8. I like hitting pavements with my car, but not on purpose. They jump in front of me I swear!

11. I am terrified of moths. haha when I see one I run.

My 11 Questions:

1. What made you start your blog?
Well, I actually got the idea from a friend of mine. She works on a cruise ship and said that people always wanted her to send them photo's of her times on board and that's when she decided to start the blog. Easy way for people to keep up with your life. And I thought it sounded like fun and started it! And now I'm hooked! Thanks Sandra!!!

2. Favourite Destination?
Hmmm tough one. I love Mauritius, the island life is just something completely different! And then I love the bush. I would go live there NOW!

In Mauritius

3. If you could do/be anything what would you do?
Be a helicopter pilot! No jokes. This has been a dream of mine ever since I was a young girl!

4. Favourite past time?
Spending time with Cedric in the bush. And family time. Those are priceless moments!

At Idube Game Lodge

5. What's your worst habbit?
Hahaha where do I begin? Apparently I frown while watching TV. I always hear "boo boo stop frowning" when we watch TV. Don't know where I got this habbit from. Maybe I should go check my eyes....

6. Cooking or baking, which do you prefer?
BAKINGGGGG!!! Hands down! I have a major sweet tooth.

7. A summer's day at the beach or a rainy day curled up on the couch?
Both, well depends in what mood I am in. But I love doing both.

8. Your most prized possession?
Cedric, my family and friends. My mother taught us not to get attached to actual possessions.

9. What is your proudest moment?
WOW, I can't think of a specific moment. I think every little thing I put my mind to and achieve is a proud moment to me.

10. Guilty Pleasure?
Tooo many! But definitely chocolates, Kardashians (I know horrible one), and being too obsessed with Cedric haha.

Chocolate covered strawberries

11. Ultimate pet peeve?
People that sit and sleep at a traffic light! I mean you know it's almost your time to go if the other light hits orange! Wake up people!
