New Blog Name For A New Year

As 2016 draws to an end, most of us start to look back and reflect on the year we had. We also take this time to think about what we want to achieve in the upcoming year.

RIP Jenna Lowe

It's been a month since the extraordinarily inspiring, Jenna Lowe passed away.

#LoveChange

"I want to tag Fawn from Deer Delights to share her #LoveChange story.  If you dont know, I met Fawn at her #ChariTea event on Woman’s Day.  The event was in aid of The South African Organ Donor Foundation, a charity very close to Fawn’s heart (or lungs as the case may be), as she is an organ donor recipient!"  - Gina A Bit Of This A Bit Of That

12 Things To Do More Often

You probably already know the things that make up a good, healthy, happiness-filled life. (And you’re pretty sure it’s not Cheetos, checking email in bed, or gossiping.)

The Fourways Farmers Market

The Fourways Farmers Market is located next to Monte Casino and is fast becoming one of my regular spots on a Sunday!

It's open every Sunday from 9am to 3.30pm with Live music playing from 11am-2pm.

The market is set in a beautiful nursery so you can expect stalls in amongst gorgeous greenery and a feeling of 'freshness' all around.

The majority of the stalls are food related. Everything from greek cuisine, gourmet milkshakes, fresh produce, gluten/sugar/dairy free treats, coffees, wines, beers, you name it. If you're an avid foodie then this is definitely worth a visit! With a huge variety of food to choose from and ample seating to sit back and enjoy your meal! 

One of my favourite stores is 'The Fat Rabbit'. They make rusks and other treats but also have a gluten and sugar free range which is perfect for me! I love their cranberry and pecan biscottis and never leave the market without a packet (R30) in hand! 

The market isn't only for foodies, it's a place where parents can bring their kids for a day out in the sun or for a group of friends to get together and enjoy a drink in an outside environment. Dogs are welcome at the market and there are always a number of people walking around with their pooch on a leash.

I went to the market with the intention of having lunch with friends and buying a packet of biscottis. However, I ended up buying:

• Packet of Biscottis
• Lunch (indian food)
• Cappuccino 
• Banting cupcake
• Biltong
• Packet of chia seeds

Moral of the story - Go expecting to buy more than you anticipated! But GO =)
