JULY IN THE GARDEN
The rains arrived convincingly in late June, around the Winter Solstice – the shortest day and longest night of the year.
Patchwork says planting in the right months gives your plants the best chance to thrive. July’s plant list is shorter than usual – see it here.
Now I’m 1 year old, and I’m lucky to snuggle into my blanket every night. But so many of my friends out there aren’t as lucky.
This Mandela Day, ARO is putting together 670 Pet Bags for dogs and cats in need. Each bag will have something very special: a blanket to keep them warm through the cold winter nights. See how you can help here.
HONOURING OUR YOUTH BY ENSURING THEIR SAFETY
Safety is a priority and must be top of mind for everyone, particularly teenagers and young adults who are especially vulnerable to crime. Fidelity ADT explains more. See it here.
UNDERSTANDING ADOLESCENT SCOLIOSIS
Is Your Teen’s Spine in Line? As children grow rapidly through their tween and teen years, their spines undergo major changes.
One condition that can quietly develop during this time is scoliosis. The Chiropractic Health Centre explains more here.
GENTLE ON SKIN, SWIMSUITS, AND THE PLANET
Great news for those of you with sensitive skin who want a wash that cares for your costumes and the environment!
We’ve managed to track down Manda from Extreme Wash (we thought they had closed over COVID), and we’re excited to once again stock this amazing washing liquid.
Available in 500ml bottles from us, and as part of our introductory special, for every Oggi swimsuit purchased we’ll give you a small test sample bottle. Alternatively, you can buy a sample bottle for just R20 (while stocks of samples last — though we have ordered more).
SECURITY TIPS JULY 2025
Investing in a comprehensive home security system is one of the most effective ways to protect your family, property, and valuables.
By integrating technologies such as alarm systems, gate automation, electric fencing, and CCTV, businesses and homeowners can enjoy enhanced safety, convenience, and peace of mind. Keep Electronics explains more. See it here.
THE STARTER HOME ECONOMY
With interest rates softening, salaries improving and the transfer-duty exemption threshold rising by 10% (saving buyers up to R3,300), South Africa’s first-time buyers are making confident moves onto the property ladder. Read more here.
