Before Peter became Pan & before Alice went to Wonderland ... 

In this imaginative origin story of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland - 

eight-year-old Alice, her mischievous brother Peter and their brilliant 

older sibling David let their imaginations run wild one blissful summer 

in the English countryside. Encouraged by their parents, the kids’ 

make-believe tea parties, sword fights and pirate ship adventures 

come to an abrupt end when tragedy strikes. Peter, eager to prove 

himself a hero to his grief-stricken and financially-struggling parents, 

journeys with Alice to London, where they try to sell a treasured 

heirloom to a sinister pawnshop owner. Returning home, Alice seeks 

temporary refuge in a wondrous rabbit hole while Peter enters a 

magical realm as leader of the Lost Boys. Don’t miss Come Away,

Romance. Friendship. Joy. And the possibility of happy endings. What more do you want in 

a feel-good read? In the latest Katie Fforde (love her) release, Lizzie’s mother is keen for her 

to have A Wedding in the Country, to a suitable chap chosen, obviously, by mum. And to 

learn how to be a ‘good wife’, she’s sent off to cookery school in London. It’s 1963 … and 

London is swinging! Lizzie cuts her hair, buys a mini dress and moves in with two great 

friends. All of her mum’s plans are forgotten. She’s going to have fun … even if that entails 

falling in love with someone who appears to be engaged to someone else. The perfect 

read for a lazy Easter weekend. • Dodging doctor’s orders, 17-year-old Lenni, who’s living 

in the terminal ward, joins an art class where she bumps into fellow hospital patient 

Margot, a rebel-hearted 83-year-old from the next ward. Their bond is instant as they 

realise that together they have lived an astonishing one hundred years. To celebrate 

their shared century, they decide to paint their life stories … of growing old and staying 

young, of giving joy and receiving kindness, of losing love and finding the person who 

is everything. Fiercely alive, disarmingly funny and brimming with tenderness, The One 

Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin unwraps the extraordinary 

gift of life, even when it is about to be taken away, and revels in our infinite capacity for 

friendship and love when we need them most. Keep the tissues at your side. • Was there 

a single book club in the late 1990s which didn’t have The Notebook on the must-read 

list? Impossible. And now, 25 years after its first release, Nicholas Sparks’ love story to 

end all love stories is being released. It’s the story of Noah Calhoun, who returns from 

war and, in an attempt to escape the ghosts of battle, sets his mind and his body to 

restoring an old plantation home to its former beauty. But he’s haunted by memories of 

the beautiful Allie, who he’d met years before … a girl who stole his heart at the funfair, 

whose parents didn’t approve, a girl he wrote to every day for a year. When she turns up 

on his doorstep, he has a chance to win her back. Small problem … she’s engaged to 

someone else. You’ve seen the movie … you may have read the book … but read it (and 

weep) again anyway. It’s not called a classic heartbreaker for nothing. And to celebrate 

the 25th anniversary edition, we’ve got a special giveaway … three people can win a 

copy of The Notebook plus a case of Fat bastard Rosé … your next book club 

get-together’s going to be very special indeed. To enter, visit Get It National Magazines 

on Facebook and enter on The Notebook’s post.

Forget the romance … we want an 

adrenaline rush. And oh boy, do we have 

that in these thrilling reads 

Oh … we do love a Stephen Leather thriller. And if we put aside the fact that 

it centres around billionaire and big game hunter Jon van der Sandt (the book 

opens with him killing a massive bull elephant in Botswana), this is one hell of 

a read. Van der Sandt is seeking revenge – while he’s shooting big game, his 

family is holidaying at a luxury beach resort, where they’re killed by jihadist 

terrorists. Van der Sandt wants vengeance, and he’s rich enough to arrange it. 

He sends in a team of skilled ex-soldiers to bring the terrorists to him … but in 

a case of mistaken identity, British doctor Raj Patel is taken hostage too. He’s 

in war-torn Syria to treat the injured, and is only in the terrorist camp to help 

some men who were hurt in an accidental explosion. Fortunately, the doctor 

was trained as a soldier, and Van der Sandt gets more than he bargained for 

when he kicks off his revenge hunting spree. With more than 40 books under 

his belt, Leather’s not slowing down … The Hunting is a thrill-a-minute. • Allie 

Reynolds is a former freestyle snowboarder, who spent five winters racing down 

the mountains of France, Switzerland, Austria, and Canada. She’s taken her love 

of snowboarding and made it the focus of her exciting debut novel, Shiver. A 

dangerous natural environment, hugely competitive people, mind games and 

sabotage make for a thrilling sport … and read. Five friends – all ex competitors, 

who haven’t seen each other for a decade – meet for an out-of-season reunion 

in a French Alps resort. But an ice-breaking game reveals they don’t really know 

who arranged the reunion, or why. Things turn menacing really quickly … and it 

appears all have secrets they’d rather not share from their time as competitors. 

Including one involving murder. Loads of snowboard jargon, plenty of 

suspense. • Another fave (this is turning out to be a smashingly good month for 

us) … Gregg Hurwitz, and his hero character Evan Smoak, aka Orphan X. Evan’s 

a foster home child, trained off-the-books as a government assassin. He’s been 

forced into retirement but then gets an urgent plea from someone unexpected. 

His mother needs help protecting a man who’s in the wrong place at the wrong 

time. Running from an assassination team, he has no safe place to hide. Evan, 

it appears, is his only hope. That’s until the secret group catches on to what 

Evan is doing … and now Evan’s life is on the line, too. Prodigal Son is another 

gripping thriller you can. not. put. down. 

A missing bride. A blood-splattered 

wedding dress. A guest list of 

A-list celebrities. And a TV crew 

documenting every extravagant detail. 

Bring in the NYPD’s top team. James 

Patterson and Marshall Karp’s NYPD 

Red 6 – the sixth book in the series 

– sees a bride kidnapped from her 

dressing room. Fortunately, Detective 

Kylie MacDonald and her plus-one, 

Detective Zach Jordan, are guests, so 

they’re right there in the thick of all the 

drama. It’s all smart, fast writing with 

loads of twists and turns – exactly what 

keeps Patterson fans returning again 

and again, making sure he stays on the 

best-selling lists worldwide.

Wish list 

The scoop on all things nice this April 

Natural is best 

Natural Elixir, a non-alcoholic health tonic, 

is loaded with lemon, turmeric, ginger, garlic, 

cinnamon, chaga mushroom, cayenne pepper, 

apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and highly 

charged water. All 10 ingredients improve your 

immune system and help restore good gut 

health. It is a natural anti-inflammatory tonic 

with powerful antioxidants, allowing optimum 

balance. This immune booster directly 

facilitates weight-loss, a healthy metabolism, 

improved well-being and can potentially 

relieve chronic illness and pain linked to 

inflammation. Available from Gin & Co at R249 

for 750ml. Details: gincompany.co.za. 

An elegant Bordeaux-style white 

If you’re looking for a fine wine this month, you won’t do much better 

than the newly released Constantia Glen TWO 2019, an elegant 

white Bordeaux-style blend from the top-tier, family-owned Constantia 

boutique wine estate. This vintage has already garnered rave reviews 

from leading local and international wine commentators. And no 

wonder. It’s a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (67 per cent), which lends acidity 

and backbone, and Sémillon (33 per cent) which contributes to the waxy 

weight, richness and texture. Winemaker Justin van Wyk suggests pairing 

this with dishes like grilled kingklip with salsa verde, or lightly seared 

green asparagus and buffalo mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto. It would 

also be great with oak-smoked trout with dill and lemon crème fraiche 

and a cucumber pickle. Constantia Glen TWO 2019 is available at a cellar 

door price of R290, buy online at constantiaglen.com

on a chain of your choosing. It’s a 

really lovely keepsake. From R7410.

More than just a scrunchie 

It’s not news that the scrunchie trend is back. And we love it! But there 

is a new accessory that’s not only useful in tying back your hair but that 

can protect your drink too. Drinkerbell is a scrunchie-cum-drink cover 

– here’s how it works… Wear your Drinkerbell scrunchie in your hair – 

or around your wrist (so trendy). When you’re out and having a (socially 

distanced) drink, simply pop open the press stud on the scrunchie and 

pull out the attached liquid-resistant drink cover and silicone straw. 

Then, feed the straw through the eyelet in the drinks cover and stretch 

the scrunchie around the stem or base of the glass (it fits glasses of 

various sizes and styles). Place the drinks cover over the rim of the glass 

and voila, your drink’s protected from spiking, it’s fashionable – they 

come in lovely patterns, colours and designs – and you’ll never mix it 

up with someone else’s. R145. Details: drinkerbell.co.za 


CRUNCH TIME 

Challenges. Rewards (cheesecake, anyone?). Inspiration. We chat with Carmen Roberts, 

a biokineticist who loves to transform people, one by one. 

Text: RIALIEN FURSTENBERG. • Photographer: JACO BOTHMA. • Make-up & hair: ANTOINETTE DE BEER. Venue: ANA-PAULAS COFFEE SHOP. 

Indulging in a slice of cheesecake at 

one of her fave coffee shops. Carmen 

Roberts is not one bit hesitant to 

enjoy the sweeter things in life. And 

that is exactly what makes her so 

relatable. Yes, you can have dessert 

and still be healthy. Best. News. Ever. 

But then ... training time, and then 

she puts her game face on. A little bit 

like a drill sergeant, but in the nicest 

possible way. Carmen’s journey to 

the fitness industry kicked off in 

primary school. She literally did every 

single sport in school she possible 

could, including cricket and shooting. 

So living an active lifestyle comes 

as natural as breathing to her. She 

studied physiotherapy but quickly 

realised the clinical setup is not quite 

for her. So when a psychometric test 

suggested Biokinetics, she was all 

in. Today, Carmen is the owner of 

the popular and successful Wellness 

Evolution Centre, which includes her 

biokinetics practice. 

How do you balance dessert 

and fitness? 

My motto is not restricting but rather 

understanding lifestyle behaviours 

in moderation. There is a place for a 

perfect routine when your mind is 

ready for it, but there also comes a 

time when you need to understand 

that if you are at a wedding, a braai, 

or a social gathering, a bowl of ice 

cream is okay! That part of my job is 

my ultimate fulfilment because I know 

most people either commit fully for 

a certain period, then fall off the bus 

again when it comes to nutrition and 

exercise. The yo-yo lifestyle! It’s hard for 

people to find a ‘happy medium’! To 

help people understand moderation is 

so rewarding. It takes time to get there 

mentally, but it’s worth it when I see 

the psychological change within them. 


What do you specialise in? 

Back rehabilitation ... because it makes 

so much sense to me that people 

need to take care of their backs for 

ultimate health and vitality. Also, knee 

rehabilitation. I had a very serious ski 

injury, and thought I would not be able 

to walk properly or train ever again. 

After a long journey, two operations, 

being on a movement machine (CPM) 

six hours a day for three weeks, and 

doing my own proper rehabilitation, 

I have a huge passion and 

understanding for that specific joint. 

Although, my ultimate speciality 

is body transformations. I like to 

transform people by changing holistic 

lifestyle behaviours (eating, exercise, 

self-belief ) according to their own 

capabilities, age and needs. I love to 

transform people from the inside out. 

Your self-beliefs will manifest in your 

daily routines and behaviour. There 

is a misconception that exercise = 

suffering. If you understand the body 

and movement, you can strengthen, 

tone, rehabilitate and transform so 

much without suffering. Yes, it is an 

effort, but you don’t need to ‘die’ to 

get results. 

What has been your 

greatest challenge? 

I was in a few toxic relationships, and 

relationships with addicts ... You lose 

so much of yourself; you can die 

emotionally and starve your dreams. 

I decided to fight hard for me as a 

unique and worthy woman, and an 

individual with God-given purpose. 

You need to make a very deliberate 

and conscious choice to stand up, 

move forward and live victoriously. This 

definitely contributed to my passion 

for individual holistic transformations. 

I know the journey and how hard it 

can feel to change your life for good! 

In the transformation environment 

it is essential to be empathic and 

understanding, and I can relate to 

so many people. I know today that 

it is indeed possible to turn your 

life around! 

You are a shopaholic. Right? 

For sure! I love to go to the Freddy 

shop, simply because I love the 

comfort of their jeans. I absolutely love 

a nice pair of running shoes, elegant 

dresses and jewellery. Shopping relaxes 

me and definitely feels like my reward 

after a week of working very hard! 

You have a huge passion for animals? 

I bought a house from an Italian, so all my cats have Italian names – Birba, 

Kutchelong, Pascolina, Melvis and Chichita. They are very old and tame, and 

love people and cuddles. My four dogs were all homeless and rescues. Rose is 

adorable and everyone just wants her when they see her. Shadow was abused 

and I adopted him from the SPCA. Luke I adopted from the Hartbeespoort Animal 

Welfare Society, and Percy … he just pitched up thin and hungry. I started to feed 

him and later he started sleeping in my garden. Then I took him in. My rabbits 

came from when I was much younger, and the skinny pigs were just so adorable 

when I saw them at the pet shop. I had to have them. I would love to sleep in the 

same room as my skinny pigs but they are very loud and talkative ... 

Why can’t you start your day without 

a cappuccino? 

I think cappuccino is my ‘dummy’. 

It literally uplifts me and makes me 

emotionally and physically ready for 

the day. I’ve had some of the best 

chats with a cappuccino in my hand. 

So, every single day at 7.30am, one 

of my clients drives to KFC to get my 

daily fix (spoilt!). On weekends, I go to 

different restaurants or coffee houses 

for my cappuccino experience. 

What inspires you? 

People who struggle or even feel weak. 

I am not a trainer for those wanting to 

be ‘perfect’. I get inspired by stories of 

how you overcame, how you struggled 

and achieved, how you fell, and got 

up again. 

What do people not know about 

you? I have a Unisa Grade 6 in piano, 

and also gave piano lessons while 

studying. And I love, love, love Latin 

American dancing. I always do a 

show dance for my transformers at my 

gala evening.

you can try at home. 

Carmen’s butternut & chickpea salad: 

Serves 3-4 

If you want a healthier but different salad to add to your protein portion, this 

will be a great option. 

You’ll need: 5ml ground coriander; 5ml paprika; 5ml dried origanum; 5ml 

ground cumin; ½ tsp curry powder; 45ml olive/ canola oil; ½ tsp salt; 30ml 

lemon juice; 45ml water; 500g butternut, peeled and cubed; black pepper to 

taste; 400g chickpeas, drained; spinach leaves or handfuls of lettuce leaves, 

roughly torn 

How to: 

Preheat oven to 180°C. Cook butternut on the stove in water for 15 minutes. 

Place spices, half the oil, salt, lemon juice and water in a large bowl. Add 

cooked butternut and mix well. 

Season with black pepper and place in an oven dish. Roast for 30 minutes or 

until butternut is tender. Allow to cool. Stir in chickpeas. 

Spoon onto spinach or lettuce and drizzle with remaining oil. Enjoy as a salad. 

Serve with oven-baked or roasted fish, chicken or meat. Fill your plate with 

green veggies or a tomato salad. You can also add feta cheese to the salad.

Makeover magic 

With a twinkle and a flick, fairy godmother, Lana Joubert transformed the winner of our 

makeover competition into a woman who oozes confidence. Happy sigh ... See for yourself! 

Krugersdorp North’s Angelique Botha was selected from 

hundreds of entries for a marvellous makeover by makeover 

specialist, Lana Joubert. 

‘Each one of the entries was deserving, but Anqelique’s stood 

out for me as I could see the hurt in her eyes. Only after selecting 

her as the winner, I was told that her family’s home was severely 

damaged by a flood in January. Well, this confirmed my decision.’ 

A quick recap of what Angelique has won – full head tint/ foils, 

cut and styling, Goldwell in-salon treatment, transformation 

make-up, a Beauty Box, and an in-dept image consultation. Two 

anonymous donors also gifted her a Carries clothing voucher. 

Angelique, 47, is a stay-at-home-mom with two daughters, 

aged 18 and 13. ‘I entered because I realised I was in desperate 

need of a new look. Apart from this, I’ve been following Lana on 

social media for quite a while and was really impressed by the 

makeovers she has done. I did not think for one moment that I 

might win, but deep in my heart I wished for a miracle.’ 

Heavy rain and flooding caused severe damage to Angelique’s 

home. Water gushed in from everywhere and they had to 

evacuate. At one stage the water was about 1,5 metres deep, 

which resulted in their cars floating in the garage, furniture 

floating around, cupboards collapsing, and appliances, clothes, 

photographs and so much more being destroyed. 

‘When I heard that I had won, I couldn’t believe it. Only when I 

stepped into Lana’s salon everything became a reality. 

‘The end result took my breath away. Having received so many 

compliments, some even saying that I look years younger, 

I’m definitely going to stick to all the tips and tricks Lana so 

generously shared.’ 

Before 

After 

The transformation: 

Hair: Warm copper brown colour with 

finely weaved golden highlights 

The style: A-line bob. Angelique has 

very fine hair, so I aimed to give her a 

hairstyle that would create the illusion 

of fuller and thicker hair that would 

still be easy to maintain. She can style 

it with loose curls, flick it out, wear it 

straight or blow-dry it with volume. 

For fine hair, layers are not always the 

answer. It mostly rejects volume and it 

can appear limp and jagged when it 

lies flat with all the layering. Rather opt 

for a long bob or a classic one-length 

bob cut. Shoulder-length hair is ideal. 

For 

behind-thescenes 

photos 

and more great 

tips from Lana, visit 

getitmagazine. 

co.za/joburgwest 

Make-up: She has a warm skin tone 

and a slight yellow undertone with 

fine freckles. So earthy, rich and warm 

tones like copper, tans, red-brown, 

chocolate, gold and burgundy work 

best for Angelique. She should avoid 

cool make-up colours like pink, grey, 

purple, green, blue, berries, etc. 

Colour tips: Angelique’s eyes and skin 

reflect autumn colours. She can wear a 

wide range of colours with confidence. 

Mustard, rusty brown, olive green, tan, 

burgundy, burnt orange, maroon, 

teal, cream, warm grey and muted 

gold complements her perfectly. She 

should avoid colours that are too 

bright or too dark.

It’s now almost second nature 

to sanitise, wear a mask and 

wash our hands as much as 

possible. Another way we 

ensure we stay as safe as 

possible is to rinse our 

groceries as soon as we 

get home from the store 

… particularly fruit and 

veggies that have been 

lying out in the open. 

And yes, we know the 

risk of catching anything 

from these items is low, 

but we’re all for better 

safe than sorry! Plus, 

there are all those toxic 

pesticides, fungicides 

and chemicals to think 

about. So we’ve got 

a bottle of Earthsap 

Fruit and Vegetable 

Wash next to the 

kitchen sink. Proven to 

be 300 per cent more 

effective than water, a 

quick rinse and we’re 

happy. R59 from Spar

A FORTNIGHT OF 

FAB FITNESS HACKS 

Always finding a reason not to exercise? Well, bye-bye excuses. These clever 

fitness hacks by Robyn Lawrenson will help you to easily fit fat-burning moves 

into your daily routine. Add one a day until you’re doing them all! 

DAY 1 

TEN BURPEES FOR THE SWEAR JAR 

Nevermind R5 every time you swear, 

do a round of burpees and you’ll 

flatten the swearing curve and your 

waistline real quick. Stand with your 

feet shoulder-width apart and your 

arms by your sides. Lower into a squat 

position and place your hands on the 

floor. Kick or step your legs back into a 

plank position. Jump or step your legs 

forward to return to a squat position. 

Then return to the standing position. 

DAY 4 

WALK AND TALK 

You know the saying, think on your 

feet? It’s been proven we get better 

ideas while we’re moving. So next 

time you have a meeting, take it 

while going on a walk. Or, instead of 

sitting down, try standing up while 

you talk on the phone – or better 

yet, try pacing around to get some 

extra steps. Standing while talking on 

the phone can also help to improve 

blood flow throughout the body and 

can help to boost energy too. 

DAY 5 

TAKE THE STAIRS 

It boosts heart health, builds 

endurance, improves muscle strength 

and mental health. Plus, taking the 

stairs is way more Covid-19 friendly. 

DAY 6 

MAKE YOUR DAILY STEP GOAL 

Download a real page-turner 

audiobook on your phone and 

make it a rule to only listen to it 

when you walk. 


DAY 2 

WALL PUSH-UPS 

There are certainly a lot of empty walls that could be used for some extra activity, 

go ahead and try a wall push-up. It won’t make you too sweaty, but it will help 

to activate muscles in your chest and back that can help to ramp up the calorie 

burn. Start with 10 repetitions. 

DAY 3 

PLANK DURING COMMERCIALS 

When a TV ad comes on, get off the couch and do a plank position. Use your 

couch to prop up your feet, holding up your weight on your hands. Keep your 

back straight, and hold. Aim to keep the position for 30 seconds. 

Walk away a winner! 

Running has just gone so much more high tech. No longer can you just pop 

on any old trainers, do a couple of stretches and hit the road. Nope, now 

it’s all apps and traction and strategic support. Which is all you get – and so 

much more – when you invest in a pair of Under Armour Trainers. These are 

from the Infinite 3 range … and are aimed at pro distance runners wanting 

energy return and efficiency. And that, apparently, is exactly what UA HOVR 

Infinite 3 delivers. That and real-time Form Coaching. So before you go on 

your morning jog … read this. You can connect your shoes to UA MapMyRun 

for personalised tips to help you run better. This app tracks and analyses your 

running metrics to help make you a better runner. 

We’ve got an R3000 voucher from Under Armour to give away. To enter, simply like 

us on Facebook, Get It National Magazine, find our fitness post and tag a fellow 

jogger. Entries close April 19.

Try this! 

Ease sore muscles with 

ginger. If you’ve overdone it 

or your muscles are super sore, 

ginger will go a long way to help 

ease the pain. Ginger has great antiinflammatory 

properties and eating 

just 2 grams of ginger a day can help 

reduce post-workout muscle soreness 

by 25 per cent! Ginger also helps 

relieve pain and can be added to 

everything from stir-fries to 

juices, tea, and smoothies 

DAY 7 

START SLOWLY 

Start exercising by running for just 

one minute. Add another minute 

each day. With this method, you’ll be 

running for a full 30 minutes by the 

end of the month. 

DAY 8 

COACH POTATO NO MORE 

We spend so much time watching 

television and sitting on the couch, 

so why not get some exercise while 

doing this? Try 10 traditional squats or 

couch squats. Sit on the edge of the 

couch and stand up, squeezing your 

glutes each time. 

DAY 9 

USE EVERYDAY OBJECTS 

AS WEIGHTS 

You don’t need to splurge on 

dumbbells and kettlebells to work 

out. See that full water bottle over 

there? Pick it up. Get a good bicep 

workout in by doing 20 lifts per arm. 

Repeat as often as you like. 

DAY 10 

DON’T DRAG THOSE FEET 

Burn some calories while you clean 

your home or do your grocery 

shopping by wearing ankle weights. 

The added resistance requires you to 

put more effort into your movement. 

DAY 11 

USE AN EXERCISE BALL INSTEAD 

OF A CHAIR AT YOUR DESK 

Make exercise balls your new favourite 

piece of office furniture. Sitting on 

one forces you to engage your core 

because if you don’t, you’ll fall off! 

DAY 12 

BLOW-DRY YOUR HAIR WITH MAXIMUM EFFORT 

Add wrist weights to your arms before you start blow-drying your hair or using 

your flat iron – your arms will love the extra workout. Leave them on while you 

do your makeup, and you could add an extra 30 minutes of total workout time to 

your day! 

DAY 13 

CORE IN THE QUEUE 

The next time you’re waiting in line (which is happening more and more these 

days), stand up straight and tense your core muscles. Hold for 10 seconds and 

release. Repeat until you get to the till. 

AND … WELL DONE, DAY 14 

PLIÉ FOR YOUR DINNER 

While you wait for the food to cook, do pliés, using the kitchen counter as your 

barre. With feet hip-distance apart and turned slightly outward, keep your back 

straight while you bend your knees slowly, moving straight down and straight back 

up. You shouldn’t feel tension in your hips, knees and ankles.

& 

We’ve mastered meat-free Mondays. Now let’s take it a step further. 

LOVE PLANTS 

Embracing a plant-based lifestyle 

The daughter of a goat farmer, Tammy Fry saw 

how, day after day, the goats were sold for 

slaughter. But she realised that if she named 

the individual goats, they crossed the line from 

being ‘units of currency’ to pets. So she started 

naming as many of them as possible. 

The same goat farmer, many years later, swore 

off meat forever, and in the early 1990s, he and 

his wife started The Fry Family Food Company, 

known internationally for its range of plantbased 

food products. 

Tammy, recently named as one of the top eight 

women changing the world through food, 

and founder of Meat-Free Mondays here and 

in Australia, knows all too well the challenges 

of choosing a plant-based lifestyle … and 

discusses them, and the solutions, in her first 

book Made with Love and Plants. More than a 

recipe book, it’s full of really useful, thoughtful 

information … from why you should choose a 

plant-based diet to transitioning (don’t go cold 

turkey!), answering questions – where do you 

get your iron (beans and legumes and broccoli 

and dates), and giving essential tips (navigating 

the supermarket and decoding labels). 

There are nearly six dozen really great recipes, 

that quickly dispel the idea that this diet is 

boring or restrictive. 

There’s a breakfast carrot cake (Carrot cake. 

Breakfast. Swoon) and glazed, grilled fruit 

skewers with chocolate sauce to get your 

day off to a sweet start, the prettiest, tastiest 

Vietnamese rice paper rolls with hoisin-peanut 

dipping sauce or loaded homemade nachos 

for midday Summer snacking, and a West 

African coconut curry that’ll have you dishing 

up seconds in no time. 

Tammy suggests you milk coconuts, not cows, 

and so there are recipes for rice, coconut, 

almond and cashew nut milk, and a whole 

section on treats and lunch box ideas. 

If you’re thinking of going the plant-based 

route, we bet this book will sway you; if not, it’s 

worth a buy for recipes for you to keep meatfree 

Mondays interesting. Simple. Delicious. 

Healthy. All you want, really. For more from 

Tammy, visit seed-blog.com. 

Vanilla nice cream with cookie crumble 

This one makes the nice list. Nice to eat, nice to make, nice ’n’ healthy too. 

You’ll need: 3 frozen bananas; 1 Tbsp maple syrup; a few drops natural 

vanilla extract; 1 Tbsp cocoa powder (optional for making chocolate ice 

cream); quarter cup coconut milk (if necessary); crunchy oat and choc 

cookies (recipe in the book, or use any other vegan cookie, crumbled) 

To make: Add the bananas, maple syrup, vanilla extract and cocoa 

powder (if using) to a powerful blender and blitz until smooth. Add 

small amounts of the coconut milk, if required for a smoother texture. 

Serve in a bowl or a cone, topped with crumbled cookies.

Breakfast carrot cake 

Not all puddings are equal. Take this one for example, 

technically a cake, eaten at breakfast, no refined sugar, 

no dairy and nutrition in every spoonful. Breakfast 

doesn’t get better than this. This makes enough for two. 

You’ll need: 1 cup each of coconut milk, water and rolled 

oats; 2 cups peeled and grated carrots; 2 bananas, 

mashed; 4 Tbsp raisins or dried goji berries; 2 Tbsp 

maple syrup; 1 tsp each of ground cinnamon and vanilla 

spice/essence; half a tsp each of ground ginger, ground 

nutmeg, ground cloves; and half a cup coconut cream 

For the toppings, you’ll need: shaved coconut; maple syrup 

(to taste); and pineapple pieces 

To make: In a small pot over a medium heat, bring the 

milk and water to a simmer. Add the oats and bring to a 

slow boil, then reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 

3 minutes. Add the grated carrots, bananas and raisins or 

berries, as well as the maple syrup, vanilla essence and 

spices. Cook for another three to five minutes. Pour in 

the coconut cream and stir well, allowing to simmer for 

approximately five minutes until the liquid is absorbed 

and a thick consistency is reached. Add the toppings 

and decorate as desired. Enjoy the ‘cake‘ warm. 

We admit. We’ve 

taken the three 

sweetest options 

from Made with 

Love and Plants. 

But trust us … 

there are loads 

of savoury dishes 

that are equally 

as delicious. 

Yum. Yum. Yum. 

Penguin, R290. 

Cinnamon not only tastes amazing when added to 

desserts, smoothies and savoury dishes, but it’s one of 

nature’s superfoods. This spice has powerful medicinal 

benefits as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. 

Just a quarter teaspoon a day can lower the risk of some 

chronic diseases. Tammy admits she might be trying 

too hard here to make muffins look like health food. 

But who could blame her? These cinnamon and walnut 

muffins take less than half an hour from start to finish 

… you’re meant to leave them to cool on a rack before 

eating. We didn’t. Get the recipe on getitmagazine.co.za. 

You’re welcome. 


Reflect your style 

There are so many great reasons to decorate e 

with mirrors. They instantly brighten and 

open up a space, they reflect light, they 

work in every room of your home. And if 

you’re nervous about committing to art, 

they’re a safe, timeless option. 

And they’re so versatile. Hang them on the 

wall, prop one up on the sideboard, or leave e 

it on the floor leaning against the wall. 

When decorating with mirrors, the most 

important factor to take into account is 

what it’s going to reflect. Facing a window 

is our first choice – a great way to bring the 

outdoors in, and to add instant light. Similarly, 

if there’s something in the room you love 

and would like to emphasise – a gorgeous 

artwork, a statement piece of furniture – 

then simply position the mirror to reflect 

it. Double the joy. But the same principle 

applies when it’s facing something not 

quite as attractive … so beware of placing it 

opposite a boring wall or unattractive view. 

Mirrors are perfect to give the room a focal 

point. Above a mantle or sideboard 

or the entrance hall table, all 

you need to do is pop a sconce 

or a piece of art on either side 

(measured to within an inch of 

their lives … exact symmetry is 

everything), and voila. 

Equally eye-catching is a wall of 

different mirrors – various sizes, 

shapes and finishes – providing 

they are all the same style, it’s an 

exceptional focus piece. Again, 

precise measurement is essential, 

and the rooms need to be fairly 

uncluttered, or it may all get 

a bit much! 

In the case of mirrors, size really does 

count. So think big, bigger, best. And 

don’t be nervous to go oversize in 

small rooms or spaces, either … they 

create the illusion of space, so a small 

room will appear to be much larger. 

Long, full-length mirrors are also 

great left on the floor and leaning 

against the wall … stylish, elegant 

and useful. Great in a bedroom, or in 

a skinny passageway. 

If not being hung – or leaned – at 

a particular height for a specific 

reason, hang them as you would 

artwork … at eye level. 

Modern, classic and antique, 

crystal-clear glass or a smoky, 

moody option … mirrors can add 

style, or create one. 

Understated, 

classic, useful, 

this leaning 

mirror is a 

marvellous 

bedroom 

option.

PLANT 

Indoor plant of the month 

We’re massive fans of the white anthurium, a lovely Easter 

flower. As the blooms age, they often develop a soft green 

tinge … really pretty. The combination of lush green 

leaves and glossy white ‘flowers’ – which are in fact really 

coloured leaves – lighten and brighten a room, improving 

and purifying the air as well. Anthuriums thrive anywhere 

with good light and a little water once a week. A good 

plant for beginners, they forgive neglect and are almost 

indestructible. And if you feed them with liquid fertiliser 

once a month, except in winter, you’ll encourage them to 

keep on pushing out flowers. Details: lvgplants.co.za 


We’re planting… 

Osteospermum Serenity Coral Magic is a really wonderful, 

neat, compact plant, that’s always covered in flowers and is great 

for tucking into the front of a border, and is a breathtakingly 

beautiful patio plant. With its soft coral blooms with a glowing 

inner ring and deeper pink or lilac centre, they’re at their best in 

Autumn … and as the flowers mature they change colour, hence 

the ‘magic’. We like it alone, but if you want some added colour, it 

combines well with Osteospermum Blue Eyed Beauty – which 

has a purplish-blue centre and yellow petals. Plant these in a 

sunny spot, in well-composted soil that drains well. They are not 

water-hungry but will bloom better if the soil is kept moist while 

they are flowering. They are easy to grow, reliable and vigorous … 

flowering a little less during the very cold months but bouncing 

back with a great Spring flush. Details: ballstraathof.co.za 

Eat your greens… 

No space? No excuse. Baby cabbages are an excellent crop 

for small gardens, or for growing in containers. Baby Green 

Gonzales and Baby Red Primero are minis from Kirchhoffs, that 

produce heads the size of a large fist. Great … since this means 

they’re usually gobbled up after one meal, and don’t sit in the 

refrigerator while you try to figure out another way to cook 

them. They are crunchy, sweet, and mild in flavour, delicious 

eaten raw in salads (fantastic in an Asian salad), as well as braised, 

steamed, roasted, or stir-fried. Sow seed in trays, two weeks apart, 

for a continual supply, and plant out when they have their first 

true leaves. You’ll need to space plants 25cm apart. Cabbage 

likes fertile, well-composted soil, full sun in winter, and regular 

watering that keeps the soil consistently moist. Once heads 

start to form, prevent aphids by spraying with Margaret Roberts 

Organic Insecticide. They will be ready for harvest within 55 days. 

Yum. Details: kirchhoffs.co.za 

Take off the gardening wellies, kick up your heels and 

give your hard-working feet a refreshing dose of moisture 

with this Burt’s Bees Peppermint Foot Lotion. The 

cooling lotion will revive tired feet, and the glycerin and 

coconut oil will soften rough calluses, leaving your feet 

smooth and ready for the next day in the flower beds. 99 

per cent natural, it’s R200 from takealot.com or Dis-Chem. 

Your garden tasks 

• For an abundance of indigenous 

Spring flowers, sow Namaqualand 

daisies now. 

• Plant pansies, violas, primulas, 

Iceland poppies, snapdragons, 

and calendulas for Winter colour. 

Feed once a week with a liquid 

fertiliser for masses of flowers. 

• Wait until Easter to plant your 

daffodils, ranunculuses, and other 

Spring bulbs. 

• Fertilise Spring flowering 

camellias, azaleas and hellebores 

and water regularly 

• This is the last month to fertilise 

your roses and the lawn with 5:1:5 

or Ludwig’s Vigorosa. 

• Keep on sowing and planting 

out Winter veggies – broad beans, 

beetroot, broccoli, cabbage, 

carrots, cauliflower, lettuce, peas, 

spinach, and Swiss chard. 

• Look out for healthy strawberry 

plants … April is the right time to 

plant them. 


Walkies 

Time to dress up and hit the neighbourhood 

streets for our evening sniff and stroll 

Every good boy needs a treat (in our house, aka a bribe). And these 

Montego Bags O’ Wags go down … well, a treat. New look, new flavours 

(think Juicy Boerewors, Yummy Peanut Butter, Caramel and Condensed Milk, 

and 11 more), in Crunchy, Munchies, Squishies and Puppy Trainers. We’re 

going to try the Refreshing Mint Flavoured Dental Tubes variety (bye-bye 

dog breath). The treats are made from real meat and are an ideal daily treat 

to complement a healthy, nutrition-based and balanced diet for all breeds 

of puppies and dogs. You’ll find them at pet and vet stores for between R17 

and R76, depending on size and flavour. Details: montego.co.za 


The prettiest mutts will strut their stuff with this turquoise, 

lilac and rose gold collar and leash set. It’s high-quality nylon 

webbing, completely waterproof and tear-resistant, is for 

small breed dogs (sets for larger hounds are available), and is 

from Valgray for Dogs … a dog fashion brand with products 

designed to elevate your dog from the rest of the pack! Each 

collar comes with a free set of accessories – a stylish rose gold 

colour plated dog tag and slider broach, with your pet’s name 

laser engraved included in the cost of R639. And now that the 

evenings are turning a little chilly, pull on Rover’s handcrafted 

dog snoods. Locally made, soft crocheted snood scarf, it’s R399 

and available in fashion shades like Pistachio Mist, Canary, and 

Blush, (and we kid you not, there’s a matching human and dog 

snood set, too, for R799). Details: valgrayfordogs.com

Spoil 

April 

Gasp. It’s ... 

Kate Spade New York. 

This may well be our sweetest Spoil ever! We’re dancing with 

joy over the new (and first) Kate Spade New York fragrance 

… a cheerful, feminine, sparkling scent which launched in SA 

this month. All sweet wild strawberry and rose essence, citrusy 

bergamot and freesia, it’s optimism and happiness and spontaneous 

celebrations wrapped up in a beautiful curvy bottle, sporting the 

Kate Spade signature spade, and a pink and white box that’s quite 

honestly too pretty to discard. This modern, fruity-floral 

fragrance is a joyful scent that celebrates women 

and their sense of individuality. It launched 

with an upbeat campaign featuring Maddie 

Ziegler (who stars in Steven Spielberg’s movie 

adaptation of the musical West Side Story), 

dancing with friends against the iconic New 

York City skyline. But dance is universal … 

so be it the New York or Joburg skyline, Cape 

Town’s Table Mountain, Ballito’s breath-taking 

beaches, we can celebrate the passion of 

the fragrance and dance with Maddie, who 

shared some of her secrets with us. Head on 

over to getitnationalmagazines on Facebook, 

where you can see the video, read about her 

dance secrets, and where you’ll find the post 

about this month’s Spoil. Enter there, and 

you could be dancing away with a bottle of 

Kate Spade New York fragrance and matching 

hand and body lotion and a stunning Kate 

Spade tote bag. Swoon only after you’ve 

entered! Entries close April 25.
