WEEKLY WISHES

1. My main focus this week is on growing #ShadowTheJindo's Facebook page. Yes, that means my dog now has a Facebook page. I'm sure many, many, many of my friends are rolling their eyes right now but I'm okay with that. I want to use the page to help create awareness of the Jindo breed and hopefully help more abandoned pups find their 'fur'ever homes. I know that there are so many dogs needing homes all over the world, but as I'm currently in Korea, this is where my focus will be. If you'd like to find out more and follow Shadows adventures then please click here. 

2. I did a semi-styled shoot with a new friend Alysha this weekend and I want to finish editing the photographs and start posting them. It's cherry blossom season here in Korea and so we took full advantage of the gorgeous blooms and had a wonderful time together. Alysha blogs over at The Wayfaring Heath, a blog aimed at wholesome & natural living where she posts wonderful recipes as well as easy to do DIY's for the home. Here latest post is all about how to freeze fresh herbs, something I'm constantly having to do here in Korea as herbs are so hard to come by! I'm looking forward to sharing the rest of these photographs with you!

3. Lastly Farmboy and I are busy planning our summer holiday trip to Borneo! As excited as I am about the trip, it's becoming a bit of a logistical nightmare and AirAsia is being such a pain with their credit card security systems. They do have an amazing app which offers really awesome discounts when using it, but it just won't take my money! This is one of the downsides of living in a country where you can't speak the local language, trying to communicate with my bank here to ask how to solve the above issues is nearly impossible. Anyway, I'm hoping to have it sorted out this week before the price of flights go up! In the mean time I'm looking at my photographs of our trip to the Perhentian Islands in Malaysia to help me stay sane while AirAsia gives me grey hairs.

That's all I have for this week. Do you have anything you really need to get done this week? Drop me a comment below, I'd love to hear from you.

Have a wonderful week everyone <3

Spring is finally here in South Korea and I couldn't be happier! The blossoms here are of my favourite things about living here, even though they don't last very long. So every chance I get I have been outside with my camera trying to find new ways to capture them. Do you get blossoms where you are in the world? Back home in South Africa we do get pretty blossoms, but nothing like the fruit trees here in Korea. Spring will be one of the things I miss most when we do decide to head back home, that's for sure. A change in seasons (much the same as Monday, the start of a new week) is always a good time to set some new goals and I'd love to hear yours too!

Weekly Wishes

1. Continue with the lead training my husband and I have been doing for our pup. Yesterday was the first time I have tried using hotdogs and boy oh boy was he a good pup. I'm hoping the sausages work, and that I am able to wean him off them too so he learns to walk just as nicely without the treats as with them! 

2. Film a new Youtube video. I was recently tagged in a Youtube Challenge by Amy from the VDBees and I have been terrible at making it happen. I did film another video last week (yes, that is me sitting in a pink bathtub!) and so this week I want to film my challenge video.

3. It's also strawberry season here in Korea and I need to find some good recipes of things to make with them. I tried making strawberry fruit roll ups yesterday (they were a complete disaster!) and next up I have ideas for a cheesecake (Banting friendly of course!) so we shall see if that materializes. If you follow me on Instagram (@roxyhutton) you would have seen that I did make an incredible Banting cheesecake last week, so I am hoping to use the same recipe with my strawberries. I will post it here on the blog if it is a success!  Do you have any other ideas for what I can make with hundreds of strawberries???

4. SEE MORE BLOSSOMS! Rain is forcast for the entire week starting tomorow, so I hope it lets off for a few hours one afternoons so I can capture some of the cherry blossoms in my area.

That's all I have for this week. Do you have anything you really need to get done this week? Drop me a comment below, I'd love to hear from you.

It's March, and even though the above image shows maple leaves (it is the start of Autumn for my friends who made this lovely graphic over at TJ Stationery & Gifts) Spring will be on it's way for us here in South Korea. It's been a very cold winter, with lots and lots of snow and I for one am really looking forward to the cherry blossoms and short sleeves that follow Winter. It's always a good time to set new goals for the week, and I'd love to hear yours too!

This Weeks Wishes

1. Wake up at 6am every morning this week and take my Korean pup out for a long walk. We have been doing a lot of training with him, but something he is really rather terrible at is leash walking. I'm hoping that one solid week of walking the same route will put him in a good routine and that he will learn to walk nicely with me, instead of dragging me down the street. 

2. Drink more water. This is a goal Is et every week, and one I think can only be good for my body!

3. Cut out the late evening snacking! I have gotten into a very nasty habit of craving something sweet right after dinner. When there's nothing in the house then I can usually satisfy my craving with some tea, but there have been a few things hiding in the far corners of the grocery cupboard and I have sniffed them out and devoured them. MUST SAY NO TO CHOCOLATE!

4. Find more direction with my Youtube channel. I am in the process of buying a new video camera to take my videos to the next level, but I have been lacking the inspiration for new content lately. So far I've done a few makeup reviews and DIY's, is there anything you'd particularly like to see? I need to sit down and brainstorm some new fun video topics!

That's all I have for this week. Do you have anything you really need to get done this week? Drop me a comment below, I'd love to hear from you.

2. Finalise everything our pup needs for his stay with friends. We are heading home to South Africa for 3 weeks and have wonderful friends who have offered to look after Shadow while we are away. I just need to make sure we have packed everything he needs.

3. Get pup to the vet so we can hopefully remove his cone. He was netured last week and has had to wear this thing ever since. Poor guy:

I am happy to say that I completed all my goals for last week and am ready to tick the following ones off my To Do list! There is always something that I don't manage to do in this series, but last week was a rather productive one and I am ready to do the same for this week.

THIS WEEK'S WISHES

1. Publish my very first Youtube video! This has been long in the pipeline, but there has always been some excuse I have found not to get it done. I wrapped up filming this past weekend, and thanks the my hubby's incredible movie editing skills my video is just about ready to go live! Now I just have to stop worrying about what everyone will think when they see it!

2. Post off the recent orders I have from my stationery store. I've got packages going to Belgium and packages off to the US! Packing up orders is one of my most favourite things to do...here is a little peak of some of the new items I have in stock. Click here to see the rest of the items (I have calendars, notebooks, washi tape and lots lots more).

3. Do lots of research into our possible trip to Russia in February. I think the visa process for South Africans is a little complicated so I want to get the ball rolling and find out if we will be ale to get it sorted out in time.

4. Finalise Christmas presents for our family for our trip back home so South Africa at the end of this month. We have been away from home for a year and a half and are so excited to see everyone again. We have 3 weeks in sunny South Africa (although I can't really bear the thought of being away from our little pup for that long). 

That's all I have for this week. Do you have anything you really need to get done this week? Drop me a comment below, I'd love to hear from you.

It's been a little while since I posted my weekly wishes here on the blog. As usual life has a funny way of sneaking up on you and suddenly it's the last month of the year and you're left wondering where the year went. 

This week's wishes

1. Drink more water. Winter has arrived with full force and making sure I'm drinking enough water has been hard. It's so cold that drinking water from the tap just seems like torture. I have been pretty bad with only drinking tea during the day, until I read this article and saw the before & after photographs of a woman who started drinking 3 liters of water a day and the results she had in one month. Pretty amazing! 

2. Post my latest beauty review of Klairs products from Wishtrend.

3. Post a recipe for homemade chia spice that I made especially for hot chocolate this past weekend.

4. Update my stationery store with the new notebooks I found this weekend.

That's all I have for this week. Do you have anything you really need to get done this week? Drop me a comment below, I'd love to hear from you.

THIS WEEKS WISHES

1. Get back into my early morning exercise routine. That includes a 30 - 40 minute Blogilates session (using the app workout calendar which I have downloaded onto my phone. Simply download the app, buy the calendar for 99c and then go through each video posted for that day). Then a 30 minute yoga session (I have really been enjoying the website DoYogaWithMe which has loads of different videos to choose from, from 15 minute quick pick me up sessions, to 90 minute strength classes, all free to stream online).

2. Start planning for the upcoming festivals that will be happening here in Korea. I need to choose which festivals I want to see, and then start marking them down in my diary before the weekends all fill up with other activities.

3. Post my new giveaway with TJ Stationery.

4. Get organising the latest #DIYDaysInKorea meet-up which will be next month! Click here to find out more or join our Facebook group to be part of the next one.

THIS WEEKS WISHES

Today marks the first official day of the second semester at my school (I teach English at an all girls middle school here in South Korea).

Farmboy and I just got back from a wonderful trip to Bali for our summer holiday and now it's time to get back into some sort of routine again. So here are my goals for the week ahead:

1. Get back into the habit of drinking more water (at least 2 litres a day)

2. Put my Fitbit back on and commit to walking 10 000 steps a day for the next 5 days (you would be surprised just how difficult it actually is to walk 10 000 a steps a day. I thought I was a pretty active person, but 10 000 steps is a lot further than you'd think. Full review of my Fitbit to come soon).

3. Get prepared for the fundraisers a group of us here in my province are putting together to raise money for outreach projects that help those who have been affected by human trafficking. To find out more about what you can do to help, have a look at this wonderful organisation The Exodus Road, a nonprofit coalition that empowers freedom from sex slavery through covert investigation and rescue.

THIS WEEKS WISHES

I have only one for this week. I wish my Grandpa would get better soon. He had a stroke recently and isn't doing very well. It's so hard being on the other side of the world when family members are sick. Gramps, take it easy and don't eat too many rusks, actually, you can have as many rusks as you like, I'll tell Gran.

This Weeks Wishes

1. REMOVE MY PHONE FROM THE BEDROOM AT NIGHT! Yes, this is still on my weekly wish list as I constantly need to be reminded to do it. I spend so much time on social media, that I often need to physically force myself back into the real world and just unplug. Do you have this problem too?

2. Publish my giveaway post. As this is my birthday month, I am celebrating by giving all my readers a chance of winning a goodie bag of pretty things from here in South Korea...think beauty products, cute little socks, washi tape, stickers and lots more!

3. Walk at least 10 000 steps a day with my new FitBit that Farmboy gave me for my birthday yesterday (full blog post to come soon).

Last week's wishes were pretty much accomplished (although I STILL haven't been very good about removing my phone from the bedroom at night). I am going to keep on putting this wish down until I finally get my act together and make this change. I also decided not to join another yoga challenge (as I found I was far less focused on the actual yoga poses and more focused on getting the right photograph to post on Instagram, truth be told). So I am going to be telling you a little bit more about another fitness/pilates/yoga guru I have been following and working out with. I booked our cooking course for Bali (my mom is meeting us in Bali for our summer holidays...I am so excited to see her, it has been over a year since we have seen any family!). I also got stuck in with my camp planning and have been doing lots of research into practical ways of helping to end the way against Human Trafficking, by following along closely with the amazing work that goes on at The Exodus Road. 

This Weeks Wishes

1. Continue my research into human trafficking, with the objective of finding practical ways that we can make an actual difference in the lives of those affected by it. 

2. Finalise a new giveaway for the blog (this one is going to be a goodie, you don't want to miss out!).

3. Photograph the new stock I have in my Stationery Store, including putting together a few new smaller sized packages of pretty washi tapes and notebooks.

4. Finish at least 5 out of the 7 workouts scheduled for this week in the Blogilates July Workout Calendar. I have been following Jillian Michaels 3 day shred workouts for the past 9 months, and by now I can officially say I am bored out of my mind. So I downloaded the Blogilates app which is free, and then paid the $1.99 fee for the July calendar and have been loving the workouts! Each day there is a list of video workouts, ranging from 5 - 17 minutes, that are only unlocked on the day you start the challenge. It's still early in the month, and not too late for you to sign up, even if you aren't getting the full 31 days out of your $1.99. It's so worth it! Casey is a spunky and inspiring young lady (but she does talk the WHOLE way through her videos and some of you might find her constant sprouting of rainbows and pixie dust a little annoying. I don't, and I find the more she talks the less I actually concentrate on just how HARD the workouts are). There is no risk of getting bored as each of the workout videos (there are usually 4 - 7 per day) are different and focus on different parts of the body. And I cannot even explain to you just how stiff I am every morning. Even after doing Jillian for 9 months. It works!

On the app and on the website Cassey has free monthly workout calendars and eating plans, as well as forums for you to join and get inspired by reading the stories from the community of women who have seen amazing results. I like prefer the app because all the videos are in one place, you simply click on the next one in the list, do the workout, tick the box when you're done and open up the next video, all on the same 'screen/window' on the iPhone. It's super easy to follow and helps me when I really lazy, which is most days. She has workouts for everyday of the week, but one day is a stretch day where she combines pilates moves with elements of yoga to give your body a well deserved break, while still working on our flexibility and posture.

Let me know if you try Blogilates, I'd love to know your thoughts!

5. REMOVE MY PHONE FROM THE BEDROOM AT NIGHT!

For the most part, I was able to fulfil my wishes from last week. I made a most delicious cheesecake (recipe to follow soon...and no oven is needed if you use store bought cookies for the base, I made my own cookies to use as the base). I completed my English Camp plan for the summer vacation and I am about to finish the 30 day yoga challenge, yipee! I haven't been so good about keeping my phone in the other room while I sleep, mainly (here comes all the excuses!) I have the charger next to my bed and so plug it in as soon as I go to bed. I'm going to move that charger when I get home today. I also did manage to make a donation to Precious Women Ministry in Cambodia for the work they do in helping women who are and have been involved in human trafficking. Putting this last wish here on the blog really did help me get this done, as I felt accountable putting it in writing. 

This Week's Wishes

1. Raise awareness for The Exodus Road, an organisation that is fighting to end child slavery. You might be wondering why all of a sudden I have been posting more about human trafficking, click here to read why. One of the things the Exodus Road does is to do fund search and rescue as well as investigative operations in the heart of the red light districts in cities all around South East Asia. It costs $35 a night to fund an investigation team (this money goes towards paying the girls for their 'time' literally, in the form of a drink while the team is able to ask questions and get valuable information needed to help these girls). If you would like to donate, click here to read more about the teams and what they do. You can donate via paypal or credit card. You may not be able to physically go and rescue children trapped in brothels, but you can send investigators to break down doors on your behalf. You can hire a mercenary of hope to look for victims of sexual slavery, to gather tips for police partners, and to begin collecting key evidence for rescue. As a thank you for your donation you will get a welcome packet in the mail from The Exodus Road with information about your team, a bumper sticker with “Rescue is Coming,” and some other small gifts and information. You’ll also receive regular updates from your field team about their efforts and will be given specific ways to connect with them via letters or special projects. The Exodus Road

2. Start my lesson planning for the Photography English Camp I am teaching in July

3. Book a cooking course for our trip to Bali in August (my mom is coming out from South Africa to join us in Bali! I can't wait to see her!).

4. Remove my phone from the bedroom, charger and all.

5. Join another yoga challenge for July.

Last week I didn't do very well with putting my phone in the lounge when I went to bed, but I am going to FORCE myself to do this from today. I need to get into a routine with it, and having it outside the bedroom forces me to get up when my alarm goes off or risk going crazy at the annoying buzz that I currently have set. I have upped my water intake (I keep a 1 liter water bottle on my desk and force myself to fill it up 3 times a day). I did get to bed earlier 3 nights of last week, so that's a small start. I will see if it helps me stay awake during this week. I am still on track with my yoga challenge too. I have yet to finish my English camp planning and will get my basic plan done this week as it has to be handed in by Friday. Hmmm...not too bad for my first week of goals.

This week's wishes

1. Make the most epic cheesecake for hubby's birthday on Tuesday (and not let it be a complete disaster like the last attempt).

2. Remove phone from the bedroom EVERYNIGHT.

3. Finish English Camp plan

4. Continue with the 30 Day #summersplits2014 yoga challenge (and make sure to have had a cardio workout of either a hard 1 hour power walk or a session of Jillian Michaels before the yoga).

5. Make a donation to the Precious Women Ministry  which is fighting to end the war against human trafficking and exploitation in Cambodia (this might seem an odd thing to include here but I have procrastinating with this donation because of the difficulties in sending money to Cambodia from South Korea. I am writing it down here to remind myself to get my A into G and get to the bank to sort it out before it gets put to the bottom of the pile of things to do). 

Have a wonderful week everyone <3

Weekly Wishes

I have seen these kind of posts on a few of the international blogs that I follow. In a nutshell, they are all about your goals and wishes for the week ahead. What you want to achieve, and what you hope to get out of your week. Popping them here on the blog will hopefully help me to stay on track with the things I want to do or get done. I get rather distracted (if you could just have a quick peep into the drafts section on my website...half written posts hiding away, left forgotten, or simply discarded after I got bored or changed my mind with the topic). Nadia does a wonderful 'Meet Free Monday' post on her blog every Monday...perhaps I can convince her to join in this community with her posts.

Today I am linking up with The Nectar Collective where Melissa has a wonderful community of women who link up their weekly wishes and are there to support and encourage one another.

It's Monday, and the perfect day to share my wishes for the upcoming week. If you'd like to join in simply click here (and then click on the comments section of the top post) and link up your blog post. Melissa has some guidelines for you to follow, and to give you more of an idea of what's what with these posts.

Have a wonderful week everyone <3

Weekly Wishes 

1. Go to sleep earlier (I have been so tired over the last few weeks, and before I take the vitamin/blood test route I am going to give the 'more sleep' way a try first). I wake up naturally beore my alarm every morning at 05h15 so I can get some exercise in for the day. Then my day begins at 08h00 and I am home by 16h45. Three evenings a week Farmboy and I have night classes at 18h00and we only get home after 20h00. We still have to eat supper and then I have to do all the little things around the house I usually do when I'm free in the afternoons. So I have been going to bed later and later, and this is probably the culprit for my mid morning slumps. It's usually around 11am that I start nodding off at my desk, and only gets worse after lunch. Hoping that a few extra zzzz's will do the trick.

2. Remove my iPhone from my bedroom. I have a terribly habit of checking my phone ALL the time. It's the first thing I do when I wake up. I have read some studies that say the blu LED light from cell phones can cause disruptions in your sleep cycle, so I hope that by keeping my phone in another room while I sleep will help me sleep better, and help me get the balance right between social media and just enjoying real life.

3. Finish my 30 day yoga challenge (if you want to join in simply search for the #summersplits2014) and pop on over to my feed and say hello (@roxyhutton)

4. Drink more water

5. Finish my English Camp planning (I'm hoping to do a photography based English camp for my middle school girl this summer...they can already take the perfect selfie, so let's see if they can so the same with different subjects and themes).

What are some of the things you're hoping to get done this week?
