Skinny Sbu Socks/ That Gift Idea For Bhut'bae

My boyfriend’s birthday is next week & I have been thinking of what to get him. I got him these socks from Skinny Sbu last year. I know typical girlfriend getting her man socks or a tie. But my motive behind it was bigger. Social media has created such a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to showcase their business. On one of my normal Instagram trolls, I came across Skinny Sbu. He sells these amazing socks for men. I knew it would be something my boyfriend would like. And if I was going to be the typical sock buying gift giver, I wanted to make sure I was supporting local business.

For the guys who read my blog I say give your feet some TLC and swag. Go on Instagram and look up Skinny Sbu. Order his socks and walk in style.

Ladies do the same. Yes socks can be taught less gifts which are boring. I assure you the sentiment behind these are worth it.

PS: Support local business. 

Travel Tips For That Weekend Away

Hi guys. I just wanted to share with you my travel plan tips for a weekend away. I love travelling and taking time away. I think planning is key in all things. Here are my top 5 things I think you should consider when going away.

• 1- Plan properly for where you are going. Be sure that you have secured a safe place at your destination. Yes there are spare of the moment decisions when you just hit the road, these can be awesome or end up as a disaster. I use Airbnb a lot to get affordable accommodation. I love how it works and how you can scale exactly how much you want to pay. Try Airbnb, it’s a saver.

• 2- Consider what you will eat. Most accommodation does not include meals. I love self-catering places. This way I can save money on restaurants and take away. Make your own breakfast with simple food like the classis bacon and eggs and some fruits. In fact you can take some of these from home in a cooler to use at your destination. I find braais ideal for evenings.

• 3- Pack for the location. Look up the weather for time you will be there. Like every girl I struggle with the “what if I need my boots” syndrome. Over packing can be avoided. Try by all means to take only what you will need.

• 4- Secure transport or check your car. If you are using public transport, book your return tickets on time. Imagine not being able to get to a place in time or having to leave but your accommodation is not sorted. Also book your car in to be checked for long distance trips or make sure you are filled up for road ahead.

• 5- Remember to pack your essential toiletries. Don’t waste money on buying things you use on daily basis. I am trying hard to stick to a strict beauty regimen so I must have my beauty must-haves at all times. Also I always make sure I have tampons, pain meds and some antiseptic. You must always be ready. Lol.

I hope this helps. Please comment and share some of your essential travel items.
