Hello Beautiful People! Some Good News ~ South Africa ~ October / November 2017
Please scroll down and enjoy the read
or view the digital magazine with a special inspiration just for you on the back page.
“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is! ” ~ Anne Frank
Ubuntu and Gin Matters!
Sugarbird Gin of Origin ~ Western Cape. A group of young and inspired South African entrepreneurs have a vision and a beautiful dream. They have done a lot of work to make it a reality. They want to make a really great gin at a good price and get it to all of South Africa, and then take this proudly South African product to the World. And they need our help… There is even an option of getting Ryan Gosling to personally deliver your Gin! Go straight to the Crowdfunding page or read more on “Let us help them and Ubunti* supercharge this!”
Nature, Respect and Protect Matters!
The Overstrand Municipality has drafted an Integrated Management Plan for the Fernkloof Nature Reserve. This without prior consultation with either the Fernkloof Advisory Board or Vogelgat Reserve. Please sign this Hands off Fernkloof petition! Read more on why we vote for Hands off Fernkloof.
Self-love and Beauty Matters!
Other than a walk in nature, we all know that the first step out of depression or just to feel better about yourself and life, starts with a little gentle self-care and a lot of healthy self-love. Refine anti-aging and laser clinic in Hermanus is a haven for many men and women for just that! The atmosphere at Refine Clinic hovers between chic, elegant, serene and funky. It is just so really lovely to be there! Probably especially because you can rest assured that you are in really caring, professional and good hands. It is a ‘breathe deeply, exhale and enjoy’ experience! Read more about my experience at Refine.
Inspired Action Matters

Wine & Food Matters
Follow Isabella Niehaus and her long table for some sensational #foodporn and exquisite taste! Isabella will be doing her thing at De Doorns on the 17th of October. More about this under our events.
Creation Wines ~ Creation Chenin. Cool Rules!
It has been with great excitement and delight that the ever-innovative Creation team launched their first Chenin Blanc (2017) this week. Not only is it one of the very few cool-climate Chenins in South Africa but also the first Chenin to be grown and made in the Hemel-en-Aarde. Read more about this 15 year old virus-free vineyard.
Follow Seven Springs on Facebook to stay up to date with the jet-setting, wine-sipping super lovely Vaughn and Tim – amongst other things, their Hemel & Aarde Valley Winery floor was cemented two weeks ago and these are exciting times!
The darling Holly Bellingham-Turner of Sumaridge is a self confessed bibliophile! Hence it is no coincidence that the inspiration behind the names of two of the newly launched Sumaridge lifestyle wines came from books. “Tara” from Travels on my Elephant by Mark Shand and “Bushell” from The Great Escaper by Simon Pearson. Read more in her delightful newsletter, the Grapevine.
Movies & Music Matters!
District Six born Trevor Jones went from a sensitive and shy little ‘coloured boy’ to become one of the world’s top five film composers! He won an oscar at a very young age and has composed the scores for dozens of highly successful movies. Watch this video interview from Cart Blance.
This month’s main review: Kingsman! “Although it lacks the #spark from “The Secret Service”, #KingsmanTheGoldenCircle makes up for it by its star-studded #cast, #trademark #action and overkill, and #stunning #choreography… read more on Maya’s Movie Magic!
Community Matters!
~Please visit our Caring Community & Doing Random Acts of Kindness page where you can pick your favourite charity or choose a random one to donate a couple of rands to. Giving is good for the soul.
