I
SUPPOSE it’s one of the functions of growing older. Recently I have been thinking about the past quite a bit and wondering about the people I grew up with. I can remember the names of all of my school mates although I find it difficult to remember the names of people I met last week… isn’t life strange.
And I have been aided and abetted in my musings about the characters from my past by the technical miracles and wonders of the modern world. Through the portals of Facebook and other social network sites on my cell phone I have re-established contact with some of those long lost souls and through them, I have discovered links to others. Of course the changes have been staggering…time can be a cruel mistress…and the once bright, shiny faces are now wrinkled and blurred – or nipped and tucked into a coma in a hopeless quest to stave off the inevitable. I find it rather comforting to see how age has levelled us. The super jocks and the hot chicks of the day are all now very ordinary people – in fact, some are decidedly more ordinary than I would ever have imagined! Although we have absolutely nothing in common now, apart from the fact that due to a quirk of history and geography, we happened to be in the same classroom at some stage during our formative years, there is still a tenuous connection with these old friends. And then there are other, later connections – army mates, university colleagues, musicians and entertainers I worked with over the years, colleagues from the SABC and the video production world, old presenters from Radio 5 days and…scarily…the old flames. It’s amazing how many
people one meets in a lifetime. I am not sure whether it’s a good thing to re-establish contact with people from the past. You are not who you were then and, if you had been close, you probably would have stayed in touch. So, you didn’t have much in common back then and now you’ve got even less to talk about. Life moves on and people move with it and that’s the way it’s supposed to be. The best advice is not to dwell in the past or to be too concerned about the future because either way, you miss out on the present where life is to be lived to the full. That makes infinite sense to me, yet somehow I find myself almost compulsively drawn into this alternate matrix – the world of endless “friends” - the portal to which is my smartphone. It is particularly compelling when I am supposed to be doing other things like writing this regular communication and editing the endless pages of copy that pass across my desk in the daily pursuit of making a living. And this dipping into the world of endless “friends” is a real thief of time…I take a quick glance at what’s cooking on Facebook and, before I know it, half an hour has disappeared! So, I have made a resolution to spend more time in the real world and less time catching up on old friends pretending that their lives are awesome on Facebook. A study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin has found a strong correlation between relationship anxiety and the tendency to fill up everyone’s news
SITUATION VACANT
Can You Sell Advertising? Would you like to join our sales team? A situation has become vacant on the Life & Style sales team and we are looking to fill it with a dynamic sales pro who can work in the Ballito / Umhlanga region selling advertising for our radio station. We pay a good basic plus commission and the sky’s the limit for the right sales person! If you fit the bill send a short CV to info@lifeandstyle.fm and we’ll be in touch.
TEN POINTS • Remember who you were when you were a child. • Our homes, children and bodies are given to us for a short while – treat them with respect. • B e easy to speak to, gentle and not proud. • Substitute flexibility for rigidity. • Exercise early in the day to raise your metabolism. • Find happiness with what you have and with who you are. • There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. • W ork on trusting people. • Fill your mind with healthy thoughts. • Become an eternal optimist.
ONLINE
feed with #blessedcaptioned pictures of their perfect life or significant other. Users who feel down about their lives or relationships try to find validation in posting to Facebook. The reasoning is twofold: People “pretend” their lives or relationships are going well, and likes and positive comments boost their self-esteem. The theory is if they act like their relationship is perfect, eventually it will be. But the reality is sadly rather different. Never mind – there’s always Life & Style to keep you focussed on what’s hot and happening in the real world…on air, in print and online. Welcome to another edition – with love from Ballito!

WHY YOU NEED AN ESTATE AGENT
T
he Oxford dictionary defines a Real Estate Agent as:
‘A person whose job involves selling and renting out buildings and land for clients'. Choosing the right agent can make a huge difference when selling or renting your property. Here’s why: 1. Agents know the area. Good agents know everything happening in and around their town. Their local knowledge is invaluable when buyers from out of town are looking to settle down. They know the best schools, areas of growth, sport and medical facilities and because they understand the buyer’s needs, can guide them to purchase accordingly. 2. Agents understand the pricing. Experienced agents understand the value of properties in their area, and can advise their sellers accordingly. They use their local knowledge of property prices to compile Comparative Market Valuations for their sellers. Agents do not set the prices, but they assist their sellers to make the best possible decision when pricing their property. For buyers, the agent’s knowledge of area prices and information such as how long the property has been on the market can help them to make the right offer to purchase. 3. Agents have great connections: All experienced agents will know trusted lawyers and bond originators to recommend to both their buyers and sellers. They will know skilled contractors and service providers who they can rely on. Good agents will find a solution to any problem that may stand in the way of the sale of a property to benefit both sellers and buyers. 4. Agents make it easy on everyone From coordinating show days to the conclusion of the paperwork, the agent paves every way to negotiate the smooth transition of the sale. They sift through the listings, schedule the showings, negotiate the transaction and hold the hands of both the sellers and buyers. 5. Agents love the process Nothing is more exciting for any good agent when he/she has succeeded to open the right door for their buyers and conclude the full transaction through the minefield of legal documents, difficult negotiations to the final handing over of keys. 6. Agents flourish on referrals which is why any agent worth his salt will work diligently to leave every buyer and seller with the best possible experience. Here’s what to be on the lookout for when selecting your Estate Agent to entrust with selling or renting your property.

Millennials Aren’t Buying Cars And Property Anymore, Here’s Why ERENE OBERHOLZER
A decade’s worth of research shows that experiences, not possessions, bring young people the most happiness.
C
ompared to other generations, millennials take a different approach in the way they do things. One of these being in how they spend their money.
According to Brightside, research show that millennials, especially those that are between 30 and 35 years old, rarely buy houses and cars anymore. As a matter of fact, they don’t buy super expensive things in general. In the USA, people who are under the age of 35 are actually called ‘the generation of renters’. Why is it that millennials, or modern youngsters, don’t measure success with a car or house? Some would suggest that financial problems contribute to the situation, but it isn’t the main reason behind it all. If you compare millennials to other generations, you will see how their values have changed. The youth has
reconsidered their concept of success which means: Successful people rent out apartments or houses and you’ll be considered more successful when you invest in experiences such as traveling or building start-ups.
It comes down to this: 1. Flexibility and financial independence
According to Forbes, young people change jobs every three years on average. Now that is a lot. And if you’re stuck with a house, the chances of you changing jobs are much harder. If you rent, nothing will prevent you from moving closer to your new office. The fact is that you don’t know how long you’ll be living where you live at the moment, and if you take out a mortgage for 40 years – you’ll stay exactly where you are.
New to Ballito -
the Venus Freeze Machine
@ Fraiche
2. Investing in experiences brings more joy James Hamblin explains the phenomenon perfectly: “Over the past decade, psychologists carried out a great amount of research proving that, in terms of happiness and a sense of well-being, spending money on new experiences is much more profitable than buying new things. It brings more joy.” 3. Material things just don’t make for good stories People would much rather hear about your vacation in Spain than hear you blab on and on about your new house or expensive car. Experiences make for good stories, even if it’s a bad one.
4. Buying makes millennials worry
When buying super expensive things, millennials tend to worry about their condition all the time. When you get a house, you can get robbed. When you buy a car, it can be stolen or even break down. Or catch on fire. Or get scratched. The list is endless. At least nobody can take your experiences away from you. It’s kind of a win-win situation: Experiences won’t go down in price, it enriches your life and nobody can steal it.

THE RENOVATION DREAM TEAM PROGRESS REPORT
B
allito is one of the most desirable addresses in South Africa at present and there is no shortage of people looking to relocate here for the lifestyle it offers. Recently we have seen a growing trend among those with limited budget, and a bit of a flair for home making, towards buying the proverbial “fixer upper” with a view to improving the value and desirability of the property by renovating on a budget. But even for those with experience in this sort of thing, things can go wrong, and when they do, the budget is blown and disaster follows.
who we know or who have come highly recommended – to show you what is possible on a limited budget. The renovation project was the challenge of thriftily doing up an elderly Ballito residence - our L&S HQ. Chapman Building under the direction of Jason Chapman took a look at what we had in mind and assembled the team. The renovation grew somewhat as the potential of what could be done emerged, and some four months later, we have a result. We think that what has been achieved is awesome and the old Ballito property has been transformed as you can see from the
The North Coast, like many regions in the country, has its fair share of rogue builders, tradesmen and suppliers and many dreams of a lovely home by the sea become nightmares of epic proportion. So we decided to put together what we consider to be a selection of some of the best in the region - The Renovation Dream Team – a collective of local professionals, trades and suppliers
renovation
images that have been published in Life & Style throughout the process. The logos and details of the various members of the Renovation Dream Team are included in this feature and you can engage them directly for anything similar that you might have in mind. You can also contact me by e mail on editor@lifeandstyle.org.za should you wish to find out more about our experience and for recommendations – we have learned a lot during the process. The property was professionally appraised before work commenced and it will shortly be re appraised to see whether we have potentially made or lost money by going this route – either way, the old HQ is now a much more exciting space and because we were able to remedy some inherent structural problems in the process, it should be around for many more years to come.

Upon agreement of the concept, finishes selected with the client are represented in 3D renders. Renders are a great way to allow a client to visualise a space, a good feel for the final product is appreciated. Once the client and designer are pleased with the concept, sketches and renders, the designer produces the final computer aided designs. Should the client wish to have new or restored furniture selected for the space, a furniture and materials board is put together where each item can be seen along with the selected fabrics. A full costing sheet is then put together.

Vespa is making an electric version
BALLITO VOLKSWAGEN – THE DEALERSHIP IS OPEN
of its iconic scooter
The Vespa Elettrica should preserve both Italian chic and the planet.
T
he launch of Ballito Volkswagen last week, caused much excitement among those who love the marque. Volksie fans have never been in short supply and this was an occasion for them to show off their customised vehicles as well as an opportunity to pick up a new vehicle at factory prices – an offer almost too good to be true. But that is how Ballito VW have created such a stir in the market – unbelievable prices on select new vehicles and a
brand new dealership with new vehicle showroom, pre- owned lot, service centre, parts dept. and inhouse finance. And it’s right here in Ballito – no more schlepping down the highway for parts and service…yay!
The launch offered all sorts of fun and entertainment for the whole family including free pizza for the kids, a resident deejay cranking out the tunes while people took in the new surroundings. There were food trucks, jumping castles, balloons, magicians, radio controlled vehicles, a Show and Shine vehicle competition and random giveaways of super prizes to add to the excitement. Some of the Sharks arrived to add to the festivities and Radio Life & Style’s Danielle Fisher was on the scene doing live crossings and creating an enormous sense of fun! We wish Ballito Volkswagen much success and welcome them to the Republic of Life & Style!
Ford Everest
T
Electric scooters aren’t hard to find, but you haven’t had any luck if you wanted the most recognizable scooter of them all, a Vespa -- the Italian machine has run on fossil fuels since its inception. At last, though, the brand is catching up with the times. It recently unveiled a Vespa Elettricaproject that, to no one’s surprise, runs on an electric motor. You’d still have the style and manoeuvrability of a classic Vespa, the company claims, but you’d get a cheaper-to-run, eco-friendly power plant. There will also be “innovative connectivity solutions.” It’s not certain what those are, but it’s easy to envision checking on your scooter with your smartphone. The Elettrica should be ready sometime in the second half of 2017. Vespa hasn’t divulged pricing. As Gizmodo comments, though, there’s a good chance that this could sit on the higher end of Vespa’s price spectrum at several thousand dollars or more. Electric vehicles are costlier as a rule, and Vespa might have little trouble charging premium prices for the combination of cutting-edge tech with its famous badge.
Now Produced in South Africa
HE Ford Everest is now being locally produced is set to become a more compelling and competitive choice in the highly contested sport utility vehicle market, now offering a broader range and better value for money than ever before.
This is thanks to the launch of the expanded model line-up comprising a total of eight derivatives available with two engine choices, three specification levels, manual and automatic transmissions, as well as the option of two or four-wheel drive. Smart technologies including all-new SYNC®3 In line with its sophisticated character, the Ford Everest boasts a high level of standard comfort, convenience and safety features that make it one of the smartest and most advanced SUVs on the market. One of the most exciting new technologies, available for the first time in SubSaharan Africa, is Ford’s latest-generation SYNC®3 integrated communications and entertainment system, fitted as standard on all XLT and Limited models. It includes a total of 10 speakers and two USB ports for multimedia connectivity.
Ford MyKey is standard on the XLT and Limited, enabling vehicle owners to programme a variety of functions into a secondary key, such as a maximum speed limit, audio volume limit, and to prevent the ESP system from being deactivated. The extensive range of smart and safe driving technologies on the Everest Limited make it stand out even further. These include Adaptive Cruise Control with Heads Up Display, Forward Alert, Collision Mitigation and Distance Alert. A powered rear tailgate and power-fold third-row seats on the Limited add optimal convenience and ease-of-use for the seven-seat layout. On the XLS and XLT, the rear seats can be collapsed manually, while the second row can be slid and tipped forward to aid access to the rear, reclined for added comfort, or folded flat. All models come standard with Ford Protect, including a four-year/120 000km comprehensive warranty, five-year/100 000km service plan, three-year/unlimited km roadside assistance and five-year/unlimited km corrosion warranty.
