The Winter Sculpture Fair was one of my favourite events in Jozi last year, and I’m so excited that it will be happening once more this year. Imagine food and wine produced by 28 of Franschhoek’s most popular restaurants, producers and wineries, all in a beautiful setting, just an hour from Jozi. We spent the entire […]
It’s not often that I do follow up blog posts about events- but this one was too amazing not to. Last night, Woolies launched their Winter 2014 collection with their first Style By Night event, held at a venue I love- Turbine Hall. I think the bar was set when we got sent invites saying […]
I’ve had so many messages of support from readers and friends throughout this MBA process and I appreciate all of it so much. Now, it’s pretty much official. I’ve resigned, paid the MBA deposit, sold my flat and am well on my way to beginning this journey. It was a long road to get here, […]
I hope that by now, you all know about the Celebration of Bubbles Festival happening this weekend, which I gave away tickets to a few weeks back. Sadly (not really), I’ll be in the air, flying to Hong Kong for a very exciting project with Club Med that I’ll tell you all about soon, so […]
As my regular readers will know, I lost my dad about 6 months ago, and earlier this year, my mom moved from PE to JHB. I was SO excited to have her close by, and imagined her being my plus 1 to events, plus having her join me to do my nails and my hair […]
Because I *have* to come up with new restaurant ideas constantly for my page in the Sunday Independent, it’s VERY seldom that I return to the same restaurant twice. Even my old favourites have been neglected of late. So when I do go back to the same place, not twice, but thrice, you need to […]
Until about a year ago, I used supermarket shampoo on my hair and thought split ends and dryness were normal. I got lambasted by my stylist, and then started using Davines which I LOVE. However, when I travel, I take minimal cosmetics (leaves more space in my bag for shopping), and on my 3 week […]
*Competition is now closed. Congrats to the winner, Andrea!* It’s been ages since I’ve done a giveaway! I’ve been hoarding all the prizes people offer me for my Jozilicious Mixers, so I think it’s time to make up for that 🙂 On the weekend of 29/30 March at Inanda Country Club in Sandton, Joburgers […]
Luminance, SA’s only luxury, boutique department store (imo at least), has been around for almost a year, but I only set foot in it last week, at the launch of their Personal Shopping Experience. I went to the star studded store opening last year, but was ill so I had to leave early before the […]
I can’t count the number of times I’ve silently wished for a PA. I have one of those jobs where it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to leave the office during the day to run personal errands, meaning that most days it’s a mad rush through peak traffic to get to a Woolies before it […]
This past Saturday, I hosted the third Jozilicious Mixer. I have to say, that I think this was the best one yet. Having been to tons of events myself, I know what I like to get out of an event, so I try to create this experience for my readers, as well as make them […]

So sorry I’ve been quiet, I’m more than a little overwhelmed with all that’s been going on, with studying for CFA, rounding up at work plus prepping to move, in between planning trips to the USA and Europe! I promise to get some new posts up soon (it’s all in my MIND… I just need […]
