lifestyle Totally worth the splurge!

ine dining just got better thanks to the luxurious Pigalle Restaurant in Melrose Arch. The restaurant boasts ultramodern, state-of the-art finishes with a refreshingly sophisticated feel. There’s not much we don’t love about this place, especially because it lends itself to a perfect starry night out in Jozi.

This jewel is the perfect starter to the summer season because it’s the finest place to dine

and the brightest space to wine. It’s ideal for a romantic first date - or any date for that matter, because you will be courted all night long. It is utter romance, sheer opulence and it’s an incredibly charming spot.

Think of ‘fine dining’ and what comes to mind? Gastronomically creative dishes, excellent service and a culinary treat beyond measure. Pigalle not only encompasses depth and diversity of flavours but the use of indigenous ingredients is a true testament to their bold, mesmerizing dishes.

We recommend you start with the salmon parfait, which is presented with modern refinement and is easy on the palette. For mains we adore the Mediterranean Kingklip topped with feta, olives and de-shelled queen

with its royal blue hues and dim-lit enigmatic appeal.

We can all agree that Portuguese food is packed with flavour and passion and Selva is certainly no different. Fresh seasonal ingredients and a glorious wine list really enhance the dining experience. The food is inspired from the great restaurants of Portugal and it’s fiery, spicy and packs a punch. Let’s just say it’s almost impossible not to lick the plate clean.

You’ve got to try the grilled sardines, (two in a portion) drizzled with bolo de caco, grilled peppers and coriander pesto. It’s a compliment from the heavens above! We also recommend popping in for lunch because

prawns. Fresh, succulent and jam-packed with zest, it is one of our all-time favourites!

Another must-try is the rich pork belly, slow roasted to perfection and served on wilted spinach with gorgeous turmeric roasted potatoes, smothered with a cider reduction. All this paired with a bottle of South African Thunderchild Cabernet Franc/Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon 2014… magnifique!

Hello Joburgers, dining at Pigalle is an unforgettable affair and it is totally worth the splurge! That’s a double thumbs up from us! H 5 www.pigallerestaurants.co.za 3 011 684 2711 T @pigallesa

the food is light and tasty and it’ll give you sustenance for a prolonged productive day.

For mains try the succulent grilled pulled chicken salad with a honey vinaigrette on the side. By the way, the grilled kingklip fillet in a tarragon butter and Vinho Verde sauce served with round chips or grilled baby vegetables is out of this world spectacular! If it’s a Thursday or Friday luncheon we feel it’s only fitting to pair any meal with a carafe of vino. Fortunately they have a list of local and imported Portuguese wines … por favor, we want more!

Vaping could save ‘A Billion Lives’

International documentary about vaping wins big at the Jozi Film Festival

T Photos Philip Schedler

he Jozi Film Festival closed with a stunning star studded awards evening that saw international documentary feature film, A Billion Lives scoop up the award for Best International Documentary Film.

Directed by Aaron Biebert, the controversial documentary revealed that the World Health Organisation predicts that a billion people will die this century from smoking – a terrifying statistic. After watching his friend die from lung cancer, director and executive producer, Aaron Biebert ventured across four continents,

interviewed a number of doctors, scientists and policy makers from major international health organizations to answer a few of the many burning questions regarding the safety and health concerns around the latest craze, vaping.

E-cigarettes and vaping can help people quit or cut back in smoking, as they don’t contain tobacco or tar. Vaping is the process of inhaling water vapour through a personal vaporizer – the vapers tobacco free version of a traditional cigarette, which heats a liquid, which is mainly made using vegetable oil, to create water vapour. It is almost completely odourless and thousands of people have jumped on the vaping bandwagon.

Spoiler alert – the startling film uncovered that compelling studies have found that e-cigarettes

and vapour products are 95% safer than smoking cigarettes and can save smoking related pre-mature deaths by 21%. A Billion Lives reveals how pharmaceutical companies, anti-smoking advocacy groups, tobacco companies, and even governments are to blame for the disinformation, over-regulation and banning of e-cigarettes worldwide. It truly is one of the must-see films of the year.

“I am immensely honoured to have won this prestigious award and have hosted our African Premiere in South Africa. It was very important for our team to get the message about safer alternatives to smoking to an African audience,” stated Aaron, after receiving his award.

A moment on the lips

ooking for a team who will create the event of your dreams, as well as supply a stream of delectable, handcrafted morsels? Look no further than By Word of Mouth… the very cream of the catering crop.

By Word of Mouth may have started off as a simple catering company, but founder Karen Short happily revealed that the company has become so much more than that. “The business has definitely evolved. It used to just be food. Now we do a full coordination – weddings and event coordination,” she explained. That’s right – they’re the whole package.

Karen and her hardworking team offer everything from unique designer menus of mouth-watering food to complete event management service, including event and floral designing, hiring and decor, beverages, front of house managers and even waiters.

In fact, By Word of Mouth even has its very own venue – The Polo Room, so they’ve got everything covered. All you have to worry about is who’s coming to the most epic event of the year.

8

If you haven’t checked out The Polo Room, we suggest that you hop to it! Located on the pristine grounds of the Inanda Club, complete Hello Joburg • October 2016 • Hellojoburg.co.za

with gorgeous views of the Sandton skyline, the venue is perfect for weddings, birthday soirees and corporate events. There’s also a raised grass terrace overlooking the polo field – ideal for any summer occasion.

“If I could pick everything from a garden and cook it, I would. I like to know where my meat is from, to know where my fish is from and to pick my ingredients.” Which is why many of their ingredients are locally sourced.

So what inspired Karen to take on the challenge of starting her own business? She says that she always knew that she wanted to be a chef - her parents were exceptional cooks and she basically grew up in the kitchen.

However, it was only after she returned to South Africa after working in London that she spied a gap in the market. “South Africa was still doing soggy sandwiches and tin-foil covered plates. I mean, you couldn’t even get sun-dried tomatoes. I knew I had value to add to the industry, that I could do something different from what other people had.”

We had the pleasure of watching Karen test a few of the recipes she’ll be showcasing during the annual By Word of Mouth Festive Workshops and Market event that’s set to take place in October. Needless to say – they look absolutely divine! Karen is calm and confident while she cooks, multitasking away as she chats up a storm and whips up delicious dishes. Her team is always close at hand to help out and together, they work like a well-oiled machine – which is brilliant considering the fast-paced, incredibly stressful industry they work in. At least you know that when you hire By Word Fast-forward 23 years and here she is, scooping of Mouth, your event – from décor to hors up numerous awards (like Best Caterer in d'oeuvres – will be in very good hands. H Joburg), the name ‘By Word of Mouth’ on 5 www.bywordofmouth.co.za everyone’s lips and a spectacular venue in the heart of stunning Sandton. She certainly is on T @ByWordofMouth1 @bywordofmouthsa a roll! (See what we did there?)

By Word of Mouth is special in more ways than one. Every single menu is tailor-made to the clients’ budget and their specific tastes.

“And now we’re getting lots of unusual requests like gluten-free, sugar free and the whole Banting thing,” Karen added. Her team love a good challenge, and are constantly inspired because they never have to create the same menu twice.

Classic fine dining in the heart of Morningside

W

hen The Hussar Grill first opened its doors in 1964, the owners probably had no idea that 52 years later, the restaurant would be the go-to spot for good wine and even better meat. Hello Joburgers, believe us when we say that you will not be disappointed by this spot.

With lush booths, cosy tables and bare-brick walls, the space is intimate and classy. Various wines and whiskies adorn the shelves and boards while the house specialities and special offers fill the walls. You can see the kitchen and hear the sizzle of grilling meat – it’s a comfortable spot with a relaxed, joyful atmosphere.

If you’re anything like us then every once in a while, you get a hefty craving for a really good steak. We’re convinced that The Hussar Grill was created simply to satisfy that craving.

They don’t mess around – there’s no artificial flavouring or sweetened basting on these hunks of beef – just pure flavour.

Words Victoria Taylor

For starters we ‘uhm-ed’ and ‘aah-ed’ and finally settled on the Hollandse Bitterballen.

It may look like a meatball, but it’s so much more… delicious beef bits and beef jus, mixed with creamy Béchamel which is then superbly crumbed and deep fried and served with tangy Dijon mustard on the side.

They’re so incredibly smooth you won’t know what hit you.

Another must-try is the Mussel Pot. The Hussar Grill stays true to its Capetonian roots with this wonder… a hearty serving of West Coast mussels that are so fresh they taste like they’ve come straight from the ocean, doused in a cream, fresh green herb, garlic and white

wine reduction and served with slices of crisp bread. Molto buono!

For mains we indulged in one of the house specialities – the Hollandse Biefstuk. This perfectly portioned piece of beef fillet is speckled with coarse black pepper and flambéed in a delicious mixture of butter and brandy. We opted for chips on the side. Before you think it, it’s not overly buttery and you’ll be so consumed by the steak that you might just forget about your side dish.

Our second favourite of the evening was the Chateaubriand, so tender and so soft, it literally falls apart under your fork. The succulent fillet is presented with a bowl of Béarnaise sauce on the side and then flambéed in brandy right in front of you! Dinner and a show? Check! That Béarnaise sauce is seasoned to perfection and is rich and creamy while still being delicate on your palate.

All this paired with a sneaky bottle of Petit Plaisir 2013 Plaisir de Merle (not always featured on the wine list), recommended by the incredibly knowledgeable and helpful manager, who is more than happy to suggest pairings for those who aren’t in the know about all things vino.

Amazingly, there was still room for dessert.

If you’re silly enough not to try the signature dessert and in-house creation – the Chocolate Vodka Martini, then you’ve got to sink into the Hussar Grill Ice Cream. Home-made vanilla ice cream with all the goodies – peanut brittle, marshmallows, nougat, honeycomb and sprinkled nuts, drizzled in dark chocolate sauce. Can you say heavenly?

Founder of Tashas – the most popular eatery in Johannesburg.

L

iving her brand on a daily basis, Natasha Sideris has created an empire for the love of people, food and design and has certainly mastered the art of the Restaurateur.

Believing that Restaurateurs are the unsung heroes of the restaurant business; Natasha conducts the magic behind the brand, bringing every element together to give her customers an unparalleled café experience time and time again.

Despite coming from a long line of chefs and cooks, Natasha admits that she didn’t grow up in a kitchen. Instead, her love affair with the business of food began after she matriculated and began helping her dad in his restaurants.

With 8 branches in Johannesburg alone, another 6 across the country and one in Dubai, Tashas is a fast moving foodie train.

So what’s next for the successful enterprise?

“Tashas Menlyn Maine, Tashas Ballito and Tashas Mall of Africa on the local front and 4 new Tashas stores in Dubai as well as our first store in Abu Dhabi,” revealed Natasha.

Believe it or not, the name Tashas was not at the top of her favourites list. “I was fearful that if this business venture failed, it carried my personal name and after 15 years in the business, I did not want to put that kind of pressure on myself. However, after being asked if I believed in the brand, which I did wholeheartedly, I decided that failure was never going to be an option.”

I think our success is that we let the ingredients shine; and celebrate them as the stars of the dish.

Every Tashas has a classic menu and then a signature menu. “When it comes to our Café classic style, everything is made to order; from a fruit platter, to a chicken salad. We are very fussy about our supply chain and source only the very best for our customers.”

is crafted with these elements in mind; and inspired by the style of the space.”

Each dish at Tashas is meticulously made, resulting in gorgeous, mouth-watering food that people literally wait in line to taste, and they have no complaints about it either. H

Complex Executive Chef, Rylan Ramsamy brings his own flair to the restaurants he works in… which are most of the ones within the Carnival City complex. “Food and beverage is an extremely important element in overall entertainment offering, our food and drink offering must enhance the experience – morning, noon, and night,” comments Ramsamy.

of the month

Chef Chantel Dartnall

f there were a definition for everything that’s right with the world, award-winning chef Chantel Dartnall would be it. She adjusts her crown and starts her day of running a mini empire, loving every single step along the way.

Pretoria, while her family created Restaurant Mosaic and The Orient. We love the inviting atmosphere and welcoming ambience of this place - you can sense the family pride, the passion for food and for people. It’s no wonder Chantel finds inspiration from Mosaic’s gorgeous setting in the lush Francolin Conservancy in the Crocodile River Valley.

“For me, it’s vital to serve visually appealing dishes that tell a story and stimulate diners’ senses from the moment the food arrives at the table.”

She’s an inspiration to many young women and has enhanced South Africa’s status as a gourmet destination. Chantel is a creator, an inventor and a magician - once you’re under her gastronomic spell, there’s no escaping!

When we asked Chantel what food meant to her, she so beautifully said ‘food is about featuring Mother Nature on a plate, where each dish is designed to reflect the beauty, harmony and purity that you find in nature.’

Restaurant Mosaic was one of the first restaurants in SA to be known for botanical cuisine, incorporating all natural elements and when you open the menu, you understand where this love stems from. The menu is ten pages long because each course is identified and explained.

Chantel grew up in the gorgeous Francolin Conservancy in Elandsfontein just outside of Pretoria, and having been a vegetarian before she started cooking professionally, we just had to know if she ate all her veggies growing up.

“Yes, I certainly did eat all of my veggies.”

After finishing school she enrolled at the Prue Leith College of Food and Wine in Centurion.

After graduating, renowned UK chef Nico Ladenis offered her a position as a commis chef in his restaurant, Chez Nico at 90 Park Lane in London. “It was a big break. At that time, Nico was one of only two British chefs in possession of three Michelin stars, where after I worked with Michael Caines of Gidleigh Park in Devon.”

22

Back home in South Africa she worked with Chef Rachel Botes at Carlton Cafe in Hello Joburg • October 2016 • Hellojoburg.co.za

This is no typical restaurant dining experience, this is a voyage - an unforgettable, hedonistic culinary experience fit for the connoisseur.

Her menu really entices the senses. Although it seems extremely unjust to pick our favourite from the ten courses, we’re still dreaming about the Simple Shoots dish of garden

veloute, fava bean mousse and pea shoots.

Using humble vegetables, Chantel has crafted an art piece, aesthetically pleasing and reminiscent of a green garden freshness.

Chef Chantel is a firm supporter of local suppliers and farmers. “It’s very important for any chef to create a strong bond with suppliers - especially the local farmers. I find the best way to do this is to visit the farms where the produce is grown and the animals are reared.”

Striving to keep sustainability alive and bringing exceptional flair to the culinary world … we say bravo to our chef of the month!

P.S. We highly recommend you stay over in the spectacular hotel. It’s a stone throw away from the restaurant and is an absolutely indulgent experience.

Words Bianca Spinner

Let’s rather leave the binge fest behind and opt for a fit body and mind. We’ve chosen our favourite smoothies and salads you’ll actually enjoy this summer.

Tashas - Nelson Mandela Square Best combo: This restaurant is inspired

by African glamour so you have to have the honeybush poached pear & biltong salad, smothered with a decadent mustard & balsamic vinaigrette. Pair it with a Berrylicious smoothie and don’t forget to add whey protein for an extra boost of energy! This smoothie is to die for and includes the finest ingredients goji berries, coconut, hemp powder and dates.

Yummy!

5 www.tashascafe.com

Kauai - The Zone @Rosebank Best combo: Our all-time favourite and summer body must-have is the famous Peanut Butter Bomb made with sugar-free peanut butter, superfood cacao & whey protein sourced from grass fed-cows. It’s a meal in itself but if like us, liquid doesn’t count as a meal, then the good news is that you can make your own salad bowl! Choose your base and filling of lentils, jalapenos or raw corn and more, then add your crunch and finally suffocate your veggies with a delectable dressing of your choice and voila!

By the way Hello Joburgers, they also offer plenty of gluten free and alternative dairy options. Winning!

Leafy Greens Cafe - Muldersdrift Best combo: It’s a slight trek from central Joburg, but they use the best quality fruits, nuts and organic superfoods they can get their hands on so it’s totally worth it. Plus their smoothies are freshly made to order, using as many organic ingredients as possible! We love the Paw Paw Lassi but nothing beats the Almond Butter smoothie, jam packed with banana, dates, Organic Maca, Organic Mesquite and plant-based protein powder, topped off with almond milk. The smoothies can also be bought and kept frozen for up to a month, which is a real winner!

Our salad of choice has to be the Organic Kale Salad with creamy maple chipotle nut dressing and organic hemp seeds. It’s a heavenly combo!

5 www.kauai.co.za

5 www.leafygreens.co.za

Fresh Earth Food Store - Emmarentia Best combo: We go nuts for the Health Nut Smoothie, which has pineapple, sunflower seeds, almonds flax seeds, soya milk and banana. Just a warning – it’s addictive! and because it is bursting with all the right fats, it’ll keep you satisfied for longer. Couple it with the new spinach, walnut, and cranberry salad and you’re assured pure goodness.

Don’t forget - there is also a mini store inside the restaurant so you can take a piece of the freshness home with you!

5 www.freshearth.co.za Boost Juice - Greenstone Mall Best combo: Their smoothies are low fat and all of them possess super powers, of course. Our fave is the Stress Relief because… well, duh! Fresh goodness in the form of the best ingredients - raspberry, banana, mango nectar and a dollop of creamy mango yoghurt.

It’s more like a dessert, but hey, we’re not complaining! If you’re more the active type then give your workout a boost with their sports range of smoothies. This time around skip the salad, because their toasted banana bread is downright divine! Worth every single calorie, we promise!

Once the fish has cured in the dressing, toss your salad into a bowl, add the Kabeljou with lashings of the mayo emulsion.

You can serve with cooked sushi rice or fresh ciabatta slices.

This dish is perfectly paired with a Caipirinha or an ice cold Carona served with a dash of fresh lime juice.

Hello Hannon

Beauty in a bottle? Count us in!

K

eeping your skin healthy can be tough in the harsh South African climate, which is why we’re so grateful for the magical products from Hannon. They leave your skin feeling oh-so refreshed and rejuvenated.

We’re sharing an important secret here, so listen up.

We’re spilling the beans on our face routine…

Here’s how we at Hello Joburg keep our skin looking absolutely fabulous all year long.

CHEERS MAKE-UP! After a hard day’s work, we ‘take off our face’ with Hannon’s Makeup Cleansing Milk. This moisturising remover gently removes the days oil and grime from your face without drying it out and leaving your skin feeling tight.

RUB-A-DUB Next come the Gentle Face Wash … and that’s exactly what it is – gentle. It prevents breakouts (yay!) and doesn’t contain those nasty microbeads, so your skin is left feeling supple, smooth and clean. Did we mention it can be used as a day and night cleanser? Ideal!

TONE UP! The pH Balancing Toner is an essential step and so many people forget about it.

It’s to be applied before you slather on that lovely cream or tightening serum. Hannon’s toner is a no-fuss spray-on that evens out your skins pH balance, soothes it and prepares the skin for a cram application. It’s also suitable to be used twice a day!

KEEP IT FIRM The Liquid Face Lifting Serum with Moist 24 is the ideal addition to your daily skin care routine. This instant firming serum helps tighten sagging skin. Perfect!

28

Hello Joburg • October 2016 • Hellojoburg.co.za

HERE COMES THE SUN… A golden tan is perfect … a red-hot lobster burn is not. The Daily Sunblock Moisturiser with Moist 24 is our go-to cream. The ingredient Zink Oxide helps to treat inflammation of acne prone skin. It’s also lightweight and oil-free with a high UV protection, it’s the ideal thing to combine with your favourite daily moisturiser, or any other Hannon moisturiser.

LAUGH OUT LOUD The team at Hello Joburg love a good chuckle. Our crow’s feet are laugh lines, but we don’t need them getting any deeper.

The skin around your eye is super thin and vulnerable to loss of moisture and elasticity.

We keep some Vitamin-E Eye Cream with Moist 24 handy because it instantly hydrates and firms up that skin. It also reduces sagging, minimises age spots and plumps the eye area for a revitalised appearance, leaving us free to laugh away – guilt-free.

SUAVE SKIN… Aging is no fun. As we age, the level of collagen in our skin lowers, causing the skin to become thinner and develop fine lines and wrinkles. We are not into that, so we have the Collagen Smoothing Serum from Hannon tucked away in our bags … it’s fast acting, gives us a younger, more rested appearance and reduces the signs of aging.

GIVEAWAY!

Hello Joburgers, we love these products so much that we’re giving some away! Want to win one of three amazing Hannon hampers valued at R2 650 each, packed with an array of skincare products? All you have to do is head on over to Hellojoburg.co.za to enter.

entertainment Weird & strange facts about the movie

The creator of the Annie musical hated the movie.

Albert Finney, who played Warbucks, “was an Englishman who screamed” and Carol Burnett, who played Hannigan was “a man-crazy drunk.” These were just two comments that Martin Charnin made about the Broadway hit.

Annie takes centre stage Bet your bottom dollar this show will be amazing!

W

e tried really hard not to break out into song every time we started a new paragraph here, but with Annie kicking off at Montecasino from October 12th – we just couldn’t help ourselves. It’s a hard knock life!

Words Carly Ritz

Musical fans are in for a treat as the popular story of eleven-year old orphan Annie, set in New York during the Great Depression, (with her bevvy of friends, Kate, Tessie, Pepper, July and Duffy) comes to life on stage.

Never missing a musical trick, theatre stalwarts Pieter Toerien and Hazel Feldman present The World’s Favourite Family Musical Annie in Association with Michael Harrison Entertainment and David Ian Productions.

The story is one of a feisty red headed orphan girl who refused to give up that she would find her real parents. Annie’s luck changes when

she is chosen to spend Christmas at the home of a famous billionaire Oliver Warbucks (um, hello pick us please!). Then there’s meanspirited Miss Hannigan and a pair of con artists trying to make life difficult for Annie at every turn. Good beats evil in this story and obviously, it comes with that good old soppy but inspiring musical playlist weaved in until the very end. You really don’t want to miss this one so book tickets now. H 3 011 510 7472 5 www.tsogosun.com/montecasino T @montecasinoza

Venue: The Teatro at Montecasino Tickets: R150 to R500 Performance Times: • Tuesday to Friday at 8pm, • Saturday at 3pm and 8pm, • Sunday at 2pm and 5.30pm

8000 girls auditioned to be Annie Never in history has any child wanted to be an orphan than when it came to the casting of the Annie role. Auditions for the films started in 1980. Aileen Quinn ended up being cast as Annie in the film and was also in the Broadway production, but originally auditioned as an extra orphan.

Aileen Quinn remains famous for her role as Annie in 1982 Cast preferences Bette Midler was the first choice for the role of Miss Hannigan but eventually went to Carrol Bernett. Albert Finney was not the first choice for Daddy Warbucks. Sean Connery just didn’t want to perform bald for the role.

This one’s a winner! New Jersey’s governor signed a law to allow the child actors in the movie to work at night.

In a movie about giving a young girl a fair shot in life, we find this story to be a real gem. Some of the scenes in the film were shot in the middle of the night. At the time, the New Jersey child labour law didn’t allow kids to make movies between the hours of 11.30pm and 7am. More night hours were needed to shoot, so the Governor at the time, Brendan Byrne took a helicopter to the set to sign a bill to amend the law.

D

Don’t let your budget get you down!

estination weddings are on the rise in South Africa, but jetting off for your besties nuptials can leave a rather large dent in your bank account. Luckily, there’s a way you can join the party without it costing you an arm or a leg.

We at Hello Joburg love a good destination wedding… so does the Splendid Wedding Company and Avios, so they complied a few handy tips below. “Like all travel, destination and time of year is a big cost factor. Season, prominent events and other elements influence travel prices, which in most cases fall on the wedding guests to pay,” explained Evegenia Poplett from the Splendid Wedding Company.

Photos Jessica Notelo Photography www.jessicanotelo.co.za

COUPLES SHOULD CONSIDER… Choosing the date: What’s the point of a party if no one can come? Make sure your wedding date suits the important people who need to be at the ceremony, and that it doesn’t conflict with religious holidays or annual events as they may impact your wedding, travel and accommodation rates.

the Date’ as soon as the venue and date are confirmed so that your guests have a while to consider travel options and save up for the trip.

GUESTS SHOULD CONSIDER… Don’t diss the destination: You were invited for a reason. The bridal couple are aware that it’s a schlep for everyone to get there, but you were obviously important enough to get an invite, so don’t go around badmouthing the fact that travel is required.

Don’t overcommit: Getting the ‘Save the Date’ can be exciting, but if you’re not sure whether you can make the trek to the destination, then don’t RSVP until you’re sure. Your ‘Yay’ or ‘Nay’ is vital to the bride’s planning process – and you don’t mess with the bride!

Get some advice: Wedding consultants and companies know what they’re talking about, so use them to get a better understanding of what it takes to plan a wedding away.

Get a piggy bank: We can bet that the bride and groom aren’t expecting a giant gift, they just want you to be there. So try and use all your extra cash to make sure you’re there.

Alternatively, you can sign up with a free travel rewards programme, like Avios and collect points whenever you swipe your card at Pick ‘n Pay or BP. Then you can use the points to pay towards flights and accommodation. H

With such a wide variety of products, Sedgars Home suggest that you choose items which speak to who you are so you will always feel connected to your home. Afterall, a house is a building but a home is a feeling.

Have more of a retro aesthetic? Sedgars Home still has you covered. The Oxford L Shaped Lounge Suite has a nostalgic feeling to it, bringing warmth into the home. It’s got an adjustable backrest, offering total comfort.

A statement colour choice can set the mood for the room and with Sedgars Home, you can

At the end of the day, what we all really need in our homes is comfort. Finding cozy furniture that looks stunning can often be difficult.

Looking for a gorgeous place to relax? Try the Sofia Lounge Suite. This piece is beautiful in its understated design, which is also what makes it so accommodating. Buying a suite like this makes for a really versatile decor choice as you can get throw cushions in a variety of fabrics. Match these fabrics to the colours and textures found throughout your living room, or decide to create a contrast for a bolder look.

We can all agree that your bedroom is your sanctuary. It’s your most private space, and should be your most treasured space.

You can visit Sedgars Home to pick up luxurious designer linens, or order tailor made cushions in fabrics which compliment your walls or artwork. The options are endless!

Your home can be your haven if you consider which type of aesthetic mood suits your personality and style. Trends come and go, but let’s admit that most of us won’t be buying new furniture every time a fresh trend comes into fashion.

Sedgars Home will definitely meet these standards and ensure that you get the assistance you need when selecting and ordering your perfect home decor. H 5 www.sedgarsonline.co.za @sedgarshome Hello Joburg • October 2016 • Hellojoburg.co.za

The south african flag

T

he South African national flag was first flown in April 1994, after the first free election in South Africa. It is designed by Frederick G Brownell and is the only flag in the world with six colours.

The flag means different things to different people. According to the flag’s designer, the red symbolizes the blood that was shed during the various wars and conflicts in the country. It is also suggested that the blue represents the sky and the two oceans that flank the country.

The green symbolises the farms and the rich, natural environment of the country, while the yellow represents the natural resources, particularly gold. Finally, it is said that the black represents black South Africans, while the white represents the white population of the country.

Good Luck What’s your earliest memory of music?

Juliet Harding, AKA Jules says: My earliest memory of music is watching my dad playing flamenco guitar in the lounge in the evenings and trying to get him to teach me his tricks.

Ben Peters’ earliest memory is listening to his mom’s vinyl collection and her teaching him how to put the needle on the record.

Define Jozi in three words Vibey, friendly, electric.

What inspired your latest local release ‘Thinking about you’?

Our latest release is actually ‘Find me in the Forest’ which was inspired by all our travels, touring abroad and getting a sense that you are floating from city to city, feeling very disconnected from home. I think we came to realise that ‘home’ will always be wherever we feel happy. ‘Thinking about You’ was our previous single which has been a much bigger hit than we had ever imagined! It’s a cover of a song by a group called London Beat from the 90’s.

What’s the best advice anyone has ever given you?

“Relax and enjoy the crises” - you can choose to stress about things or you can choose to not. The outcome is going to be the same so you might as well enjoy it!

Hello Joburg • October 2016 • Hellojoburg.co.za

What are you most inspired by when it comes to music in the 21st century?

So, so many artists and so, so many songs! From Adele and Imogen Heap, to Bonobo and Nora en Pure and everyone in between. The list would be pages long! We are most excited about acts that are merging live instruments with electronic music – naturally!

Who don’t you make eye contact with at parties?

Nobody, we make eye contact with everybody. The eyes are, after all, the windows to the soul.

An ice-cold draft or a warm glass of vino?

Depends on the weather.

What will be your most used summer hashtag? #TheNatureWithin - you will find out why soon! H T @goodlucklive f GoodLuckLive 5 www.goodlucklive.com
