Leap year love

Ah that smooshy time of year, either adored or dreaded. However you may feel about the looming V day, we've got some options or distractions to see you through this weekend. The Cape Town Central City Improvement District gives its top activities for ladies wanting to spoil their men in Cape Town and the Hillcrest Quarry is throwing a romantic Valentine's Picnic Concert this Sunday. However, if you would rather avoid the mush, perhaps the Aussie Circus or Colour Run are more suitable activities?

In top story news we bring you an interview with the passionate Katherine-Mary Pichulik of bespoke jewellery design company Pichulik for #DesignMonth and the nominees for the 51st annual Fleur du Cap Theatre Award nominees are announced.

'Cause we love you so, we've got tickets to both the Cape Town and Joburg leg of Ultra South Africa, ArtMode featuring GoodLuck and next week's Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concert featuring Goldfish up for grabs.

Happy weekend. Go spread some love!
