{Night Golf}

Have you heard of the phenomenon that is "Night golf"? Well, tonight at 6:00pm at Victoria Country Club in PMB, I am going to try and play golf in the dark.

The coolest thing has to be the golf balls that have LED sticks inside to make your ball "glow-in-the-dark". It will make finding my ball in the rough just that much easier!

Apparently they light up the fairways with glow-sticks so we can see where we are going. I haven't played there in ages so I count that as a disadvantage as I might not see the bunkers or pools of water with limited light.

Wish me luck!!

{Rosehurst}

Rosehurst is a lovely cafe at 239 Boom Street in Pietermaritzburg. It has the most delightful shop that keeps your eyes entertained for however long you like!

A fabulous place to buy gifts for family and friends of all ages. I bought a duck-egg blue metal magnet of Africa with a heart shape cut out by South Africa. It's so beautiful!

The food is well presented and the atmosphere is great! My favorite are the cotton napkins, makes me feel like a real lady! Try and get a table on the grass with an umbrella to give you some shade if you need.

Call them on 033 394 1443 if you want to treat yourself.

{Herbalife}

My Herbalife Formula 1 shake arrived last week and it was worth every cent!

I am taking it because I want to make sure I have at least one very nutritious meal a day. If you want to loose weight, you supplement the shake for two meals a day.

You can have it as an on_the_go breakfast shake or whenever and however you like! I take it to work everyday as my lunch meal. No more slaving away making cheese and ham sandwiches every morning! I also have a small snack at tea time, like a banana and some peanuts and raisins.

It comes in a few flavours like Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Tropical fruit and Cookies & Cream.

One of my friends is a Herbalife distributor so if you are interested I can give you her details! She is great...gives you all the info and support! Check out her blog with amazing recipe's using Herbalife products: http://slinkyshakes.wordpress.com/

{Karkloof Farmer's Market}

Can you believe I went to the Karkloof Farmer's Market for the first time this weekend, after living in Hilton for about 22 years. Our friends told us to meet them there for breakfast at 7:30am on Saturday. Ok... I pushed it to 8 because a girl needs her Saturday sleep in!

We had a Moccachino and took a stroll around the stalls looking at fresh bread, fruit, veg, cheese, Wedgewood Nougat and biltong. My favourite had to be the "Mother-in-law's revenge" chili sauce.

With little knowledge of what to wear to a farmer's market -I went with track pants and takkies. I won't do that again! Pumps, jeans and a nice shirt/jacket will do as the market is in a shed that has cement flooring. No mud!

So do yourself a favor and get there on a Saturday morning...just outside of Howick!

{Books i like}

I read this 3 years ago and I still get warm fuzzy feelings when I think about it. It is such a great "feel-good" book to read on a rainy day! It's a quick easy read with some humour and romance. Such a nice break from the crime novels I usually choose!

{Peppermint Crisp Tart}

Ingredients

1 x packet tennis biscuits
1 x tin of caramel treat
2 x 250 ml fresh cream (or can opt for low fat too)
400g Peppermint Crisp chocolate bars - grated (or Aero Mint chocolate will do) 

Instructions on how to make it

Cover the bottom of your dish with the tennis biscuits, making sure you cover the whole dish. Place the tin of caramel into a mixing bowl and mix until smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the cream until stiff peaks form.
Add the whipped cream and 100g of the grated peppermint crisp chocolate to the caramel and mix well.
Remember you are going to layer the tart, so don’t use all the mixture at once.
Spread the mixture evenly over the tennis biscuits.
Then add another layer of tennis biscuits and caramel mixture and continue until you reach the top.
Sprinkle the remaining peppermint crisp over the top and place in the fridge for 1 hour to set.
