CONGRATULATIONS! We officially got through the initial 21 days of lockdown! Well done for following the rules, for staying inside and for baking a helluva lot of banana bread. We’d like to think that we played somewhat of a BIG part in keeping you sane. I mean, our incred #StayENTERTAINED series is basically all you need to feel better, have a lekker lag and get some creative ideas on how to get out while staying home. So, you’re welcome .
First up, we have our good ol’ friends over at Alchemy, Ballito, who fully understand the current can’t-get-my-fave-drink-during-lockdown-so-what-should-I-do issue and offered a helping hand. THANKS, guys, this is a real life-saver.
How to make a Belladonna Sour from scratch, in the comfort of your own home:
Method:
*Pro-tip: Before you start, fill your cocktail glass with ice and put aside to chill*
Into a cocktail shaker (or sommer a Consol jar with a lid on), add all the ingredients except for the blueberries and SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE (like a polaroid picture, of course). Remove ice from your cocktail glass and pour in the drink from your shaker. Garnish with blueberries & serve!
We couldn’t agree more, Sthabs. The days and weeks are all becoming one big smooshed-up pajama party and we need to be very disciplined to get up, get dressed and do our work. So, making lists (and do be realistic and kind to yourself here) is a way to help you do just that. Here are a couple of examples of the kind of lists Sthabile makes:
Our hearts go out to all parents right now. It must be so freakin’ annoying having the little ones around ALL. THE. TIME. Yes, we know you love them, but geez Louise, there’s just no end to their energy. Make ’em some slime and experience the magic of peace.
Method:
Stress levels are high, we’re all deprived of human interaction and the four walls around us are creeping closer every day. We feel ya. That’s exactly why we need to set some time aside for meditation and self-care. We asked Tarin what she does to keep sane and she told us that she breathes. Simple, right? But man, it makes a huge difference to anyone’s day.
Here’s why it’s so important:
1. Breathing is our vitality, it oxygenates our vital organs to keep us alive
2. Gets rid of waste products that stagnate in the body
3. It acts as the link between our body and mind
4. It helps control emotions and fears and keeps a clear, sharp mind
5. Keeps you present
Tascha is, like many of you, a fulltime workin’ mom, wife, housekeeper, and now a teacher on top of everything else too. How does she do it? With lots of alcohol, of course. JK. She’s actually got quite the system at home and we wanted to share it with you guys. Sharing is caring, right?
“I start my day off with a cup of coffee and a 40 min high intensity workout.”
Being a teacher is a whole new ballgame for most of us, so Tascha decided to allocate 2 hours a day to homeschool her 6-year-old boy. Luckily, her 3-year-old naps from 1 pm – 3 pm every day (what an amazing child, am I right?), so she’s got that time to fully concentrate on Alexander. Another thing she’s done is map out a dedicated space for each member of the family around the communal dining table where they all sit and work/play. She sommer used masking tape, and each person is responsible for their own space. How cute? ‘After school’ they go outside and play to get their bodies moving before dinner.
We asked her to give us some intel on who ‘Sachi Okada’ is. From a bod to die for to next-level self-confidence, this girl’s got it all and we want some of it . Oh, and did I mention that she works at the ENTERTAINER on top of the fabulous life she lives? Yep, we’re lucky and we know it!
She keeps the fitness levels high by doing short and sweet HIIT home workouts during lockdown. Here’s an idea of what her afternoons look like:
5 exercises for 30 seconds each.
Do 8 reps of the full set.
Keep your eyes peeled for more hacks coming your way on a weekly basis.
Stay safe, stay home and #StayENTERTAINED.
