Put on your favourite summer dress or shorts and a vest, and head out to one of these beautiful picnic hotspots.

Take a drive to Magaliesberg and enjoy an afternoon of pure indulgence. The amazing part is that you don't have to carry your picnic basket as they are provided for by the executive chef at a price. Budmarsh promises to deliver on an amazing experience. Visitors can expect to see beautiful birds, and a variety of fish. Another plus is that blankets, pillows and any other picnic essentials are also provided for. Tempting is it not?

Thursday #Throwback- Baddest villians of all time

Image
Watching soap operas  as families played a role in our childhoods, the villain's brought even more spice to the scenes. That is why I have compiled a list of  villains that will always be in our memories. #1 Laqasha from Sgudis Snaysi He wasn't a villain per say, but he sure did give us a scare when he came around with his stick ready to break Sdumo's knees. As a child I told myself that I would never want to run into Laqasha in a dark alley.       #2 Stefano DiMera from days of our lives     This man has to be the baddest villain I've watched on television. He taunted people, even from beyond the grave. His obsession with Marlena was the most scariest thing to watch. He terrified  me for years even now I still get nightmares.            #3 David Genaro from Rhythm City     This character will definitely go down in history as one of the baddest villains...

Thursday All Access- In Conversation with Connie Zitha

Image
  Meet Connie Zitha who has mastered the art of plaiting, and hair magic. While her 7year old peers were running the streets, she was getting lessons on how to plait hair by her mom. This didn't sit well with her in fact it came as an irritation, but little did she know that the plaiting lessons would build her an empire.  I had a chance to sit down and get to know her business a bit better.  At the age of 13 years she started taking plaiting seriously, even got encouragement from clients to start her own business. She took this into consideration after she matriculated, although her plans were to study either psychology, teaching or nursing. But as you know life has a way of redirecting us at times. That's exactly what happened to Connie. In 2011 she opened her salon and as they say the rest is history.  In a competitive industry like hair you need to be able to stand out, and she has definitely found the for formula ''the way...
