ell, I’m a female, that is almost 30 years old and originally from Pretoria North. If I had to describe myself in 3 simple words, it would be free spirited, kickass and incredibly awesome. Actually, very shy by nature, but yet love to meet new people all the time. I love to challenge myself constantly and push myself to a point where I place myself in situations where I get to learn and grow. During this year, I have managed to reach my highest level of growth in my entire lifetime thus far, empowering myself to the point where I could quit my day job and be completely free by starting my own company, and this was the best decision I have ever made!

HAT DO YOU SEE AS YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR?

As I explained in my previous answer, this year has been one hell of a year for me, I've had a few failures, but so more successes and it just keeps getting better. I have managed to start and create, from scratch, my own brand of cosmetics. This is something I have always been passionate about, but I didn't know in what direction I needed to go, until I started doing research about cosmetics, then realizing that my dream of owning my own company and loving cosmetics was something I could combine and.CallĂŠndra was created and I managed to achieve my dreams, for which I am grateful today, for taking that calculated risk.

This music video and the song itself, represents me breaking free from myself and realizing my true potential in life and leaving everything else behind that has no benefit in my life.

MAKE-UP ON THE MOVE

HISTORY STATEMENT HOW

CALLÉNDRA

WAS FORMED “I have always been so fascinated by make-up since a very young age. My mom will probably be able to explain better on how I use to dig in her make-up since I was 6 years old.

I have some freckles that I was never really a fan of, so in school I would use my mom’s foundation to try and cover it up – looking quite pale I must add. So everyday when I got to school, it was known already that Callen was wearing make-up, I was always asked to wash my face in front of the entire school. Sometimes I’d refuse and then I would get community service in school for saying no, and sometimes I would just wash my face and quickly re-apply whenever I got a chance. I felt that I had to look

the way I wanted to.

As I grew older I started falling in love with cosmetics even more to the point where I would blow half of my salary on foundations to cover my freckles which I loved so much. I just love how you can put on some make-up and it changes the way you feel for that entire day! It really makes a woman feel empowered.

In saying that, I could never really find a foundation that was perfect for me and that lived up to their word. I’m not fussy, but if you tell me that your foundation is full coverage and lasts the 16hrs you claim, then hell you better live up to that promise! The hunt continued. promise! The hunt continued.

Until one day this statement knocked me off my feet – If you want something done right, then you have to do it yourself. I thought, damn. Am I going to create a foundation? How? Where do I even start?

It took me almost 3 months of research, reading, studying and playing around with ingredients and pigments for me to eventually get it right! I will never forget it, it was 23h30 pm on a Wednesday night that I got the formula perfect, I created a foundation for myself, one that I loved! The next step was to test it. For the next 2 weeks I wore only my foundation and my powder and was extremely pleased with the results, so much so that I kind of forced it on my friends, who later came back to me and told me they gave their very expensive foundation away as they found a better one, calléndra! Now, months down the line and we are expanding at a massive rate.”

Step 3 I applied a concealer underneath the models eyes, as Kryolan Vitacolor foundation has full coverage, then I substituted the concealer with a foundation. If you have extremely dark circles underneath your eyes, I suggest that you color correct before applying your concealer.

Diets - TWO

DIETS TO AVOID AND ONE THAT REALLY WORKS

Are you one of the many people out there trying to lose weight and get slimmer as a quick-fix and last minute rush before summer kicks in and you’re tempted to do crash diet. The thing is, most of these crazy quick crash diets don’t last very long and some of them may be downright dangerous for your health in the long term.

There are two diets experiencing a surge in popularity that you really DON’T want to try: 26

he Master Cleanse AKA the Lemonade diet

The Master Cleanse, created and published by a naturopath has been around since the 1940’s and it involves living on a liquid diet of lemon juice, water, cayenne pepper, a dash of maple syrup and nothing else. This is a method is used to “detoxify” and lose weight. It recently experienced a surge of popularity in the 1990’s when Beyoncé was rumoured to have used it to drop a dress size for her role in Dreamgirls.

While this lemonade concoction could help you lose weight in the short term, you’d certainly pick up the weight again once you went back to eating normally. The diet is completely devoid of vital nutrients and there is no evidence that it can rid your body of toxins.

Worst of all, due to its extremely low kilojoule count, you’ll probably end up losing muscle weight and losing muscle tissue is a big negative, because the more muscle you have, the more kilojoules your body burns naturally.

The egg diet Back in the 1970’s, Vogue magazine published an egg and wine diet that transformed into another less boozy but just as ridiculous form.

The new egg diet essentially requires you to eat nothing more than an egg with cheese and butter for every meal. when following the egg diet, as prescribed, it doesn’t serve up enough kilojoules to be healthy.

This whole idea was to switch your body into a ketogenic state, which meant that due to a lack of carbohydrates, your body will start burning its own fat for fuel. While ketogenic diets has its merits, living off of just three food sources is the fastest way to causing a nutritional deficiency, and The RID diet The Renewal Institute Diet also is known as the RID diet, is a low kilojoule, low glycaemic index (GI) eating plan. It can help you blitz that belly fast and keep it off for good. The diet is enhanced by nutritious supplements and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injections.

These are self- administered and, if you adhere to it strictly, you can lose as much as 8kg a month

Many people struggle to lose weight because their body no longer listens to the message that insulin sends. Insulin is a hormone in your blood, it delivers the message to your body – to use the sugar in your blood as energy. When you’re insulin resistant, your sugar ends up lingering far too long in your blood. Eventually, it is shelved away as fat. Due to the diet being full of no or low sugar foods, you’ll get to retrain your body.

This enables you to become more sensitive to insulin once more. You’ll also still get optimum nutrition from the supplements and, thanks to the HCG injections, you’ll experience less hunger cravings. Best of all you get to enjoy a turbo-boosted your metabolism.

Next time you find yourself googling crash diets, rather make a commitment to trying something that’s healthy and sustainable.

Sunscreen Why we need to always use our Sunscreens!

SUNBURN, SUNSCREENS & SKIN CANCER Warning: Sunscreens with very high SPFs (50 or higher) offer the promise of longer protection, but in real life, they don’t work any better than a SPF 15. The following is true:

SPF 15 blocks 93% of the sun’s UVB rays SPF 30 blocks 97% SPF 50 blocks 98% SPF 100 that number stays at 98% A major problem is that high-SPF products also tempt one to stay out in the sun longer, which increases the risk of skin damage.

High-SPF products also contain greater amounts of sun-blocking ingredients, chemicals, than low SPF sunscreens.

These ingredients may pose health risks. It is better to use a sunscreen with SPF of 15 to 25 and reapply more often.

In real life, people apply one-fifth the amount of sunscreen used in the laboratory SPF tests. This means that someone who applies one-fourth as much sunscreen as in the SPF test gets just SPF 2.3 protection from an SPF 30 product. SPF 100 becomes just SPF 3.2.

The fact that people use less sunscreen than recommended is not an argument for using even higher SPF products to compensate.

Higher SPF products produce small increases in real-world SPF. But even this small change allows sunbathers to stay in the sun longer – and absorb more overall radiation – before a sunburn sends them indoors. In the process, the substantially greater amounts of sunscreen chemicals 34

in higher SPF products can penetrate the skin and lead to much higher internal exposures to potentially hazardous compounds. The user is left with a burn and a significantly higher “body burden” of sunscreen chemicals.

What’s wrong with high SPF? Theoretically, applying SPF 100 sunscreen allows beachgoers to bare their skin to sunshine a hundred times longer before causing the skin to burn.

One would therefore assume that someone who would normally redden in 30 minutes could remain in the sun for 50 hours before a burn would appear. But for high-SPF sunscreens, theory and reality are two different things.

Studies have found that users of high-SPF sunscreens have similar or even higher exposures to harmful UV rays than people relying on lower SPF products as they trust the product too much, stay in the sun longer with a single application and get burned when the product’s chemicals break down, wash off or rub off on clothes and towels.

Armed with a false sense of security, they extend their time in the sun well past the point when users of low-SPF products would.

Most people wrongly focus solely on the SPF factor within a product when deciding what would be the best choice of skin protection.

ROYAL ROUGE MAGAZINE | 2019 | WWW.ROYALROUGE.CO.ZA

BEAUTY GLAMOUR

SPF means “sun protection factor” and refers only to protection against UVB radiation, which causes burning, inflammation and damage of the skin which is all visible to the naked eye.

It has nothing to do with UVA radiation that penetrates deep into the skin, accelerates skin ageing, “the silent killer”, as it can cause skin cancer. This UVA burning is not visible. The SPF statement is only a measure of how well the sunscreen deflects UVB rays.

Also consider that SPF ratings are calculated under perfect laboratory conditions with the volunteer applying the correct

amount of product. Other ingredients within sunscreens are very important natural protectors such as Vit C. Since the introduction of sunscreens and sunblocks skin cancer rates began to climb and not fall. For example, melanoma rates doubled fro 6 to 13 per 100,000 people since 1973.

Bottom Line People stay out in the sun much longer because they are wearing high SPF so they feel they are totally protected when they are not, leading to ageing sun damage and potential skin cancers.

Choose sunscreens very carefully.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA

WHEN YOU DIE

The Internet and social media are a huge part of our daily lives and most of us have built a large bank of our information on our respective profiles over the years. What we often don’t realise, however, is that we need to account for our digital lives when we plan for our eventual deaths.

Back in the day, planning for death was pretty straightforward: write a will, do some estate planning and make sure your loved ones know where you 36

left the car keys. These are obviously still important, but as your digital footprint grows, so does your check list of stuff to sort out before you kick the bucket.

Social work and the role of social media best practices Presentation: Association of Caribbean Social Work Educators (ACSWE) 11th Biennial Conference Curacao July 8-12 Dr. Sylvester Bowie, Associate Professor California State University, Sacramento

WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA? • Media is an instrument used for communication: • Like a newspaper or • A radio, • So, social media would be a social instrument of communication Social media concept Kubey (1998) opined that media education has yet to obtain popular support. He postulated that far more parents, for example, will say that they want their children to be computer literate than will say they want their children to be media literate. Parents believe that computer expertise can equal a leg up in the job market.

Joint (2011) has wondered aloud if the new technology is making us stupid. Writing in the journal “ANTAEUS” he asked the question as the title of his research: If 38

WHAT SOME ARE SAYING

Veil, Buehner and Palenchar (2007) make the argument that Social media is at its core human communication, possessing characteristics of participation, openness, conversation, community, and connectedness.

They highlighted the fact that new media (the description applied to social media) is used in times of crisis to share and reshare information reaching millions of people without the intervening presence of journalists.

The authors also point out that news from sources known as social media are tremendously influential and even perceived as more trustworthy than mainstream media in some instances.

Technology allows private individuals to become sources of information online “sharing opinions, insights, experiences and perspectives with others”

What is going on More people have access to a mobile phone than a computer and it's worth remembering that many service users are comfortable using social media tools on their phones.

Some local authorities already use text messaging to remind young people of upcoming appointments.

Twitter is widely accessible from virtually anywhere and is used to share news, events and discussions.

A fascinating experiment was undertaken by Sedgemoor Citizens Advice Bureau where they tweeted every enquiry they processed over seven days showing the scale and the scope of the advice they provided.

The wave of the future Another social media innovation that looks highly promising for those in

children's services is being developed by the Safeguarding 2.0 project -which is developing new ways for child protection practitioners to communicate using Facebook-style modern, human and intuitive technology, centered around a family.

The tools allow information to be distributed quickly across networks and will act as an early warning system to enable earlier intervention.

The tool will be subject to rigorous security and confidentiality requirements from each of the partner agencies before it goes live.

How media literate are social workers?

Christ and Potter (1998) talk about the ways that media are penetrating the cultures of the world and they make the argument that media literacy is critical for navigating the pathway.

The work of Joshua Meyrowitz is cited in discussing the idea of “multiple literacies”. According to Christ and Potter, Meyrowitz (1985, 1993, 1996) share his point of view “that media literacy is a complex construct that needs to be conceptualized as a number of literacies, and that students need to be able to perform a range of analyses to be considered literate.”

Here’s the meaning of every rose colour ABOUT ROSES

Whatever you do, don’t send the special person in your life yellow roses. By Caroline Picard and Amanda Garrity You’ve probably heard that “a rose is a rose is a rose,” but the Victorians beg to differ. The language of flowers first gained popularity in the mid-1800s, and flower meanings still carry weight today. Follow this guide to pick the blooms that best sum up how you really feel about your loved one.

Red Roses

Orange Roses

If you planned on delivering this classic choice to your significant other, you’re in luck: It means “love.”

An energetic, curious colour comes with a meaning to match: enthusiasm and passion.

ABOUT ROSES

Purple Roses

Burgundy Roses

This unique hue symbolises pride and enchantment. Even better, they’re tied to royalty, which is perfect for your friend who’s obsessed with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s whirlwind romance.

Though it may not be as striking as the classic red rose, this merlot shade is winter-appropriate and represents “unconscious beauty.”

Dark Pink Roses

A light blush hints at grace, but a more intense hue signifies “gratitude and appreciation.”

ABOUT ROSES

Since blue roses aren’t exactly natural, they symbolise mystery and intrigue. A perfect option for a secret admirer, no?

Cream Roses

Rainbow Roses

While the Victorians probably wouldn’t know what to say about these modern creations, maybe take cue from Shakespeare instead: “To paint the lily… is a wasteful and ridiculous excess.”

Don’t be fooled — an off-white rose takes on a different definition than its starker cousin. Ivory indicates both charm and thoughtfuness

CHRISTMAS

TRADITIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD Christmas trees, Santa Claus and gingerbread lattes are all well and good. But with the homogenizing creep of Yuletide customs, travelers might well worry they’ll go to the trouble of getting somewhere new over the holidays only to find it’s just like everywhere else. Not the six places here. Each has its own way of celebrating Christmas, and with the festivities unfolding in plazas, parks and other public places, travelers are free to join right in

Castleton, England

This pretty English village in Derbyshire’s Peak District is known for its walking paths and, high on a hill, the picturesque ruins of a Norman castle. It’s also home to four spectacular caverns bristling with stalagmites and stalactites. On weekends leading up to Christmas two of the caves offer caroling sing-alongs. At Peak Cavern’s evening songfests participants sit inside the yawning entrance to the lead cave — which has great acoustics — to belt out “We Three Kings” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” Treak Cliff Cavern , which holds its candlelit caroling in the afternoon, is where semiprecious Blue John stone, a translucent purple-banded gem, is still mined. Peruse specimens in the gift shop after the singing is over.

Oaxaca, Mexico

Posadas — door-to-door processions that re-enact Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter — and a parade with candlelit paper lanterns fill the streets of this city in southwestern Mexico. And then there is the tradition of the “breaking of the plates,” whereby people buy crispy buñuelos, topped with sugar or syrup, from stands near the cathedral and then smash the ceramic plates to the ground to signify the end of the old year. But the most awe-inspiring custom is the century-old competition known as the Noche de Rábanos (Night of the Radishes) on the evening of Dec. 23.

lights, farmers display elaborate sculptures — nativity scenes, robed kings, musicians — all carved out of the giant radishes grown locally. After the judges name the winner of the sculpture contest, the sky explodes with fireworks.

Rome

Although the larger-than-life nativity scene in St. Peter’s Square is under wraps until Dec. 24, when this year’s still-top-secret version will be unveiled just in time for the Pope’s midnight Mass, you can feast your eyes on the remarkably detailed 18th-century Neapolitan carved-wood crib at the Church of SS. Cosma and Damiano by the main entrance to the Roman Forum, and visit the annual “100 Presepi” exhibition at the Sale del Bramante, Piazza del Popolo, to see crib elements made of everything from coral to chocolate. Or just duck into any church or cathedral you happen by. Want to set up a crèche of your own? Pick up nativity figures at the Piazza Navona Christmas market — along with burlapand-straw depictions of the Italian witch called La Befana, said to fly around on a broomstick at Epiphany, dropping down chimneys to leave candy or lumps of coal.

Jerusalem

In most parts of Israel, where Christians make up about 2 percent of the population, it’s business as usual on Dec. 24 and 25. But in this city where Jesus lived and died, Christmas is joyously celebrated in the Christian quarter of the Old City. Churches decorated with trees conduct nonstop services in many languages (see cicts.org for listings of services), with Jews and Muslims often sitting in. From Jerusalem, many people make the pilgrimage six miles south to Bethlehem, in a West Bank area under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority (Israel and the Palestinian Authority facilitate border passage at this time of year, with passports still required). Marching bands and bagpipers led by Arabian horses weave through the narrow streets to Manger Square, the plaza outside the Basilica of the Nativity, which stands on the grotto where Jesus was born.

tell your children the real Christmas Santa Claus story

Behind today's mythical Santa Claus from the North Pole, is a real saint – St. Nicholas.

How he came to be today's gift-giving jolly figure from the North Pole is a fascinating story by itself

Santa has several aliases, depending on the part of the world you live in. The English call him Father Christmas, the French know him as Père Noël, and Kris Kringle seems be a version of the Christkind, or Christ Child, who leaves treats for good German Lutherans.

In the Netherlands, he arrives in town on a steamboat or horse from Spain.

On the night of December 5, Dutch children put their shoes on the hearth – these days near the central heating duct – hoping that he will fill them with sweet rewards rather than a reprimand for poor behaviour. The Dutch call him Sinterklaas – which has come into American English as ‘Santa Claus’ – short for Sint Nicolaas or St. Nicholas.

St. Nicholas and Santa Claus are historically the same man. But unlike the jolly figure who purportedly flies on a sleigh from the North Pole, the saint came originally from the balmy Mediterranean coast.

WHO WAS ST. NICHOLAS REALLY? As a historian of religions who has written books about ancient saints, I caution against reading accounts of saints’ lives as factual history. However, the earliest stories of St. Nicholas seem to correlate with histories and church documents of the period.

According to these early medieval texts, Nicholas was born around 260 A.D. into a Christian family. His birthplace was near the town of Myra, now called Demre, on the southwest coast of modern Turkey.

At the time, Christianity was illegal under the Roman empire.

He studied to be a priest and spent time in prison for his beliefs. However, after Emperor Constantine legalised Christianity, Nicholas was elected Bishop of Myra.

During his lifetime, he became famous for defending his people against imperial taxes and other forms of oppression. According to the earliest document about Nicholas, from the fifth century, he prevented three loyal generals from unjust execution for treason.

A ninth-century Greek legend claims he revived three scholars who had been murdered and stashed in a pickling tub. He also saved three girls whose povertystricken father wanted to sell them into prostitution.

After his death, people believed that Nicholas continued to work miracles. His burial place, below the floor of his church, became a popular destination for pilgrims who begged Nicholas to relay their petitions to God

ROYAL ROUGE MAGAZINE | 2019 | WWW.ROYALROUGE.CO.ZA

Proof that Nicholas was listening, they believed, was in the “manna” – holy oil or water – that dripped from the tomb. Pilgrims took this manna home in little bottles or used rags to sop up the moisture that dripped from the saint’s tomb in its subterranean crypt. This was a common pilgrimage practice at Christian shrines.

Visitors to the coastal town of Myra spread Nicholas’ fame along sea routes across the Mediterranean. From there, word passed to the Latin West, and upriver to Russia.

Soon, pilgrims from all over Christendom were journeying to Myra to seek the gifts of protection and heaing from the saint, who was said to be especially attentive to children.

ITALIANS STEAL THE BODY

This pilgrimage was disrupted in the 11th century when Seljuk Turks invaded Anatolia. Christians feared that the Muslims who now governed Demre would disregard the saint’s tomb. So, one crew of pious Italian Christians decided to take action.

In 1087, three ships laden with grain set out from Bari, on Italy’s southeast coast, bound for Antioch. However, according to a monk named Nicephorus who wrote immediately after the event, their real mission was to steal St. Nicholas’ body.

In Antioch they heard a rumour that the Venetians too were planning a similar heist. The Barian sailors hastily sold off their grain and headed for Myra in search of St. Nicholas’ church.

Priestly custodians there became suspicious when the sailors asked to

see the saint’s body.

The Barians claimed that the pope had a vision directing him to fetch Nicholas to Italy. When the priests refused, they offered gold for the relics, but the offer “was tossed aside like dung.” Done with arguing, the Barians caught and bound the priests. Suddenly, a phial of manna fell to the pavement and broke. It

l

seemed that St. Nicho as spoke to them: “It is my will that I leave here with you.”

So, the Barians broke through marble floor with picks and hammers. A delicious aroma filled the church as they opened the tomb. They found the bones swimming in a small sea of manna. They carefully wrapped the relics in a silk case brought for the purpose.

Nicephorus describes how they fled to their ship, pursued by outraged priests and a howling crowd of citizens demanding that they “give back the father who has by his protection kept us safe from visible foes.”

Yet the crew made it back to the harbor at Bari, where the townsfolk and clergy processed, singing joyous hymns, to greet the saint.

ST. NICHOLAS GETS A REPUTATION

A new church was built for Nicholas in the court of the governor of Bari. A few years later, Pope Urban II — the one who would preach the First Crusade – formally enshrined the relics of the saint.

The Barians believed that manna continued to ooze from Nicholas’ coffin. And going by the claim on the basilica’s website, the belief persists to this day.

Within a decade of the saint’s arrival in 1087, the Basilica di San Nicola was one of Europe’s most popular pilgrimage destinations. May 9 is still celebrated as the day that Nicholas moved shrines or was “translated.”

For at least five centuries, the region, which includes Bari and its saint, was caught in constant wars for possession of southern Italy. In 1500, Bari fell into the hands of King Ferdinand of Aragon, whose marriage to Queen Isabella of Spain created a global naval power.

Because Nicholas was a patron saint of sailors, Spanish sailors and explorers carried stories of the saint wherever they went: Mexico, the Caribbean, Florida and other ports around the world.

technology has allowed experts to use the bones to reconstruct Nicholas’ face – he looks like an old Greek man with a broad, worn face. He lacks the rosy cheeks and Anglo-Germanic features of modern Christmas decorations, but like the Santa Claus of greeting cards, he was probably bald.

Turkish archaeologists now claim that the Italians stole the wrong body and that Nicholas’ remains never left Demre. They have discovered another sarcophagus dating to the fourth century in the same church, which they claim contains the saint.

Even the Dutch, who rebelled against Catholic Spain and formed a Calvinist republic in 1581, somehow maintained their devotion to Sinterklass. In other parts of Europe, St. Nicholas lost his feast day but his concern for children helped link him to the gift-giving tradition of another December feast day: Christmas.

Meanwhile, historians have suggested that the story of Nicholas’ translation is a fiction purposely created to advertise a new pilgrimage center in the 11th century. Although relic theft was common in the Middle Ages, grave-robbers often made mistakes or lied about the authenticity and source of their bones. Nothing in the shrine at Bari proves that the bones inside belong to the fourth-century Bishop Nicholas.

Still, this holiday season, when you tell your children about Santa Claus, why not include the tale of Santa’s welltraveled bones? And don’t forget the manna, which is believed to still flow in Bari.

HOW TRUE IS THIS STORY? In the 1950s, Italian scientists examined the bones enshrined in the Basilica di San Nicola, seeking evidence of authenticity.

They found the skull and incomplete skeleton of a man, dating to around the fourth century. More recent

Let It Go

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen.

A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the queen.

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.

Couldn’t keep it in, Heaven knows I tried.

Don’t let them in, don’t let them see.

Be the good girl you always have to be.

Conceal don’t feel, don’t let them know.

Well, now they know!

Let it go, let it go!

Can’t hold it back anymore.

Let it go, let it go!

Turn away and slam the door.

I don’t care what they’re going to say.

Let the storm rage on.

The cold never bothered me anyway.

It’s funny how some distance, makes everything seem small.

And the fears that once controlled me, can’t get to me at all It’s time to see what I can do, to test the limits and break through.

No right, no wrong, no rules for me.

I’m free!

Let it go, let it go.

I am one with the wind and sky.

Let it go, let it go.

You’ll never see me cry.

Here I stand, and here I’ll stay.

Let the storm rage on.

My power flurries through the air into the ground.

My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast I’m never going back; the past is in the past!

Let it go, let it go.

And I’ll rise like the break of dawn.

Let it go, let it go That perfect girl is gone Here I stand, in the light of day.

Let the storm rage on!

The cold never bothered me anyway.

Sing-along with the songs from Frozen!

BEST PLACES TO SPEND THE

FESTIVE SEASON in

South Africa This December

The festive season is just around the corner. Which means that you will need to look for a fun and exciting place to spend time with your family. Living in South Africa means that there is a plethora of beautiful places to choose from for your holidays, ranging from stunning game reserves to luxurious spa retreats.

You can choose to spend time in the arid beauty of Kathu in the Northern Cape, taking in the flora and fauna of the desert area or you could head to the beaches of KwaZulu-Natal and swim in the warm Indian Ocean that Durban can be found on. Not sure where to go for your summer vacation? Below are some of the best places to spend the festive season in South Africa.

ROYAL ROUGE MAGAZINE | 2019 | WWW.ROYALROUGE.CO.ZA

TRAVELING

GO ON A SPIRITUAL RETREAT IN MCGREGOR McGregor in the Western Cape is a charming town that is full of unique things to do. Here you will find the Temenos Retreat Centre, the perfect place to go for those who need a spiritual retreat during the hustle and bustle of the end-ofyear holidays.

The gardens in Temenos offer a stunning backdrop for meditation as well as daily yoga classes and guided walks through McGregor’s nature reserves. McGregor is a quiet village and will help those who feel flustered at this time of year as the slower pace allows you to relax and take stock of the year that has past. Be sure to stop off at Temenos Retreat Centre and spend time unwinding and drinking in the scenery.

GO OFF THE BEATEN TRACK IN KATHU Kathu in the Northern Cape is a town that is not often explored but provides stunning scenery of the camel thorn trees it is named after. You might be wondering why you should spend your holidays in an arid town, but the beauty of the land speaks for itself.

For golf enthusiasts, there is the wildly popular Sishen Golf Club which boasts one of the country’s most

breathtaking golf courses.

It is home to the annual Kalahari Classic, making it an ideal stop-off for golfers who want to experience something different. Kathu might be small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in character. Here you are sure to find some family-friendly activities for everyone to enjoy over the holiday period.

BECOME ONE WITH NATURE IN KWA-ZULUNATAL For some of us, there is nothing better than spending time in nature, bonding with our families in the beautiful scenery.

KwaZulu-Natal offers the perfect options for those who love nature. And for those who want to live out their fantasy of living in a treehouse, there are the gorgeous Sycamore Avenue treehouses to relax and unwind in.

KwaZulu-Natal offers game park options such as the Hilltop Camp in the Big Five Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve, the stunning Ithala Game Reserve, the massive Phinda Game reserve and the popular Lion Park in Cato Ridge. The festive season is the perfect opportunity to spend time outdoors with your family, taking in the gorgeous flora and fauna of the South African countryside.

TRAVEL THE LAND IN THE KAROO If you are staying in Kathu in the Northern Cape, you will be able to explore the vast Karoo area. There are many small, quirky towns to stop off in for your family to explore as well as several nature reserves which are full of gorgeous flora and fauna to photograph.

You can visit places such as Namaqualand, famous for its breathtaking display of daisies in August and September or even the Tankwa Karoo, home to Afrika Burn in April. The Karoo is best suited to families who do not mind “roughing it” when they drive or explore, as the towns are spaced far apart and the sun can become very warm at the peak hours of the day. Be sure to pack enough bottled water and sunscreen for everyone.

GO BACK TO BASICS AT THE WILD COAST The Wild Coast is the traditional home of the Xhosa people of South Africa, with two of our past presidents having been born here, namely Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki.

Here you will find a rugged and, well, wild landscape with sparkling rivers that empty into the sea and cliffs that hang over deserted beaches.of Johannesburg.

TRAVELING

You can spend hours lazing on the sandy bays or broaden your knowledge by going diving and exploring the ocean. There are many different ways to spend time at the Wild Coast, and every family member will find something to do that suits their needs and personalities.

SOAK UP THE SUN If there is one thing that everyone knows about South Africa during the holiday season, it’s that it is often warm and sunny.

Which means that you will need to find places that make the most of this sun and spend time with your family soaking it up and enjoying each other’s company.

You could head to McGregor in the Western Cape for a spiritual retreat, go off the beaten track in Kathu and the Karoo or you could opt for a beach vacation in KwaZulu-Natal or the Wild Coast.

Whatever you choose to do, be sure to make special memories along the way.

In seeking out the best holiday resorts in South Africa, a common thread emerges.

These destinations cater to the everyman … which means swimming pools, activities for the whole family, games rooms, playgrounds, and a restaurant or two on site are the universal features. They’re the kind of holiday resorts that give you that salty, sandy, suntan lotion scented feeling of being on leave.

Like a warm fuzziness, mixed with some nostalgia (some of these resorts have been around since before I was born!), these are the kind of places where the biggest decision of the day is whether to base yourself around the pool, in the dam or at the beach. They’re the kind of places where a fleeting holiday romance is as common as forming lifelong friendships; well-rounded holiday hubs where the focus is on family-friendly entertainment and quality time well-spent. After all… isn’t life better in flip flops?
