Dettol SA to Donate R1 million to the Children's Hospital Trust

banner_for_cht_website

The Red Cross Children’s Hospital was built in 1956 and is the only stand alone, specialist children’s hospital dedicated entirely to children in southern Africa. The Hospital is a public tertiary and secondary level hospital in Cape Town, and is dedicated to delivering word-class paediatric treatment, care, research and specialist training. As a referral Hospital patients include very sick children who need highly complex interventions to recover.

With your help, Dettol will be donating R1 million to this great cause. Dettol is asking mothers to become heroes by liking the Dettol SA Facebook page and thus adding momentum to their donation. The Dettol SA Facebook page will also be sharing valuable tips and information with South African mothers pertaining to sustainable family health and hygiene. It has been found that many diseases affecting child mortality can be reduced by 75% by adopting good hygiene habits.

The Facebook page will also have a Q and A section where mothers can ask parenting and family health questions. Mothers, along with Dettol, will also be given an opportunity to answer other mothers’ questions using the valuable knowledge they have gained from caring for their families.

 Every mother wants to protect the health and wellbeing of their children. Get on board with this great initiative and improve the health of your family, as well as that of the sick children at the Red Cross Children’s Hospital.

30 Day Photo Challenge, Be Inspired, FAR Photography, Quotes

My 30 Day Challenge

I recently wrote a blog post on New Years Resolutions and why they are so hard to keep, the responses were very positive. One of my readers recommended that I watch a Ted talk by Matt Cutts, its only three minutes long and well worth watching- I found it very inspirational. Watching this video inspired me to start My 30 Day Challenge.  [Read more…]

Monday Inspiration

 

56928382759463933_e49oljux_

 

I recently took part in an interview series on the blog Becoming you, called What I. Answering the various questions got me thinking about what it is that motivates me on a daily basis, what gets me out of bed in the morning and what keeps me awake at night!

To quote myself: [quote style=”1″]Where to begin – I guess I want what we all want – world peace, an end to all violence and suffering! To be loved and to love! To be the best darn version of me I can be!  [/quote]These were among the “things” I want in life but more important were the “things” I need – [quote style=”1″] To be loved! To shop! To be more patient – especially with my girls! Nag less! Worry less! Laugh more! Not to care what others think about me and just be myself! [/quote]

What I have taken away from doing this interview is that first and foremost I have to be true to myself! I need to do the things that I love and in essence make me happy!

So take time out on this Monday morning and think about what makes you happy and DO IT!

What I…My Blogger Interview on Becoming you

 

Today I am being featured on Becoming you’s What I series – this is a weekly series where Becoming you features the answers from “What I…” questions of various inspirational bloggers and today I was the lucky blogger!

It really is quite difficult to answer questions about yourself but it really makes you reflect on what is important in your life! Here are my answers to “What I”…

 

 

What I….

Know

I am someone’s daughter, someone’s wife, someone’s mother and a woman of God. That life is too short not to live every day to the fullest.

Love

What do I love? First and foremost my family! I am lucky to have married the love of my life & we are still living the dream after 15 years of marriage! I love life, food, my Lavazza coffee machine, good wine and pink bubbles – I guess the finer things in life! Pretty much anything creative – cooking, art, photography, fashion and writing – anything that helps me express the true me! Cape Town – the beautiful city I call home!

Read

I am a bit of a Psychological Thriller junkie! I have read almost every book, by local author Margie Orford – at present I am reading her newest novel Gallows Hill. My other recent favourites have been – The Help by Kathryn Stockett and I don’t know how she does it by Allison Pearson. I am not big on newspapers or other news publications – I am a bit of an ostrich when it comes to bad news!

Wear

This depends very much on the occasion at hand – if it’s during the school week you will find me in practical comfy stuff – jeans, shorts, t-shirts, vests depending on the weather. Pink is my favourite colour – the brighter the better! I believe shoes make an outfit – I love the wedge heels that are so trendy this season. I love dressing up and feeling sexy and sensual – so I need no excuse to get glammed up for an evening out! Locally I frequent shops like Poetry, Old Khaki and usually have success at YDE. I love shopping overseas, as I am a shorty I find it difficult to find pants and jeans that fit me in SA – I love Zara, Top Shop, River Island… in fact I feel the need for a shopping trip this year!

Need

To be loved! To shop! To be more patient – especially with my girls! Nag less! Worry less! Laugh more! Not to care what others think about me and just be myself!
