Bungeeeeeee Baby
BUNGY JUMPING with my one and only ♥
To some it up: "Crazy, mad, insane, HIGH ON LIFE, Something to tell the children and grandchildren one day ;) kinda thing"
How I did it:
I had always wanted to bungy - It was the first thing on my "bucket list" of all the things I want to do before i die. Being such a huge experience the one person i wanted to share and overcome my fear with was my boyfriend, Jay, so I convinced him we should go together! Being as anxious as we both were we somehow we managed to pluck up the courage - it was a wake up and realize "you only live once" scenario. He decided that he'd take me as my birthday gift. It was great that way - going for a particular reason - celebrating something! I reasearched bungy jumping in our area and true as bob Bloukrans, our closest bungy site turned out to be the Highest Bungy Jump in the world - 216m above Storms River, South Africa.

Lessons & tips:
Dont over think it - JUST DO IT!
You will be so proud of yourself for doing it, overcoming fears, being extreme and adventurous and able to say "I did it - I've bungy jumped... I've bungy jumped the highest bungy jump in the world!"
Take someone special / go for a special occasion / get a group of friends and family and tick off BUNGY JUMPING from your bucket list!
And you HAVE to get photographs and the dvd - You cant even put a price on it!

How to organize a fundraiser for charity
"Most rewarding blessed accomplished and happiest expereince ever! I cannot wait to organise my next one!"
How I did it: My 20th birthday wish last year was to hand over to AURORA Centre for mentally and physically disabled adults and children, a cheque of funds raised from tickets sales and donations. With my love of fashion came the idea of a fashion show fundraiser. I requested friends, family and advertised that everyone purchase tickets to support my chosen charity, celebrate my birthday with me, and make it a time of giving instead of getting!
The fashion Show showcased clothing from 3 boutiques / stores as well as garments designed by two Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University 3rd year fashion student designers. Amongst the models were 2 Miss Port Elizabeth finalists.
I listed all the things that would go into making a successful fashion show and started organising from the top to the bottom of my list. I contacted models to model for free in the show, contacted locations and set up meetings with the owners and had a superb club location given to use to use for the evening, and I had everything else donated, from the ramp to the DJ, to the clothing. When you organise something for charity everyone opens their hearts. Not only was it an event to remember and a smashing success regards to funds raised, but I had so much fun organising it and met so many new and interesting people!
Lessons & tips: Combine your love of something with your fundraiser and it is sure to be an exciting, passionate and rewarding event.
Get friends and family involved. Advertise in you local classifieds, fee online classifieds, you local radio stations classifieds, and submit a letter to your local newspaper stating the fundraiser you’re organising for whom, and why and they'll be sure to write up an article and publish it!
Resources: Search the net for ideas relating to the fundraiser you're organising to ensure you have the perfect checklist in both the organising phase as well as the smooth running on the actual day of the event.
It took me 3 weeks.

The meaning of friendship ♥
True friendship is perhaps the only relation that survives the trials and tribulations of time and remains unconditional. A unique blend of affection, loyalty, love, respect, trust and loads of fun is perhaps what describes the true meaning of friendship. Similar interests, mutual respect and strong attachment with each other are what friends share between each other. These are just the general traits of a friendship. To experience what friendship is, one must have true friends, who are indeed rare treasure.
Friendship is a feeling of comfort and emotional safety with a person. It is when you do not have to weigh your thoughts and measure words. It is when someone knows you better than yourself and assures to be your side in every emotional crisis. It is when you can sleep fighting and get another morning with a better understanding. Friendship is much beyond roaming together and sharing good moments, it is when someone comes to rescue you from the worst phase of life. Friendship is eternal.
Im so grateful for true friends, and that I have a best friend as well as a partner.
