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.

I got sent the best desk drop the other day. It wa I got sent the best desk drop the other day. It was Rugani apple juice. I know it doesn't sound very exciting, but the simple things in life make me happy...books, lipstick, apple juice etc. When I got home, I put the juice in the fridge to chill and had a box with my dinner. Guys, trust me when I say that not all juice are created equally. This is by far the best apple juice that I ever had and at the weekend my mom agreed. Turns out that there's a reason for that. a) It's 100% cloudy apple juice. No water, preservatives, sugar etc added. It's literally just apple juice. b) It's gluten and dairy free; and 100% vegan. c) It's a limited edition every year, because they only harvest these apples once a year, so there's just one batch per year. Harvested at sunrise and packed by sunset. You can actually taste the wholesomeness. Buy it at Food Lover's Market, Pick 'n Pay, Checkers or Spar by the end of March. I'm off to buy myself a couple of extra boxes, cos I'm craving it. #applejuice #cloudyapplejuice #ruganijuice #naturefirst #limitededitionjuice #health #gifted
We don't often post about each other on social med We don't often post about each other on social media, but I really love this picture of Mark and I. It beams of who we are as a couple...tired (life is busy) but happy, often silly, supportive and always there for each other...through thick and thin and sickness and in health and all that jazz. The truth is that every stumble is less of a hurdle and every celebration is better than you've ever dreamt when you're with the right person. So, for all of you who have lost hope in finding someone, it took me 35 years and it was worth the wait. Don't give up and please never ever settle for less. You're worth it, you are enough. Don't let anyone ever let you believe otherwise. Sorry, not sorry for the soppy post. 💜 #markandanne #relationshipgoals #nevergiveuponlove #lifepartners #life

My kingdom for tea and chocolate! Two of my vices My kingdom for tea and chocolate! Two of my vices and I am not planning on giving either up soon.

We grew these in our little garden! How gorgeous a We grew these in our little garden! How gorgeous are the vibrant colours of these peppers? I was never one for gardening, I never understood why my mom and gran loved it and spent hours tending to it. And then there was always the obligatory "let me show you my garden" whenever we visited family. It was my absolute worst and I tried my best to get out of that half an hour of boredom. The only thing I loved doing in the garden was catching and collecting snails, carrying them around in my pockets like little friends because I thought they were wonderful. I still do, BTW...not the carrying around but, but the thinking that they're wonderful bit. But now that I'm older (and some might say wiser), I realise why it's magical. Caring for the flowers, trees and veg is a privilege, it's soothing, maybe even meditative and watching things grow and bear fruit is fulfilling. Using the veg and herbs in our food somehow makes it taste better and you appreciate it much more. I love our little garden and it keeps bringing me so much joy. If only I knew this as a child! #gardensofinstagram #homegrownveggies #homegrownchillies

The blogging community gave me a sense of belonging when I moved to Johannesburg 10 years ago and I made the most amazing friends because of it and found my little place in this big city. . . . Us bloggers were like a little gang, in our own bubbles having a roaring time sipping on champagne, comparing goodie bags, befriending PR and brand people and click clacking away at our laptops to tell their stories through our eyes. Everyone in our little gang has gone on to do amazing things in their industries since and I'm proud to call a lot of them friends still. Blogging taught me many things including photography, it upped my writing game and I learned how to style one item of clothing a million ways for a million different events and occasions. . . . The only negative was that being constantly treated like a VIP can skew your expectations in the 'real world' from time to time. . . . #bloggingcommunity #bloggers #throwback🔙 #throwback2015 #community #bloggingfamily #nostalgia😍 #backinthedays
