Hi there! I'm Christina, and this is my blog. So glad that you're here! I live in a pretty little city by the sea called Port Elizabeth in South Africa and these are my stories about all the things that I love, music, food and LIFE in general. I hope you enjoy my posts just as much as I did making them! I love to chat, so always feel free and more than welcome to drop a comment!
Love and light,

Cape Saint Francis.
Helloooo beautiful people!
I thought I’d do a little travel post today.
When it comes to picking where to live, or where to vacation, I would much rather be in a place that is by the sea. I feel like I subconsciously start to slip into a state of mental disarray when I’m away from the ocean for too long. There’s no denying the restorative power of ocean air, and the calm the sight of the sea alone, brings.
We spent some time down in Cape St Francis during the December/January holidays. It’s not too far out from Port Elizabeth (about an hour and a half’s worth of driving, away).
Cape St Francis is a lovely little place I’d describe as the more rugged version of St Francis Bay. A quick Google search will tell you that it’s a seaside village famous for its waves. I’m no surfer but judging by the number of people that were out in the water on their boards whenever we’re there, I’m thinking the place definitely lives up to its reputation.
Have a listen.
I cannot beliieeevee it’s been three years since I did one of these posts! Looks like I’ve got a bit of catching up to do. If you’re new here, I like to put together compilations of the music I listen to, and share my thoughts about how I found the songs or why I like them so much.
So without further ado, here’s today’s ‘Have A Listen’ post… Continue reading “Have a listen.”
A fresh start.
Vulnerability & Visual Storytelling: A Conversation with Nicole Honeywill.
I remember first discovering Nicole Honeywill’s page on Instagram and being completely floored by how beautiful, and how well curated her page was. I was even more surprised when I found out that she wasn’t even an influencer from somewhere far away like the UK or the USA, but a South African girl living right here in the Eastern Cape.

Knysna.
Local travel is the best. South Africa is home to a lot of stunning, seaside gems, and Knysna is one of them. This beautiful town in the Western Cape is where we spent the weekend, 2 months ago when the mid-semester break offered us a chance to have a bit of freedom from university work.

Kindred Kitchen.
“If you don’t eat meat, then what do you actually eat?”
If you’re vegan or vegetarian, then you’ve probably heard at least a dozen variations of this question directed at you. The amount of skepticism shown almost always sent me into defense mode, but what I’ve come to learn is that the reason why people ask is because they genuinely want to know.
