Five random things heard in the Pomegranite office

When you spend a significant amount of time in the same place with the same people, ridiculous things are bound to tumble out of someone's mouth at some point. What makes this even more interesting, is that the Pomegranite office is not just home to

The Boomslang inspiration day: a photo essay

We recently had one of our regular Pomegranite inspiration days at Kirstenbosch Gardens to check out 'the Boomslang' - a Tree Canopy Walkway to commemorate the Botanical Garden's centenary. Here's some of what we saw:

Eye conversations

When you work with someone every day and they happen to be your friend, your communication skills start to develop super powers. You may be familiar with eye conversations from the series How I Met Your Mother (they even have their own wiki page). It’s time to

10 quotes to inspire the hell out of you

Everyone loves a good quote. Especially when it’s in a sexy font. Perhaps written over an evocative image. I am a big fan of a well-timed quote that seems to have been created just for me – and the other how-ever-many-thousands-of-women are trolling through Pinterest

What makes you happy? Do more of that.

It’s quite surreal to get to a point when you no longer get the Sunday blues. No dreaded Carte Blanche music to round off your weekend with that all-too-familiar leaden feeling in your stomach. I find that I don’t mind going to work on a

What you really want to say on Valentine’s day

Fancying someone makes you a little crazy. The early stages of a 'something' with someone (heaven forbid you actually put a label on it!) are fraught with doubt and tentative steps. Throw in a whole day in which you are expected to create the magic
