A Magical Night at the Opera

DSCN1087As a child I often walked past the famous state theatre in Pretoria , my imagination filled with many mirages. Ballet Dancers elegantly and flamboyantly moving from one side of the stage to the centre, dancing in circles and then making a sad retreat somewhere to the rear, fading into a pool of shade and colour never to be seen again. I  beheld wonders and mysteries, sweet tales of love and honour, of gentlemen and the ladies dressed in fine silk and wool.

Entering the Opera Haus in Graz I was impressed with the grandeur and opulence, the beauty of the grand staircase and felt a great energy as many dressed in fine suits awaited patiently the moment when the show would begin. Finally the moment arrived and we sat down in a lower gallery with a fine view of all the finest and most stylish members of Graz and Austrian society.

And what a night it was, filled with colour as  singers and dancers filled the stage with stunning backgrounds and sets, the best I had ever seen. The singers delivered a fine, emotional performance to which I gladly applauded and in the end a sad goodbye and the retreat. It was a night of roses and champagne.

Magic For the Skin _ Magie für die Haut

DSCN4273

A thank you to Fa for allowing us to test the new range of Shower Gells with natural oils..

When we received this product we were sceptical. How can a Shower Gell not only beautifully cleanse your skin but also replenish the natural oils which are so essential for a vibrant and healthy skin? ?! We had earlier tested another product claiming it could do so but it was far from honest.

We first tested the Blauer Lotus which did not fully meet our expectations but  were very impressed with the Ingwer Orange(Center)and the Pinker Jasmin(Right), both with  balanced, fresh and modern fragrances leaving the skin perfectly naturally oiled and soft.

Our absolute favorite was the Orange. If you love perfectly balanced skin after a warm shower, normal soaps drying out the skin, then we recommend you try this product.

We give it 8 out of 10 cool points.

Super Produkt.

Love Net-Hate Net

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

One of the great wonders of the modern age must be the internet which has connected the world as no device or means of transports has done before. It has become a great channel through which information and ideas are discussed, one can explore the world from ones office,study seat or wage war on the gaming networks. People share their joy filled moments, memories, speak to family members and post videos,some inspiring,some funny and some just nonsense so it is an instrument of beauty but sadly also increasingly an instrument by which hate and all manner of villainy is spread.

It has also opened up forums where everyone’s voice can be heard and sometimes hot debates can ensue,many times these veer out of control but  often meaningful concepts are exchanged.-

I will not dwell much on the terrible things one can find on the net but rather focus on the many great things and the potential for this wonder to bring people together, unite humanity and create a peaceful future for all. It is my hope to see less  violence and hate promoted on the net and more meaningful ideas and inspirations.

So what does the future bring? I personally have a very positive outlook.

What are your thoughts on internet violence(solutions to end it), hate and what will the internet look like in future years to come? Will it change the world for the better or worse?

Please share your ideas.

Make your Day a happy day!

Having grown up with some fine fruit juice mixes I must compliment Rauch on their range which not only satisfies the  tastes buds but is top quality. Their entry into the market was indeed a very welcome one and only lifted the standards.

They capture the flavours so perfectly and it is more like drinking a fresh juice rather than a mix.

We give this product 10 out of 10 cool points.

Vielen Dank an Rauch . Perfekter Durtslöscher mit ausgezeichneter Fruchtgeschmack.
