Give it up for our May cover star! We loved our time chatting with @hanrielues

As we edge closer to Mother’s Day, whether we are mums or not, most of us reflect on how we have been affected by the role of motherhood through our own mums - by the pain of their loss or the impact of their presence. This is Hanrie Lues’ story.
When I think back to my mom when I was a child, I have very few memories of her smiling. My dad and I were inseparable, but I grew up always feeling disconnected from my mom, often thinking it was my fault; that I had done something to make her reject me. It took me a very long time to understand that she suffered from chronic depression and that I wasn’t to blame. Even so, as an only child especially, it affected me every day,” says Hanrie, a popular and well-liked figure in the bridal world and a mixed media artist in her spare time. Read Hanrie’s full story on our website – link in bio.

Happy reading!

Plants to boost your home office productivity ...

Plants to boost your home office productivity ...

Did you know that plants can have an effect on you? Those with bright flowers or vibrant foliage are energising, while softer colours and round leaves are calming. Green has always been a harmonious colour so plenty of green is always a good idea.

If you are working at a computer, its necessary to take a break at least every 30 minutes. Keep plants with interesting textures and pattens nearby to rest your eyes on and you will be drawn into contemplating their amazing colours and textures. A good exercise in mindfulness.

If you want to find out which plants are perfect for brain stimulation, getting you energized or calming you down, read more on our website (link in bio)

When it comes to buying your retirement home, you

When it comes to buying your retirement home, you need to decide between the freehold, sectional title and life right models. While the first two options are generally well understood, the life right model often causes confusion.

“Purchasing a life right means you will acquire, for a capital sum, the right to occupy the housing unit for the remainder of your life. This right is not the same as ownership of a property, but is similar to the rights of a long-term lease,” says Peter Quinn, CEO of non-profit organisation Rand Aid Association.

The housing unit remains the property of the developer. “You, therefore, do not receive a title deed and transfer duty is not applicable.” In essence, life right ownership is an investment in a carefree lifestyle, security and peace of mind.

NEED TO KNOW:
• Ask for an in-depth breakdown of the T&Cs, rules and regulations, as these differ from place to place.
• Determine if you will be allowed to modify your home.
• What levies are applicable, and what do they cover? Knowing what your monthly levies cover will make it much easier to budget and plan your monthly living expenses. It will also give you a good way to compare value for money in different retirement estates.
