Friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on....

Sorry I've been a bit quiet for the past two weeks - I have been home in Durban (South Africa) and in a state of complete relaxation...

I wanted to share some pictures that we had shot at my house and Umhlanga beach with my beautiful besties - i have known these girls since my teens and although we all live across the globe we are still so close. It was such a great day and included a 6-hour long champagne fuelled breakfast afterwards! Images taken by the very talented Fiona Clair - view her blog here and her Facebook page here

Going home always makes me reflect on life and yesterday I was listening to Baz Luhrmanns sunscreen lyrics (hence the title of this post) - here are some of my fave lines:

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts.
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Don't worry about the future, 

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life

Get to know your parents.
You never know when they'll be gone for good.

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get,
the more you need the people who knew you when you were young

Don't expect anyone else to support you

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll divorce at 40.

Maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either.
Your choices are half chance.
So are everybody else's.

Everybody's Free To Feel Good...

Back in business as of today! xxx
