Decorex 2016 in Durban ran from 18-21 March.

One of our Durbanite contributors was lucky enough to attend the TI concert held at Durban Botanic Gardens recently. “I knew the TI concert was set to be a great event looking just from the line-up of artists.

On Wednesday the 25th of November, we left on a quick trip to Gooderson Leisure Drakensberg Gardens Golf and Spa Resort. The resort is situated in the Southern Drakensberg, on an 860 hectare World Heritage site, and boasting the most beautiful scenery (in my opinion) that KwaZulu Natal has to offer. There are 5 different restaurants, 4 different bars, it…
This time around, we sent Bronwynn Fineman to try out the new Carlton Hair in La Lucia Mall. Here’s what she had to say about the experience: “I was the lucky one to be the first to go to the new salon in La Lucia Mall. I have to say that I was a little nervous but really excited having…
On Monday 2nd of November, Kimmi I went on a little adventure – a quick getaway to Gooderson Natal Spa Hot Springs and Leisure Resort!
