Sometimes you have to revel in life’s little victories.

I once went a full four months of wearing only flip-flops to work (or flops, or slip-slops, or slops, depending on your vocabulary), whilst other mates of mine laced up and slogged through that nine-to-five daily grind.

Not that I’m rocking particularly attractive feet, but at least they got to soak up the summer vibes without being trapped inside a shoe.

I should add that there were days when it rained, but once you’re committed to it being Always Summer, you have to stick to your guns.

If you’re looking for your own victories to celebrate, we’re going to point you in the direction of Havaianas, the boss of summer footwear, and a sneaky little deal they have running at the moment.

You might think that a bag and a pillow are an unlikely combination, but they pretty much go together like salt and pepper or Havaianas and happiness.

How does one combine a bag and a pillow? With a little creative thinking:

Spend more than R750 at one of the participating stores (find those stores here), and you’re scoring a limited edition two-in-one bag.

It’s the perfect companion for all your beach days, hiking adventures, camping trips, or if you’re just kapping a dos in the garden during your downtime these holidays.

Also – yes, before you ask, I am in the midst of another months-long flip-flop binge, and of course I’m rocking a pair of Havaianas.
