Creative weekends

Astrid Ellis is the founder and the owner of The Shower Tower Company.

Early riser

I am an earlybird and therefore it is not going to happen that I sleep in. I like to get the most out of the day. On a Friday I love to go to the beach during the morning, go for a swim or walk along the water, I love to spend time on the beach, just watching the waves and relaxing for a bit while beating the midday sun. There is a little breakfast place that has excellent avo on toast, which is my favourite, I usually stop by there on my way back from the beach. You have to try it, it’s called Park House on Kite Beach.

Creative Fridays

On the weekend I usually make a trip to the store to stock up on essentials since I have little time during the week. I am a very creative person and I like to work with paint. So my afternoons I spend painting on clothes or other materials. You might also catch me in my kitchen baking, which is my biggest passion. I always start with a recipe but then somehow slip into freestyle baking… it’s more fun! My Friday evenings are spent with people important to me. I like to go out for dinner, or host them at my home.

Out and about

Saturdays I love to be out and about in the city, exploring new areas, taking a stroll or just take my little car for a ride. I have a very close relationship with my car. It’s almost 18 years old and it was the first car I bought. It puts the biggest smile on my face when I get in. It is a German two seater and it is manual. I cannot tell you how much fun that is! The afternoons I love to have a massage and than go home and chill. I love beauty products and more so trying them. So the afternoons are all about putting on those most comfortable clothes and getting into beauty treatments. Since I love to cook you will catch me in the kitchen again in the evening time. Food prep for the week is what usually saves me!! (As told to Arti Dani)
