  2. MAKING SEAFOOD PAELLA WITH @tiger.kretzmann … what a good guy! Go check out his journey on his page! Super inspiring! We had a great time!!! 🤣 check the cocktails I poured us • Thanks to @tightline_ for the premium seafood you sent. You guys always go hard!! Love it! • Thanks @oragaagave for the delicious tequila!! Took my blood orange, pomegranate and bay leaf tequila sunrises to the next level!!! • The socarrat, the crispy rice at the base, is the best part of paella. Mine is skilfully ‘caramelized’ 😉 • 🎥 @airrealviews #paella #spain #winning #socorrat

  3. Sunday roast beef, red wine and chicken stock jus, crispy potatoes and salsa verde!!!! • Is there anything better than a Sunday roast! I was so surprised by the results of the Neovide by The Space @souschefsa … Soft soft meat!! Sooooo bloody good! You can get one of these machines at @yuppiechef now. • It vacuum seals the meat inside the machine, no plastic bag needed, and it has a probe that gets inserted into the meat and cooks it until your desired temperature! Pretty cool! You literally can’t mess up! • #roastbeef #neovide #sousvidecooking #yummy

  1. BREATHE - ‘Tilansia Bergeri’ - a most spectacular air plant. I mean, can you believe that they do not grow in the earth, but in the air, nakedly draped all over the places they like best. The flowers are magnificently pink but here is a beauty that my sister gave me from her garden today and will flower when she feels like it. Pretty cosmic really… 🌞 #breathe #airplant #air #element #nature #grow #flowers #pink #cosmic #trip @airfrenchband

  2. FLOWER of ‘Monstera Deliciosa’. You can eat them. Who would have thought that there is such a naughty and enormous flower in the world? (Scale: If I cup it underneath in both hands, I am just able to hold it steady and straight). It grows beneath the huge shiny green leaves of the busty plant… we’ve all seen it before, The Delicious Monster. They don’t often flower if grown in the home, but they clean the air and detoxify your indoor environment. The flower is so heavy and called an ‘inflorescence’… how absolutely beautiful? The fleshy spike or ‘spadix’ is surrounded by a boat-shaped ‘spathe’… I love these words. The fruit, which one can eat are the ‘spadix’, but they are poisonous before they ripen, so do your homework on that. I have never eaten one but apparently they are so delicious it’s monstrous! In a kind of banana-mango-ey way - they are also nicknamed, the ‘Swiss cheese plant’. My brother-in-law is ripening a whole lot as they have about 30 in their garden. They can take up to 8 months to ripen… my goodness, I can’t wait to try it. #artprint #series #flower #delicious #monster #nature #grow #edibleflower #naughty #edibleplant #ripe #eat #capetown #artist #photography

  1. Oh, how beautiful this life is❤️ You may have been wondering why the absence - me & husband with the 3 girls ditched the city for the beautiful West Coast🏡🌊🌴 We've been here for 19 days & it still doesn't feel real💙 Moving during December is a solid 1/10 - do not recommend, but we made it, it took a village, I am ALMOST done with unpacking all the boxes, we are mostly settled & can not wait to get back into creating again🫶 Words can't really express how grateful I feel for this little life of mine, for everyone in it & for everything I have❤️ Here's to 2026 & everything it has in store for me!🥂

  2. This wasn’t just about a PS5. ❤️ It was about a boy who waited so patiently for something he had dreamed of for so long. He never complained or demanded, he simply waited, and when the day finally came, he cried tears of joy. Moments like these remind me that gratitude and patience are gifts that will take you far in life. I’ll always do everything I can to see my children smile, not because they need the biggest or best things, but because they deserve to know how deeply they are loved. This moment is one I’ll never forget. 🥹

  3. Some nights I save lives, and the next morning I’m back home saving moments. 🤍 Running on little sleep but a whole lot of love. Cooking meals, cleaning up, baking cookies with my babies, making memories, then putting my uniform back on and heading out again. This season of life is exhausting, beautiful, messy, and worth every second. To every mama out there doing it all tired… I see you. 🫶🏽✨ #MomLife #FamilyFirst #NurseLife #WorkingMom #SoftLifeHardWork
