Different accommodations offer vastly different laundry options. Hotels charge premium prices, guest houses offer affordable middle ground, and self-catering means DIY. Learn what to expect, actual costs, and how to decide what works for your situation. We cover coastal humidity versus inland drying, load shedding impacts, and successful sink washing when facilities are limited. Know your options before you book.

Have you noticed stubborn belly fat that just won't budge, no matter how much you exercise or watch your diet? You're not alone. Many South Africans are dealing with this issue, and emerging research points to an unexpected culprit: estrogen mimickers, also known as xenoestrogens.

Staying with friends or family and need to do laundry? Learn how to read the room, when and how to ask about using their washing machine, and how to be a considerate guest. We cover both perspectives: guest etiquette and hosting advice, including managing load shedding schedules and setting boundaries politely. Plus, when hand washing in the guest bathroom is the better choice, and why coming home to your own setup feels so good.
