5 Things To Do Before The End Of The Year

5 Things To Do Before The End Of The Year

The end of the year is creeping up on us! Too quickly if you ask me, but anyways… With the end of a year and looking forward to a clean slate in 2018, I thought I would compile a list of things to get done before the year is up, that way you can go into the new year all shiny and new!

Throughout the year, things pile up and with the slow down during November and December it’s a good time to get those things cleared and out of the way, so that you can begin the new year without it hanging over your head.

So lets get started shall we?

Celebrating Cucumbers Today

Celebrating Cucumbers Today

Today is a rather unusual day to celebrate, but it’s a good one! It’s Hendrick’s World Cucumber Day. And in honour of this day, I’m sharing a few unusual cucumber growing tips from Hendrick’s Gin, who conducted a very different kind of experiment, which revealed cucumbers to be highly sensitive to sound, scent and touch! So, if you want to grow the most glorious cucumbers for your G&T’s, then you may want to crank up your playlist, make better choices on what other plants you plant them with and start swaddling those glorious greens. Sound kinda crazy – you ain’t…

Stylish, Wireless Earphones

If you love music as much as I do, you no doubt want a pair of headphones that will be music to your ears. Nothing is worse than crackly sound, or earphones that feel uncomfortable – that’s why I’ve been loving both pairs of my Sudio Sweden headphones so much – and for different reasons. Stick around as today I’m going to tell you more about why I love them, PLUS I’ve  got a special discount coupon for all my lovely readers, so that you can enjoy 15% off the retail price (for a limited time).

How To Shop Smarter, Spend Less & Love Your Wardrobe

How To Shop Smarter, Spend Less & Love Your Wardrobe

Buying new clothes can be exciting. It can also be a taunting experience, never mind stressful; especially with the big fat dent that’s left in your wallet. New season means new clothes right? Wrong! Over the years, I’ve learnt to shop smarter. I was just tired of having a cupboard full of clothes, and still faced with the common dilemma that is I have nothing to wear! I think as you get older, you develop into your own style, so making smart clothing choices once you’ve had a chance to experiment a little, makes it easier, but none the less you…

If you follow me on social media, you’ll know that pretty soon, I’ll be jetting off to Prague! A city of contrasts, the land of mystic and baroque beauty, art decor and gothic towers, where every turn provides a magical backdrop and the perfect opportunity to lose yourself in the relic of time. What you may not know, is why I’m going to Prague! As much as I am excited about crossing the infamous Charles Bridge or getting to watch the Astronomical Clock strike, I’m going for very exciting fashion weekend with Bata Shoes, which you gals will get to read all about, right…

3 Small Things To Do For Yourself

3 Small Things To Do For Yourself

We take on too much. We do too much, we commit to too much and we dedicate all our time to something, or someone else. Our lives are becoming more and more crazy, and in the process we are pushing further and further away from ourselves. It’s time to stop and smell the roses! Take a time out for yourself and commit to doing 3 things that make you happy! I don’t mean buying new makeup or clothes (even though a new outfit and lipstick always helps), but little things you used to do before, that have somehow become irrelevant because they take up too…

Turbocharge Your Energy Levels with Turbovite

Turbocharge Your Energy Levels with Turbovite

ENERGY! Ahh if only I had more! It’s amazing how as a kid, the new year would often bring with it a clean slate – a chance to go into January with some sort of magical boost. Call me a nerd, but I used to be super amped the day before school started! I had my shiny new stationary, my scuff-free school shoes and my neatly covered, fresh notebooks ready to go, but most of all, I had so, so much energy! The older I get, the harder I find it to stay energetic, heck even the thought of energy drained…

Christmas Just Ain’t Christmas without Woolies

Christmas Just Ain’t Christmas without Woolies

The countdown to the festive season has begun! YIKES! If you haven’t started your festive shopping, then you better get cracking! Nobody wants to spend their year end leave trawling around shopping centres hunting down their holiday find. I know that’s the last place I want to be! I’d rather be sipping on cocktails by the pool, catching a tan. After all, isn’t that what Christmas in South Africa is all about?
