Fire up the shisa nyama, break out the flip-flops and throw your shades on because summer is here and if you are not attending holiday parties then you need to be throwing one. Here are 5 must-haves for a good time under the sun. Don’t forget to enter our competition at the bottom of the article to win a R1 500 @home voucher.
1. A shady situation
Sunshine is all warm and well but it can be too much of a good thing. Give yourself and your guests a nice shady area where they can chill. You can do this by setting your table under the shade of a tree or with a large table umbrella.
2. Send the right soundwaves
Music is the real life of any party and the wrong playlist can make or break the vibe of an occasion, so it is important to get it right. Keep the party pumping by adding these South African summertime chart toppers to your party playlist.
1. Nathi: Nomvula
2. Durbanites: Shumaye
3. Black Coffee feat Nakane Touré: We Dance Again
4. DJ Kent: Don’t let go
5. Mi Casa: Chocolat
3. Beautiful swimwear
You may have zero intention of getting into the water but you can still rock the latest swimwear. Treat yourself to a beautiful swimsuit, a sarong in your favourite colour, a massive sun hat, stylish sunglasses and some statement jewellery for poolside glam.
4. Something good to eat
It’s not a party unless there is delicious food to chow down on! Celebrate summer with this finger-licking coated chicken recipe.
5. Thirst quenchers
If you’re all going to be out in the sun then it is very important to stay hydrated and refreshed. Do this by making delicious and healthy Rooibos ice tea with Freshpak’s new flavours: Watermelon and Mint, Cranberry and Pomegranate or Green Tea. Brew up a large batch, mix in your favourite fruits, serve ice cold and stay cool all summer long.
