My Second Home - Part 1

Hi Everyone! I'm so excited to be blogging about Umkomaas which is my second home. I've been staying here for two years and it certainly feels like home to me. The view from my flat is remarkable, I couldn't help but share it with you. Umkomaas is a small town, I didn't know about it till I had to move here because of my job. 

 There are a number of activities that one can partake in like shark cage diving, spa treatments and golf (I have these in my bucket list). The Aliwal Shoal is a huge tourist attraction with activities such as diving and fishing. Umkomaas river is the largest river on the South Coast, it's great for rafting, canoeing and boat riding. Umkomaas is home to the beautiful Empisini Nature Reserve. The forest has a number of bush walks and a stunning waterfall. There are cabins that one can rent out. 
There are guest houses and lodges if one is interested in paying us a visit. There are many restaurants with beautiful sea views where one can dine in.  

 I feel blessed to be staying in such a beautiful town. I'll have a detailed post up on my blog showing you places you can visit, look out for that!  

 Until next time!
XO Kanya





I took these images with my phone from my balcony.
 I took this one on my way home at 6 am. 


These two I took them from the brigde on the Umkomaas river mouth.

Travel Diaries - Cape Town

Image
Hello Loves! A week ago a friend and I went to Cape Town for the weekend. It was the first time for both of us. We stayed at the Lagoon Beach Hotel. I enjoyed my stay there and part of me wishes I had stayed longer.  View of Table Mountain from the hotel Cape Town is one of South Africa's capital cities and it is also known as the Motherland. It is a huge tourist attraction because of the Table mountain which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Robben Island, Cape of Good Hope and V&A Waterfront to name a few. Cape Town is quite a small city as we were able to navigate around Table Mountain in our small rental car.   On Top of Table Mountain It's a beautiful city situated next to the Atlantic Ocean. Growing up on the east side of the country I've always been exposed to the Indian Ocean which is pretty warm. We took a drive along Camps Bay and Hout Bay. I wasn't brave enough to swim because the water there is freezing cold and it was ver

New Year! New You?

Hi Loves! First things first, Happy 2017 to all my readers. I'd like to wish you guys all the best for 2017. It's the start of a new year and a lot of us are thinking of ways that we could improve our lives. I personally don't do New Years resolutions mainly because I feel under pressure and I never complete anything on that list. What I do is set one goal at a time and see if I can stick to it. When that one task is finished I move to the next one. Currently I'm focused on my health and well being. Lately I have been neglecting myself to the point where I had a hard time looking at myself in the mirror. My problem was not with the weight gain but not feeling pretty in my own skin. I've gone past that now... This year I'm hoping to stick to clean eating habits, pampering myself and loving myself. I also wish to focus less on weight loss and focus more on self acceptance. You do not need to be a certain weight or shape to slay. This year I am being my

Anti-Valentine

Image
Hello Lovely People Valentine's Day... A day where couples spoil each other with flowers; chocolate; lingerie etc etc. To me it's just like any other day. I hardly do anything special for anyone on Valentine's Day. This year was a lil different. I still didn't spoil my significant other but at least I didn't spend it in bed watching fitness videos on YouTube ;). I actually did something... I went to a Wedding. I kinda like the idea of having a wedding on Valentine's Day, it's sorta cheesy but I still think its pretty romantic. Every year on the 14th of February it would always be your anniversary and not about Saint Valentine. At this posh affair I wore a red off the shoulder dress. This is actually the first time in a very long time that I'm wearing red on Valentine's. I specifically chose this dress because I'm currently loving the off the shoulder trend. It's feminine and chic. Pardon me for the poor quality pictures.
