Granny Says – Be A Woman With A Voice!
Supporting and celebrating women’s rights is a year-round responsibility – But on Women’s Day, which falls on Monday, August 9th, it’s a day to celebrate all those wonderful strong women we know, and it’s a day to recognize the extraordinary acts of women when they do, and did, stand together as a united force.
This day is about spending time focusing on you, and below are some tips we hope will help when making plans for the day:
- Take a road trip through the Midlands with all your besties. Shop to your hearts content, supporting local businesses where you can, participate in top class adventure sports or activities suited for young and old, visit historical landmarks, enjoy arts and crafts. And if you and the girls want to make a weekend of it, why not book into Granny Mouse Country House & Spa and get stuck into the new Eaves Restaurant menu. And all this is just one hour away from Durban.
- Talking about weekends, nothing says happy days like a spa experience. So head up the hill and enjoy one of many exclusive treats at Granny’s spa. This experience will be the best thing you can do for yourself, so allow the experts to take away the stresses of the past year and half.
- Empower yourself by taking a boxing class or two, or learn some self-defense techniques to protect yourself. There are a few gyms that cater to solely boxing and can be easily found on Google.
- How about getting back to your “inner child”? Fly a kite, do some handstands, order the biggest milkshake ever…embrace life and try not to worry about a thing. “Indulge yourself”!
- What about paying it forward and doing something good? Nothing makes one feel good about oneself than helping deserving causes, be it for animals, abused women, children or our precious wildlife heritage. Also, “cleanse your cupboard” – by this we mean, empty out that wardrobe and donate clothes you are never going to wear again, or hand over that second mixer blender still in sitting in its box. Your home will be less cluttered and someone will see your donation as gold.
For the partner out there who is looking to spoil your special lady and doesn’t know what to gift her, why not plan a date night and make it all about her?
Spend time with her and let her know that you’re there for her whenever she needs you to be. This will be a gift that both of you will enjoy. What every woman has fought for, and continues to fight for, is the freedom to be herself, and to be able to express the way she feels.
And for the women who enjoy it when their partner makes decisions, why not keep Granny Mouse Country House & Spa in mind? You can treat her to a weekend stay, which could include an intimate dinner at Eaves restaurant, as well as a spa treatment.
