De Oude Kraal, a go-to for family time

De Oude Kraal, a go-to for family time

by Renate Engelbrecht | Nov 20, 2020 | DINING OUT, FAMILY, LOCAL TRAVELS

Family of mine live on a 6th generation Merino sheep farm outside of Bloemfontein that they also run as a guest farm called De Oude Kraal Country Estate & Spa. On our way back from George a month or so ago, we made time to stay over and reconnect with family we...

SEYCHELLES NOW OPEN TO SOUTH AFRICANS As you migh SEYCHELLES NOW OPEN TO SOUTH AFRICANS As you might know by now, the Seychelles is one of my favourite destinations, which is why I think it is worth mentioning that paradise is now open to South Africans. Yes, South Africa has been removed from the archipelago’s list of ‘restricted countries’ and I (and many other South Africans) cannot be happier. Read all about it on my blog.

Never lose sight of who you are and who you want t Never lose sight of who you are and who you want to be. Always strive towards becoming more you. I have been struggling with life's balancing act the past few years and in the process I seem to have lost sight of who I really am. Apart from being a mom, a wife, a freelancer, a blogger, an entrepreneur, a home maker, I am also me. So, for the next couple of weeks I will be setting aside half an hour a day for some introspection. Time where I can rediscover who I am. Who does this on a daily basis? Hands up 🙋🏻‍♀️ #introspection #metime #motherhood #homemaker #entrepreneur #blogger #freelance #journaling #worklifebalance

JEAN JACKETS I recently attended @curated_style_s JEAN JACKETS I recently attended @curated_style_sa 's Wardrobe Masterclass and one thing that is included in as a 'must-have' in your capsule wardrobe (or what she calls your skeleton - the bones that holds your wardrobe together) is a jean jacket. This one from @milkandhoneysa is quite cool as it is reversable and for someone with a romantic, floral style it could work wonders in a wardrobe. I have been cleaning out and building new wardrobe capsules and I am loving every minute of it! #styleblogger #styleinspo #stylish #fashion #wardrobe #romantic #floral #feminine
