1. A calendar

To keep track of the hustle and bustle of life, we all need a calendar. Whether it's on our phone, in a journal or a full-on spread, it is a lifesaver!

2.Excuses

Do you want to give your cousin's girlfriend a lift to the airport at 5am, go for a 21km run with Nancy from work or stop by a one-year-old's birthday? The answer in most cases is a hard no. As you grow older you need to learn boundaries and the art of saying no, but until you get there, work on some excuses to get you out of it.

3. Handbag inserts 

Ladies, this one is for you. 

If you are a bag carrier and a real adult who prepares for anything, then we have no doubt your bag shows resemblance to Hermionie's bottomless bag.

4. Good ol' running shoes 

Every grown up should own quality kicks. Take it from Stacey Norman and Nick Tatham, who recently went on a shopping spree to get some good shoes. Spending that R2,000 to R3,000 can go a long way in ensuing you do not get injured, as well as prioritising your health and fitness.

5. Secure the bag

While you jet set for work, go on a holiday or simple move, good luggage is always a worthwhile investment. Rather than spending smaller amounts by buying various bags, splurge for that one great bag with the perfect zips and a proper guarantee. It's worth it, we promise.
