Just discovered PayJustNow: Don’t know about you, but despite getting a few deals on Black Friday I still have loads of gifts to get for the family and at this time of the year, after 12 months of hard slog, I always like to get myself a little ‘from me to me’ present too 😉 Before I knew it though, my credit card statement looked a little scary and with Dec/Jan always feeling like the longest 2 months in history, that ‘from me to me’ present was looking like a pipe dream! Then I overheard a colleague talking about PayJustNow and BOOM, game change. I immediately investigated and couldn’t believe that such a clever option existed in the South African market – I was so impressed that I’ve even added it to the Ask Ashe Store. Basically, PayJustNow offers 2 things – it offers consumers a zero interest way to pay for items in 3 instalments, and it offers merchants the opportunity to add the service as a payment option to their online store.

Durban Business – Thrive: I recently met the team at Thrive in Kloof and had to share this amazing small business with you. I spent time chatting to owner, Lynda Bryant Mutsaerts, about the history of the store and their plans for the future. Lynda bought the store in 2005, then branded as National Road Pharmacy, which was established in 1959.

On one side is the pharmacy and on the other a curated gift store and coffee shop/juice kitchen. Lynda showed me around and I delighted in seeing all the local brands in the gift store, sourced from around SA. Local and international skin care brands, cook books and more are also available – this is definitely the place to pop in to if you’re looking for a gift.

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: The “Cuban Hat” and its neighbour “The Nest” were two very popular drive in locales situated on the then Lower Marine Parade in Durban. They were especially popular in the late 50s / early 60s when own car transport became an essential must have amongst young adults. These were the days when young adult life changed considerably when freedom of movement, the changed music and habits of the time and there was a general improvement in living standards. Initially any form of car was better than none because as the saying was, it enabled you to get to “where the action was”. Action being where parties, socials, “sessions” and get togethers. The fact that you could pick up your mates or girl friends and go together as a group made life good. Parents of the time had to adjust to the times because they were brought up when stricter parental control was generally enforced. The days of dates being, sitting in the lounge with the parents were no longer and life was now centred on getting out and about and mixing with your own age group.
