5 For Change.

Before too much time passes, I wanted to once again thank &UNION, the V&A Waterfront, Yoga Life and Van Ryn's (more to come on an amazing experience I had at the distillery recently) for sponsoring some amazing prizes for the prize wall at 5 For Change last weekend. If you have no idea what 5 For Change is, see the post I wrote about it prior to the event.

How awesome! One month of unlimited yoga, a beer tasting at &UNION, a R1000 shopping voucher for the V&A and two bottles of Van Ryn's 12 year old.

The event was SO much fun that we forgot to take pictures so this is the only evidence we have that we were actually there. That is Camilla in the middle and Tamsin on the right. City Hall looked spectacular, everyone was dressed to the nines and a lot of money was raised for the charities being featured on the night.

The next morning I discovered a new kind of UDI - being stabbed in the eye with a make up brush. Worth having supermodel make up on the night for though, which was thanks to Camilla, who also writes for All Dolled Up.

I learnt that I have a high tolerance for champagne in the moment but will have to pay for it dearly the next day. When that wore off, I took it up a notch...

 Ribs, poppers and milkshakes from Hudson's in Greenpoint became the order of the afternoon, followed by an epic nap.

FUN TIMES!
