Exploring Joburg’s Culinary Delights at Mila Restaurant
Food tells a story that imprints memories. One thing about Joburgers — myself included — is that we truly appreciate the good life, and this was clear the day we headed out for a late lunch at Mila Restaurant at LXX in Sandton. From the moment we arrived, we stepped into an unhurried yet vibrant atmosphere, with patrons enjoying business lunches…

The stories allow our imagination to travel freely, introducing us to new ideas, perspectives and igniting our imagination. Two years ago, I started being intentional…

The final #TravelTuesday post for 2016!
As I write my final blog post for 2016, I take this moment and reflect on the year that was…what a tough year. I am grateful that through all the curve balls that life threw, I still managed to do some travelling and will forever be grateful for the memories created along the way. Our…

Road Trip to Mpumalanga
Its Travel Tuesday and this post is to encourage us to take more road trip. When I was growing up, I recall how my parents loved taking road trips. Their philosophy was, if you have a good working car, money for petrol and can afford a decent hotel, there’s really no excuse to take a…

The city by the bay – San Francisco (California, USA)

I attended a baby shower for my little sister from another mother and LOVED what her friends and sister put together for her. The attention to details was impeccable and I loved that they used their creativity with the little things, from the décor, to the cake selection…it was indeed another Splendid Experience. Kudos to the organisers.…

Vovo Telo has a warm, welcoming feeling with the…

Today I found my “greatness” with NikeSA, I was amongst the 20000 runners/walkers that participated in the 10km Nike We Run Jozi 2012 event. To be quiet honest, I was VERY reluctant to run this race, my reasons were:- The 20000 runners (I don’t seem to cope well with crowds) The start time and the…

So the iPhone 5 was launched, I must say, I was pretty miffed about the release of the iPhone 5 having had my ‘fossil’ 4s for only a year now. Even though on the surface the iPhone5 might look like the 4s, the iPhone5 has been upgraded tremendously, according to most tech reviews ‘It’s thinner,…
