Motivation Monday | The Will To Win Poem by Berton Braley | Blogmas Day 7

 

I discovered this poem last week and since then 
it really stuck with me. 
Hope it gives you more understanding of this thing called WILL

If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace and
your sleep for it

If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,
Makes you hold all other things tawdry
and cheap for it

If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,

If gladly you'll sweat for it,
Fret for it, Plan for it,
Lose all your terror of God or man for it,

If you'll simply go after that thing that you want.
With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity,
Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,

If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness nor pain
Of body or brain
Can turn you away from the thing that you want,

If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
You'll get it!
- Berton Braley


See you soon.

Soweto, South Africa
Dried Chickpeas And Couscous Salad

 

Hey guy, hope all is well. 
It's been a while since I posted 
(Is it me or sharing food posts during the peak rona period was 
just something else),
2020 has been a very hectic but no worries I'm back.
On today's blog post I will be doing a Chickpea and Couscous Salad.

What I love about this salad is that you can 
have it hot or cold and even substitute the ingredients with your own favorites.
I like to also add some add some
seasonal fruits and vegetables (really whatever you like mostly goes here). 

In addition you can add some nuts and seeds to give it that nutty and crunchy texture,
you can have it as a salad or a side dish and it is really nutritious. 

How To: Dried Chickpeas And Couscous Salad



The Dried Chickpeas And Couscous Salad

-Couscous
-Chickpeas
-Tomatoes
-Cucumber
-Red onion 
-Cranberries
-Lemon
-Feta
-Pistachios
-Italian Parsley
-Salt and Pepper

For The Dressing

-Apple Cider Vinegar
-Grape Seed Oil
-Lemon
-Dry Mint or Fresh Mint
-Chopped Garlic and Ginger
-Salt and Pepper
(Let it sit for 2 hrs or overnight for the dry mint to soak in).

Happy Festive Season!!!

See you soon.

MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY FULL COVERAGE UNDER-EYE CONCEALER REVIEW ON DRY SKIN | BLOGMAS DAY 4

Soweto, South Africa
MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY FULL COVERAGE UNDER-EYE CONCEALER REVIEW ON DRY SKIN shade TAN45

MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY FULL COVERAGE UNDER-EYE CONCEALER 
BLEND-ABILITY?

MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY FULL COVERAGE UNDER-EYE CONCEALER REVIEW ON DRY SKIN - WITHOUT POWDER

MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY FULL COVERAGE UNDER-EYE CONCEALER REVIEW ON DRY SKIN - WITH SETTING POWDER


I bought the Maybelline Super Stay Concealer shade TAN a while back and haven't been 
using it because I thought it was too light 
and just would not blend, I don't know what got me thinking about that 
because the SuperStay Foundation is one of the best foundations, I've tried in a while. 

I jumped into the concealer because I was getting tied of the Revlon Candid
shade 070 and the L.A. Girl Concealer shade Fawn and wanted to 
try something else and the results were...

Claims:
No matter what’s on your agenda, look to Super Stay® Full Coverage Under-Eye Concealer to transform the look of your tired eyes.
 This full-coverage, yet lightweight concealer features a precise paddle applicator that effortlessly glides
 the formula onto the skin for a smooth, seamless finish. 
Our under eye concealer is waterproof, transfer and smudge resistant, and lasts for up to 24 hours.


How to use/apply:
Step 1. Using the applicator apply the desired amount under your eyes.
Step 2. Blend with fingers.

My Thoughts: 
Because I have a really super sensitive under eye area lately 
I've been using really minimal products around that area. 
The concealer appears to be really thick and bright at first sight. 

On application it is really thick and creamy and when I say a little goes a long
and can tell that I will be using this concealer for the next six months. 

On most days I use a concealer to cover up and brighten my under eye
circles, I thought that I could get away with not adding powder 
but this concealer needs powder as it creases, not a lot just enough 
for it to set and be good which is great. 

Would I buy this concealer again? Yes 
Do I recommend it yes, for everyday use and heavy glam looks
because it blends well in the eyes and is non drying. 

SHOP : HERE

Hope you enjoyed this format of a review. 

Will see you soon.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE IS UP | BLOGMAS DAY 3

Soweto, South Africa


This year has just gone by really quickly or slowly depending on who's answering
but one thing we know for sure is that it was out of this world so 
the second week of November I had to take out the Christmas Tree and set it up
because you know for the "happiness" it hopefully brings. 

We bought the Christmas tree 2013 December in what would be our mothers last Christmas with us 
and you know other than crying this time, I'm just glad the tree is still good 
and bringing us joy now with my daughter. 
Wow I just described a (circle of life) moment.

Christmas is a time for family laughter and joy, so this year I'm planning 
to be selfish and give myself that. 

Christmas Tree : SHOP HERE (*similar)

A what's in my Christmas Tree post will be up in a few days. 

See you soon.

KFC goes 50/50 with Mzansi to celebrate 50 years in South Africa | BLOGMAS DAY 2


Next year, KFC will celebrate 50 years of sharing its famous Original Recipe™
 with Mzansi. Since 1971, the popular chicken brand has served up millions of meals around the country and has,
 over five decades, cemented itself as one of South Africa’s most loved brands. 
A brand that is not only known for its high-quality standards, 
but for also offering its customers delicious
 tasting meals at great prices - making it affordable for all South Africans 
to enjoy the goodness of KFC. 

 A crazy year deserves a crazy celebration and so to honour almost 50 years in the country,
 KFC is going big by going halvies with South Africa this December. 

 
Marketing Director at KFC South Africa, Suhayl Limbada said, 
Celebrating 50 years in South Africa with local fans is a big deal for us and so
 we’re going big the only way we know how – by sharing it with Mzansi.”
To celebrate into their 50th anniversary year, for the first time ever KFC
 also went 50/50 with talented local illustrator,
 Russell Abrahams (AKA Yay Abe) to design a unique collection of limited-edition Birthday Buckets. 
Inspired by KFC’s heritage and the culture of Mzansi, Yay Abe added his bold, 
bright and playful illustration style to the iconic KFC buckets - which always brings people together - to create a range of collectable buckets 
that will hopefully bring a little more colour and a lot more flare to festive tables this December. 

HOW THE #LETSGO5050 PROMOTION WORKS: 

KFC is offering customers 50% off selected products every day from the
 1st to the 20th of December 2020. 
Whether you pop into your local KFC or swing by the drive-thru be sure to hurry as specials are limited to the first 100 customers in store (up to 2 items per transaction). 
But, if you miss out, order online or via the KFC App as 
the deals are available all day (up to 5 items per transaction). 


THESIS LIFESTYLE X KFC

Not shy on celebratory spirit, or local collaborations, KFC also went 50/50 with local fashion brand Thesis Lifestyle to create a limited-edition collection of KFC inspired streetwear. 
With a finger on the pulse of the street culture and style, 
the founder of the Soweto-based brand, Wandile Zondo and his partner Galebowe Mahlatsi,
 create streetwear that they hope
 will inspire the next generation to define themselves. 

The Thesis x KFC Collection includes an exclusive run of bespoke t-shirts, 
vests, tote bags and bucket hats. These were designed to reflect what they believe KFC founder, Colonel Sanders, would be proud to see and experience if he were to visit the streets of Mzansi today. “Bringing together the original style of streetwear in Soweto, with the original flavour and flare of KFC, we want this range to tell a story that salutes the South African people of KFC, 
from their thousands of employees to their millions of fans,” 
said Zondo of Thesis, “Thesis is more than just a brand, it’s a lifestyle, and the same is true about KFC, it is a part of our culture".


The collection will be on sale from the 1st of December and the best part is that 50% of all sales will
 be going towards the KFC Add Hope programme,
 so fans can go 50/50 with KFC to support more children who need it most

SHOP COLLECTION : 


BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

What would a Birthday be without gifts? KFC will also be gifting Thesis x KFC swag items on their social platforms in December with giveaways every day from 21 - 30 December 2020. 
In KFC’s 50/50 spirit, winners will each win two prizes 
so they can go 50/50 with their loved ones by gifting them too. 
Stay tuned to the KFC social media pages to enter.

OPENING NEW PRODUCTS FROM VICHY | BLOGMAS DAY 1

Soweto, South Africa

 

Hey guyzies, hopefully everything is well and okay. 
Today's post is a simple one, I recently received a PR package from VICHY and just wanted to 
find out more about them since it will be my first time using their products. 
I've always seen them but never gravitated towards them, maybe it's because sometimes
at Dishem their products are soo close to the door when you walk-in and the sales assistance 
always want to upsell some other product you never even heard off, so I just end up never buying 
any of their products. 

So today is the day we learn more about their products and what they have in-store for us. 

The post is all about their claims and my first initial impressions, 
from what I gather there isn't alot of claims, which is great, 
because some products have a lot claims and then under-deliver

DOING BLOGMAS & CAPTURING DECEMBER 2020 | DECEMBER GOALS

Soweto, South Africa

 

2020 hasn't been great for my feed and blog as the content was on 
a downward spiral, but haha Blogtober really challenged me to 
wear my big girl boots and just do this blogging/content creation thing and 
you know what I missed and I loved it.

So December 2020 is here South Africa is still in Lockdown Level 1 but the 
restrictions are not that bad, plus it's summer so the rigidness is gone
making people myself included have a bit more fun with other kids. 
2020 has been hella depressing, the amount of opportunities haven't been that great 
but we push through because I'm in this blogging business for a long run. 

I'm planning to share more content even more on my Instagram and to do that
I've decided to participate on the Capturing December Challenge were one captures 
a pic daily and upload it using the word of that day as a guide line, this challenge is supposed to be fun and is meant to be enjoyed. 
So if you want to part take in it, you can kindly check out my Instagram. 

In addition to Capturing December I'm doing Blogmas because I love Christmas
and anything other than me posting and creating content this December 
will put in a depression, so create create create, that is the plan. 
Blogmas is 25 days of 25 posts mostly Christmas related and it is also 
supposed to be fun no stress here because sharing your traditions is fun and 
from what I gather everyone celebrates Christmas different and ooh the food on Christmas Day, 
I cannot wait. 

So I hope you enjoy the content that I have instore for you 
and make sure that you are subscribed to my YouTube Channel because
I'm planning on uploading there also, just not vlogs just regular content. 

See you soon.

CORNA SOTRA LIFESTYLE | AROUND SOWETO BUSINESS

Soweto, South Africa

Corna Sotra is a fresh new platform for creativity and pushing social awareness 
of local businesses and local brands LOCALLY. khona'e sotra

Statement from Corna Sotra Founders: 
(This statement was made during Winter 2020)

Life has never been easy for us as a black community that we know and experience on a daily, however, we as Corna Sotra LifeStyle prefer being solution based. 
We believe that some if not all of the issues we face in our community can be easily tackled when we work in a unitary manner. 
The topic on electricity for one. We complain to the service provider (Eskom) for giving us a bad service and all. In this time and age are we really fixing our eyes on one 
electricity service provider to keep our lights on? 
With all the great minds we meet at the Corna we know that our brothers and sister are qualified and highly recommended to tackle such situations. The Towers in Orlando is a given for us. Since we can't meet at the Corna for now, let's meet on social platforms and provide solutions
 for our everyday challenges.

#WeHaveEverythingWeNeed

Corna Sotra Lifestyle sessions take place
on the 1st week of each month in Molapo Soweto

MAKING MY OWN GIN FROM SCRATCH | INVERROCHE GIN SCHOOL

Johannesburg, Fourways, Sandton,
 
South Africa’s favorite artisanal gin brand has pushed the
envelope once again with the launch of Inverroche Gin Schools in Gauteng. Through
these gin schools Inverroche will teach people the wonders of gin, educate them about the
brand and teach them the basics of creating quality gin through an innovative experience
at the Inverroche Gin School.

The Inverroche Gin School offers an educational and exciting journey through the endless
world of Gin. This three-hour experience, presented by a knowledgeable expert, allows
guests in groups of up to 12 people, to be taken back in time to the spirits origin hundreds
of years ago, all the way to the great popularity it enjoys today. Enjoy artisanal cocktails
paired with canapé treats, learn new things, and have a laugh about facts you would
barely believe to be true. A great excursion for friends, colleagues or anyone looking for a
unique activity and experience in Gauteng.



“Some see a tasting room; we see a gin distiller in every guest”
These one of a kind, multisensory, experiences will allow curious gin lovers the
opportunity to learn about the brand through a gin distillation master class and have an
opportunity to distil their very own gin, from selecting the botanicals to bottling and
labelling their one of a kind bottle of gin - a first in South Africa, as true to the pioneering
ethos of the Inverroche.

Inverroche Gin Schools will be available for consumer experiences in mid-November and
can be found at the following locations:

Gin School at Indaba Hotel, Fourways, Johannesburg
William Nicol Drive, Pieter Wenning Road Johannesburg, Fourways, Sandton,
2191
