| 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
See you tomorrow on BLOGMAS DAY 1

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

South Africa’s favorite artisanal gin brand has pushed the

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.
