Missing you...

Hello everyone!


So the website is taking longer than I had anticipated, but we're getting there!!!
The perfectionist in me has delayed the process...

I have missed this space so much, but I'll be back soon...

Yo! It's Friday

Greetings!!!!

I went MIA again!! I deserve a spanking, lol!
I'm working on my website so very soon I will be moving the blog there and this one will unfortunately have to shut down!
I'll keep you updated as to when that will be and hope that you can join me there.

I am so excited to see how it all comes together, I had an entire photo shoot for the website and haven't seen the final images yet, but will give you a little tease once I have them!
All in all, I'm still very well and happy!
Everyone has been complaining about the sudden change in weather here in Johannesburg, but I'm enjoying the rain and slight cold.
I'm just not too happy about the potholes on the road and the mild floods affecting certain areas.

It's Friday! woop!
And you won't believe this, but I'm actually going to a club tonight! hahaha, I haven't been in quite some time and so I'm really looking forward to it.
A friend of mine is celebrating his birthday party so I'll be letting my hair down tonight!

I'll post a few pics this weekend.
Have a great one and be safe out there.

Weekend...

Notice something different? Of course! My long hair is back and I couldn't be happier...the power of hair extension right? Amazing!

In hair extension we trust, always and forever!!

I hope you're having a great weekend! Mine is pretty chilled, but it's about to get very interesting. My boyfriend is taking me to the stadium tonight! For a soccer match!!

My body was in such shock when I uttered the word 'YES' when he asked. 

I'm not a huge soccer fan and growing up I'd only watch it on TV because my dad was watching at the time and we only had one TV set so it was either soccer or playing in the street, which I wasn't happy to do so the former would always take centre stage!

My dad is a Kaizer Chiefs fan and mom was an Orlando Pirates fan so I'd switch between the two teams.

And now... well, now I'm an Orlando Pirates fan. 

Can you guess why?

LOL.

My Look and..... WOOLWORTHS!

This is what I wore yesterday! A very chilled look that I love! One great thing about having a boyfriend is that I get to wear his clothes! hahaha. 

I can't let go of his trackpants simply because I think they look so much better on me. 

They go just below the knee when he wears them and become full on long tracks when worn by me! 

Did you notice my hair? 

Yes, it's shorter now! This is just after it made its debut just last week! 

I was shooting an incredibly exciting campaign for Woolworths 3 days ago and they decided that shorter hair would look better with the looks they were trying to achieve.

I agree, it worked with the outfits I wore for the upcoming winter campaign but I can't help but miss my long hair!

 I'll try stay with the short for a week and see how I feel thereafter. You never know, I might just want to keep it short for a very long time. 

My stay in Cape Town was short-lived and it was all work and no pleasure, which is really hard to complain about when work feels like pleasure!
I had a great time shooting the Woolworths TV commercial and photo stills and will definitely fill you in or post a pic or 2 when the campaign launches in March!

Here are some pics that the girls and I took at the shoot! 

We are the 6 final faces of the Woolworths '14 winter campaign and I feel so blessed so have made the cut!

This is definitely one of my career highlights!

My short hair after the big chop!

Sharing a moment with Angelique.

When in doubt...pout!

Angelique has thee coolest tattoo of a sunflower! All of us actually thought it was a sticker!
She loves sunflowers!

Some behind the scenes action with Neo.

Angelique, me, Shannon,Neo,Melody and Minnie. Wait! is that a photo bomber? That's Mike!
We were all saying goodbye.

Melody can never take a bad pic even if she tried! Love her!

Minnie and I. She's super awesome!

Neo! She can talk for daaaaays! Wonderful lady with a great personality. Did I mention kick-ass model?

Neo was born to model!
She works it in front of the camera...effortlessly!

In make-up

Angelique and I are gangsters ok! I just need to look meaner! Gangsters don't smile!

Myself and the gorgeous Melody Molale (she's married and making it look so good!)
She makes me want to get married! ( I hope my boy is not reading this)

The lovely blonde bombshell, Shannon!

Me lately...

I took these photos with my phone yesterday!

I was shooting my SABC 1 music talk show Zaziwa and happy to say that everything went incredibly well, we got some amazing shows in the bag and I can't wait for you to see them!!

A big thank you to the make-up artist Simphiwe (Simphizi on instagram) for making me look gorgeous! The secret lies in a make-up technique called contouring! 

It works like magic!

Jan so far...

2014 is proving to be a great year already and I'm enjoying every bit of it!

January especially has been a month filled with great news!

I unfortunately at the moment can't divulge any more info, but I will in due course!

As soon as I get the nod to make the announcements, I promise I will.

I can honestly say that there isn't anything major to complain about and for that I am grateful.

I'm still in a good space, God is good!

Surrounding yourself with the things that make you happy makes a world of a difference, try it!

This year for me is dedicated to following happiness!

I don't have any major plans for the weekend since I have scripts (for my music talk show) to complete.

We have a 2 day back to back shoot next week, so it's going to be quite a hectic one for me!

I'm looking forward to it, regardless!

Be safe this weekend!

Pink Perfection

This is a look from one of my shoots!

I absolutely love it!

It's very classy...

I felt  and looked like the lady that I am in it.

Even if I have to say so myself!

MIA

So I have finally accepted that going MIA is part of my make up...

This fact has been difficult to come to terms with, but I have made the decision to be honest with myself..

It's a sad reality for me because I absolutely love being part of this blogging space and it might also be a sad thing for you who enjoys reading my random posts.

So why would I go ahead and accept this sad reality of not being able to commit to blogging every day you ask?...  Or once a week at least?

Well, I don't have the answer to that except to tell you that I'll try my hardest to post  every day often - I've scratched out 'every day' because it's something I promised to do some time last year, and  have failed dismally at it! And I hate failing.... at anything, so I'll avoid it this time around and also save another broken promise.

I can, however, promise that I'll be more open with my life this year!

That's good right? 

It'll make up for all the times you paid a visit to my blog only to find a post that you read 2 weeks ago! Right? Of course!

And here I am now, walking away guilt-free and boy does it feel good!

I hope you've been taking good care of yourself, I certainly have...

I'm happy!

Nominations announcements - What I wore...

I attended the Metro FM awards nominations announcements last night and this is what I wore!

Can you tell I was feeling super sexy??? Oh yeah!

Dressed by SCALO.

MUST-WATCH!! Woolies and Soweto Gospel Choir: Madiba Tribute

This video touched my heart, gave me goosebumps and made me shed a tear.

What a beautiful flashmob tribute by the Soweto Gospel Choir.
Such heavenly voices and oh what a beautiful moment this is!
I can't get over it!

I had to share it, take a moment to watch...

 

 Rest In Peace Tata Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

My Look Today

This is what I'm wearing today and I feel soooo sexay!!

In the spirit of trying new things, I'm trying out this whole 'sexy look' thing, which I've never attempted before and I think I like it.
I've always done 'cute' and it worked, let's see how sexy goes.

What now?

I have been cracking my skull trying to figure out what new thing to try this week.
You know... in the spirit of trying one new thing each week like I promised.

I am still thinking about it!
If you have any ideas, do throw them my way, I'll even take dares!

Anyway, below is my state of mind right now!

I had an average weekend!
It truly could've turned out better, but I don't like complaining so I won't.

See? I'm ready for your dares!

Anything goes...

It's Dezemba after all!

What'chu got for me?

R.I.P Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

"Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the eternity" - Nelson Mandela .

I am deeply saddened by the passing of the father of our nation, Tata Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. As much as it hurts that he's gone, I am finding comfort in his words. He has indeed done what he considered to be his duty to his people and his country, including the rest of the world. As I celebrate his life and mourn his passing, I will carry on his legacy and do my bit to make the world a better place.

What a selfless man.

Rest In Peace Tata.

Tried something new...

So.... I did say I'd try something new every week right?

What did I do this week?

I wore a dress WITHOUT any stocking underneath!!

You're probably wondering why I am so excited about my little accomplishment...

Thing is, for the longest time I've been very insecure about my legs! I have not exposed my legs to the world in years because I've always thought I had big knees. I still think I do, but I just don't care anymore!

Friends would always go on about how they didn't understand my obsession and why I was even hiding my legs, but that's the thing about insecurities, people don't see what you see.

For YEARS, I wore long pants and because I really love short dresses, I always wore them with stockings...to 'cover up' and since I'm on TV, I'd always get questions about this and I'd always come up with some excuse about how I just love the way outfits look with stocking on, how this look just made me stand out...blah blah blah...

Not anymore! 

I may not have the ''perfect'' legs, but I have legs!

I can walk, I can run, I am healthy, I'm alive.... and for that I am grateful.

People have much bigger problems out there!

I love every bit of my body, flaws and all!

Learning to love your body begins by letting go of those socially imposed ideals that are supposed to make the 'perfect' human being.

This is me, take me as I am.... 'big knees', thick thighs and all!

Any insecurities you have/had that you'd like to share?

Something new....

Remember my previous post about trying something new every week? Well I thought I'd try something new here on the blog!
A NEW look!

I just gave the blog a MAKE-OVER! 

You like? I definitely do!
