I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS ARE HANDS-DOWN,
MY FAVOURITE TIME OF YEAR. EVER! BLAME IT ON THE EXCITEMENT
OF SUMMER PARTY PLANS, TIME SPENT WITH LOVED ONES OR THE
CONCEPT OF THANKSGIVING AND ITS OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPRESS
APPRECIATION FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE AND VALUE. OR SIMPLY THE
SPACE WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO TAKE FROM OUR FRENETIC LIVES OF
DO-ING, AND TO JUST REFLECT, SLOWLY FILLING OUR CREATIVE CUPS
AND JUST BE-ING
b ut while my list of “loves” at this time of year is endless, and I mostly feel a sense
of goodwill, I also have a particularly low tolerance for crowds, chaos and the
queues often experienced while facing festive season shopping. It would appear
that I’m not alone – most of the members of my team feel exactly the same way.
Moms don’t particularly look forward to the idea of trying to work through a long shopping
list with tired, over-stimulated children in tow. Numerous friends feel they generally
overspend on the wrong items every year, in an effort to get everyone a suitable gift, not
having a clue where to go, or what to get... And don’t get us started on the catering – the

with any questions, directions and store information or, in fact, anything that could make
your shopping trip more pleasurable – will be our first port of call when we get to the Mall.

scrambling for the correct change as between SnapScan and the Mall of Africa app, which
you’ll want to download stat, it’s all sorted. Painfree parking.
But with the magical family holiday extravaganza Fantasy of Light - The Secret Castle, which
runs every evening from 25 November until Christmas Eve, who will ever want to leave?
While all of this entertainment and convenience is important in making shopping easier
and more pleasurable, the ultimate end goal this festive season is that we all get to enjoy
more time celebrating, relaxing and having fun with our loved ones. Now isn’t that what
summer holidays – if not life in general – are all about?
Festive is fun. Festive is safe, and festive is easy this season. From all at Mall of Africa,
happy holidays!

EYEWEAR TRENDS
If you’re shopping for your next perfect
pair of sunglasses, the international trend
rules apply. According to sunglass experts
at Vision Works Mall Of Africa, here’s what
to look for:
Geometric shapes dominate with either
sharp or smoothed angles. The round
shape is extremely popular again - we
love the range of Gigi sunglasses from
Vision Works! Designers have played
with unique combinations - such as a
round shape within a square shaped outer
frame, making for unique looks.
Metal sunglasses are still big, but there
are loads of fresh new design inspirations
on the classic aviator, such as great new
frame materials.
The double nose bridge is everywhere
and there are limitless variations of this
from which to choose. Loads of attention
is on the zero base “flat” lenses.
Colours to look for include natural green
hues varying from rich, dark forest
shades, to fresh apple green. Other
prominent colours are grey, white, crystal
and yellow gold.

FABULOUS!
very sport needs a superhero, and when it
comes to braaiing, the legendary South African
BraaiBoy is the specialist to have on speed dial.
Having braaied every day for the last seven
years, Gareth Daniell (aka BraaiBoy) has braai ideas
for every occasion... and to suit every taste.
“Close friends will know that no matter where
we are or what we’re doing, come hell or high
water, there will be a braai at least once a day,”
Gareth says. “Sometimes it is inconvenient, yes…
For example when we were stranded on the side
of the road in Zambia at 11pm, but that’s why I
always carry a portable braai around with me.”
Gareth’s ultimate festive season dish is a
slow-roasted turkey (or chicken) on indirect heat.
“A spit also works really well, but when I get
together with my family over the holidays, I
like to do a potjie. It allows me to socialise with
everyone and enjoy their company and feed a lot
of people at the same time.”
What adventures will BraaiBoy be getting
up to this holiday? “I’ve got several trips
planned. I’ll be heading to Mozambique at the
beginning of December, and then we’re off to
Ballito for a huge family-day celebration just
before New Year’s. Feel free to come over and
say hi if you’re in the area – details will be on
my social media feeds and website.”
Here, we share our four favourite
Braaiboy summer recipes. The
ingredients are available from regular
supermarkets such as (Woolworths
(Shop 2027) and Checkers (Shop
1065). For full recipes, or to book

might be too star-struck to actually drink it! Then,
since I miss the family dog who’s living with my

George RR Martin, author of the Song of Ice and
Fire series of books, of which Game of Thrones
is the first – I just need to see how his mind
works. Andrea Bocelli – his voice moves me to
tears and incites such emotion, even though I
can’t understand a single word. Kevin Hart –
he is hilarious, and I believe he would be the
most charming guest. Finally, Dlynn Proctor,
the sommelier featured in the movie SOMM. I
would like to pick his brain about a lot of things
sommelier-related.
This time of year is about…

KNOWING WHERE TO SHOP We love
FOR WHAT!
Sunglasses are one of the most popular summer purchases, and while they’re
available at many stores, purchasing them from a reputable optometrist is by far
the wisest move you can make.
1. Sunglasses may not fit you perfectly when you buy them. Trained staff members
in an optometry practice have the knowledge and equipment to make the
correct adjustments, so that they sit correctly on your face. Gigi sunglasses, POA,
Vision Works (Shop 1061)
2. Sunglasses purchased at Vision Works in Mall Of Africa for R650 and above
have the added benefit of a free one-year breakage protection cover against
accidental damage.
3. Vision Works can repair your designer sunglasses or order a replacement part,
saving you from having to purchase a new pair.
4. Staff members at an optometrist like Vision Works are trained to help you
select either a gorgeous fashion forward frame to suit you or the best sunglasses
to enhance your cycling or golf game. Sunglasses, R130,
5. If you want to have your sunglasses fitted with prescription lenses, Vision Forever 21 (Shop 1027)
Works can provide that service. Not all sunglasses are compatible with scripted
lenses, and the staff at Vision Works can guide you in your selection to try and
match fashion with function.
(If you aren’t sure what your prescription should be or have not had a recent eye
test, then the optometrist can also provide a comprehensive eye test to determine
your correct prescription. Vision Works currently offer a special discount on eye
tests: R90 for a comprehensive eye test. Don’t miss out on this great offer.)
