Do you and your family still do game night? My husband, son and I do game night quite often. We make a little snack platter, and we play anything from Ludo and Uno to the Landlords game. What now? Monopoly!! Did you know that when Monopoly first came to be, it wasn’t called monopoly? I quite like the original name - The Landlords Game. So, Elizabeth Magie invented the game […]

I love intermittent fasting. A friend and I do it together, so we support each other every week, and we love it, we really do. Personally, I can feel the difference in my energy levels, so yes, for me, I think it’s working. It’s a good thing. So, imagine my surprise and curiosity when I came across a new study that apparently found it to be really bad for your […]

You know the saying "Too much of a good thing, turns into a bad thing"? Well, that surprisingly also goes for drinking water. Experts say our obsession with carrying reusable water bottles wherever we go (I'm guilty) might be causing us to drink more water than our bodies actually need. How much do we need then? Haven’t we always been taught it’s no less than 2 liters per day? Apparently, […]

Mushrooms! I love mushrooms. Mushroom soup, mushroom in salads, mushroom sauce, on the braai, in pasta, you name it! But we might have a new reason to absolutely love mushrooms.

The city of Cleveland has for a while been faced with an epidemic of […]

Namibians are known to be friendly people. It’s one of the things that tourists constantly pick up and comment on, yes? But what about happiness. Do you think we feature on the World Happiness Report? We do, we just didn’t score that well in the last report. So, the world happiness report gets compiled by the UN, and you guessed it. It ranks countries by their resident's happiness! Data is […]

Ever heard of Lampo, the dog that used to ride trains, by himself? It is the cutest! Lampo was a stray dog in Italy in the early 1950’s. One day, he got off at a railway station, and was immediately taken in and adopted by the station master. Lampo was incredibly smart, so much so, that he very quickly learned the train schedules, and was even able to distinguish the […]

It seems as if Banksy has struck again! Banksy, you know the street art, artist in London whose real identity is not known. I lived in the UK for several years and it’s such an exciting thing to see his work up close. But back then, it was much easier to stay hidden, so nobody ever knew who he really was. Actually still… Nobody knows who he is. But so, […]

Cait Keirnan, a former celebrity and royal family tabloid writer, says we have all been 'sucker-punched' by being drawn into the Kate Middleton conspiracy theories. She reckons the royal family, is most likely trying to divert our attention away from something else that is happening. It makes a lot of sense, but I guess only time will tell.
