Give your summer a boost with Ms.T’s latest recommendations for all that is hot, hip and happening this  month

Do: Summer Sales

Ladies it is finally that time of the year again! Summer is in full swing, as are the many sales and offers it brings with itself. Retailers across the city have already begun their holiday discounts, some granting up to 75% off and people have been flocking to the malls for some ridiculously cheap retail therapy. With Ramazan and Eidul Fitr right around the corner, we advise you to hit the shops and replenish your wardrobe without a putting a strain on your pockets, before all the good stuff runs out.  Don’t forget to warn your husband about your forthcoming shopping sprees beforehand though!

With in-depth interviews and announcements from prominent politicians, field officers and ever common citizens, this talented group of seven has covered all bases and managed to make the nation laugh with their hilarious impersonations.
