Spring/Summer 2019 Clothing Try On Haul

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso September 9, 2019

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaCIUDa9pJQ Hey lovers, It feels as though we have jumped right from Winter and straight into Summer. Yes, pretty much skipping Spring. I thought to myself, why not share some of my favorite looks with you all, and also look into some trends we can all play around with this season. I created these looks from DENIM with casual vibes in mind. Of course you can always throw on a blazer and high heels if you want to make these looks a bit more formal. You’ll realise that two of the three looks are actually co-ords. I absolutely enjoy just how much room co-ords give me to play with my looks. They offer me the versatility that denims also give me, so I am able to somewhat “recycle” my looks. Below each of the looks, I’m going to give you the “alternative” of how else you can rock these pieces.…

Starbucks At Home Launch – South Africa

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso August 30, 2019

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g05lEI-y7f4&t=11s Hey lovers, If you follow me on my social media profiles you’ll know just how much of a coffee lover I am. I can’t get on with my day without having some love in a cup. When I first heard of Starbucks At Home, and saw posts from their social media influencers, I wasn’t quite clear about what this new experience would be all about. Well, on 28 August 2019 I had the privilege of attending the official Starbucks At Home Launch at Ferguson’s 5th Floor, and I’m here to tell you all about it. NESTLÉ has officially launched a new range boasting 17 coffee products under the Starbucks brand. This is the first product launch in Africa since NESTLÉ and Starbucks formally joined forces and created a global coffee alliance in August 2018. From whole bean and roast coffees, ground coffees and of course my new personal favorite… capsules.…

Mantsho x HM South Africa Launch Event

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso August 28, 2019

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcnfWQLlNDA&t=451s The MANTSHOxHM collaboration has been of particular interest to me since the very minute it was announced to be in the works. I couldn’t quite place my finger on exactly how the collaboration would translate to global markets, yet still remain true to the core values of the Mantsho brand, African prints and textures. However, Ihat I did know was that Africa was ready! On a fine Wednesday night, I missioned to Victoria Yards, which mind you, I’d never been to before. It seemed like quite a random location for such an occasion. However, because I know just how well researched and strategic the H&M team is when it comes to creating a full on brand experience, I knew it would be a night to remember! Once people had settled into the venue and had the opportunity to view the highly aticipated MantshoxHM pieces , we got an electric celebratory…

True Love Magazine Night Of Style

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso August 20, 2019

It’s always such a pleasure to watch the fashion space explore various ways of showcasing the beautiful work of our South African designers. After all, we do have many more days on the calendar which the world of fashion can occupy – far beyond just the annual Fashion weeks which have established a solid footprint. On Thursday 15th of August, True Love Magazine in association with Mazda South Africa set out to host a “Night of Style” at The Galleria Conference and Events Venue in Sandton, South Africa. This is the second year of Night of Style, and this years installment featured the designs of Matte Nolim, Superdry, Rubicon, Loin Cloth & Ashes, RUFF TUNG, Polo, Ryan Keyes, JJ Schoeman, Orapeleng Modutle Style Avenue, La Art Nevoile Emporium and Gert-Johan Coetzee. This was definitely a star studded affair, and everyone was dressed to the nines. Sponsors Bernini ensured each guest received…

Daily Dish – Dinner Box: Classic 2

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso August 17, 2019

Hey lovers! GET R350 OFF OF YOUR DAILY DISH, USE PROMO CODE: THANDO So the foodie in me simply couldn’t help but share in on my experience of Daily Dish. Just last week I received a message from the Daily Dish team offering to send me one of their dinner boxes, and of course I wanted in on the experience. I’ve seen quite a few posts on social media about them, but hadn’t had a full on look into what they are all about. So, for the person who may be wondering what they’re all about – this one’s for you. I will be compiling this blog post a bit differently than I normally do. I’ll be going for more of a day to day diary session like format, just to give as raw a description of each day as possible. I’ll be chatting on the food preparation process and…

Lancôme New Advanced Génifique serum

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso August 8, 2019

Hey lovers! Just yesterday, I had the exciting opportunity to be part of the exclusive reveal of the Advanced Génifique serum. The informative press event held at the L’Oréal South Africa Head Offices was led by Namate Moyo [ Marketing Manager for Lancôme ] , Ashley Fernandes [ National Education, Retail & Services Manager, L’Oreal Luxe ] and Dr Heidi [ Advanced Research Manager Sub-Saharan Africa at L’Oréal ] I must say, the best thing about this session was having Dr Heidi in the room. Dr Heidi’s portfolio covers South Sub Saharan Africa, which includes raw portfolio ingredient and technology support towards skin and hair. She is also in charge of the incubator and the open innovation L’Oréal does within her region. She did a great job at helping us understand all the scientific terms and how the skin works beyond what meets the eye. Now back to the product.…

Neutrogena Hydrogel Recovery Masks

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso July 15, 2019

Hey, lovers! So a few weeks ago I gave you all a sneak peak into what went down at the Mask And Slumber party I went to hosted by Nomzamo Mbatha, in partnership with Neutrogena. If you haven’t checked it out, what are you waiting for? 😉 https://youtu.be/sh_h3Vnt2Oo Well, I’ve decided to share a bit more info into the masks we used during our stay at Fairlawns Boutique Hotel. The masks, inspired by South Korean technology, fuse the nourishing essences the skin needs with a polymer derived from seaweed to form a translucent, flexible layer that fits snuggly around the face while saturating it with moisture. These face masks are a multi-tasker’s BFF. From juggling a busy schedule to finding the time to relax, they are an ideal multitasking companion for even the busiest of schedules. The mask only needs to be on the skin for 15 minutes to do…

The COSMO Influencer Awards

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso July 3, 2019

Held at SMAC gallery, the very first COSMO Influencer awards in association with Bernini were in honor of South African social media stars, both upcoming and those who have made a solid impact in the digital world as influencers. Over the past couple of years, COSMO has been one of the magazines to actively recognise and trust in the voice of influencers across the board. From beauty, fashion, lifestyle and the YouTube world. This was evident through the 2019 March Influencer Issue starring Jessica Van Heerden, Mihlali Ndamase and Nadia Jafta as the cover girls. Although there was much talk around the choice in cover stars, I believe the cover was a great conversation starter. Many more influencers were featured even within the covers of the magazine, which was a great way of encouraging the growth of this industry, as well as recognising all the creatives who put in so…

Mask And Slumber Party

By Thandolwethu Tsekiso June 26, 2019

If there’s one thing you should know about me, It’s that I’m a sucker for some fun girl time. So, when Nomzamo sent me an exclusive invite to her Mask And Slumber Party she would be hosting in partnership with Neutrogena, I was so thrilled! For those of you who may not know, among the many other roles Nomzamo Mbatha has, she is an actress, UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, PUMA Ambassador, Audi Ambassador, and the face of Neutrogena. Her light shines so so bright, and covers not only herself, but also those who in any way come in contact with her. The ever so graceful beaut shared some profound words at the dinner table about the beauty industry. It’s important for me to just push a different narrative. I think the beauty industry right now is just inundated with things that are supposed to be aesthetically perfect. Whether we try to…
