MY TOP PICKS THIS ISSUE
^
pring is fast approaching and the cold of winter is being replaced with the hotter temperatures of summer. When you are in the midst of winter you forget about the warmer carefree days of summer. This year moreso because of COVID19 we put aside the usual winter illnesses of flue or colds and we focuesd on keeping safe and keeping healthy. Lockdowns have kept us indoors and expanding our territory online whilst watching the invisible enemy as it spread accross the world. Safe to say Spring is finally in sight and we are all feeling the need for the new season. A symbol somewhat of a new dawn and a new earth that is emerging from the long nights of winter. As always make sure you pick up your gadget and open up The Edgars Club magazine.
explains it all. Outside The Club pages, ensure you find out more about the Edgars Hospital Cash Plan and the Mi-Life Plan. These products enable you to support your loved ones and those who depend on you, should the worst happen in life.

You’ll find the design frequently used on blazers, shirts, pants - well almost everything, and the detail has graduated from suit sets to asymmetrical tops and breezy skirts. It’s 2019, and plaid shows no signs of checking out. Especially not after Burberry revived its signature check with a vengeance this season. Why not pick up a gallant Prince of Wales check suit? Whether pencil skirt or slip dress, we’ll happily take the check this year. It’s time to be bold and mix the pattern with your other favorites e.g. florals.

here’s one print that’s dominating the fashion world, and that’s checks. You’ll find the design frequently used on blazers, shirts, pants - well almost everything, and the detail has graduated from suit sets to asymmetrical tops and breezy skirts. It’s 2019, and plaid shows no signs of checking out. Especially not after Burberry revived its signature check with a vengeance this season. Why not pick up a gallant Prince of Wales check suit? Whether pencil skirt or slip dress, we’ll happily take the check this year. It’s time to be bold and mix the pattern with your other favorites e.g. florals.

Cook Off was shot in 2017. The romantic comedy had a meagre 118 starting budget of just US$8 000.“It was not like a luxury shoot where you have your own trailer and you are big on wine,” 29-yearold Chitima said,. “Everything was very minimalistic. We had Facebook: edgarszimbabwe

SPF PROTECTION If your skin would normally burn after 10 minutes in the sun, applying an SPF 15 sunscreen would allow you to stay in the sun without burning for approximately 150 minutes (a factor of 15 times longer). This is a rough estimate that depends on skin type, intensity of sunlight and amount of sunscreen used. SPF is actually a measure of protection from amount of UVB exposure and it is not meant to help you determine duration of exposure.

TALK BACK TO YOUR INNER VOICE. Everyone has an inner voice, i.e. the way you talk to yourself in your head or out loud. But sometimes that voice can be cruel—even though it’s ultimately dictated by you. It can tell you that you’re a failure or convince you to stress about something that you have absolutely no control over. Most people have a loud inner critic which makes their life more stressful.Learning to have a reassuring and soothing inner voice can make a big difference in improving your mental health. Obviously that’s easier said than done, but here’s a good place to start: When your inner voice is giving you really crappy freedback and advice, stop and consider how you would talk to your best friend in this situation. Then try to adjust your inner voice to talk like that. club

Pottery and human remains 122 122 uncovered here suggest that they have been inhabited since at least the 1st century. Most famously, they provided a refuge from raiding tribes for Mashona chief Chinhoyi and his people. The top attraction is the Wonder Hole, a collapsed cavern with sheer walls that drop into the crystalline Sleeping Pool. The glacial blue color of the lake’s water makes for impressive photographs, and from here, visitors can enter the illuminated Dark Cave. Chinhoyi is a popular destination for technical scuba divers.

That is why it is important to start with that one piece and work your way from there. In a dining room, start with the dining table. For your living room, choose your sofa or sectional first.

You know those people whose house always smells just amazing? Maybe it’s a super subtle, almost indescribable fragrance that fills the room or maybe it’s something more bold and distinct. Scent can totally transport you to another place—a woodsy winter cabin, a flower-filled garden, or a salty, breezy beach walk.

Up your social quotient by juicing up on worldviews and perspectives by subscribing to interesting YouTube channels or catching some interesting talks on TEDTalks (a personal favourite I must say). If you prefer reading something instead, my tops picks would be FastCompany (I religiously read their articles, case studies and blogs), Entrepreneur (for some inspiring stores) and Goodreads (to find recommendations on the next great book to read).

As she went along she began calculating what she would do with the money she would get for the milk. “I’ll buy some fowls from Farmer Brown,” said she, “and they will lay eggs each morning, which I will sell to the parson’s wife.

Polly Shaw will be that jealous; but I don’t care. I shall just look at her and toss my head like this.” As she spoke she tossed her head back, the Pail fell off it, and all the milk was spilt.
