Dio Dell'Amore - Jeffrey's Bay Eastern Cape (CLOSE, CHEAP & AWESOME)

We found the most divine place to stay in the Eastern Cape, in Jeffrey's Bay, which is about an hour from Port Elizabeth. IT IS STUNNING, and perfect, as its look like the priciest joint but is REALLY reasonable. It fits in perfectly with this months CLOSE, CHEAP & AWESOME feature in TRAVEL & RELAXATION.

Meet....
This is a beautiful Guest House, in a Beautiful Area of South Africa, and for a Sea View Suite, starting at R 450 per person per night, we thought this was a perfect find. So dying to go, you will too. 

Dio Dell'Amore Guest House reflects the opulence of Tuscany and is situated right on the shoes of the Kabeljauws River Mouth. 

This FIVE STAR Guest House is set in a tranquil escape that any discerning traveller would appreciate. 
The approach is warm and totally welcoming and their service ensures that guests individual needs are catered for. Its a totally relaxed atmosphere with optimum convenience and comfort. You will enjoy beautiful breaker views, ocean scenery, with Dolphins & Whales alike, and a Lagoon, with all the water sports you need and want, and then there's the mountains....heaven. 

Its really stunning.....for more information, please visit them @ www.diodellamore.com

BEAUTFUL EARTH - BEST SPOILS, TREATS & EVERYTHING NICE / PRODUCTS & APPAREL

This is the last week of this subject cover, and its been awesome, LOVING all these products, not sure which is best, we think you need to decide for yourself, or get a little of everything. But, we are very happy that each has been a proudly South African Brand, and this one isn't any different....LOVE, Products & Apparel, things that make you feel good and well, and that are THE BEST SPOILS & TREATS YOU COULD GET.

Meet....

We quite like this range as its a Skin Care and Body Care Brand, AND they have Baby Care, Hospitality, Home & Outdoor products. 

But we are specifically looking into the Skin & Body Care, its a simple and direct approach, or so it seems, not too fluffy, but totally awesome products, everything you need, nothing you don't.

"Beautiful Earth  all about personal grooming, with certified natural products. Our products are available to individual consumers and the hospitality industry. 

As the first South African brand to achieve natural certification, we offer a personal grooming alternative where the fragrances are derived from essential oils, not synthetics or phthalates. And without the harmful or undesired ingredients - no parabens, sulphates, colouring, mineral oils or glycols...just natural, certified" 

"Beautiful Earth is synonymous with natural living- whether you are looking for certified natural products or simply a brand that is friendly to the environment and animals, we offer well being and peace of mind."

"Enjoy being natural with us!"

Their mission is to provide certified natural, personal care products in an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable manner, while generating attractive returns to all stakeholders. 

But truth lies in what you think, we think you will be pleasantly surprised, they really have covered all the bases on what we need, and again, its all natural, which means no chemicals, the bane of our existence, ne'?!

SPAR WOMEN'S CHALLENGE - Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape. (9th MAY) (Road Running, Marathons & Sporting Events)

Sorry boys....This isn't about you...Ladies Only!!!

Meet.....

The SPAR Women's Race began in 1992 as a way to get women of all ages, shapes and sizes, together to enjoy a safe 5km or 10k run, and enjoy the day. The atmosphere is supportive and everyone is welcome to register and take part, regardless of whether they run regularly, or are just starting out. 

There is competitive element for those who need that streak in their stride, its the SPAR Grand Prix, where professional runners were invited to take part in all of the regional races and compete for a cash prize. The Top 10 Runners in the open category and the first three in the four age categories all receive cash prizes. Runners finishing in the Top 20 places each receive points, with the winner earning 20 points and the 20th placed runner one point. 

As further incentive, an age category runner can also earn points by finishing in the top 5 places in her category, which means that age category runners can compete on equal terms with athletes at the peak of their careers.....and if real competition is not your thing, you can just run for the fun of it, or walk it, but just do it. Hopefully, if anything, get your wellness on in an environment that encourages healthy living and aim for the competitive side in you to come out. 

This is a really popular event drawing in more than 14 000 entrants and not only takes place in the Eastern Cape, Port Elizabeth, but also in Cape Town, Durban, Jo'burg a Pretoria.  

Go to SPAR WOMENS RACE for more information or to Online Entries

PAPAYA & KIWI JUICE @ HAPPY.ME (HEALTH JUICES & SMOOTHIES)

We're at the end of reviews on HEALTH JUICES & SMOOTHIES, and where to find them, obviously there are many places to go, but we could only review a few....so glad we found this spot, they are everywhere and growing, and they are super cool....LOVING#

Meet...
HAPPY.ME brings you tastes from around the world, and is the result of a ten year odyssey of two adventurous foodies, Jay & Jan, that went out to taste and experience the world. They traveled more than 60 countries, and afterwards started a concept  that takes the worlds best beverages and combines the under one brand. 

They believe that what a nation drinks and eats is a unique representation of the culture, history and personality of its people. J&J tasted fragrant Osmanthus flowers in China, Agave nectar in Mexico, Popping earls in Taiwan, Coconut in Indonesia, Herbal Creations in Patagonia to Coffees from Ethiopia....they have literally researched and tasted hundreds of drinks. 

Bringing HAPPY.ME into reality, they sought expert advise from around the world and studied under tea masters in Asia, meticulously sourced the best ingredients, and finally, in their Johannesburg base test kitchen, perfected the amazing beverages available on their fabulous menu. 

Created on the principle of everyone's RIGHT to HAPPINESS & HEALTH, Happy.Me is a place where you can get in touch with your inner bliss. Their stores are a quirky, humorous, fun and exciting places to be in....its where you are encouraged to be yourself.

We really quite liked them, you will too, and their menu is STUNNING, and healthy!
