Making space in our busy lives to spend quality time with our parents should happen more often than not, but in case we forget to do this, every year there is a dedicated day, that we can’t ignore as much as we want to, to our parents.

Personally, Father’s Day has always been easier to plan because I pretty much know my dad, he’s simple – food, cologne, and clothes always rock his boat.

The impressive part of essential oils is that they are normally multi-purpose, used for cooking, application and diffusing, and sometimes medicinal.

Let's not lie to ourselves, with the introduction of WiFi and Fibre at home coupled with the likes of satellite TV, Netflix and Showmax, it's become hard to imagine a life without SERIES. So, why not embrace all that we can. It's okay to stay home all weekend and catch up on the series you missed out on during the week. Winter is around the corner and Autumn is already freezing!
