Hello everybody, my name is Pavla Sessions and I come from the beautiful city of Durban.

Describe your day under the theme "a day in the life of Pavla Sessions

My day starts at 5:30am - I'm an early bird. I have my first cup of coffee, a well-laid strong espresso with a dash of milk. It's about 6am when my 2 year old daughter Allegra wakes up and my hubby and I entertain her for the morning, with milk, stories, teeth brushing and sometimes a puzzle or 2.

From there it's either on to gym, or to drop my daughter off at play school. My hubby drops her off on the days I have gym. I love yoga, Pilates and Barre which is a ballet-inspired class.  I head to work where I am a digital strategist for one of Africa's top agencies. It's a fast-paced environment with hectic deadlines and often we're doing things for the first time so a lot of exciting innovation. I work with an amazing team.

I fetch my daughter at about 3pm and  drop her off at home with the nanny. I work from home whilst my nanny watches Allegra. I knock off work about 5:30, make dinner, which is interesting as I am peseceterian but my hubby and daughter eat meat.  We always make it work though.

From there we like to hang outdoors playing with our 3 dogs and 1 cat. The evening ends on bed where we read 7 library books to Allegra every night, sing 2 long songs, and then put her to bed. And then chill time begins, where I love to give myself a foot massage I for face massage with oils and then just chill.

As a child- did your parents travel local and what is your favorite childhood holiday memory?

I loved holidays in Ballito. We would rent a beach cottage and just have such a fun time in Ballito which was such a small village then.

Have you ever revisited your holiday destination as an adult? 

Yes, it is a wonderful place to go.
