Hi! I’m Anne and this is my blog. I know that you are busy, so thank you for spending some of your time reading Breadsticks and Blush (B&B).

B&B combines two things I love – food (more specifically carbs) and taking care of myself aka looking good and feeling good. I don’t believe that happiness is measured by your dress size, but I do believe that if you are healthy and feel good, you look good.

 

“Happy girls are the prettiest” – Audrey Hepburn

What is one of your absolute favourite books? Th What is one of your absolute favourite books? The Lost Flowers of Alive Hart by Holly Ringland is in my current top 3 books of all time. I read it in 2019 and the story has stayed with me every since. After a tragic and traumatic event, Alice, a small child still, is sent to live with her grandmother that she's never met. Broken from all she's endured in her short life, her grandmother teaches her about the magical world of flowers, and the healing and peace they can bring. This book follows Alice on her life's journey, the ups the downs, the healing and the joy. The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart was gifted to me by @panmacmillansa. #booksofinstagram #bookstagramsouthafrica #bookstagrammer #bookworm #igbooks #whattoreadnext #favouritebooks #bookphotography
Kindness. Such a simple word, but sadly not much e Kindness. Such a simple word, but sadly not much evidence of it in the world right now. Here's your weekly reminder that every single person is going through a rough patch at the moment, including you. Be kind, even when you're feeling stressed, frustrated or angry. Think before speak. Please don't add to anyone else's burden or stress. Be the reason they feel a bit better in the moment, the reason for a laugh or a smile, a bit less stressed or just feeling heard or seen. Be the kindness in your world this week. It's free. #sundaymotivations #kindnessalways #bethekindnessintheworld #justbenice
Mark and I just entered the Sanlam Moola Money Gam Mark and I just entered the Sanlam Moola Money Game show on etv and this is our video entry for the show. 🤣 It took forever cos we kept making funny faces. Also, we’re apart right now, so using good ol’ Zoom to make the video. If you want to win R50 000 or R500 000 in the grand finale, enter your 1-minute video at the link in bio. Closing date is today. #sanlammoolamoney #gameshow #win #spon
It's #thrillerthursday and if you haven't read Int It's #thrillerthursday and if you haven't read Into the Water by Paula Hawkins yet, you might want to get a copy. A single mother and a teenage girl (unrelated) turns up dead at the bottom of a town's local river in the span of a couple of months. Turns out that they weren't the first women to meet their death at that river. These deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up all kinds of past secrets. It was an enjoyable and captivating read filled with interesting characters. Are you reading any good thrillers at the moment? #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofig📚📚📚 #intothewaterbook #bibliophiles #booknerd #bookrecommendation #thrillerbooks #sabookstagrammers #instareads #mybookfeatures #bookwormlife📚🐛
Timing is everything, but unfortunately there's no Timing is everything, but unfortunately there's not a big flashing sign telling you when the right time is. Hence the old adage "there's no time like the present". If you've been waiting for a sign to make a change in your life, this is it. Be brave, take that step. While you do this, resist the urge to compare yourself to others, even to your peers. Everyone has their own rythm and go at their own pace. Don't get down if you feel you're falling behind. You're not. Just keep going and take steps to achieve what you set out to. #bebravebebold #timingiseverything⌚️ #goforyourgoals #motivationsunday💯
It's almost the weekend and it's Valentine's Day n It's almost the weekend and it's Valentine's Day next week. Why not sink into a drama with a hint of romance? You, Me, Everything by Catherine Isaac is set in Manchester, England and the idyllic French country side; and tells the story of Jess and her teenage son's summer holiday. Jess has no interest in mending ways with Adam, her son's father. Yet, she agrees to spend the summer at Château de Roussignol, Adam’s pride and joy, steeped in the hills of the Dordogne, thanks to her mother. If it wasn’t for her mom being sick with Huntington’s disease, Jess would never have agreed. She is forced to think about the role absent father, Adam should play in her son’s life, while she's confronted by dark thoughts and secrets during the 5 week holiday. To make the holiday a bit easier, she invites some friends along. With the beautiful French countryside as a backdrop, the holiday has unexpected outcomes for everyone.
