Document The Change In Season
If you didn't snap it, it didn't happen. So, get in the habit of documenting your city at every opportunity possible. Two of our favourite ways of doing this, aside from writing, are through photography and videography. Whether you're waking up before the break of dawn to explore the city and capture the change of autumn leaves or grabbing an afternoon walk with your four-legged bestie, it's bound to be a fun and revitalising experience.

Declutter Your Wardrobe
A change in season means a change in wardrobe. This is the perfect time to start packing away all those summer shorts and vests and replace them with warm jerseys and thick leggings. But while you do the wardrobe switch up, why not put aside some clothes to donate to the less fortunate? We all know how cold our city can get, so do something nice and
donate your old clothes and other items you no longer need or use.
Pamper Yourself
With all the fabulous beauty salons and spas in our city, knowing which one to go to without breaking the bank can be tricky. But what if we told you, you could get a
manicure or pedicure for under R350? Sounds crazy right? And yet it's so true. Plus, there's something for the lads as well, with these
grooming spots for guys.
Start Prepping Your Garden
Sure it's autumn and while we embrace everything great about it, we can also start thinking ahead. Start
prepping your autumn garden for spring. Think about it, getting in touch with nature when it's cool and not too cold yet, seeing the beautiful flowers and plants sprout in autumn and winter then bloom and blossom in spring. Sounds amazing doesn't it? We think so, too.
Get The Autumn Look In Your Home
Why not incorporate the look and feel of autumn into your home? Whether you want to enhance the
homey feeling using autumn hues or simply enjoy switching up your furniture and
decor at the change of the season, we are giving you the 411 on how to spruce up your home.
Visit Joburg's Top Markets
We all know it's not fun to be out in the cold, so embrace the cool weather at some great markets before winter arrives. Whether you want to visit some awesome food markets around town, are more interested in markets to visit on weekends, want to take your pooch along on a
shopping trip or just want to explore the
top markets in the city, there's a market for you to explore before staying at home is all you want to do.
Go Out And Be Merry
Whether you enjoy watching sunsets or the occasional drink after hours, check out these
great rooftop bars in the city. What's better than enjoying our lovely Joburg sunset with a drink in hand on a cool autumn late afternoon/ evening? Alternatively, you can just skip the sunset and grab a cocktail at one of these
fabulous cocktail spots.
Stay In And Stay Warm
There's also absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to stay in and stay warm as soon as those leaves start changing colours. You can stay in and make some hot chocolate and maybe you could
start a new hobby. If you have little ones, stay in with a book or two from
these children’s bookshops.
Any Season Is Ice Cream Season
Every season is a good season for ice cream! This autumn,
spice up your ice cream with these nifty tips and tricks. But if you feel like braving the chilly weather, make a quick ice cream run to one of these
top ice cream spots!
Catch A Movie Or Two With The Kids
Why not spend the day out with the kids? There are a number of
amazing movies showing at cinema. So, grab the kids, grab some warm butter popcorn and a few slushies and enjoy a few hours of good fun. With everything from animation and action to romance and comedy, you'll definitely be feeling warm and fuzzy.
A Hug From A Cup Of Tea
There is no denying the health benefits of tea and how amazing one cup can make you feel. So, while you are staying warm and staying in,
why don't you get these teas to help you relax and prepare for the upcoming flu season?
How About A Brownie?
A brownie a day, keeps the
frownies away. There is nothing better to keep away the autumn chill than a warm, fudgey brownie. We went
on a hunt for the top brownie spots in the city and found some delicious mouthwatering brownies for the ultimate indulgence.
