I was lucky enough to be invited to a Zoom lunch with Rachel Kolisi, which was awesome because she comes across as such a powerhouse of a person. She is a businesswoman, philanthropist, and mom, and I believe she married some guy involved in a sport or something.

Kidding kidding, I totally know Siya Kolisi, I mean he is from my neck of the woods, he made the country proud as captain of SA’s World cup winning Rugby team and he gives of his time and resources generously, but this post is not about him, it’s about a mom navigating lockdown life, who happens to have some solid ideas that could work for us. A big thank you to BLC Attorneys for inviting me to the insightful event.

So I’ve been seeing the three ingredient banana bread recipe everywhere and thought I’d be nice and try it out for us all…

This recipe only used bananas, flour and condensed milk… How easy is that.

When Denny Mushrooms sent me a hamper of their goodies I was super excited because not only could I chat to you guys about their charity endeavors… I got to get creative in the kitchen.

Here are some of the meals I made, I hope they can inspire you to #addgoodness and create some yummy #wintercomforts

As many of you may know, we are team Pure Beginnings over here. So
when someone pointed out that they also stock products targeted at
adults I had to try.

I tried out their body wash, lotion, shaving cream, and deodorant and
this is what I found.

Eucalyptus and peppermint milk bath is a triple threat. It’s great for your skin, awesome for congestion and makes a cute gift

These were part of my last #uthexperience gift bag and I packaged it in no sew bags

So why am I sharing simple ways you can add goodness, well honestly, it is because life is so difficult right now. Everyone is going through “the most” and I’ve found in my own life that helping others helps me cope a little better.

I’ve been chatting to the guys at Denny Mushrooms and seeing all the little ways they have been able to add goodness to the lives of South Africans during lockdown has really inspired me.
