Happy New Year :)

So, I've spent the last few moments of 2013 in some place in George ( in the Eastern Province i think). It's kind of sad that the last time I spent new years in Cape Town was about probably 5 years ago. I've always wanted to be in Cape Town during New Years, hopefully, at the end of 2014, it will be my lucky time.
Every single year we do the same thing. I'm on my phone reading everyones fun new years tweets and statuses while my parents and siblings sleep in the tents on camp wherever we are.
This time,I wanted something more fun.
I couldnt stand spending it the same way I always did for the past 5 years.
Luckily, a few of my cousins were camping with us this/last year, so we weren't that lonely. I decided since I can't go to a new years party (too much alcohol),I'll bring a party to us. Even if it wasn't a party but just a fun countdown. I went to the shop, bought streamers, sparklers, string and confetti spray. We invited all our camp aquiantances for the countdown (I suck at making friends on camp, so they are aquiantances) and it ended up to be the most fun new years ever. Fireworks weren't allowed in the campsite,  but we decided to use them anyway and run away when the security guards came.
If it wasn't for me complaining about how boring new years always is, we probably would of spent it sleeping in our tents, how fun.
This shows how speaking up can actually make a difference. It doesn't matter where you are or who you are with on New Years, but a little fireworks, streamers, and string spray can mentally increase your self-esteem so you won't be jealous of all those other teenagers actually having a great time on New Years eve.
2013? That was a perfect year ♥It never passed by too fast, nor too slow. I achieved many things during the year,  not only in schoolwork. I've made new friends, bonded with my old ones. Made it on to the exec and became best friends with 5 amazing people. I received my ID that looks like crap :) yeah, thats 2013 for ya. 
As for camp, yeah, it was chilled.
I had the opportunity to use my waterproof camera again, and suprisingly the photos actually came out pretty cool :) the sea water was amazingly crystal clear,  yes, I took underwater photos in the seawater!!! Ahh!!! K.

Happy 46th Birthday Norman Henshilwood

May the odds be ever in your favour... Every year I'm excited for our schools birthday, there's always exciting things happening the whole week!!! This week was also literature week, so there were many things literaturical happening. On Friday, we could dress up as any character from a novel. Last year we could dress up as anything so there was more of a variety to choose from. But it was strict rules that it had to be a book character. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a book worm. The only books I've read was the Hunger Games series. The Hunger Games is my favorite book this far in life, so I've decided to come as Katniss, the main character of the story. I came to school dressed as Tinkerbell, but my friend, that was Peeta (another character from hunger games) with me, brought wet suits so we can change at school. How ironic going from a fairy to a warrior type of girl on fire. I borrowed a bow and arrow from my friend, and if I do say so myself, we look...

Tell It Like It Is | Side Chicks

Side Chicks are totally bad and can ruin your relationship. But, guys, we know you most of you want one. I'm not giving any scientific facts, I'm simply just stating what we were all thinking anyway. Nobody wants to be someone's side chick, am I right? If you think of it, it's not all bad being a side chick (I'm not saying this from experience). I know, who would ever think that being a side chick is actually great? But, seriously, just take the time to think of it. You get the main chick and the side chick. The main chick is the actual girlfriend that everyone knows about and your Instagram selfie buddy with the hashtag #InstaCouple. But then you get the side chick. Not everyone knows about her, probably not even your main chick. But your side chick knows she's your side chick. Okay, so I'm guessing that didn't really convince you that being a side chick is better than the main chick, its probably not. But it has its perks. Metaphorical example: Le...

I've BEEN wanting to wear this coat and pants for the longest time. I took the opportunity when I travelled to Johannesburg ( #CozyInJozi ) recently to build an outfit around these 2 pieces.  Firstly, this coat: SO COMFY. I wore it on the airplane and it felt like a blanket/gown. I feel like it elevates any outfit and it's such an essential piece. It's not the warmest coat ever, it's pretty thin, but I don't mind as it allows me to layer underneath and it gives a more relaxed oversized fit. Okay, the pants. I've been eyeing these at Cotton On ever since it released. The fit of it is amazing and I love the slits at the bottom. I always have this problem when I wear flare pants that You can't see my shoes because my feet are so small. This is a game changer for me and I'll definitely be wearing it more. Especially when summer comes.   Coat-  Cotton On Pants -  Cotton On Fitted Polo Neck -  Mr Price Shades -  Cotton On Boots - Doc Martens ( That Shoe Lady )...
