Glow in the dark cobble stones
So while browsing the ever so interesting and entertaining pinterest, I saw these amazing glow in the dark stepping stones. Unfortunately a DIY approach to this would cost you an arm and a leg as many of the chemicals involved in making the stones glow are rather pricey. However, there are some stores where you can purchase them. Currently I'm searching for a store in South Africa where they are available but I have had no luck thus far. Suggestions are most welcome if you have any info regarding this, I'm dying to get my hands on some. They would make a beautiful gift and also add some aesthetics to the garden. They charge up during the day using the sun light and glow ever so pretty at night. It's ideal if you have guests over a lot of the time for dinner etc as you wont need to use lights in the garden. Its a greener more efficient method of doing things, so it's worth every penny. It's similar to the ones people usually have in their fish tanks.
16 Days of Activism against women and child abuse
This month, here in South Africa people are showing support by wearing white ribbons in support of eradicating violence towards women and children. All proceeds go towards organisations that help women and children who have been abused. It's actually quite sad that in this day and age things like this still occur. Stand up and be empowered. It's not okay to just accept that these things happen. Especially if you know of someone who is being beat up and so on. As a society and as a country, we ourselves need to take action, because if we don't, who will.
Taste of Christmas
With Christmas just around the corner, and the taste of joburg held earlier this year, the two have combined and the Taste of Christmas is taking place this weekend. I think tickets are still available on Groupon and iTickets if you haven't yet got your tickets. I really enjoyed going for the taste of joburg earlier this year and its a great experience. You can read more about the taste of Joburg here:
