I'm still alive

I don't even know where to begin justifying my long absence. To be honest, I have no solid reason for my sudden and unannounced absence in the blogosphere. What  I do know for sure though is that I miss this place. A lot happened since I last posted. I changed jobs, went through a breakup and plenty more in between. As I said, I miss it out here. I am going to try posting regularly again, to be sane again.

Here's a few snaps from the weekend. I went to the beach with my sister and a friend. Well I must admit that during my sabbatical on the blogosphere I did pick a healthy amount of body confidence, lol. I wore a two piece bikini to the beach. no cover up, just my chunky chocolate self :)

OOTD: 20/02/2013

Hope everyone's having a good day. Mine is so-so, but I just smile and wave. Woke up to a very gloomy day, just cloudy and glum. I guess it goes with the mood in South Africa right now. A lot of people are reeling from shock from the Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorious tragedy. There's debate about it all over social networks, and it's splashed in all newspapers. If you don't know the story, Pistorious is a double amputee, who defied the odds and became a paralympic gold medalist. The late Reeva Steenkamp was a model and law graduate. The two were an item. Reeva was found dead at Oscar's house on Valentine's day and Oscar has been charged for the murder. For more information on the story go to my work website, AlgoaFM news. Yes most of us don't know them personally, but it's really sad that two, beautiful, talented young people have fallen so had. All we can do is wait for justice to prevail. RIP to Reeva.

Didn't mean to make you feel blue, but the journalist in me just wouldn't shut up.

New Name

Yes it's still me, Small Town Girl. I've just changed the name of my blog, I felt like "small town art East London" was just too limiting. I have plans to move to another city someday , so I needed something less limiting. I will be putting up my new logo and layout soon! XoXo.
