4 Tips to have the best Easter road trip ever There’s nothing quite like packing your bags and hitting the road for a few days. With Easter holidays coming up, a road trip provides the perfect getaway. Of course, when you head out on the road you’ve got to be sure to make the most of it. Use these four tips to plan the perfect Easter road trip for you and your family.

1 Take the scenic route

2 Create a playlist

Don’t hurry to your destination, no matter how excited you are to get there.

There are so many extraordinary scenic routes to follow in South Africa and you should take advantage of them. There’s no point in going on a road trip if you’re not going to take the time to enjoy the drive. Open the windows and let the fresh air in as you enjoy the view from the open road. However remember not to go too far off the beaten path and if you do, rather hire a 4x4 than trek into the bush with a littly Noddy car.

Music is essential to any road trip.

Of course, it can’t just be any music – it has to be world classroad trip music. And don’t even think about playing album after album or one artist at a time.

You’ve got to mix it up. Spend some time going through your music and put in the effort to create the perfect road trip playlist. There’s nothing quite like singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody as you cruise over a mountain pass. Use the South African road trip playlist on the next page for inspiration to create your own playlist.

3 Stop along the way Don’t be the driver that won’t stop the car unless it’s for an emergency. You’ll find the most spectacular hidden treasures while you’re exploring the open road. You don’t want to miss discovering something truly unique because you’re worrying about arriving on time or getting to your destination as soon as humanly possible. Take some time to explore – you won’t regret it.t.

4 Be prepared for disaster

off to?

Where are we

You already know to fill up on petrol and have your oil and water checked, but there are other safety measures you should put in place. Keep a 5-litre bottle of water in your boot in case of a breakdown. It may seem silly or unnecessary, but imagine breaking down on a deserted road on the hottest day of the year. You should also get the numbers of towing services for wherever you’re going. And,

Getting behind the wheel and heading out on a road trip can be a truly wonderful experience and you should make the most of it.

Preparation time 10 minutes | Cooking time 5 minutes | Serves 4 The cover of this book really got my heart beating – my favourite colour turquoise and the absolute best fruit on earth, the wonderful pomegranate, such a beautiful fruit, filled with little ruby jewels.

When I page through the pages of Mariana’s Country Kitchen, I feel something I can’t explain – almost emotional, reminding me of growing up in my parents’ kitchen and garden. I love this book – it is one of the most beautiful books I have seen in a very long time.

I adore the recipes, love the styling and stories – I’m just in love with this book!!!!!

In 2000, Mariana Esterhuizen and her husband said goodbye to city living and opened a restaurant in the village of Stanford.

Since then, Mariana’s has grown into one of the top eateries in South Africa, attracting foodies from all over. The average wait for a table is three months. The secret? Mariana serves food fresh from her own extensive vegetable, fruit and herb garden, prepared in her own unique way. Her delightful book includes recipes for the restaurant’s top dishes, along with vegetable dishes, classic dishes, and Mariana’s favourite childhood foods, courtesy of her mother.

Top 10 Songs for your Easter Holiday road trip 1. Johnny Cleg – Great Heart Although Johnny Cleg was born a Brit, he is considered one of South Africa’s most celebrated musicians. His song Great Heart from the movie Jock of the Bushveld is just one of many of his songs that echoes within any South African sport stadium and has managed to achieve anthem status with crowds in this country he calls home.

2. Toto – Africa The initial idea for this song came from the band’s vocalist, David Paich. He explains the idea behind the song as “... a white boy who is trying to write a song about Africa, but since he’s never been there, he can only tell what he has seen on TV.“ We think he did a pretty good job imagining what Africa is like.

3. Die Heuwels Fantasties – National Braai Day Anthem The local Cape Town electronic rock band in conjunction with the Soweto Gospel Choir produced this song in 2009 to celebrate the country’s Heritage Day on 24 September. The song’s lyrics echo South Africans through their common social denominator, the braai!

4. Freshly Ground – Do Be Doo The Capetonian Afro-fusion band is probably best known for their feature in the song Waka Waka by Colombian pop star Shakira that was the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Do Be Doo was this band’s first hit single and includes a unique musical style that blends different elements of traditional South African music.

5. Mondoza – Nkalakatha This Sowetan musician strives to give an inspirational message through kwaito.

He uses his music as a way to encourage

MUSSELS WITH TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

young South Africans to achieve their goals. In 2001, his song Nkalakatha won the Song of the Year title at the South African Music Awards.

6. Beatenberg – Feels Like Heaven Although Beaten-berg is a fresh new face in pop music from South Africa, they quickly received international recognition with their song Feels Like Heaven that is a remix favourite in clubs across the world.

7. Miriam Makeba – Click Song Nicknamed as Mama Africa, this famous South African singer and civil rights activist has received Grammy Awards for her beautiful African melodies. This fantastic pick-me-up song celebrates her native tongue in all its glory.

8. Jeremy Loops – Sinner Jeremy Loops, a Cape Town loop-pedal artist, is relatively new on the music scene but became a playlist favorite with his songs that perfectly capture the diversity of South Africa.

9. Karen Zoid – Afrikaners Is Plesierig Afrikaners Is Plesierig is not only a favourite amongst those who speak Afrikaans, but you would even notice other mother-tongue speakers with heads banging to this spiced-up version of an old classic. The alternative Karin Zoid is known as South Africa’s queen of rock, as she so easily charms the crowds with her electric guitar.

10. Mango Groove – Special Star Mango Groove is an 11-member South African Afropop band whose music fuses marabi, kwela and pop music. They have sold more than 700 000 albums in South Africa. This song was dedicated to Spokes Mashiyane, the king of kwela, but is sure to get anyone up and grooving to its delightful beats.

HEALTH & WELLBEING

School run – avoid the morning rush One thing all parents with school-age children can relate to is the challenge of getting them up, fed and off to school in the morning. As the term ticks along, routine gets more lax and getting out of bed becomes less and less appealing. To avoid the daily chaos, put some structure in place – sooner rather than later.

An on-time and organised child experiences less anxiety and stress during the school day. Parents can also avoid additional trips to school and rushed apologies to teachers if they work together with their children to develop a morning routine. Each family has a unique morning routine. As your child’s workload and schedule expands, the skill of creating and sticking to a routine will aid their learning and independence.

Tips for streamlining the morning rush Stay calm and carry on

Lay it out like crime scene

Act preemptively – take a minute to talk to or cuddle your child as they wake up – this may prevent attentionseeking tactics that delay the process later. Similarly, try to remain calm – the more flustered and anxious you are, the more likely your child is to slow down. There will be days when your child is dreading going to school. Show sensitivity to this and you will find that things run more smoothly.

Set out clean clothes, bags and books the night before in a designated spot near the door. Involve your children in packing everything they need the night before, teaching them to be aware of what’s required to fully participate in class and school activities. If your child leans towards forgetfulness, charts and to-do lists can help them learn to keep track of their belongings and responsibilities.

Appoint a rotating Director

Stock up on wholesome, easy-to-make breakfast foods and keep them in accessible places so that children can help themselves. They will practise independence and free up your time. School-age children can stack their dishes in the sink or dishwasher, so make each one responsible for their own mess. It can be the Director’s duty to check that everybody is pulling their weight.

If you have more than one child, rotate the position of morning Director – this person is responsible for making sure everybody gets what needs doing done. Incentives can include picking the music for that morning’s drive. If your children are learning to tell the time, incorporate this into the routine, get them to note increments of ten or fifteen minutes.

Did good carbs get a bad rap?

Amidst the proliferation of food fads and eating plans that rose to popularity in the past year, it’s hard to tell what’s up and what’s down. One food group that got an unfairly bad rap in 2015 and deserves a second chance?

Carbohydrates.

Incorporating the right kinds of starchy foods into your diet is consistent with consuming fewer calories and, as a result, achieving sustainable weight loss. In fact, the vitamins and minerals as well as filling fibre found in carbohydrates might just be the answer to staving off energy dips and unnecessary snacking, staying alert during the school or work day, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Leading nutritional experts suggest it’s the excessive consumption of refined, fatty carbohydrates like chips and oily crackers that are more likely to contribute towards weight gain. The right kinds of carbohydrates, however, can actually assist in keeping off the extra kilos, by increasing the resting metabolic rate (RMR) of the body, which in turn burns more calories.

Good carbohydrates are also affordable, versatile and easy to prepare. If you’d like to introduce more wholesome carbohydrates into your meals while following a healthy eating plan, here’s a round-up of the top five carbohydrates for weight loss:

Wholewheat pasta This versatile ingredient is high in fibre for digestive health. It’s bulkier than white pasta, which makes it super filling, so you don’t have to eat as much and you’ll stay fuller for longer after eating. This means you won’t snack in-between meals. One serving (one cup) also has around 23% of your required daily fibre intake and 16% of the required daily protein intake.

Low GI and low GL bread With our fast-paced, high-energy lifestyles, there’s a reason bread is the go-to carbohydrate of choice – it’s nutritious, requires little preparation and is quick to eat.

Choose loaves that have low GI for slow-release energy and low GL for low impact on blood sugar levels. Also opt for bread that’s high in fibre for digestive health, like low GI brown bread, low GI crushed wheat brown bread or low GI white bread.

Sweet potatoes These little gems have quickly risen to superfood status and for good reason. They’re a great source of vitamin B, vitamin C and fibre. They’re also linked to boosted collagen production, which helps fight the signs of aging.

Brown rice A healthier version, brown rice still has the hull and bran on each rice grain, giving it more fibre. It’s rich in magnesium and potassium, and keeps blood sugar levels stable.

Brown rice has also been linked to a reduction in weight carried around the middle of the body, because it’s low in calories, but has a high fibre and water content.

Barley This ancient grain is very low in calories, and contains fibre and amino acids that help boost weight loss. Barley is super affordable and a great way to bulk up soups and stews (and increase their fibre content).

10 Apps to make your kids love studying With the academic year in full swing, learners throughout the country are starting to take stock of the academic mountain they need to climb in the months to come.

In 2016, this mountain has become much easier to scale, thanks to some fantastic applications developed to make the mastering of schoolwork and organising one’s life much easier.

There are thousands of digital applications that can improve the study experience and lead to better results.

These apps assist students and instructors to write assignments and notes, plan and complete lessons and projects, avoid distractions, and revise ahead of exams.

Finding and evaluating apps could be a frustrating exercise, because there are so many. These are some recommended tried-and-tested apps to get you started to digitise your learning experience.
