My favourite way to start the day is by having a green smoothie in the morning. I just love how green smoothies are an easy way to make sure you are getting in all your nutritious fruits and vegetables as well as other healthy goodies you add to the mix. They’re also delicious and tasty….
I am sure you can agree with me here when I say this long weekend cannot come sooner! We have literally been counting down the days. All we want to do is relax, rest, read and basically do nothing for five whole days straight (yip, Monday included!). Our plans include drinking all the tea while…
Did you know there is a cheese farm in Magaliesburg? We didn’t know either until we took a drive out on Sunday and came across Van Gaalen Kaasmakerij. It’s not just a cheese farm though, there’s a very interesting shop, a restaurant as well as some hiking trails. The cheese farm is situated in Skeerpoort, which…
Airports are my happy place and I am sure they are yours too. Even if you are not flying anywhere, there is always such a buzz of excitement in the air (no pun intended). I love the anonymity at an airport where no one knows who you are or where you are going. One of…
One of my favourite things to do on a Sunday is drive out of the city towards the countryside. Not only does this clear your mind, but it is relaxing and exciting. It is also a nice way to spend some quality time with your better half/family just before a new week starts. A few…

Dullstroom is a quaint little town halfway between Johannesburg and the Kruger National Park. It is also, arguably, South Africa’s fly-fishing capital. We always use Dullstroom as our halfway stop on our annual family trip to the Kruger National Park but never have we stayed longer than one night. We recently explored the in’s and…
Lindt is delighted to introduce a new Fruit Sensation range to South Africa. I was one of the lucky few invited to an exclusive tasting of this new range. After taste testing each flavour, I can happily report back that they’re delicious! What is it? The Fruit Sensation range is a selection of dark chocolate nibbles with…
Can you believe winter is just around the corner? My favourite thing about winter is getting cozy. From snuggling up in a cozy blanket on the couch to wrapping myself up in cozy jerseys. There is just nothing better than a soft, fluffy jersey that feels as comfortable as your favourite blanket. I like to…
In this day and age, because we are always pressured for time, we are always searching for ways to do things more quickly and more efficiently, aren’t we? The digital world continues to evolve every day and even caters for the hottest social currency today, which is food. Stephen Billingham, the President of the South African…

Walkersons Hotel and Spa is a charming country hotel located just 10 kilometres outside of picturesque Dullstroom. The hotel is set in the rolling hills of the Mpumalanga highlands and boasts endless views and unrivalled serenity. We were lucky to call this place our home away from home this past weekend. We’ve visited many places…
Before soup season starts, here are two salads I couldn’t get enough of this summer. You get two kinds of people in this world – a salad eater and a non-salad eater. I like to say I’m a bit of both. I find salads can be boring, bland and just not satisfying. But if a…
Grab the popcorn … Over the holidays, we watched a lot of movies. We’d come home from dinner, make a pot of popcorn and snuggle up on the couch and pull an all-nighter (the best thing about holidays is not having an alarm set the next morning). From a few new movies, to some old…
