Ed's Note:
And, in a heartbeat, the clichéd New Year countdown ended and 2020 began!
My new year’s resolution is to remember to write 2020 instead of 2019. I found myself turning
lots of 8’s into 9’s for the first couple of months last year. Although I am convinced it is more of an
unconscious habitual phenomenon rather than anything to do with age.
I trust this year presents abundant opportunities to soak up and revel in our many blessings.
May 2020 shine!

Words by Shona Jönsson and photos by Chantel Bester
Thank you, Featherbrooke!
You helped make a BIG difference
One of the highlights on the Featherbrooke social calendar (for me) is the end of year Appreciation Function in
honour of the loyal staff that keep Featherbrooke as amazing as it is to live in. If I could just describe the gratitude on
the smiley faces of the dear folk who take care of our beautiful gardens, security, refuse removal and cleaning when
we gifted them with an envelope of cash from kind donations by residents.
With additional generous contributions, we were able to pack a shopping bag of groceries for each person. The FHA
also provided each person with a delicious boerie roll that Jessica’s kindly cooked to absolute perfection.

down the Chobe River, with his mouthful of breakfast. The backlighting
enhances the little droplets that cling to his hairs and dance off his
skin into the glimmering early light, while Bruce’s relevant use of the

it into a perfect milky stage that showcases the texture and wonder
of this African semi-aquatic subject. Textures pop, revealing his hairy

Breathe cleaner air
with indoor plants
https://fsgpropertyservices.co.za/large-scale-indigenous-landscaping/
https://www.bhg.com/
https://www.crhsystem.com/
https://atriumplants.co.za/
Indoor air pollution can make you feel sluggish, tired and run down. The solution is
simple and beautiful. Indoor plants!
Feeling under the weather?
It’s been proven that indoor air quality is generally much poorer than that of the outdoors. Not only are
VOCs generally more concentrated indoors, but CO2 levels are much higher, especially when there are
many people inhabiting a space. All you need to do is add a decent amount of indoor plants to your
space. The more the better. Here’s why:
Indoor plants improve wellbeing
Certain types of indoor plants have been proven to reduce levels of CO2 and increase relative humidity.
Less CO2 means less stale air, and because plants release O2, more fresh air. The humidifying effect
of indoor plants prevents eye, nose and throat irritation, and even has a positive effect on the general
health of the lungs. And not only are there physical benefits of indoor plants, but emotional ones too.
So, refresh your living space with life-giving plant energy!
Natural air purifiers
There are many gorgeous plant varieties to choose from for purifying (and beautifying) your indoor
space. Bamboo Palms, Aloe Vera and Mother-in-law’s Tongue make great indoor plants as they absorb
toxins and harmful particles, giving you cleaner and fresher air. And for increased humidity, English
Ivy and Peace Lilies are good options as they release water through their stems and leaves, which
evaporates into the air.
