A Weekend of Luxury at Brahman Hills

I recently was fortunate to go for a long weekend at Brahman Hills and soon discovered that the venue and location were truly stunning! Situated near Nottingham Road in the KZN Midlands, surrounded by natural forest, this really is a place you do not want to miss. We arrived to a welcome glass of bubbles and a tour of the venue, including their fabulous restaurant ’89 on Copper’, which is stylish yet relaxing. The restaurant is situated in the cellar and the designer has used shiny copper pipes as accents against the rustic stone and wooden textures – with vintage bottles of wine and port stored in the bare brick walls, it works beautifully. We then viewed the rest of the hotel and accommodation before being whisked off to our own self-catering cottage, where we were to spend the weekend – this came complete with an outdoor jacuzzi! The cottage accommodates up to 9 people, and is perfect for family gatherings or a girlie weekend. Bright and early the next morning we enjoyed a lovely 2.5 hour

Umg

walk in the picturesque Blue Crane Reserve, surrounded by gentle Brahman cattle. Our next surprise of the weekend was a delicious lunch, lots more bubbles and an afternoon of pure indulgence in the Brahman Hills Spa – I could’ve stayed there forever, I have never experienced anything quite like it. The day ended with a sumptuous 5 course wine pairing dinner in the cellar at ’89 on Copper’, before we retired to our cottage with full tummies and warm hearts. I had to leave early the next day, so I didn’t get a chance to experience The Midlands Kitchen for lunch but with 15 kitchens to choose from, I will certainly be heading back! Brahman Hills also hosts weddings at their waterside chapel and have facilities for 10 to 380 guests at the reception. They can even hold conferences at the hotel or in the Agility Hub.

Everyday Life

REMEMBER YOU! Woman!

History has shown that women are incredibly powerful beings! This is evident when we look at how dramatically our roles have changed in the last two or three generations. How many women reading these words had a grandmother or great-grandmother working as a full-time professional? My suspicion is that it was very rare... In a short time, we women have evolved from full-time homemakers into entrepreneurs, professionals and full-time employees while still fulfilling the roles of homemaker, nurturer, parent and partner.

What can be done about this in the modern world? By bringing the focus back to you, the individual, who chooses to fulfil all these roles successfully – making you the priority, not for selfish reasons but because you realise that if you lose your footwork, the negative implications will greatly overshadow the time invested in yourself. When we take charge of our minds, thoughts and feelings, the results will be hugely beneficial! Increased energy, boosted productivity and enjoyment in every role we choose to play in the current day. You have an immensely powerful mind – you have a choice in how you process information; therefore what might overwhelm you now, could be perceived and processed as enjoyment.

Being spread so thinly, we often forget about ourselves and if we do remember, we only remember to take care of our exterior – but what about our interior...? Our mind, thoughts and feelings – the part of us that drives the rest. How easily do we lose the Imagine having your entire mind supporting balance of work, self-care and other-care? you in every area of your life...

Their supplements incorporate herbs that have traditionally been used in Ayurvedic and African herbal treatments to reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus, and improve sleep. A key ingredient in the range is Sceletium Tortuosum, a plant that commonly occurs in the Karoo and helps to improve serotonin function in the brain and elevate mood. It has traditionally been used by the Khoisan to reduce stress, depression and anxiety without sedating.

The Importance of Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is very important for your baby and for you. Lansinoh® has put together some information to help you to succeed in your breastfeeding goals.

Breastfeeding your new-born baby Your first milk (colostrum) may be small in quantity, but it is rich in everything he needs.

As it passes through your baby’s digestive system, it lines his stomach and intestines to better defend against bacteria and viruses.

Your colostrum also helps him to produce his first stool to excrete meconium (the substances ingested while in the womb).

Why breastfeeding is important for your baby Your breastmilk is the only food designed specifically for your baby. It changes as he grows, to suit his needs.

There are both short and long term benefits for your baby if you breastfeed exclusively for the recommended time of six months.

• Breastfed babies have fewer and less severe upper and lower respiratory tract infections; DR DANIELLE ARMSTRONG MBChB (UCT)

GENERAL PRACTITIONER Special Interest in Child Health 116 Florida Road, Morningside T: 031 312 2126

drdaniellearmstrong@gmail.com

they are less likely to need hospitalisation.

• Ear infections are 3 to 4 times more common in infants who are not breastfed.

• Breastmilk has factors which protect against urinary tract infections. • Breastfed babies are less likely to suffer from diarrhoea and gastroenteritis. • Constipation is much more common in formula fed infants.

• Breastfed babies respond better to vaccines, as their immune system is more mature. • Breastfeeding is protective against SIDS, especially exclusive breastfeeding.

• Breastmilk contains vital substances to help the development of your baby’s brain, retina and central nervous system, as well as growth factors and hormones.

There are many more ways in which breastfeeding benefits mum and baby, and you can read the full article on www. mumsmail.com.

Dr Des @ Home: Organ Donation Saves Lives Did you know that you can help up to 50 people by donating your corneas, skin, bone, tendons and heart valves? The list of patients waiting for an organ donor is growing as you read this article!

Approximately 79 patients receive organ transplants every day, but unfortunately another 18 die whilst waiting. In other words, organ donation is the ultimate gift – and one in great demand. There are two kinds of organ donation: living and deceased. Deceased donors can provide six types of organs (kidney, pancreas, liver, lungs, heart, and intestines) as well as tissues (such as bones, skin, heart valves, and veins) and corneas. Living donors can provide a kidney or a portion of a liver, lung, or intestine. In some cases living donors can provide eyes and tissues.

Organ donation saves lives, and anyone – regardless of age or medical history – can

sign up to be an organ donor upon his or her death. As with any surgery, there are risks – but living donation does not change life expectancy, and most donors live happy, healthy, and normal lives after recovering from the procedure. For living kidney donors, the remaining kidney will enlarge slightly to do the work that two healthy kidneys share. The liver has the ability to regenerate and regain full function. Lungs and pancreas do not regenerate, but donors usually have no problems with reduced function.

The bottom line is: organ donation saves lives.

How do you become a potential organ/ tissue donor? The process is straightforward.

Register online or call the Organ Donor Foundation’s toll free line on 0800 22 66 11.

Posh Barnyard Party

Oink, moo and cock-a-doodle-do! We just adore a cute barnyard party theme. This is a perfect solution for your little one’s birthday celebration, or even just for a fun day with little friends. Let your imagination guide you with the setup for an extra special barnyard celebration – so let’s get creative!

and certainly a posh replacement for the real thing! Hay bales add another layer of wonder to the barnyard-themed setup.

Display party snacks and treats on a rustic farm-style table in a mixed variety of platters and jars. Mini hay bales and patches of green grass-like mats add some fun For seating, set up a wooden trestle table decorative elements to the display. (a perfect fit for the theme) with farmthemed colouring-in pages as placemats. DIY barnyard fun for the whole family – Little toy cows, sheep, horses and pigs make enjoy! for perfect centrepieces. Little white picket fence-style containers or even colourful little buckets are great as a display container for crayons, and add a pop of colour.

Another element we absolutely adore is the large (almost life-size!) animal balloons – the kids love them and so do we! Tie these to some hay bales as a finishing touch. Place Source: Posh Events, them in every corner of the venue, it will keep the little guests entertained and in events@poshevents.co.za, 076 985 0438, www.poshevents.co.za. awe.
