Hello October! This month, we are celebrating all things bright and blooming, while also delving a little deeper into everything there is to know about collagen.

Las Vegas glam comes to the Lowveld at the annual Night of 1000 Stars, and shoppers get into the swing of things at the fabulous Riverside CID Spring Market held at Riverside Mall in Mbombela.

Our cover girl, Ansje Craven, talks about getting back up after life throws you a curveball, and Omphile Diale woos us with her beautiful harp and piano performances. We are heading into Summer, what better time is there for an ice-cold and delicious cocktail, paired with a spicy snack or two?

Our retirement feature has a little something for anyone considering this important milestone. We also give glamping a chance to shine, because a little luxury goes a long way.

We are also giving away an amazing, opulent and sensual bottle of scent from Robert Cavalli. All this and more in the October edition of Get It Lowveld, grab yours before they are all gone!
