Hello Beautiful People!
Upgrade your Happiness ~ July – August 2018
We very proudly present our Cover Girl ~ Mishka Patel with the dress by Stephen van Eeden and photos by Lauren Pretorius.
Please click to view more information, inspiration and the credits about Mishka Patel.
Also in this issue, we cover my favourite new “kid on the block”; The Elgin Railway Market! I have such strong feelings about the building and its design elements that I cannot share it here as it will sound like drooling (Google Blocked) burlesque pillow-talk! Then you might want to look at a couple of highly inspiring Non-Profit Organisations. We introduce some weekend and holiday accommodation gems to visit. In the gorgeous Overberg, Picollo Bocca Villa in Kleinmond. You want to breathe the clean air at Broadwater Holiday and Wedding Venue resort in the Northern Cape and the beautiful ex Prof. Chris Barnard’s Richmond / Three Sisters farm at Bloemhof-Karoo. You can also get inspired by the spotlight on fashion, décor, interior decorating, obviously wine and fantastic winter events. And some suggestions on upgrading your general inner dialogue – lets show some love and be kind in our judgement of self and others. Read on!
#Reading makes you irresistible!
At this point, even troglodytes know that your recurring thoughts play the biggest role of all in your life, circumstances, happiness and health. It is like the rudder steering your boat. Every thought you think causes a feeling. When you upgrade your thoughts, your feelings will upgrade and that in turn will upgrade your health and circumstances. Initially, even if you only have a happier approach, you will feel better already and the people around you will helplessly be uplifted too. If you wake up anxious, or feel like an emotional wreck or ‘bottom-feeder’ – click here for some emotional intelligence guidance.
Your Vibe attracts your Tribe …and so much more!

Creation Wines ~ From Wilderness to Model Wine Farm
When in 2002 Jean-Claude (JC) and Carolyn Martin took up the challenge of establishing a winery in a remote corner of the Walker Bay Wine Region, they did so with the courage of their conviction. The 40 hectares of undulating land on the lofty Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge had never been planted to vines before, but recognising the vast potential, they set out with tenacity and determination to transform it into a model wine farm. No easy feat, but then the Swiss-born JC and South African-born Carolyn (née Finlayson) both come from wine pioneering stock spanning at least three generations and two continents! Read more about the award-winning farm and wines of Creation.
