FODMAP’s Decoded
Happy Tuesday All! Last week, I asked you on an Instagram poll if you knew what FODMAP’s was and 95% who responded said no. The reason I am talking about FODMAP’s is because I think it has to be one of easiest ways to solve a simple problem so many of us have, but don’t really talk about. B L O A T I N G. You know, the sexy kind that makes you look like your 6 months pregnant at the end of the day. In a bid to vanquish reoccurring stomach issues, I have been trying to follow this guide (as far as possible) for the last few…

Cape Town in 72 Hours
It is possible to see ALOT of Cape Town in 72 Hours. I cannot believe the first time I actually went there EVER was only in 2016. How had I lived my entire life without knowing such a beautiful place? Both times we’ve visited, we arrived early on a Friday morning and left on Monday morning. And, both times we crammed everything we possibly could into those 72 hours. So, I thought I’d love to write about some of the things you can do over the course of 2 – 3 days in the beautiful mother city, which you can use as a guide, especially if it’s your first time…

Visit Woolly Bugger Farm
Want to know why you should visit Visit Woolly Bugger Farm? Read on. Shaun turned 30 last month and it’s kind of become a tradition that we take each other away, instead of buying presents. We call them ‘experience gifts’ and they are really awesome, because exploring a new place is kind of like a gift that keeps on giving (sounds cheesy I know) and you’ve got those special memories forever. (Truth) I did some research on some more off-the-beaten-track fly fishing places and I found this article on Getaway Magazine and decided on Woolly Bugger Farm in Tonteldoos. What you need to know The road to get there is…

Nooitgedacht Trout Lodge
Only three hours out of Joburg and just passed Dullstroom, lies the hidden gem that is Nooitgedacht Trout Lodge. I say hidden gem because most people prefer to visit Dullstroom – its closer to Johannesburg and is quite built up with trendy restaurants, bars and fly fishing shops. While Dullies is always fun for a weekend getaway, Shaun and I both prefer more off the beaten track type places. I had actually asked Shaun’s dad for advice (being a fly fisher too) and it turned out that this place was the ultimate LOW KEY fly fishing haven. So, I booked a getaway for his 29th Birthday last year February, and…
