautiful mind. His ab’s, ass and adorable face are just a bonus :) All I’m saying is that Vince Vaughn holds sexiness too, in his own non conventional, unique,  real kind of a way!

And yes, I like that!

Our Hearts Lie In The Mountains

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

Every April since 1995, my family have made the effort to press pause on their fast paced lives for one long weekend, make the trip (whether it be from Swaziland, Amanzimtoti, Pietermaritzburg, Johannesburg or Cape Town) and come together. Meeting at a supreme spot in the Drakensburg Mountains called, Castle Burn. For the last 3 years I have taken Jacques along with me and as Castle Burn does, it has now embedded itself in his heart too.

This year was no different. April being the perfect time for Drakies weather with its beautiful sunny days and fresh fireplace appropriate nights. There is everything and anything to find that promotes relaxing and recharging. From canoeing to hiking, fishing to tennis, Spa treatments to pool, golf to horse riding, table tennis to trampolines and the most breathtaking view where I simply surrender to the scenery and enjoy catching up on reading. Castle Burn is my place to relax and recharge, and this year it was welcomed more so then ever.
Making myself the promise to no pack GHD’s or Make Up and solely living in my work out gear where hiking, canoeing and pool were the order of the day. Keeping active, while freeing my mind of Joburg city rush … Never fails to be anything but bliss.
What marked a memorable occasion was the handing down of my Step Grandfathers, 50 year old fishing rod to my brother. More magical, was the fact that my Grandfather, a renowned fisherman, who unfortunately now suffers from Parkinson’s disease and battles to take himself out for early morning fishing, was out on the lake when my brother caught is first fish off the legendary rod.
Thank you to my beautiful family for yet another memory made, of board games, birthday cakes and too many Easter eggs.
Until next year…

There’s one brilliant bonus to what we do, and that is Sponsorships. Jacques and I are lucky enough to have hair and hair products sponsored by MC Hairdressing and Schwarzkopf.

Recently we did a campaign shoot, and well, here’s the result…


This image will go up outside the Hairdressing Salon, and the team involved are eager to get it on the Greenstone Billboard too.

Thank you to all involved in the shoot, we had loads of fun and are only honoured to represent such awesome brands!
