Breathe Salon and Spa Review & Competition

Choice kills me. I'm that girl sitting in the restaurant, intently reading the menu while the rest of the table burn holes of hatred through it, as they wait for me to choose. And the same goes the spa:

"What treatment are you having today?"
"Uhhh"
"Hello?
"Uhhhhhh"
"Hello? Anyone there?"
"What even are you asking me questions for?!"

This said, spa treatments are often an easier choice, because I go with the one I can afford.

Until now. Until I was invited to The Breathe Spa & Hair Salon.

Sit down or you may hurt yourself. No, sit. Are you sitting? Good. Now read this:

400 buckaroodles for 3 treatments over 90 minutes? You've got to be kidding me.

Located in the heart of the Winelands, on the Pearl Valley Golf Estate, Breathe offer a full range of treatments from manicures and pedicures, to hair styling, hair and eyelash extensions, body treatments, and more.

After a scenic 45 minute drive (this is a lie, I am terrified of driving to places I don't know, but for most it would be considered scenic) I was ready to get some spa in my life. Clothes off, robe on, tour time then... relax.

I wasn't actually able to try the full Winter Special: I'd just had gelish done on my fingers and toes and had an event a few hours later so I was worried that I would have a facial break out. Bad timing Kayli. So after an amazingly relaxing back massage, I had reflexology for the first time. And guess what, apparently my body is very healthy and calm. How do I know this? Because the therapist kept telling me that a certain prod would hurt and nothing did. Yes, I am the epitome of health, pass me another burger and chips, dammit.

Whether you go for 30 minutes, for the day, or you even book the venue for corporate events or pamper parties (they can even do kiddies birthday parties) you are in for a good time. Not only is Breathe beautiful, it's intimate, unpretentious and I was comfortable from the minute I arrived - literally and figuratively.

The Irit Noble Show Competition

As some of you may know, in the year after you lose a parent, Jewish mourning laws stop you from doing certain things. One of them is going to shows. So when I was offered tickets to the incredible Irit Noble’s new show, The Irit Noble Show, I sadly had to turn them down. Happily for you guys, I’ve decided to give them away!

This exclusive (age restriction 16, I’ll have you know) show, is only running from the 11 - 21 June, at the Galloway Theatre. If you’ve seen Irit perform, you’ll know she is quirky, naughty and very, very funny. Expect a “comedy-cabaret show presenting big-band songs interspersed with sexy, sassy sometimes outrageous stories recounted in her inimitably casual, conversational, stand-up comedy style.” There are also guest appearances from musicians like Lionel Bastos and Shen Winberg.

Bookings can be made with The Waterfront Theatre School at www.waterfronttheatreschool.co.za at R100 per ticket. Group booking special also available – book 6 seats and only pay for 5.

Keep up with the goings-on online here:

A Grand Affaire - Sunflower Fund Fundraiser (competition)

The Sunflower Fund was formed in 1999 to help The South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR) in their efforts to educate, find donors and save lives.

"Due to the 1:100 000 chance of finding a compatible donor, at least 100 000 donors are needed for a Registry to function effectively and in South Africa, the Registry should ideally have 400 000 donors representative of all ethnic groups."

This year they are having a fabulous fund raiser at The Grand and I have two tickets worth R1300 to give away!

For R650 you'll get welcome drinks, a "floating feast", entertainment from DJ Fresh, Rory Eliot and Ard Matthews. Plus there will be a silent auction and plenty lucky draws on the night.
