My daughter gets excited every time I bring home anything new and she literally shrieked when she saw her Puma Tinycottons sneakers and top. The mandarin-coloured items with a cherry-logo caught her eye and she immediately asked to change into them. If you follow me on Instagram and watch my stories, you will know that my daughter […]
As World Hunger Month draws to a close, I wanted to share a bit of what I did, in my little world, to try and solve what I regard as a national crisis. I was both sad and shocked to hear this: 1120 children under the age of 5 die of malnutrition in South Africa! As […]

There are many beautiful and unique ways to celebrate our diverse African cultures and I loved seeing the vibrant colours on my social media feeds over the last few days. I put […]
It’s not every Tuesday that I get whisked to Cape Town for a fabulous skin and beauty experience – so excuse me if I come across a little bit too excited about the launch of JOHNSON’S Vita-Rich Smoothie Body range. It was no ordinary launch – it took place at the unassuming Atlantic Film Studios, in Montague Gardens. On […]
It’s been just over a year since my hubby took up an exciting career opportunity in another province – so I thought that it’s probably a good time to reflect on what I think it takes to make long distance marriage work. I hope this post will encourage a few people who may be in […]
