Can you believe it’s the end of the year?
2018 has certainly gone by in a wink of an eye and now it’s that time of year when everyone is thinking about beachy holidays, planning their Christmas shopping and wondering how on earth 2018 flew by so quickly?
And what a year it’s been here at OFS Smart Repair and on Hello Smart Blog… We’ve had BIG developments and BIG changes, but most of all, we had the BEST time!
We met kick butt women in business, Annette Griesel of Little, Margaret Whitfield a.k.a the lovely music maven DJ Magpie and our very own Director of Stakeholder Relations & Procurement at OFS Smart Repair Busi Maile.
We ate very fashionable Thai inspired blushing pink Salmon Burgers and decorated a Posh Party Cake with Jill in SMART FOOD. Magpie kept our feet tapping with the best tunes, Tiffany kept our skin & beauty routines on point and Justin gave us the 1-2 on health and fitness.
The Smartguys and Smartgirls of OFS Smart Repair rocked the STYLE in our New York Yankee caps and SMART Graphic Tees and we loved checking out SUPER funky Bloem COOL SPOTS.
We hung out with the very stylish crew at Imperial Volvo Bloemfontein, shopped stunning bespoke chairs for the NEW OFS Smart Repair HQ at Creative Edge and was honoured to showcase the ultra modern top-of-the-line OFS Paint shop.
In fact, we’ve had so much FUN on the blog this year that we’ve decided to dedicate the whole month of December to the Best of Hello Smart Blog 2018.
We’ll be featuring the BEST of our Style, Lifestyle, Brainy Business, Bright Sparks and Cool Spots posts – So keep an eye on the OFS Smart Repair Facebook page during December to see who made the list!
Of course the whole is only as good as the sum of it’s parts and none of the Hello Smart Blog adventures would have been possible without the smart, funny, sassy and ridiculously talented collaborators we get to call part of the Hello Smart Blog family:
