July 2020 - Ballito Umhlanga
Conscious living. Thinking before you speak. Acting with intention. Placing careful thought into the things you do, eat and buy. This month we turn our attention to the art of being mindful. From making small changes like 'meat-free-Mondays' and choosing low or no-alcohol drinks, to listening to positive podcasts that encourage kindness (to yourself and others) and taking time out to care for your body, mind and soul … we are embracing all that is good and healthy.

Remember when tea was just ... well,<br />
tea? Then, hello rooibos. Supertea! It’s<br />
not just for sipping ... it’s great to cook<br />
with and makes wonderful cocktails.<br />
To show how antioxidant-rich rooibos<br />
can enhance dishes, as well as how<br />
versatile it is, celeb foodies Kamini<br />
Pather (MasterChef SA winner) and<br />
well known pastry chef Sebastian<br />
‘Bas’ Newman will be experimenting<br />
with the tea over the next few weeks<br />
in a series of videos that will be<br />
posted on the SA Rooibos Council<br />
Facebook page. Details: facebook.com/<br />
