Summer is here! Thank you Eleanor from Just Ella Bella for tagging me. You can read her list here.
Another way we know it is summer is the hectic storms here in Joburg. On Saturday night we had a hail storm and our carport collapsed.
1. What is your favourite thing about Summer?
Getting to see family. The last time we went down to the coast Nicky was just six months old. I also like swimming.
2. Do you have a favourite Summer drink?
I like lemonade, or Sprite. Trying to be good about sugar though, so at the moment I am drinking Lamberti’s juice which is suitable for diabetics. One the moms in my mom’s group is part of that family and she introduced me to it. Tastes good and good for you! I started out with the guava one but now I’m drinking the orange. I’m sure the other one with mango, litchi and apple will be interesting. You can get it at Pick n Pay.
3. Is there a location you like to go to each Summer?
We love to go visit our family in Port Elizabeth (me) and East London (B).
4. Favourite make-up look for Summer?
Um, I don’t really wear make up. I do use a moisturizer with sunscreen though.
5. Dresses or skirts?
Denim pants from Pick n Pay.
I have some faithful denim shorts (from Pick n Pay) I like to wear (since chasing a toddler around the garden is heavy duty) but I also like to wear skirts. I particularly like this blue flowery one because it doesn’t crease and it looks good. Plus it’s comfy!
6. Sandals or ballet pumps?
Both.
My comfy pumps from Woolworths are well worn and well made. The only thing about them is that the back straps keep coming off so I kind of slop around in them.
I also have some old summer beach sandals from the PE beachfront markets. Sentimental value but they are super comfy too.
I also like my wedges. Make me feel taller.
Then I have some pumps from a cheap Chinese store but what’s nice about them is the sole is non slip.
7. Do you prefer to wear your hair up or down for Summer?
My hair is short now. 🙂
8. Deep smoky eyes or bold lips?
Um, not really a make up person, remember…
9. Favourite perfume for Summer?
Huh? Don’t do that either.
10. Last but not least, favourite music for Summer
Well ever since Nicky broke my car radio I haven’t been listening…
I tag…
Karen from MomAgain@40
Laura from Harassed Mom
Shaney from You, Baby and I.
Is it possible to love and hate summer? I’m a bit of both… Hehe thanks for the tag!
I like the warmer weather, I’m a sun worshipper..
I saw all the hail pictures! Looked a bit scary actually!
Yes it was. Noisy!
Whew thank goodness we did not get the hail in Boksburg, my husband spend the day plastering outside walls and he was frantic that the rain would undo all his hard labour. I ran outside before the rain with broad tape and plastic bags trying to cover some of the areas where he had filled cracks. We were very grateful for no hail and not very much rain. Any other time, the rain would have been most welcome
Yes, you got lucky.
Thanks for the tag, Heather. I will do mine as well. 🙂
Love your list!
I finally put up my list! 😀
