en vertrek saam met Mathys Roets en<br />
Dana Snyman op ‘n bittersoet storiereis,<br />
Mathys & Dana – Lag van die Huil,<br />
wat jou soms sal laat lag en soms ‘n<br />
traan sal laat stort – nes die lewe maar<br />
is. Luister uit vir die liedjie deur Nardus<br />
du Plooy, “In My Lewe”– behalwe vir<br />
Mathys het dit ook spesiale betekenis<br />
vir Dana. Nardus het die liedjie jare<br />
gelede op die begrafnis van ‘n vriend<br />
van hul albei gesing. Die vriend het sy<br />
eie lewe geneem. Mathys vertel ook van<br />
sy vriendskap met Lucas Maree en dit<br />
het weer vir Dana herinner aan ‘n storie<br />
wat Lucas vertel het van hoe sy ouma<br />
op ‘n Sondagmiddag wou wegloop<br />
van Prieska af. “My ma wou ook soms<br />
wegloop van die platteland af,” sê Dana.<br />
“Ek het ‘n storie oor sulke vrouens om te<br />
vertel.” Kaartjies vir die vertoning by die<br />
Atterbury Teater is tussen R160 and R180<br />

CELEBRATING YOUNG SCIENTISTS DURING YOUTH MONTH<br />
Murendeni Lalamani Veterinary Nurse<br />
Murendeni’s job highlights<br />
• Caring for and looking after sick zoo animals and seeing them<br />
make a significant recovery.<br />
• The excitement of learning new techniques and working with a<br />
variety of captive animal species.<br />
Murendeni’s passion for caring for his pet while he was young fuelled<br />
his ambition to make a contribution in covering the gap of lack of<br />
qualified veterinary nursing professionals in the country. He holds a<br />
veterinary nursing diploma from the University of <strong>Pretoria</strong>, which he<br />
completed in 2014.<br />
Murendeni has had an exciting four years and three months of working<br />
as a veterinary nurse in the Research & Scientific Services Department<br />
at the National Zoological Garden, <strong>Pretoria</strong>.<br />
Murendeni’s day to day work with his team focuses mostly on animal<br />
health checks, marking of new-borns, checking the pharmacy<br />
inventory and game capture. He also gets to spend time in a wellequipped<br />
clinical pathology lab.<br />
Zwelakhe Zondi Scientific Authority Technician<br />
Zwelakhe’s job highlights<br />
• Attending the CITES CoP16 which was hosted by South Africa.<br />
Zwelakhe’s favourite school subject was natural science. His interest<br />
in nature was also inspired from watching National Geographic<br />
programmes. Seeing researchers out in the wild working with plants<br />
and animals affirmed his passion for this field. Furthermore, Zwelakhe’s<br />
desire to follow a different career path from what his peers wanted<br />
motivated him to pursue studies in the field of zoology. He holds a<br />
B.Sc. in zoology and an honours degree.<br />
Zwelakhe has been working in the natural science field for six<br />
years. He is currently working as a scientific authority technician<br />
in the Biodiversity Assessment and Monitoring Directorate and is<br />
based at the National Herbarium in the <strong>Pretoria</strong> National Botanical<br />
Garden. His job entails extracting and analysing the Convention on<br />
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora<br />
(CITES) trade data, which is used to prioritise species in trade that are<br />
of conservation concern. Zwelakhe conducts cycad nursery audits for<br />
CITES registration. He endorsed and developed Cynthia Giddy’s wild<br />
cycad characteristics which can be used to help distinguish between<br />
wild or artificially propagated cycads.<br />

Get your adrenalin pumping!<br />
Two young girls on their gap year go missing in<br />
Thailand; their families frantic, desperate and<br />
thrust into the international spotlight. A journalist<br />
wants to be first with the story, but keeps thinking<br />
of her own travelling son whom she hasn’t seen<br />
for two years. We raced through Fiona Barton’s<br />
The Suspect ... it’s gripping and full of twists to<br />
keep you guessing. Couldn’t put it down! Penguin,<br />
R290 • One death might be an accident. Two look<br />
like murder. A detective investigating the shooting<br />
of a man by his pregnant wife recognises her as<br />
the same woman who, apparently accidentally,<br />
shot her father 16 years before. Now she must find<br />
out if the woman has twice been a victim, or if<br />
she’s about to, once again, get away with murder.<br />
Never Tell by Lisa Gardner is all twists, turns and a<br />
thrilling read. Penguin, R290<br />
The Taking of Annie Thorne by CJ Tudor<br />
(The Chalk Man) is not an enjoyable read.<br />
But it’s one you won’t be able to put down.<br />
It’s the dark tale of Joe Thorn, a troubled<br />
man who returns to his home town ... a<br />
town where once, years ago, his sister went<br />
missing for two days and then came back.<br />
But although no one could put their finger<br />
on it, something was just wrong with little<br />
Annie. A twist which will give you shivers at<br />
the end! Penguin, R290 • In Out of the Dark,<br />
Gregg Hurwitz has the incredible Orphan X,<br />
Evan Smoak, working out how to kill the<br />
president of the USA. This is the fourth<br />
Orphan X novel ... once again a fast-paced,<br />
edge-of-your-seat, brilliant read. Penguin,<br />
R290 • Saints and Sinners is a rather macabre<br />
theme for a wedding ... even more so when<br />
a young woman is found murdered. With<br />
no means of identification and with all<br />
guests denying knowing her, psychologist<br />
Alex Delaware and LAPD Lieutenant Milo<br />
Sturgis have to question hundreds of guests<br />
to find out who the victim is and why she<br />
was murdered. In Jonathan Kellerman’s<br />
The Wedding Guest, the reception’s over, and<br />
the hunt for a killer is on! Century, R270<br />

PROMOTION<br />
Kalahari<br />
This month’s focus ... sensitive and sensitised skin<br />
Did you know that approximately 50 per cent of clients believe they<br />
suffer from sensitive skin? In fact, what they’re really experiencing<br />
is sensitised skin! Truly sensitive skin is usually genetically inherited<br />
and tends to be more prominent in younger skin. Due to the higher<br />
histamine levels in the body, sensitive skin can be more susceptible to<br />
inflammatory conditions, like psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema. For this<br />
particular skin type, the slightest irritation or provocation can cause<br />
a flare up as a result of allergies, pollution, chemical irritants, illness,<br />
extreme temperatures, and other undesirable external conditions.<br />
On the other hand, sensitised skin – also known as ‘reactive skin’ – is<br />
usually self-induced. This type of skin irritation can occur due to<br />
pre-existing conditions which have gone undiagnosed or untreated<br />
such as acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis and certain food allergies.<br />
The use of harsh chemical cosmetics, make-up, medicine, hormones<br />
and too many professional treatments which strip the skin’s natural<br />
hydrolipid barrier, are all major contributing factors. When allergens<br />
come into contact with intolerant skin, the body issues a full-blown<br />
immune response, releasing antibodies to attack the offending<br />
substance, resulting in visible reddening and inflammation.<br />
JUNE FOCUS<br />
Kalahari treatment of the<br />
month ... The Honeybush<br />
skin treatment<br />
The natural plant extracts found in our<br />
Honeybush Skin Treatment include rooibos<br />
tea, shea butter and Kigelia africana<br />
which will instantly soothe, hydrate and<br />
moisturise sensitised skin, without causing<br />
any further irritation. Not only is this a<br />
deeply nourishing treatment, but it is also<br />
the ideal phase 1 treatment with which<br />
to start your Kalahari Skincare journey.<br />
A trained Kalahari therapist will use this<br />
time to thoroughly assess your skin,<br />
design an effective treatment strategy and<br />
recommend homecare products specifically<br />
suited to address your skin concerns.<br />
Kalahari product of the month ...<br />
Phytoflora Serum<br />
When treating sensitive and sensitised skin<br />
conditions, controlling the skin’s natural flora balance<br />
is an important component in preventing a reaction.<br />
Our Phytoflora Serum contains a combination of<br />
Phyto-effective ingredients such as probiotics,<br />
nasturtium flower extract, red algae and<br />
malachite stone extract which maintain and<br />
balance the skin’s natural microbes. Further<br />
benefits of this serum include: radically<br />
improving the skin’s complex defence system<br />
and barrier function; cell oxygenation;<br />
protection against environmental pollutants<br />
and the overall prevention of cell-ageing. R252.<br />

Born and raised in <strong>Pretoria</strong>,<br />
Shaaista and Osman Osman<br />
both called Laudium home<br />
for many years before finally<br />
settling down in Centurion.<br />
Osman attended Central Islamic School<br />
in Laudium and Shaaista the <strong>Pretoria</strong><br />
Muslim School. And although they both<br />
called Laudium home at the time, the<br />
dynamic duo’s paths would only cross<br />
years later.<br />
“I think I was about six or seven years<br />
old when Bollywood shows were allowed<br />
to come back into South Africa after<br />
apartheid ended and a friend of my father<br />
organised a show with Amitabh Bachchan<br />
at the Sharks Rugby Stadium.<br />
“While standing in line to go in, I saw<br />
everyone waiting to greet the gentleman<br />
who had organised the show. He had a<br />
walkie-talkie in his hand and it was at that<br />
point that I wanted to be the guy with the<br />
walkie-talkie and not the guy on the stage.<br />
I guess I am blessed and fortunate to be<br />
living my dream today,” Osman explains<br />
his passion for events management.<br />
Little did he know then that his now<br />
wife, Shaaista, also had big dreams of one<br />
day owning her own events company.<br />
When she was just 18 years old, she<br />
started a company called Paragon<br />
Generation, which focused on the<br />
upliftment and development of skills<br />
education for everyone from minors all the<br />
way to tertiary level.<br />
“I organised a lot of small events before<br />
moving onto more private and corporate<br />
events,” the bubbly businesswoman says.<br />
In 2004, she started Regalo Ed Fragranza,<br />
one of the countries’ first online fragrance<br />
stores. She was importing from Paris and<br />
London as well as all over the world, and in<br />
2009 Blu Blood came into existence.<br />
Blu Blood is a lifestyle and<br />
communications company specialising in<br />
live events and entertainment throughout<br />
Africa.<br />
They are the leading producers of<br />
Bollywood events on the continent and<br />
on the local comedy front they own the<br />
brand Kings & Queens of Comedy, which<br />
tours throughout South Africa and plays<br />
to sold-out audiences.<br />
“We also have a public relations and<br />
communications arm that handles crisis<br />
management as well as PR, corporate<br />
profiling, artist management, a digital<br />
media agency and a print and design<br />
house, ” Osman explains.<br />
Although the couple grew up in the<br />
same community of Laudium, they never<br />
met until one day when they both used<br />
the services of the same graphic designer.<br />
Osman was organising one of his first<br />
events, the Laudium Community Bizarre<br />
and Shaaista needed some design work<br />
done for her Mama Africa campaign for<br />
Childline.<br />
“Shaaista demanded to be helped first<br />
and I decide to strike up a conversation<br />
– without any response. She was so<br />
beautiful ... but so out of my league! I did,<br />
however, get her phone number and a<br />
beautiful friendship soon started,” Osman<br />
fondly remembers their first encounter.<br />
“I can’t say that it was love at first<br />
sight, but it’s been the most amazing<br />
relationship that I have ever had, and it<br />
grew so strong and so deep that our love<br />
runs ever deep to this day. It’s a love that<br />
humbles and grounds us,” Shaaista adds.<br />
As if written in the stars, the couple soon<br />
after merged their lives and businesses,<br />
building it into the success story it is today.<br />
“Being the good husband that I am,<br />
I decided to relinquish my brand and melt<br />
my company into Shaaista’s company Blu<br />
Blood. Well, it was that and the fact that<br />
she had the better logo,” Osman jokes.<br />
So who does what? And how difficult is it<br />
really working so closely with a spouse?<br />
“Shaaista is very good with proposals;<br />
she is the one who comes up with all these<br />
crazy ideas. I’m the person that makes<br />
it happen, I’m the deal maker. I turn her<br />
crazy ideas into reality,”<br />
Working together so closely, it also helps<br />
if your spouse is your best friend.<br />
“You have to share the same vision and<br />
ambition and have the same goals to<br />
make things happen. Shaaista and I both<br />
know where we want to be and what we<br />
want for our brand and company. One<br />
difficult thing, however, is learning when<br />
to switch off and keep a positive point<br />
of view even during conflict times. For<br />
example, if you’re in the dog box at home,<br />
you’re business partner cannot give you<br />
the silent treatment at the office,” Osman<br />
explains. “You can’t take your work into<br />
the bedroom and you can’t take your<br />
bedroom into the workplace. That being<br />
said, Osman is an amazing individual and<br />
a real force of nature to work with. He<br />
pushes my boundaries and I push him<br />
too, but at the same time, we ground<br />
each other and that is an important asset,”<br />
Shaaista adds.<br />
“Call it the yin to my yang, north to<br />
south, east to west, day to night – I would<br />
not want to work with anyone else but<br />
him, and I am so privileged and honoured<br />
to do so every day of my life.”<br />
When the couple isn’t working, they like<br />
to relax at home with their two daughters,<br />
aged seven months and five years, and<br />
catch up on their favourite series.<br />
“It sounds very simplistic but in the<br />
hectic, crazy lifestyle that we lead, we find<br />
great solace and great pleasure in just<br />
relaxing which we don’t get a lot of during<br />
the week,” Shaaista says. Family means<br />
everything to the Osmans and somehow<br />
they make juggling family life and work<br />
look easy.<br />

For the love of<br />
writing<br />
Joan Hettema is no stranger in literary circles and has honed her writing skills over the<br />
years working in all aspects of the craft. Now, after a process of 13 years she’s published<br />
her book, Jacaranda Rain - A South African story and we wanted to find out more about<br />
this interesting local writer.<br />
Joan Hettema’s passion for reading<br />
and books began with her father<br />
reading her fairy tales, long before<br />
she could even read herself. This<br />
special relationship with the written word<br />
kickstarted a career in writing spanning<br />
several decades<br />
She has dabbled in journalism, written<br />
text for theatre programmes, worked<br />
on articles on scientific research and<br />
was a lecturer and judge for a national<br />
publication forum. These days she edits<br />
dissertations and other writing.<br />
“I love language as it reflects the<br />
workings of the human mind and heart.<br />
It has such variety and can express every<br />
nuance of thought and feeling,” says Joan,<br />
who attended Brooklyn Primary before<br />
matriculating at <strong>Pretoria</strong> High School for<br />
Girls.<br />
She even worked as a newspaper<br />
journalist for The <strong>Pretoria</strong> News, a career<br />
that she says completely started by<br />
chance.<br />
“I knew the journalists who worked as<br />
theatre critics for the newspaper and<br />
went to show them my baby son after<br />
he was born. They then told me that the<br />
newspaper was looking for a copy typist.<br />
“In those days, there were no cellphones,<br />
e-mails and so forth and the court<br />
reporter had to phone in the text of the<br />
story to the copy typist.<br />
“After a few months, the news editor<br />
said there was a vacancy for a reporter<br />
and asked if I would be interested.<br />
“I had worked for SA Panorama, a<br />
monthly glossy depicting the best<br />
of South Africa and published by the<br />
SA Information Services, as well as<br />
SA Digest, a weekly newsletter for the<br />
same department, so it was just a matter<br />
of adjusting to more stringent deadlines,”<br />
Joan explains.<br />
The <strong>Pretoria</strong>n is a self-confessed<br />
bookworm and holds multiple<br />
qualifications: a degree from the<br />
University of <strong>Pretoria</strong> majoring in English<br />
and Latin, a BA (Hons) English Language<br />
and Literature from Unisa and Troisième<br />
Degré from the Alliance Francaise.<br />
“This is quite simply an enduring<br />
curiosity and desire to know about<br />
everything possible. But true knowledge<br />
goes much deeper than book learning.<br />
Each person has to find the core<br />
themselves,” Joan adds.<br />
You might recognise her surname as<br />
apart from her own accolades, Joan’s<br />
husband was the late Jan Hettema,<br />
Springbok Olympic Cyclist and Springbok<br />
Rally Champion and her daughter is<br />
acclaimed singer, Helena Hettema.<br />
The Muckleneuk resident recently<br />
finished her book Jacaranda Rain: A<br />
South African Story. It is a tale within a<br />
tale and tells a personal story against<br />
the backdrop of the purple blooms of<br />
<strong>Pretoria</strong> renowned for its jacaranda trees.<br />
Spanning seven decades, the mood and<br />
atmosphere of South Africa come to life<br />
– from the time of the Second World War<br />
under the leadership of Jan Smuts – to<br />
more than 40 years of National Party rule<br />
and Nelson Mandela’s release after 27<br />
years of imprisonment and becoming<br />
president of the “Rainbow Nation” in 1994;<br />
and finally, a new era with the ascendancy<br />
of Cyril Ramaphosa in 2018. “The idea of<br />
the book just came to me and unfolded<br />
as I went along. Essentially it was done<br />
in a few months, but then the tidyingup<br />
process – taking out some bits and<br />
adding others – took another few years,”<br />
Joan explained the process.<br />
All events in the book really happened,<br />
as seen through her eyes. Some names<br />
have been changed, but she tried to<br />
depict the mood of the various decades<br />
and the mores that motivate people.<br />
All in all, the book took 13 years to<br />
complete and you can get your copy at<br />
Uppercase Books at Menlyn Maine and<br />
Protea Books in Hatfield. It is also available<br />
on Amazon and on Kindle as an e-book.<br />
Any advice for up-and-coming writers<br />
hoping to pin down their story in book<br />
form? “If you have an idea just sit down<br />
and start writing. When the time is right<br />
it will simply flow out of you. The inner<br />
dialogue and self-doubt can hold one<br />
up. It is also very lonely – it is fruitless to<br />
discuss your ideas with others, as this<br />
can blur the concept and confuse one’s<br />
inspiration,” she says.<br />
“When I start writing, I cannot stop. This<br />
usually takes place in the early hours of<br />
the morning just before and after sunrise.<br />
One carries on for a few hours until<br />
exhausted. However, everyone has their<br />
own pattern of working,” she adds.<br />
When Joan is not busy writing, she<br />
loves to read, sew or take long walks with<br />
her dog Rex-Star. She’s a self-confessed<br />
hermit. At present Hher favourite author<br />
is the South African, Wilbur Smith. “He is<br />
able to recreate dialogue that is totally<br />
authentic and is a master of action and<br />
suspense. He was also once a journalist<br />
and this can be seen in his style.<br />
* Joan’s book, Jacaranda Rain: A South<br />
African Story, will be launched at the Arts<br />
Association <strong>Pretoria</strong> in Mackie St (off<br />
Queen Wilhelmina) next to the Trim Park,<br />
Nieuw-Muckleneuk on 8 <strong>June</strong>. The event<br />
will start at 10:30am for 11am.<br />

SUITS<br />
BE<br />
GONE<br />
Who says only women care about fashion? We live in modern times and male fashion looks<br />
can rival their female counterparts any day. But what to wear if suits are not your thing?<br />
Here are a few ideas:<br />
If you’re a man who dreads getting<br />
ready for the office in the morning,<br />
we have a few ideas that might help,<br />
courtesy of Crate|ov Clothes stylist, Big<br />
Kev.<br />
“The good news is that suits are officially<br />
out! That’s right, new reports show that<br />
only 10% of men in the workplace still<br />
wear a suit to work,” Big Kev says.<br />
This after the majority of men polled<br />
said that the change was due to suits just<br />
being too uncomfortable. A more casual,<br />
yet still professional approach is more<br />
comfortable and affordable.<br />
“Wearing an outfit of their choice gives<br />
men a chance to express themselves and<br />
their personalities better, said the study,”<br />
Big Kev adds.<br />
Most workplaces are becoming more<br />
chilled: less of a hierarchy and more of<br />
a team. Long gone are the days where<br />
bosses were seen as scary authoritarian<br />
figures – these days they function more<br />
as coaches and facilitators. So no wonder<br />
dress codes are becoming much less<br />
formal and a lot more casual.<br />
Now don’t go thinking that suits are out<br />
completely.<br />
It used to be that men wore suits<br />
during the day while the more casual<br />
attire were kept for night time. But if<br />
you’re still keen on a suit, most men are<br />
dressing down their suits for after-work<br />
drinks, events or dates. Simply leave off<br />
the tie and go for more casual shoes to<br />
18 Get It <strong>Pretoria</strong> <strong>June</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />
show off your ensemble in a cooler way.<br />
So what to wear when ditching the suit?<br />
JACKETS AND KNITS<br />
A sports jacket can dress up jeans in a<br />
flash while still being less formal than a<br />
blazer. Jerseys and sweaters are also a<br />
good idea in cooler weather.<br />
Opt for a lightweight knit in solid colours<br />
that doesn’t clash with whatever else<br />
you’re wearing. Stay clear of anything too<br />
baggy and make sure your clothes fit you<br />
right.<br />

BUTTON DOWNS AND PANTS<br />
It is important to remember that<br />
professionalism is key.<br />
Smart jeans (not ripped) or chinos in<br />
conservative colours like navy, black<br />
or beige, with a button down solid<br />
colour shirt will look smart in that cool,<br />
unplanned way.<br />

KICKS<br />
You know what they say – shoes make the<br />
man, so don’t let your footwear drag you<br />
down. Sneakers are only allowed if your<br />
business is super casual and only if your<br />
boss wears them too. We’d check, just to<br />
make sure.<br />
As a more casual alternative, rather<br />
opt for some soft leather loafers or dress<br />
shoes. Big Kev suggests investing in a pair<br />
of black and brown loafers so you can<br />
wear the right colour with the right pants.<br />

TIP: Expressing your individuality and<br />
style through fashion while at the office<br />
should reflect who you are, but within the<br />
confines of professionalism.<br />
If you’re not sure what your work style is,<br />
why not get the Crate|ov Clothes team to<br />

Hot new<br />
yoga trend<br />
Heat and sweat is synonymous with exercise, but usually don’t involve pods.<br />
Ever heard of hotpod yoga? Yeah, it’s a thing, and we’re going to tell you all<br />
about it.<br />
You might be familiar with yoga<br />
in its more traditional form. But<br />
this is something completely<br />
different.<br />
Introducing Hotpod Yoga. Its aim? To<br />
help you breathe deeper, stretch further<br />
and sweat harder.<br />
As you can imagine, it is a bit different<br />
than your average yoga class, so if it is<br />
your first time, remember to take it slow<br />
and easy.<br />
Apart from the many physical and<br />
mental benefits of yoga, yoga seek to<br />
balance the body and mind through<br />
physical exercises and controlled<br />
breathing.<br />
It is believed that meditative practices<br />
helps to release stress and anxiety,<br />
22 Get It <strong>Pretoria</strong> <strong>June</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />
promoting clarity of mind, better focus<br />
and increased energy and alertness.<br />
Hotpod Yoga, however, should not be<br />
confused with Bikram, the well-known<br />
US-based hot yoga franchise.<br />
Bikram is a strict practice, made up of<br />
26 postures, practised for 90 minutes.<br />
Some Hotpod postures are similar to the<br />
Bikram sequence, as both forms derive<br />
from the same root of yoga.<br />
Hotpod classes are an hour (or 45 min)<br />
long, slightly less hot, typically more<br />
flowing and are less prescriptive –<br />
classes vary.<br />
The pods allow for a studio to be<br />
created pretty much anywhere and<br />
creates a tranquil environment in which<br />
to practise the art of yoga. And did we<br />
mention that it’s inflatable?!<br />
The pods are heated to 37°C to help<br />
the heart and lungs work a little harder.<br />
This will help you burn more calories,<br />
giving you a great cardio workout.<br />
The warmer temperature also<br />
increases flexibility and can prevent<br />
injury while sweating will help eliminate<br />
toxins and help cleanse the body.<br />
Hotpod Yoga was launched in 2013<br />
with a simple mission: to reinvent yoga<br />
for the modern world.<br />
The idea was to create a yoga<br />
experience like no other, and hopefully<br />
attract more people to the practice.<br />
Today, there are over 50 locations<br />
across eight countries practising<br />
Hotpod Yoga.
ABOUT THE CLASSES<br />
Interested in joining a class? Then get<br />
ready for the experience of your life, and<br />
lots of sweat.<br />
As the name suggests, classes all take<br />
place within a heated environment. And<br />
just like regular yoga, the atmosphere is<br />
calm and tranquil.<br />
Classes are rooted in Vinyasa Flow<br />
– a style of yoga that synchronises<br />
movement and breathing, to work the<br />
body and calm the mind.<br />
Each class type will follow a familiar<br />
structure and flow, but teachers do<br />
get to bring their own individual<br />
personalities and styles to make each<br />
class a little different from the other.<br />
THE PODS<br />
Apart from being inflatable, the pods<br />
also glow with a special purple hue. And<br />
it is no coincidence either.<br />
The calming colour will help to<br />
immerse deeply into the practice,<br />
calming the mind, quietening racing<br />
thoughts and transporting you a million<br />
miles from the outside world.<br />
Music also plays a very big part in each<br />
training session and you will definitely<br />
not hear any pan pipes. Hotpod Yoga<br />
music is all about urban-chill beats to<br />
help enhance your flow and take you<br />
deeper into your class.<br />
And the scent … You might notice a<br />
distinct blend of bergamot, lavender<br />
and orange fragrance in the air inside<br />
the pods. This is also done to unwind<br />
the mind and awaken the senses.<br />
WHAT TO PACK<br />
Comfort is key and gym clothing is<br />
recommended – leggings, shorts and<br />
vest tops as it does get sweaty.<br />
Also do not forget to bring water and<br />
a towel to lay on your mat. Mats are<br />
provided.<br />
TRY IT FOR YOURSELF<br />
To understand it fully, you might want to<br />
go try it out for yourself. But remember<br />
to book in advance, as only 20 people<br />
are allowed in a pod.<br />
No under-16s are allowed, but keep an<br />
eye out for the occasional kids class.<br />
Classes are available in Menlo Park and<br />
Olympus. Purchase a single-class pass or<br />
join multipack.<br />
Class passes never expire so you can<br />
join whenever you want. Memberships<br />
are also a possibility if you want to<br />
attend Hotpod Yoga on a regular basis.<br />

or for when you just want to impress the<br />
man in your life, check out this nifty guide<br />
from SAB (South African Breweries) to<br />
taste beer like a pro.<br />
STEP 1:<br />
CLEANSE YOUR PALATE<br />
Anything you consume prior to tasting<br />
your beer can influence the taste, so<br />
cleanse or refresh your mouth. Cheese or<br />
crackers can affect your palate’s sensitivity<br />
to the flavours of certain beers, so keep it<br />
simple and use water.<br />
STEP 2:<br />
OBSERVE THE COLOUR<br />
Observe your beer carefully. The colour<br />
will represent what type of brew it is –<br />
pilsners are a pale straw while American<br />
and English Ales have a golden hue,<br />
porters and stouts are amber brown and<br />
black.<br />
If you are going to taste several<br />
different beers, it is better to taste from<br />
light to dark. This will help you focus on<br />
the developing flavour intensity and<br />
characteristics of the beer style.<br />
STEP 3:<br />
GET A QUICK WHIFF OF THE AROMA<br />
After observing your beer, move the glass<br />
past your nose once or twice – this action<br />
is known as “the drive by”. Your nostrils<br />
and taste buds work together, so your<br />
sense of smell will give you vital clues<br />
about the type of beer you are tasting.<br />
You should be able to pick up roast<br />
notes typical of malts; or pine, citrus,<br />
pepper, and fresh cut grass from the hops;<br />
or perhaps even hints of yeast.<br />
This is when you would detect<br />
undesirable aromas which are called<br />
“off flavours”. The most common one is a<br />
sulphur-type flavour, which can happen<br />
in beers which have been exposed to too<br />
much light. This “off flavour” is somewhat<br />
like percolating coffee, with some people<br />
likening its aroma to the smell of tinned<br />
tuna. Other “off flavours” are aromas like<br />
vinegar and butterscotch toffee, which are<br />
undesirable in beer styles such as lagers.<br />
Always sniff before you take the first<br />
sip – once you swallow a sip of beer,<br />
your ability to smell it will be slightly<br />
diminished.<br />
STEP 4:<br />
GIVE IT A SWIRL<br />
Swirl the glass gently – this releases<br />
the volatiles, which are trapped and<br />
concentrated in the glass. Swirling knocks<br />
some of the CO2 out of the solution,<br />
causing it to foam slightly.<br />
Allowing the beer to mix with the air<br />
provides the drinker with a stronger scent<br />
of the various aromatic components such<br />
as hops and malt.<br />
STEP 5:<br />
TAKE A DEEP SNIFF THIS TIME<br />
Take another deep sniff – not too deep,<br />
to set the stage for you to have that longawaited<br />
taste.<br />
This whiff should differ from the<br />
previous one, as now you’ll be able to get<br />
hints of the aroma. There are three main<br />
aromas to look out for:<br />
- Malts: should smell of honey, biscuit,<br />
caramel, or baked bread flavours, but<br />
can contain hints of roasted coffee<br />
or in the case of stouts, a hint of dark<br />
chocolate.<br />
- Hop aromas: these are generally citrusy,<br />
floral, or perhaps grassy in nature.<br />
- Yeast aromas: these will be fruity or<br />
sulphurous in nature.<br />
STEP 6:<br />
THE LONG-AWAITED SIP<br />
Take a small sip, enough for it to run<br />
across your entire tongue, then let it<br />
slowly roll over your tongue for a few<br />
seconds before you swallow and breathe<br />
out gently.<br />
At this point you’ll taste both broad and<br />
subtle flavours, the former being what<br />
you mainly taste while the latter will be a<br />
hint of a flavour.<br />
Broad flavours range from sweet, salty,<br />
acidy, or simply bitter; while subtler<br />
flavours can range from cloves, fruit,<br />
caramel, coffee, nuts, chocolate, oak and<br />
many more.<br />
STEP 7:<br />
FOOD PAIRINGS TO COMPLEMENT<br />
YOUR BEERS<br />
SAB has a range of beer styles to cater<br />
for varying palates. It is recommended to<br />
have something to eat in between your<br />
beer tasting.<br />
Here are some recommendations:<br />
- Stella Artois, a soft and creamy pilsner,<br />
goes perfectly with creamy food dishes<br />
and seafood, such as a lightly curried<br />
butternut soup.<br />
- Hansa Pilsner, with its crisp flavour, is<br />
best paired with light meals such as a<br />
green salad, steamed broccoli, or even a<br />
fillet of hake.<br />
- A great palate cleanser between beers is<br />
Brutal Fruit Litchi, to give yourself a reset<br />
between the various flavours.<br />
- Carling Black Label, a full-bodied lager, is<br />
best paired with strong-flavoured foods<br />
such as a peppered fillet of springbok<br />
with a creamy mash potato.<br />
- And lastly, Castle Milk Stout – the toffee,<br />
coffee, and mocha flavours found in this<br />
stout are perfectly paired with chocolate<br />
desserts but can also be paired with rich<br />
meat (oxtail and lamb shank) as well as<br />
other puddings made with chocolate<br />
and caramel. A perfect way to end off<br />
your beer-tasting adventure.<br />
STEP 8:<br />
BE BOLD, THE JOURNEY DOESN’T END<br />
HERE<br />
The key to building your palate rests<br />
in being knowledgeable about beer in<br />
general.<br />
In the process you’ll learn what marks<br />
the key differences between an ale and<br />
a lager, what IPAs or Hefeweizens are, as<br />
well as how to distinguish characteristics<br />
of beers.<br />
Your beer-tasting journey can be as<br />
adventurous as you want it to be but<br />
remember, drink responsibly – and beer<br />
tasting isn’t a skill any under-18 should<br />
have. And when in doubt, visit the SAB<br />
World of Beer so you can experience a<br />
beer and food-tasting.<br />

BECOME A<br />
BONSAI MASTER<br />
In the spirit of Father’s Day, why not spend some time with the kids and get your hands<br />
dirty with this quirky and cute Bonsai gift idea.<br />
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:<br />
• Bonsai clippers<br />
(scissors and concave<br />
cutters)<br />
• A juniper tree<br />
(± 4 years old)<br />
• Bonsai soil<br />
• Chopstick<br />
• A bonsai pot<br />
• Wire:<br />
(2 different types – one<br />
thick for the trunk and<br />
one thinner for the<br />
branches)<br />
• Bonsai paste<br />
STEP 1: ASSESS YOUR TREE<br />
Remove your tree from its pot and very carefully dust all<br />
the soil off its roots, you can use the chopstick for those<br />
little corners. Once you have a clear view of the roots, you<br />
can see where the first roots come from.<br />
STEP 2: PRUNING<br />
The goal is for the centre of your bonsai to appear to<br />
be thick, gradually narrowing outwards to the thinnest<br />
branches - this is how bonsai plants manage to get their<br />
bonsai “look”. Cut away any branches that cross, and any<br />
thick branches that are close to the top in the canopy,<br />
where the leaves are. If there are any large cuts on your<br />
tree, put a little bit of bonsai cut paste on. If the tree you<br />
have purchased is looking really raggedy, you can trim<br />
away about a third of it. Also remove all dead or dying<br />
leaves and twigs. Have a look at the tree and decide where<br />
you’d like the apex. Cut off any thicker branches with the<br />
concave cutter.<br />
1 2<br />
26 Get It <strong>Pretoria</strong> <strong>June</strong> <strong>2019</strong>
STEP 3: SHAPE YOUR TREE<br />
Using thick wire, you will be able to make your bonsai tree<br />
grow sideways like it’s windswept. Place the thick wire in<br />
the soil and make it bend around the trunk of the tree at a<br />
45° angle. Keeping that angle going, wind it all the way up<br />
the trunk to the top, and cut off any excess wire. The tree<br />
is now a little bit pliable, so you can bend it a little to give<br />
it an interesting slant.<br />
STEP 4: WIRING THE BRANCHES<br />
In the same way you wired the tree trunk, you can wire<br />
the branches. Start the wire by looping it around the trunk<br />
once. Extend it down the branches. You can now bend<br />
your branches. Normally, a bonsai tree’s branches run<br />
parallel with the floor, dipping slightly. Try to mimic the<br />
branches of a big tree.<br />
3<br />
4<br />
STEP 5: PREPARE THE BONSAI POT<br />
Bonsai trees don’t like their roots to sit in water, so it’s<br />
important to include a drainage hole at the bottom of the<br />
pot. The hole will need something over it to prevent the soil<br />
from leaking out. A piece of mesh is perfect, you can attach<br />
it to the pot using a piece of wire that is bent into a hairpin<br />
shape. Use the two ends to secure it to the bottom of the<br />
pot by bending them and trimming off excess wire.<br />
Using a long piece of wire, bend it into a square shape.<br />
Later on, you will use this wire to secure the tree to the pot.<br />
The bottom of the pot should have two small holes, feed<br />
the square-shaped wire through these small holes with the<br />
bottom of the square aligning with the bottom of the pot.<br />
STEP 6: PREPARE THE ROOTS<br />
Using the chopstick, scrape away the soil that is around the<br />
roots. The bottom of the roots will be trimmed away, the<br />
soil towards the top can stay. Once you have cleared a fair<br />
amount of soil, you can trim away around 1/3 of the roots.<br />
5<br />
6<br />
STEP 7: POTTING YOUR TREE<br />
Next cover the bottom of the pot with a layer of soil, and<br />
place your tree on top of the soil. Position the tree at an<br />
angle, it shouldn’t be exactly straight. Now you can use<br />
those wires that are sticking up through the bottom of the<br />
pot to hold down the tree. Twist the two ends of the wire<br />
together, making sure the wire holds the tree roots down.<br />
Then, trim away any bits of wire that are still showing. You<br />
can now cover the tree roots with more soil. Push the soil<br />
between the roots, there should be no air pockets, you can<br />
use the chopstick for this.<br />
STEP 8: YOU’RE FINISHED!<br />
ONGOING CARE<br />
Once you have watered the tree, it is ready to be displayed.<br />
Wait four weeks before you apply fertiliser, and be sure to<br />
check that the wire is not damaging the branches.<br />

We’re just wild<br />
about Lou Harvey<br />
We’ve long been Lou Harvey fans, but have to admit<br />
the new leopard range is our favourite yet. We’re just<br />
wild about the overnight bag (the perfect size for<br />
a safari weekend away in the bush) ... Smaller (but<br />
equally desirable) options in this new range include<br />
all the nifty bags we use for absolutely everything ...<br />
There are make-up and cosmetic bags, wine coolers<br />
and lunch bags, laptop and stationery bags. Details:<br />
www.louharvey.com. To win a trio of goodies from<br />
the Lou Harvey leopard collection, visit our Facebook<br />
page (Get It <strong>Pretoria</strong> Magazine), follow the rules on<br />
the “Wild about Lou Harvey” post, and you’ll be in the<br />
draw. Entries close 25 <strong>June</strong>.<br />
