THANK YOU NOVEMBER

Soweto, South Africa

CAPE ISLAND LUXURY CANDLES


November was a really slow month content wise for me, but I guess
that I'm saving all of my energy for Blogmas (blogging daily for 25 days). 
Manage to attend two events (A live show at the Lyric Theatre and Making my own 
Gin with premium gin maker Inverroche) which were both great experiences and 
would like to thank the organizers for the invites. 

Content wise I slacked in November but hey I'm not mad 
when the motivation is not there it is not there. 
See some posts that I cooked up below: 
Seen them first on
 In Out & Around Soweto - http://www.aroundsoweto.com/

See you tomorrow on BLOGMAS DAY 1

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

Check out their Facebook page for more information: 


See You Soon

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
ginschool@indabahotel.co.za
