Sunumbra Sunscreen

Boy was I glad to find out about this locally developed, formulated and manufactured eco-friendly sunscreen (Thanks Caron)!  So far I know about 3 stockists: Faithful-to-Nature (online shop), Tocara Skin & Body Science (Cape Town), and Soaring Free Superfoods (Cape Town - 13 Bell Crescent | Westlake Business Park | Tokai ).

Men's Underwear & Socks


Found these Jockey underwear at Edgars.  100% cotton and Made in SA.  I got the socks there too.. also cotton and made in SA.  Can't recall if they were Jockey, but I think they might have been.  My hubby is set in his ways when it comes to his choice in underclothes, but even he loves these!

Jams / Preserves

I know.. we should really make our own... jams have become so expensive to buy.  But, if you lack the time (and/or talent/fruit) and can't do without, then you might as well buy the ones that are a tiny bit more expensive, but produced locally. Here is one example.

Teas


Lately I have been seeing a lot of local teas on offer, not only at Woolies, but also at PNP.  Some are not much more expensive than the average tea.  I've tasted the pnp one pictured here and it is great!
