Washington DC

My friend Buhle and I went sightseeing in Washington DC. Don't ask me why we planned to go at night but we did :( . Most people said we wouldn't accomplish much if we go sightseeing at night but we DID. It's actually so peaceful touring at night,however I do think I want to go back to Washington DC during the day.

We saw THE WHITE HOUSE: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC. The White House is the oldest public building in Washington, DC and has been the home of every president except George Washington.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT:Constitution Ave. and 15th St. SW Washington, DC. The memorial to George Washington, our nation's first president, is the most prominent landmark in Washington, DC and stands as the centerpiece of the National Mall. It is the tallest structure in Washington, DC and measures 555 feet 5 1/8 inches high

My favourite stop was LINCOLN MEMORIAL: 23rd St. NW, Washington, DC. The memorial is one of Washington, DC's top attractions and occupies a prominent space on the National Mall. It is a tribute to President Abraham Lincoln, who fought to preserve our nation during the Civil War, from 1861-1865. The Lincoln Memorial has been the site of many famous speeches and events since its dedication in 1922.

My other favourite was THE CAPITOL BUILDING which is absolutely beautifulllll!!
E. Capitol St. and First St. NW, Washington, DC. The U. S. Capitol Building is open to the public for guided tours only. Visitors learn about the work of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and the impressive architecture of the most recognizable historic buildings in Washington, DC

I went on to research all the sites we went on. Many thanks to www.dc.about.com/od/tourist attractions

76ers Game

Our last cluster meeting was to a 76ers game.

Cluster: group of Au Pairs who live around the same area. These Au Pairs have a counselor who becomes their "mother". She takes care of all their queries and organizes a meeting each month.

This cluster meeting was a family cluster meeting so I went with my brother Sir( I Au pair for him,but sometimes we are like siblings :D ).Here are a few pictures.

I absolutely enjoyed the dunk contest! Major FUN!!

Bikini Body before Miami

My friend Buhle and I have been planning a Miami trip for Spring Break(woooop). So far we have our accommodation and flights in order.

This evening I decided to try on my bikini just to keep up with my excitement, but that was a bad idea. I am really comfortable with my body and I am extremely lucky for it. However my stomach needs to be a bit toned so I decided to look at a few abs exercise programs.

Ps. Be proud of your body BUT keep it toned so that it doesn't sag a few years down the line.

Here are a few of my exercise finding and tips I thought I should share.

Yellow Mellow

I told myself that I won't shop for another month,all that changed when I saw these beautiful yellow wedge heels . I absolutely love them!

I am at the point where I don't know what to do with my hair so I am constantly wearing beanies hoodies etc :(. I dyed it a dark red in early January but now I am so over it. Any suggestions on what to do next with my hair? Except braids,I really am scared of braiding my hair(personal confession lol. Braids are really sore and I almost always cry when I get my hair braided. I think I braid once a year if not once every two years lol)

I love yellow outfits especially when my brother wears yellow,it bursts out an inner glow.

Today I am officially 20years old and 1month ;-).

Heels: Barefoot
Jersey: Mr Price
Black and white Jeans: H&M
Bag: Target(another recent purchase lol,I couldn't help it it was on sale )
Glasses: Local Thrift store
