Hello July! Winter is well and truly here, and we are revelling in indulgence, introspection and soulful vibes. We chat to Louise Volschenk from the Mommy Club about family, fame and the future, and celebrate 40 years of greatness with Flamboyant School. We wrap up in layers of cosy and take a deeper look into the art of transforming your home - inside and out - with a lick of paint. We also look into the plus points of solar power. With the July school holidays in full swing, Graskop Gorge and Skyway Trails are flying high (and raising the bar)! There are also the usual fab book club reads, our luscious wish list. We’re giving away a gorgeous lipstick and make-up spray, as well as a sublime scent for the iconic traveller and discerning man. What are you waiting for? Grab your copy before they’re all gone, and have a great month!

🤩WIN The Beauty Box that’s defining Winter 2025
Elevate your Winter beauty routine with this curated box of beauties from Clicks

Winter beauty is no longer about heavy layers and full makeup coverage. Nope. Winter 2025 is calling for an intentional, intuitive approach. Think hybrid heroes, skincare that doubles as self-care, and colour pops that are bold and fabulous.
This season is all about intentional beauty - skin that breathes, lips that shine, and haircare that starts at the root. And this limited-edition beauty box, curated with this season’s trending must-haves by the beauty gurus at Clicks, has launched just in time to elevate your routine.
What’s Inside? A little bit of everything - and all of it on trend.
• Glossy lips are officially back - only smarter. Lip oils and plumping glosses (like Catrice’s Glossin’ Glow and Smudge Plumping) hydrate and shine without stickiness.
• Big lashes and defined lips (hello Smudge Multi-Effect Mascara and Yardley’s Pecan Brown Liner) give soft glam energy for winter nights.
• Scalp care is leading hair conversations, with Umberto Giannini’s Rosemary Oil and Growth Bomb helping to nourish and boost growth.
• Minimal skincare with maximum payoff - Clear Start’s Foaming Wash and MUSA’s Hydrating Primer work with your skin to hydrate and cleanse.
• Red nails are the season’s standout accessory - Yardley’s Stayfast Vinyl in Red Honey is a power move in a bottle.
• Natural haircare gets elevated with Cantu’s Protective Styles Hair Bath - because washday should feel like a relaxing ritual, not routine.
• Spa-at-home textures are also everywhere - Good Earth’s Body Butter and Memories Hand Creams bring softness and luxury to everyday moments.
Whether you're updating your makeup bag or treating yourself to seasonal essentials, this box hits every high note of what’s hot right now - in beauty, hair, and self-care.
Shop all these products now available at Clicks in-store, online and in app.

😉Enter now for a chance to win your very own Clicks 2025 Beauty Box and experience these winter essentials firsthand — because you deserve to glow all season long!😊
To stand a chance of winning, make sure you’re following us, like this post and tag a friend in the comments section. Entries close July 10. Winners will have to collect their prize from their closest Get It magazine office, and will be drawn from across all participating Get It platforms.🎉

🤩𝗪𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗜𝗡🤩
The elegant Van Loveren Calcrete Chardonnay🥂

This Van Loveren Calcrete Chardonnay is an elegant example of unwooded Chardonnay - with minerality reminiscent of oyster shell, a vibrant taste of fresh saltiness, and a squeeze of lime, finishing with an elegantly coated texture on palate. It’s a medium-bodied dry white wine that pairs beautifully with salads, seafood, roast chicken or grilled pork. Around R92 a bottle. Details: vanloveren.co.za

😉To stand a chance of winning a case, simply like this post, follow our page and tag a friend. Entries close 27 June. Winners will be selected across all digital platforms and will have to collect their prize from their local Get It Office. 🎉

🎉☕Coffee parties ... the next big trend☕🎉
It doesn’t matter if we’re out on a hike, throwing a picnic in the garden or at a concert-in-the-park. Coffee is essential.

And we’re becoming more discerning about the quality and taste of our coffee. Add to this the increasing number of people opting for sober-curious lifestyles and it’s no wonder social gatherings centred around coffee are becoming so popular.😋

So instead of a cocktail party, invite a group of friends for coffee and a chat. You could add to the fun by having a coffee tasting, with guests sampling different coffee varieties and perhaps finding a new favourite, or throw a coffee and dessert pairing party ... serve a selection of sweet treats - chocolates, pastries and cakes.🍰🧁🍨

Another growing trend is ready-to-drink beverages ... so the Douwe Egberts introduction of their Cappuccino Break and Ice Mocha Latte Break is jolly well timed. It’s a cool, energising drink without the need for brewing, so fabulous for a grab-and-go caffeine fix when you’re running around town, and an essential addition to the coolerbox when you’re on a road trip. You’ll find them at stores including Checkers, Pick n Pay, Makro and on Takealot.

🪴If your patio is warm and sunny in winter, it is quite possible to grow a selection of edibles in pots and hanging baskets. What’s great is that they are close at hand for easy harvesting and care.

The basic principle behind a potager is selecting companionable plants, that attract beneficial insects or repel pests, stimulate each other’s growth or just enhance each other’s flavours.

Admittedly a winter garden has its challenges, but there are hardy winter herbs and veggies that thrive in the cold along with colourful edible flowers.🌼

It's June, and we are all about comfort foods and cosy nights! It's also a special month for dad, so spoil him with our sublime whisky and food pairing pages, or tools for the hands-on dad. On the topic of fathers, Edward Berry chats to us about life as a dreamer, traveller and avid birder; and why always remembering that there is life beyond four walls is important for the soul. Terri Sass and her Treeside Academy are making huge inroads into education with a difference.
We have giveaways galore, from wine to whiskey (yes, the Irish kind!) and of course our usual book club reads and must-have list are packed full of goodies to while away the winter days. Grab your copy before they're gone, and Happy Father's Day to all the Get It dads!
