My Second Home - Part 1

Hi Everyone! I'm so excited to be blogging about Umkomaas which is my second home. I've been staying here for two years and it certainly feels like home to me. The view from my flat is remarkable, I couldn't help but share it with you. Umkomaas is a small town, I didn't know about it till I had to move here because of my job. 

 There are a number of activities that one can partake in like shark cage diving, spa treatments and golf (I have these in my bucket list). The Aliwal Shoal is a huge tourist attraction with activities such as diving and fishing. Umkomaas river is the largest river on the South Coast, it's great for rafting, canoeing and boat riding. Umkomaas is home to the beautiful Empisini Nature Reserve. The forest has a number of bush walks and a stunning waterfall. There are cabins that one can rent out. 
There are guest houses and lodges if one is interested in paying us a visit. There are many restaurants with beautiful sea views where one can dine in.  

 I feel blessed to be staying in such a beautiful town. I'll have a detailed post up on my blog showing you places you can visit, look out for that!  

 Until next time!
XO Kanya





I took these images with my phone from my balcony.
 I took this one on my way home at 6 am. 


These two I took them from the brigde on the Umkomaas river mouth.

Shopping with a difference

Hi Everyone! Today's post has been on my mind for a very long time now. It's something very close to my heart... On my last visit to Cotton On Galleria the lady at the counter asked me if I'd like to make a donation by purchasing a bracelet or a bottle of water. I was pleased to do so. The proceeds go to the Cotton On Foundation. The Cotton On Foundation is aimed at reducing poverty and improving the lives of those in need. This is a great initiative as it focuses on four pillars: Education, Health Care, Sustainability and Infrastructure. They funds projects in Australia and Uganda. They work relatively close to the Nelson Mandela Foundation and Caring 4 Girls here in South Africa. Bottled water that can be purchased from Cotton On for only R10 Arm candy available at Cotton On for as little as R18 Another great initiative that I've come to learn about is the M.A.C AIDS fund. It was launched in 1994 and it is a safety net for people living with and affect...

It's hour time - Era by DJ Zinhle

Image
Hello Lovely People! I've got a confession... I'm an ERAHOLIC. I'm so obsessed with DJ Zinhle's brand, Era by DJ Zinhle. It comprises of arm watches, bracelets and clutch bags. The clutch bags are only available for a limited period. They come in two colours, black and white. I obviously went for a black clutch (I'm that nuts about black!) and a heart beat monochrome watch. There are other combos to choose from on her online store. On her online shop   www.djzinhle.com  there is a wide variety of watches and bracelets. I loved this silver Eraholic bracelet, it's also available in gold. Era by DJ Zinhle watch collection is also available at selected Legit stores, for a limited period (List of stores below). I love how they bring something new to the brand. I can't wait to see what they'll add to their collection this year. List of Legit Stores 1. Bloemfontein 2. Boulders 3. Campus Square 4. Century City 5. Church S...

Travel Diaries - Cape Town

Image
Hello Loves! A week ago a friend and I went to Cape Town for the weekend. It was the first time for both of us. We stayed at the Lagoon Beach Hotel. I enjoyed my stay there and part of me wishes I had stayed longer.  View of Table Mountain from the hotel Cape Town is one of South Africa's capital cities and it is also known as the Motherland. It is a huge tourist attraction because of the Table mountain which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Robben Island, Cape of Good Hope and V&A Waterfront to name a few. Cape Town is quite a small city as we were able to navigate around Table Mountain in our small rental car.   On Top of Table Mountain It's a beautiful city situated next to the Atlantic Ocean. Growing up on the east side of the country I've always been exposed to the Indian Ocean which is pretty warm. We took a drive along Camps Bay and Hout Bay. I wasn't brave enough to swim because the water there is freezing cold and it was ver...
