With Black Friday just over a week away we, we wanted to explain why we have chosen to not participate.

Our mission is to create and curate products that are good, green and beautiful 💚✨ We want to distance ourselves from the concept of 'buy more stuff' and encourage you to make conscious consumer decisions like buying what you need when you need it 💭

We know 2020 has been a challenging year, which is why we want to support our local suppliers in a manner that reflects their expertise and skillfulness. Our promise to you? Quality that matches the value on the price tag 🌟

The good news is, staying true to our mission enables us to offer affordable products all year round. Look out for our gift guide being launched soon, where you will be able to find meaningful indigenous, organic, locally sourced gifts for for a range of budgets, including UNDER R100. 🌱💚✨ #noblackfriday

WHAT DID YOU FIND ON THE #HAPPYTRAILS? 👀 Over

WHAT DID YOU FIND ON THE #HAPPYTRAILS? 👀

Over the next month we plan to fill THIS WALL, as well as our HAPPY TRAILS Project in the @inaturalistorg App, with all of YOUR observations found in our mountains 🌼🌸🌿

#HappyTrails is not only a fun outdoors activity to do with your friends and family, but it is also for identification and to support biodiversity conservation. 🌍

A few participants have enquired whether it is compulsory to photograph 3 flowers along the routes? Our answer is, yes and no. If you are racing for the fastest time, we will forgive you for not identifying any flowers along the way. But to qualify for prizes you do need to photograph 3 plants and upload to iNaturalist at some point during the month. This can be done when you are not in competitive mode. As long as the plants are located within the streets and slopes of the City Bowl you will qualify. Helping us explore and share the amazing biodiversity in our backyard is what sets this event apart from the rest and we can guarantee you will start seeing our trails through new eyes 🤩

The Video shows how to DOWNLOAD & USE iNaturalist:
1. Download Free App for both Android and Apple.
2. In the App search under the Projects tab for HAPPY TRAILS and join.
3. Photograph plants and animals on the trail using the App they will automatically be uploaded to the HAPPY TRAILS project as long as location is on.
4. You do not need to identify the plant or animal yourself, experts on iNaturalist will do that for you.

In partnership with @fynboslife 💛
