Welcome to my blog. Here is just a little bit of
info about me so that you have some idea of who, what and where I am :)
My name
is Monique but my family calls me Nikki.
I recently did a Postgraduate
Degree in Education and am now a 5th grade teacher.
I also have my Honours in
Psychology. I hope to one day do my Masters in Psychology and become a child
psychologist.
I live with my amazing
boyfriend, Simon, in a great apartment overlooking Table Mountain, the sea and
beach.
We have a pet goldfish called
Glob.
I live in Cape Town, South
Africa. I absolutely love this city and it's vibe, and I urge everyone to visit
at some point in their lives.
I lived in the UK for two
years, mainly London and Maidenhead.
My hobbies/interests/loves
include running, cycling, swimming, spinning, glossy and trash mags, baking, playing
squash,boyfriend cuddles and snuggles, coffee, chocolate, salt
and vinegar crisps, sushi, Days
of our Lives, make-up.
I am a trained make-up artist.
I worked for a top make-up brand for a while, and now just do the occasional
friend's wedding.
I am obsessed with anything
vanilla.
I hate the smell of lavender.
I love smarties (the South
African ones, not the UK ones. Ours taste so much better!)
I have never had a nose-bleed
in life and I have never broken any bones.
I have riden the Argus, a 108km
cycle race in Cape Town, twice. Last year I did it on a tandem bicycle with the
boyfriend. This year I rode it by myself.
I have run two half-marathons,
and hope to do many more.
