Good Sundae

Sunday's will never be the same again...

Durban's latest craze is Good Sundae, an event hosted by Red Key concepts which has been successfully running for the past couple of months. GS provides a great venue, where like-minded party people can socialise whilst enjoying some great tunes and sun downers. Unlike conventional Sunday sessions, Good Sundae's are trendy, more vibey and ooze swag.

Durbanites and visitors can all enjoy an afternoon out with friends or go out to meet new people and indulge in the good music and ambiance that Good Sundae's have become known for. 

Our family holiday in Dubai!

So from the 23rd of August until the 03rd of September we took a family vacation to beautiful Dubai UAE. Our mom flew down from Saudi Arabia and we took a flight on Qatar airways from South Africa. The entire trip was truly amazing, even the flights back and fourth. Qatar airlines gave us star treatment on our journeys, providing top of the range entertainment, service and food! Here's a sneak peek of some of the things we did on this AMAZING trip of a lifetime...

This pic was taken on our desert tour where we had the opportunity to mix with tourists form around the world. We were treated to a 4x4 tour around the desert and when we arrived at the camp we enjoyed a 4 star buffet fit for Arabian Kings and Queens.

The trip allowed us to visit many malls throughout Dubai and on our trips we picked up quite a few things...Zara was our 3rd home away from home and that's where we shopped till we literally dropped, lol...

Fun things to do this Summer

1. Good Company
Summer is a great time for you and your friends to get together and escape the Winter blues. One way of going about it is by arranging a mini-pool tournament amongst your group of friends: my favourite spot is Villans Bar in Glenwood. It is a chilled out spot where you can shoot some pol whilst shooting down a couple of drinks...

Here are some other spots you can explore on your visit:
