Hello Moto!

Hello Moto!

My very first cellphone I ever had was a Motorola. I bet you’re thinking, yeah me too! If you ever wondered what happened to Motorola, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s back, and after playing with the new Motorola Moto Z Smart Phone, I have a feeling it is going to take South Africa by storm!

How To Spring Clean Your Closet, LetGo & Make Money

How To Spring Clean Your Closet, LetGo & Make Money

I have a closet room cupboard full of clothes. Yet, I’m always faced with the common dilemma of not having anything to wear. It’s not that I don’t have enough, it’s just that I have a cupboard full of things that either don’t fit, don’t suit my style, or things I just can’t get rid of because I spent too much money on them. While every girl wants a well edited collection of wearable items, Spring is the perfect time to shed the excess and start working towards that dream closet goal. By dream closet, I don’t mean one that’s floor-to-ceiling-wall-to-wall, but rather a happy place, filled with pieces of clothing and items that you would actually wear. So today, I’m going to give you a quick guide to spring cleaning your closet, show you how to LetGo and even make some money on the side. Money you can use for new items that are actually YOU, and it’s all thanks to a fun, interactive mobile shopping App called LetGo.

My Summer Mixtape

My Summer Mixtape

Remember the days when you’d create your own mixtape filled with songs you love? I remember sitting on top of the radio, with a cassette (ah ha, those good old things) ready to go and my finger eagerly on the record button. Today it’s much easier to create playlists, thanks to all the awesome music listening tools and apps available online. One that I’ve been loving lately is Spotify, and it’s an awesome way to create playlists (AKA the modern day version of a mixtape) and share it with the world. So I’ve put together a mixtape of my favourite tunes for the Summer of 2016/17. My taste in music is quite varied, and I don’t believe that I fall into any single category. I can go from listening to commercial “cheese” as some would call it, to hard rock, to metal, to 8o’s to classical music, it all just depends on my mood.

Save Water! #1DayOn10Liters

Save Water! #1DayOn10Liters

On Tuesday this week was World Water Day and together with a whole lot of other bloggers and influencers, Giorgio Armani challenged us to take part in the #1DayOn10Liters online awareness campaign. In a nutshell, the challenge was about using only 10 liters of water for just one day to do everything we’d normally do, from cooking to cleaning to drinking and washing.

Working It Out

Working It Out

Lately, I’m thinking more and more about gym and exercise and getting fitter and all that jazz. No it’s not because it’s January (actually, well it probably is – let’s hope not though as those resolutions tend to fade – not that this is a resolution for me).

Bohemian Garden Party with Lucozade Pink Lemonade

Bohemian Garden Party with Lucozade Pink Lemonade

If given the chance, what would you do over in pink and with energy? To launch their delicious new flavour, Pink Lemonade, Lucozade is running an awesome competition where you could win your very own “do-over”. All you have to do is purchase a 500ml bottle of Lucozade Pink Lemonade,  SMS the underliner code and include your “Do Over” 33585. If I had the chance to do something over, #DoItWithPink and #DoItWithEnergy, I would totally do over my bridal shower. Not that I didn’t love being surrounded by my best friends and family, but in terms of a totally awesome “themed” shower – I’d have loved a little 70’s style bohemian garden party! One that starts at noon and goes well into the night. For that, we’ll need lots of energy, so there will be plenty of Lucozade Pink Lemonade on offer. When I got married, there was no Pinterest, so giving your bridesmaids a mood board filled with ideas on what you’d like wasn’t really an option. Back then, it was just your standard bridal shower with pink feather boa’s, afternoon “tea” and for the ones who survived the fun and games – a girls night out at some club. The club part was never…

Going UP! On A Tuesday

Going UP! On A Tuesday

This weekend I got to test drive the cute, new Volkswagen UP! The small car, with a big attitude! The UP! is VW’s compact city car, and it’s the perfect little run around car that looks as funky as it feels. Surprisingly responsive, the 55kw engine has a decent amount of power, and considering I’m used a much bigger engine, I didn’t feel deprived – only a little when overtaking on the highway. The UP! is smaller than the VW Polo, and I think it’s way cuter and funkier. It’s almost got that up and coming yuppie attitude. At 3,54 meters long and 1,64 meters wide, one of the features I loved was being able to squeeze into small parking spaces (something I can’t do in my FJ – although I usually just climb the pavement *wink*). I love the Interior. It’s got a touch of sporty funkiness and very spacious, although I did find that there is very limited console space. When I first opened the boot I was like whhhhhatt! Where am I supposed to put my shopping?! Until I discovered a hidden compartment that practically doubles up the boot space. Such a cool feature! The model I…
