Gone to Circa

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso July 30, 2017

Considering that I’ve been in Johannesburg for nearly half a year already, I still have a lot of hidden gems to discover in the city. One of the jewels I discovered not so long ago with one of my friends was the Circa Gallery in Rosebank. In as much as it’s so popular on Instagram and the stunning pictures people take on the famous spiraling staircase, I had to go explore it for myself. What I loved about the space was how it wasn’t like any gallery I’ve ever seen before. They really push the envelope in how they present the art to evoke emotion and any thought process in ones mind really. From paintings on the wall, an overhead projector telling a story on another wall to large structures right in the middle of the room. Furthermore, there are levels to this gallery… LITERALLY! “The most eye-catching aspect of…

Totalsports Women’s Race

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso July 25, 2017

It is so heart-warming and encouraging to see when corporates come together in support of a bigger picture. Nike and Totalsports have once again done just that with the Totalsports Women’s Race. The race is in support of the PinkDrive. The PinkDrive is a breast cancer community carer which works in many ways to help those affected by breast cancer, and more especially encourage early detection of breast cancer. “Early detection saves lives.” Many of us know of someone who either has breast cancer or is affected by breast cancer. To find out more about what PinkDrive is all about, click here. So I’ve decided to join in on the action and “run for life” for the very first time. I’ve had only 4 weeks to train and prepare for the 5km race. It’s been quite a challenge adjusting to the JHB air and getting a consistent routine going, but…

Skin Protection: Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso July 14, 2017

Day in and day out, we are exposed to the sun’s harmful radiation also known as UV rays. Contrary to popular belief, whether it’s scorching hot or not, it’s important to have sunscreen as part of your skincare routine. This is an important commitment for you to take through all four seasons. Sunscreen, otherwise known to many others as sunblock, reduces your risk of getting skin cancer, sunburn as well as premature skin aging. I personally used to shun upon all these facts and take skin care for granted until I took the time to educate myself. Only now am I more conscious of the benefits of using sunscreen as part of my skincare routine. With technology developments, dermatologist have been able to formulate skin care products which are specific to ones skin types as well as different SPF levels. I believe this is a brilliant way forward because now your skins…

Lost & Found with Tile

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso July 7, 2017

It is without a doubt that being a women is super high maintenance. From Monday to Sunday, whether you’re an entrepreneur or working 9-5, it can all get a bit much to handle at times. And when life piles up your work load you definitely need a helping hand to keep you on track. Over time, I’ve realised that whenever my mind is pre occupied or I’m feeling overwhelmed, I tend to forget the basics. And by the basics I mean simple things like where I’ve left my car keys. Well, I’ve recently discovered a gadget on the net which could come in super handy for those of us who often misplace things around the house. Contrary to popular belief, gadgets and tech isn’t solely for men to explore. I think of these gadgets as my extra helping hand and an accessory of some sort. Also, don’t get into…
