Brilliant reads to enjoy over the weekend In Love

Brilliant reads to enjoy over the weekend

In Love in a Lost Land by James MacManus, a foreign correspondent arrives in Africa to report on a nationalist insurgency … an innocent newcomer, he struggles to stay neutral in what is a bitter way waged with terror on both sides. Meanwhile, he begins an affair with a young township teacher – one that is tested when he discovers she is recruiting her students to join the guerrillas and helping to smuggle them across the border. A love story set against terror and atrocities from an author who once was a foreign correspondent in France, Africa and Middle East. Whitefox Publishing

Alistair MacKay’s The Child. After suffering a mental breakdown and losing his job at a New York advertising agency, a young man returns to Cape Town with his husband. The plan? To adopt a child … someone to love as the world around them falls apart. But as the adoption gets underway, his marriage and sense of self begin to unravel, and his life becomes increasingly enmeshed with his domestic worker and her young daughter. Lies, violence, and trauma all endanger the new beginning he hoped for. Kwela Books

The Dream About Sinking by Aleksandar Bajić. Being young, female and white in South Africa … if life was a poker game, Nadine has all the aces. She’s a candidate attorney with a loving boyfriend and a brilliant career ahead. But an apparently chance encounter with a young woman who’s trying to escape from a police raid at a strip club where she works sets in motion a chain of events that show her life’s not what she expected, and that she doesn’t know herself as well as she thought she did.

All books available from Exclusive Books.

Indoor trees are a hot décor item, great for crea

Indoor trees are a hot décor item, great for creating atmosphere, while mopping up stale air and toxins.

There’s probably more than 5 reasons why indoor trees work so well as an indoor décor feature, but here are five that come to mind:
- Indoors or out, trees are a living sculpture. When grown indoors they add a finishing touch to a room or act as a focal point (much as they would do in the garden).
- There’s nothing like living greenery to bring a room to life, especially in winter when everything outside is turning brown.
- The texture of their stems and the various shades of green foliage complement rather than clash with indoor colour schemes. The secret is to match the tree (and its container) to your décor style’.
- They provide height in airy, double volume spaces, fill awkward corners or frame a window.
- Because of the volume of their foliage, indoors trees are particularly effective in purifying stale air and removing toxins.

Tips for indoor trees:
- For even growth turn the container (1/4 turn) every week, to equally expose all sides to the light.
- Re-pot every two years or so into the next sized pot until it reaches the right height, then trim to keep it in proportion to the container.
- Don’t move trees too often as they acclimatise to their surroundings.
- Use room temperature water when watering.
- Whatever you choose, go for show. Let the trees dominate their space. Keep it simple and let there be plenty of air and light around them, so that they stand out.

Pearls are described as captivating and timeless,

Pearls are described as captivating and timeless, with their beauty reaching new heights in recent years on fashion runways worldwide.

When styling pearls, it is recommended to choose versatile pieces that can complement any wardrobe palette. Pearls can be worn with neutral tones like beige and white or with contrasting colours like black and navy for a striking look.

To care for pearls and ensure their longevity, avoid harsh chemicals, and water, and always wipe them with a microfiber cloth before storing. It is also advised to refrain from spraying perfume on pearls.

With the right care and styling, pearls can be treasured as a timeless and elegant accessory that adds sophistication to any outfit.

For those who have been eagerly waiting to hear, w

For those who have been eagerly waiting to hear, we are thrilled to share that our Mother’s Day Reader Event Breakfast held on Friday, May 10 at Willow Way Manor in Hillcrest raised a whopping R26 800 for our two charities this year - Paw Prints Rescue and Rehoming and the Twinkle Star Foundation.

While the day was aimed at celebrating the many wonderful women in our lives, it also highlighted the incredible work that goes on behind the scenes of these two incredible organisations who rely on public support and generous donations to continue the work that they do.

Carol Schroeder, who’s also known as the Embo angel, has dedicated her life to ensuring that the 75-plus GoGos and Mkulus in the Embo Community under her care through the Twinkle Star Foundation are never without a nutritional meal.

Jade Ashford, founder of Paw Prints Rescue and Rehoming who has, to date, homed more than 8000 dogs, continues on her daily mission to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome dogs and puppies that have been abused, abandoned or neglected.

It was with very happy hearts today that we handed each of them a donation of R13 400, which we hope will help give them the boost they need to keep doing what they’re doing.

It goes without saying that we could not have done this, so successfully, without the help of our generous sponsors, with special mention to Halfway Ford Waterfall, Kingsmead Shoes, Kith and Kin Music and Kim Griffith Jones of Connective Consulting.

For those who wish to show their support further for these charities, you can contact Jade on 082 210 4235, e-mail talktous@pawprints.org.za or visit pawprints.org.za and Carol on twinklestarfoundation@gmail.com or 083 777 7369.
