Ever dreamt of an instant house? Here's a stylish one inviting you to the simplified life. Meet @_bungalo_living_ , the brainchild of Cape Town couple Marc and Jacqui Pincente. Their instant wooden homes can be dropped onto your plot without any of the hassle of building 😀

Made from hardwearing Scandi larch, the homes are fully insulated and plumbed and can be lived in off-the-grid or fitted with electrical points. This 54m2 studio home costs R495 000 incl vat, and is on show @buitenverwachtingwinetasting (currently only serving coffee 😉). Why not pop over for a flat white and check out this exciting South African creation with its heavenly wood smell?

Feeling overwhelmed by stats or work challenges, o

Feeling overwhelmed by stats or work challenges, or just feeling anxious about the future? Try out some of these great tips from Cape Town's Victoria Hospital, a state facility that's showing such resilience in the face of coronavirus 👏🏽🇿🇦 You know all these things, but there's something about human nature that needs constantly reminding. Why don't you pick one of these to carry out TODAY? 😉
1) View times of uncertainty as an opportunity
2) Practise self-care. Continue healthy routines (exercise, nutrition, sleep), adapting them where necessary
3) Exercise self-compassion. Be warm, kind and understanding of, and to, yourself 🧡
4) Try new things. Use this time as an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone 💥
5) Start a new hobby or learn new skills
6) Avoid negative thought patterns. Be mindful and aware of your thought processes, and make concerted efforts to be realistically optimistic at every opportunity
7) Focus on what you CAN control, even the simplest things like planning exercise sessions, meals, kids' activities. This gives a sense of power in times when we feel powerless 💪🏽
8) Nurture human connections. Nurture your family, friend and work networks, even if it has to be virtually 📞
9) Practise gratitude! Research suggests that regularly practising gratitude can change our mindset. Keep a gratitude journal in which you write what you were grateful for that day, or tell your partner or family member every evening before dinner one thing for which you were grateful that day (yes, you CAN find one!) 🌈
10) Reflect on how you overcame past challenges, remembering that ‘This too shall pass’
11) Ask for help! If uncertainty's causing levels of distress that are unmanageable on your own, don’t be afraid to ask for help 😀
Share this with your friends, you never know who's having a bad week 😳
