The Bag Lady

May is just about over and June is knocking on the door. Time has a habit of marching on, regardless of everything and there’s nothing we can do about it but enjoy the ride. But in 12 weeks we’ll be looking forward to welcoming spring day, and that will really be something to celebrate.

Music to your ears

The Fifty Shades of Grey original motion picture soundtrack has some beautiful songs, like Sia’s Salted Wound, Ellie Goulding’s ballad, Love Me Like You Do and Beyoncé’s Haunted. This is a must-have whether you are a Fifty Shades fan or not.

Time for a getaway

Halfway through the year most of us are ready for a weekend away and not having to drive far is the cherry on the top.

The Magaliesberg, only about an hour’s drive away, has some gorgeous B&Bs and self-contained cottages.

If you feel like going further away, a long weekend in Mpumalanga could be for you. Visit Pilgrim’s Rest, where you can enjoy the quaint main street and of course a meal or drink at the Royal Hotel or book in for a few nights. God’s Window is also a sight to see.

Go to Google and check out what special offers are being advertised and enjoy a breakaway from the rat race.

That’s it for this week. Shop till you drop!
