The KwaZulu-Natal Midlands is one of our favourite areas to explore in South Africa. This beautiful countryside is known for it’s tree lined roads, lush green pastures with cattle, rolling hills, winding roads and a selection of delicious eateries and hidden gems. We have been very lucky to have visited this area countless times. Each…
I take real good care of my hair. Well at least I try to. I use salon quality products, like Schwarzkopf. I try not to use any unnecessary hair products like hair spray or dry shampoo. I use my hair iron maybe once a month. I let my hair air dry so I don’t have…
Last weekend we had the absolute pleasure of wining and dining at Forti Grill and Bar in Pretoria’s very own Times Square. Forti is a contemporary Italian restaurant in a fine dining environment. If you are a regular reader of Minkys, you will know that I have a very special place in my heart for…
I am in no way a health freak but since June last year, after receiving a little health scare from my doctor, I have implemented a few lifestyle changes that have made a noticeable difference. Not only do I feel better, and suffer from less headaches but I also feel more energetic. An added bonus…
The first time I had a Neapolitan pizza was in Italy (obviously). What I noticed about this style of pizza is how different it is to what we are used to. What are we used to though? We’re used to complicated pizza with so many toppings that the actual pizza is hidden! We are also…
I am very lucky to be able to say I have explored a lot of our beautiful country South Africa. Even though I have explored a lot, there is still so much I haven’t seen. I have visited little towns and game reserves and I have stayed at different hotels along the way. But this…
Clarens is that one little town that everyone has been to and everyone talks about. So a few weekends ago, we packed our bags, packed the car and made our way because we wanted to see why this little town is so loved. After just a short weekend here, we understand now why Clarens is…
Valentine’s Day is a week away. As much as we look forward to declaring our love for each other on this day, we don’t like overdoing it because every day should be Valentine’s Day. Wink wink! So on that note, we do like to do something special, but we try keep the cheesy levels down….
South Africa is synonymous with safaris. Our beautiful country has so many game reserves offering the very best safari experiences. I have been very fortunate to have visited a lot of these game reserves so I thought I would share my top three in a blog post. Hopefully this will inspire you to visit at…
It feels like just the other day I was putting my 2018 goals together and now, here I am, doing my 2019 goals. The years are just flying by at an alarmingly fast rate and before we knew it, it’s going to be 2020. Yip, scary thought! While I was putting my 2019 goals together,…
2018 was quite a year – although it was an exciting one, it was also quite difficult. There were a lot of highs and a few hurdles. But all in all, when I look back at my photos, it is evident that I had an absolutely wonderful year! I turned 30 In January I celebrated…
Sophie Kinsella is currently my absolute favourite author. I have devoured her books one after the other and so I thought I should share my three favourite books of hers that I have read this year. Her books are so hilarious that I actually find myself LOL’ing. Yip, laughing out loud. Often my boyfriend will…
Matjiesfontein is a tiny little town on the N1, about 236 km’s from Cape Town. When I say tiny, I mean tiny. Picture two streets separated by a railway line. Yip, that is tiny! We stopped over in Matjiesfontein for an hour or so on our journey from Pretoria to Cape Town on Rovos Rail…
