Welcome to South Africa YouTube Music

By

YouTube Music launches in South Africa Hello, lovers! I have some exciting news to share with you all.  Some of you may have viewed my Insta Stories ( Follow @Iamthandolwethu )  out and about with  YouTube South Africa but hadn’t quite figured out what the event was all about. Upon arrival, I was also still as clueless as everyone else in the room. All I could tell was that what ever was about to be announced was BIG. As the evening went on, the #YouTubeMusic started to make more sense as I saw some of South Africa’s biggest artists casually walking around the room. This announcement was definitely about to be BIG! As time went by, we all gathered around the most beautiful and bright stage for the surprise announcement. Yup, you guessed it! YouTube Music has finally made its way to South Africa. The evening wrapped up with the…

CIROC Colada Cocktail

By

Last week I was invited to the CIROC Media Launch, as they introduced to us the CIROC Colada. The weather God’s were definitely on our side, with The Maslow hotel being the perfect location for such an event. I was also very excited upon arrival to see that NYX Cosmetics was also in the House. This meant that your girl would be looking cute right through out the event! And speaking of cute, I can’t not let you in on the fact that Melody Molale has now joined the CIROC South Africa family – what a perfect match! Congrats girl.  😉   Now back to the event… The service was absolutely great, and so was the ambiance. I was literally back tracking to December with my bestie. So for those of you who want to bring back that summer feeling and love cocktails as much as I do, I’ll be sharing…

National Milk Tart Day

By

Hey Lovers! The sweetest surprise just arrived at my doorstep and I couldn’t help but share this moment with you all! So those who know me well know just how much milk tart is my top favorite sweet treat. So when I heard it was National Milk Tart day you can only imagine how excited your girl was. It’s no doubt that the Milk Tart is a South African ledgend and has been shared with family and friends, during the most beautiful moments. Today, I share this very moment with Bain’s Whiskey. I say this because this Milk Tart which was a specially delivery for me is infused with Bain’s Whiskey. Awarded the title of 2018’s world’s Best Grain Whiskey, it remains as the only whisky in the world made from 100% sun kissed South African grain. Now that’s something worth celebrating!

The Bachelor SA S1

By

Just last week I had the opportunity to visit the Google South Africa offices. The invite was around The Bachelor SA, M-Net’s newest reality dating series to hit Mzansi shores. For the very first time ever , South Africa now has its very first bachelor Mr Lee Thompson.  The 29 year old former Sharks rugby play, entrepreneur international model from Cape Town gets to date 24 beautiful ladies who each boast a diverse range of admirable qualities.  Now, back to the invite. I definitely expected that we would find out more about The Bachelor SA and  what’s still to come, but little did I know that we would actually have the privilege of meeting The Bachelor, Lee.  Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and had a few seconds to breathe. Look, I definitely needed a moment post the traffic I had experienced. Each of the guests then had a moment…

Valentine’s Day Ideas

By

It’s that time of the year again, where love is in the air and some of our pockets are still running dry from the festive summer we have had. However, that’s not an excuse to not celebrate love! I’ve found that there are gifts one can purchase, as well as experiences one can embark on with their love interest at a reasonable dig at the pocket. Below I have run through just three gifting ideas you can look into, suited for both men and women. When it comes to gifts, no matter how big or small, I believe that they should be meaningful and practical. Daniel Wellington Exclusive Gift Set It’s time to say “I love you” with an exclusive Daniel Wellington gift set. These gift sets include a complimentary heart charm, gift wrapping as well as personal “I love you” note for you to personalize for your love. I…

HIRSCH’S 12 Days Of Christmas Sale

By

Hey lovers, With Christmas around the corner, there have been great deals going around for us to make the most of. One of these fantastic  deals has come from HIRSCH’S. Their 12 Days Of Christmas sale boasts great deals on their Nutribullet 8 piece grey, Hisense 230L Bar Fridge, Alliance Portable Air Conditioner and so much more. From the 12 Days Of Christmas Sale by HIRSCH’S I scored big on the Philips Advance AirFryer. This for me was a great find, because I’ve been making a conscious effort to find healthier ways of preparing my food. The concept of “frying with air” for me had me thinking I’d lose out on a saucy treat, but instead, as I write this I’m chilling and enjoying some crispy yet tender chicken. No fuss, no oily mess! Grilled Kebabs, sausages and burgers are prepared so well using the Philips Advance AirFryer. I also…

Cruises International: Oceania Cruises

By

When we speak of wealth, travel is definitely top of mind because as we all know “the world is your oyster”. With much to discover, experience and marvel at, time is definitely of the essence when it comes to travel. We all underestimate just how much the checking in, flying and all other logistics can take away from our experience. Also, just how frustrating it can become. This is why I believe cruising to the worlds most exquisite destinations in a luxury cruise line offers you a fuller, simpler and quality experience in your travels.  With my discovery of Cruises International, I’ve come to appreciate their  attention to detail to ensure that your experience is perfectly tailored to meet your travel desires.

By

Christmas is right around the corner and stores have started displaying subtle reminders of this as we approach the festive season. For some, panic sets in as they dread the admin of decorating and thinking of gifting options. For others, the shopping has begun!  I had the opportunity of joining the MRP Home team as they revealed their inspiring Summer trends and Christmas Pop-Up store. Amongst the guests were Sarah Lange, Roxy Burger and Thickleeyonce. The evening kicked off with a warm welcome and a breakdown of what’s to come by MC for the night Leigh-Anne Williams. We were then educated on MRP Home as well as what to expect trend wise via a panel discussion by the MRP Home team. Thereafter, we had the chance to be schooled by the experts. Romy Meurer of the Gift Wrap Studio gave us some tips and tricks on custom gift wrapping. Nthabi…

TRUELOVExLORNAM

By

Hey Lovers! Some of you may have peeped my Insta stories on the day of Lorna Maseko’s True Love cover luncheon at Codfather, Sandton. For those who didn’t, I’ve shared a vlog from the day below. But before we get into that, I would love to share with you all just how much the article on Lorna by Kemong Mopedi stuck out for me, as well as how I personally identify with some of what I read. Energy speaks louder than me saying hello to you, and it’s not something you can fake. I’m very down to earth and just want to spread positive energy at all times. – Lorna Very often, we tend to create ideas in our minds of who a person is before we even get the chance to have a personal interaction with them. Our conclusions are largely drawn from hearsay as well as the visual…

#NextVictory

By

Hey lovelies! It’s that time of the year where everyone is trying to retrace their steps and attempt to measure just  how successful their year has been. One thing’s for sure, it’s been a year filled with lessons for everyone!   One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learnt this year is to focus on being impactful. Diddy recently tweeted something that changed my whole perspective on what I put out into the world.  Now I work a lot smarter. I focus more on doing things where I can have the greatest impact. I think longer-term and more strategically. That’s all part of working smarter. – Diddy It’s so important that we stay in tune with self and not be rushed by the world we live in. It’s also equally important that we don’t get caught up in things beneath the highest use of our gift. With this in mind, take…
