When she left school, Sarah-Marie Snyman vowed two things. One was that she would never work in a restaurant again, and the other was that she would certainly never move back to the Slowveld.<\/h4>\n

Fmous last words, as they say. Happily settled back here, Sarah-Marie has owned the popular craft bar and restaurant Cicada in Mbombela for the past 16 years, and can\u2019t think of a better place to live than the beautiful Lowveld. \u201cI always wanted to be an archaeologist,\u201d she explains. \u201cLet\u2019s just say that would not have ended well for me. With age, I have realised khaki is not my best colour, the sun is not my friend and I don\u2019t particularly enjoy getting dirty and dusty. I blame my lapse in judgement on Indiana Jones,\u201d she laughs.<\/p>\n

Growing up, Sarah-Marie\u2019s parents owned the local Spur, and she and her brothers had to work weekends for pocket money. \u201cBeing blessed with hard-working folks who made sure that all their children focused on entrepreneurial skills has been the biggest influence in my life,\u201d she says thoughtfully. \u201cHaving to work over weekends was one of the best things they could have done for me. It should be compulsory for children to work a few hours in\u00a0 customer service. The world would be a kinder, more patient place.\u201d<\/p>\n

When she\u2019s not creating new and exciting seasonal recipes for Cicada (at the moment it\u2019s strawberry-inspired sushi rolls because it\u2019s strawberry season), she\u2019s designing beautiful
\nspaces with flowers, explaining that their small details and textures are so amazing. \u201cFlowers bring joy, and it\u2019s so special to play a small part in someone\u2019s big celebration. On the flip side, they can also soothe and remind us of life\u2019s beauty in sad times. I love colour, and putting together unexpected combinations brings me so much pleasure. I also cook to relax,\u201d she adds, \u201cbut I\u2019m not a big fan of kitchen gadgets. I find it therapeutic to chop and dice and create. Food is my love language and I enjoy feeding my loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While running a restaurant and working with flowers might seem like occupations worlds\u00a0 apart, Sarah-Marie explains that they do have a few things in common. For one thing, they
\nare both creative and high-pressure occupations. \u201cIt takes careful planning with the\u00a0 backing of an amazing team of staff to pull off big events\/flowers\/running a restaurant. You are only as good as your team, and I have an amazing one that I can trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah-Marie\u2019s guilty pleasure is collecting art, to which her chock-full walls are a testament. \u201cArt gives me immense joy,\u201d she says, \u201cI love to look at all of mine, which I do on a daily
\nbasis. I also enjoy thrifting, and most of the items in my home have a story behind them. My dad loves auctions, and we\u2019ve joined him in the hunt for treasure since we were\u00a0 children! I also love to read, even though I don\u2019t get as much time anymore. I\u2019ve always been a bookworm, and some of my best childhood memories include visits to the Mbombela library, but these days I prefer to support the SPCA and buy most of my books from their shop at Village SPAR. It\u2019s affordable, helps the animals in need and gives unused books another lease on life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

A love of art seems to have rubbed off on Sarah-Marie\u2019s young son, Phillip (8), who loves outings to the art gallery and has his own budding collection of art on his bedroom walls. \u201cI hope that he will always continue to notice the beauty in everyday life,\u201d she says. \u201cPhillip also loves to eat and has a very healthy appetite. Don\u2019t think he will settle for instant noodles or chicken strips!\u201d she laughs. \u201cOnce a week we have a cooking lesson at home. I believe everyone should know the basics of food prep. Food brings people together. I\u2019ve found that if you have a home filled with it, you often end up with a home filled with loved ones \u2026 and I love having Phillip\u2019s friends over. Apparently, I make the best toasted cheese sandwiches (of all\u00a0 the food in the world, this is what I am now known for!). And before you ask – yes, I am a feeder!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah-Marie describes herself as a homebody, explaining that her perfect weekend off\u00a0 would be spent with her family, and cooking and planning the menu together is half of
\nthe fun. One of her favourite things about the Lowveld is the produce, and she laughingly says you could bribe her with avos and macadamias. \u201cThere are so many things I love about the region,\u201d she adds, \u201cthe people and the sense of community, and the natural beauty all around us that we are fortunate enough to have right on our doorstep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The leggy brunette adds that she also loves sleeping in on a Sunday and rarely stays awake after 8pm; she loves sleep too much to stay up late. Inspired by friends, she\u00a0 adds that as
\nso many of them are business owners, she is able to bounce ideas off them, people who, like so many these days, are hustling every day to balance work and family life. \u201cOne of the most important things I\u2019ve learnt in life,\u201d she says, \u201cis to always be kind. You don\u2019t know with what other people might be dealing. Sometimes the smallest gesture or a friendly\u00a0 greeting can change someone\u2019s day for the better.\u201d<\/p>\n

She thoughtfully picks up an anemone, one of her favourite flowers, and smiles. \u201cLook how perfect it is,\u201d she says, \u201csuch a beautiful, simple thing.\u201d This vibrant woman believes in celebrating the everyday, in living in the here and now. Her advice is to create a life you don\u2019t need to or want to escape from, a life filled with colour and joy, and of course, flowers.<\/p>\n
