Roundabout this time of the year, most people feel rather (or extremely) stressed or fatigued. The cure for this almost-but-not-quite-yet-end-of-year-feeling is a staycation. A staycation is basically a mini-holiday that is close to your home. A quick breakaway to fill up your tank so that you can make it (sanely) to Christmas. My recent solo […] Read more…
If you have not been to Spier Wine Estate recently, then I suggest you change that. My friend Christelle & I paid an end-of-winter visit to Spier recently & we had such fun! The weather was just perfect – it could well have been spring already. We kick-started the morning with coffee at Vadas Smokehouse […] Read more…
I am a city girl. Through & through. I like city lights, city things, the buzz, the shops & city people. To say that camping in the Kalahari sand is daunting for a city slicker like me is an understatement.

It is literally just three […] Read more…

Once you become a mother, things like sleeping in, having your bed entirely to yourself, bathing by candle light, or browsing Pinterest for hours, seem like very distant memories. Just imagine my excitement when I could recently book a quick solo trip to Durban to get some business & leisure ‘to do’s’ ticked off my […] Read more…
A couple of years ago, I took a friend & her Dutch husband to Constitutional Hill. We wanted to spend time together & explore some of the history of South Africa. It was fascinating but also sobering & very intense. It was good & necessary for us all to see, of course, but I found […] Read more…
When in Rome, do like the Romans. Even if you know very little about Rome or the Romans, right? Well, when in Jozi this weekend, do like Joburgers & visit The Turbine Art Fair (from 14 – 16 July 2017). Even if you know very little about art. Especially when you know little about art, because […] Read more…
Since we’ve arrived back in Joburg, one of my favourite things to do is to explore little streets or hidden shopping centres & stores. The Bamboo Lifestyle Centre in Melville is an old favourite rediscovered. The selection of stores – albeit small – gives me such joy! I love it as a solo outing on […] Read more…
