Last year, I dropped the ball, parenting wise. I was too busy chasing my #CareerGoals to realise that my sons were battling at school and needed their mom. I can’t turn back the hands of time, but I can make a concerted effort to do things differently in 2019, for their sake and, possibly, my sanity. The thing is that children grow, and if you don’t pause and actually look them in the eyes for a moment, you’ll blink and they’ll be off to varsity or to start their own lives and families. You would have missed important milestones, school concerts and birthdays, and you’ll be left alone without a single memory of your kids to treasure. I now drop them off at school every morning (or as often as…

HOW TO WEAR THE TREND: TAKE YOUR CUE FROM TOM FORD, AND OPT FOR ONE OR TWO PATTERNS TO CREATE ONE LOOK. From preppy tartans and checks in clean collegiate cuts to vampy feline and zebra prints, the A/W runways were brimming with inspiration. We dare you to take the challenge and don top-to-toe prints to your next meeting!…

If you don't have one already, then it's time to invest in a quality leather jacket. This winter staple is versatile and can be paired with anything, including pants, a dress or skirt. Up the style stakes with a bit of silver — a bag, boots or jacket — to transform darker tones, and top it off with a silk scarf.…

Beauty Editor’s Tip: THE SECRET BEHIND GLOWING MAKE-UP IS TO ENSURE THAT YOUR SKIN IS CLEANSED AND HYDRATED BEFORE APPLYING FOUNDATION. USE A SOFT NYLON FACIAL CLEANSING BRUSH TO REMOVE EXCESS SEBUM AND DIRT, AND TO MIMINISE THE PORES. ONCE EVERY THREE DAYS, MASSAGE YOUR FACE AFTER USING A CLEANSER — THIS WILL EXFOLIATE AND TIGHTEN THE SKIN, AND PREVENT YOUR COMPLEXION FROM LOOKING DULL.

BRAIDS Braids are a classic protective hairstyle. Forever on-trend, it’s convenience that has us sold as you can just tie them up in a bun, and you’re good to go. The trick is to maintain the sheen of the fibre and moisturising your scalp. Bomzi Lekgoro, Hairstylist – Wash your braids once every second week. – Base your scalp regularly with hair food. – Don’t pull the braids too tightly to protect the hairline. – Don’t keep your braids for longer than six weeks, as that will result in them breaking. TIP: Show the hairline some love by basing it with an essential oil, and hydrating the scalp with a moisturising spray. CORNROWS Cornrows are a neat hairstyle – no wonder it’s the preferred style for moms with school-going kids.…

When I started out in the industry, I really enjoyed watching myself on TV. Now, not so much. The more I grow, the more pressure I put on myself. I’ve been so blessed to portray different characters, so now I’m unable to watch myself on TV while getting into someone else’s skin. It’s a weird state, but that’s how it is. I have to be as authentic as possible when telling stories. There’s more to acting than just being on TV. As actors, we have to be the truest mirrors, because if what I portray is misconstrued, then whoever resonates with that story won’t see themselves. I usually choose projects with a storyline that speaks to me, and where I’m able to find my voice within it. I praise my…

1. Be observant of and hone the strengths of others. If you continue to tell people how great they are, they’ll become the best they can be. 2. I’m the type of leader who encourages others, because I feel that, as black people, we have a confidence complex. Maybe it’s due to how we were brought up, but we don’t always believe we have something to offer. 3. Don’t be scared to refer others or to give opportunities. I will always refer someone if I can’t do the job or if I feel someone else is better suited. You don’t have to say ‘yes’ to everything that comes your way. 4. There’s enough room for everyone and the pie is big enough for all of us. Like Stephen R. Covey,…

“Oh, snap! Seems like I left my purse at home and only have R300 on me. I guess I’ll have to limit my order to this amount.” “I have a pressing work deadline for tomorrow morning, but couldn’t miss this session for anything! I’m here now but will need to duck out early to finalise things. I’ve asked to have a separate bill.” “Ladies, you’re all aware of the weight loss challenge we have at work, right? Well, the weigh-in is this Friday and chances of winning this are pretty high. So, I’ll be having a very light meal this evening and it’s only fair that I contribute towards this.” “I had a very big lunch and feel like I’m about to explode. But you know me, I can’t deny…

Exhibit A: “Yes, my favourite colour is purple. Did I mention that I wasn’t breastfed as a child? Now I’ve got unresolved abandonment issues.” Imagine you were seated at the next table. You see the shock and embarrassment creep into Romeo’s date’s eyes as she realises he’s not kidding. A heavy sip of wine follows. “Oh, that’s, ahem, interesting,” she murmurs, before glancing at the clock. Radically honest conversation on a dinner date is not what it’s cracked up to be. As far as wholesome dating myths go, “honesty is the best policy,” is commonly captioned, yet seldomly adhered to. In reality, relative honesty gets us into even trickier corners. A quick scan of Twitter, Instagram or Facebook reveals a deep seated sense of distrust, and a raging fear of…

Keep the bedroom cool to prevent night sweats. Reducing the temperature in a room, and the use of a fan while asleep, can be effective ways to help deal with troublesome hot flushes. Avoid drinking caffeine and alcohol at night. Avoid spicy foods. Take a warm bath or shower at bedtime to cool you down. Opt for natural foods rather than supplements. “For example, only crushed or ground forms of flaxseed are likely to help, as compared to the whole seed or seed oil forms,” Masemola adds.…

Anda Darling Sanda, 31 The entrepreneur and data analyst has taken her love for the Eastern Cape to another level. What drew you to Balloch in Barkly East? I had never heard of the place prior to my trip. Also, the cave camp area was under a huge overhang. What would you go back for? The spectacular and magical mountain scenery, hiking, canoeing, swimming under waterfalls and fly-fishing. Biggest epiphany? That I’m not alone in trying to turn this addiction to seeing the world into a career. Most surprising fact about the place? You can camp or stay in the cottages, and it’s perfect for 4x4 enthusiasts. Sbahle Kgobe, 39 A financial controller and blogger on her site, Let’s Get Lost In The World, shares what stole her heart. What…

From the “granny” tweed blazer and street-style pastel suit, to the Pretty Woman-inspired mini skirt ensemble, there are loads of options for you to experiment with. Take it a notch further by layering a tailored double-breasted coat over your outfit, or stay Insta-ready by belting the suit with the season’s waist bag. Better yet, throw a fitted blazer over a maxi dress for a modern take on the trend.…

If you have a signature puffer jacket or a sports luxe parka jacket then you can happily layer them over micro minis and delicate '90s-inspired prom dresses…

Beauty Editor's Tip: LET YOUR LIPS DO THE TALKING BY EMBRACING COLOUR-CLASHING METALLICS OR GLITTERING BRIGHTS. THIS SEASON’S TINTS AND GLOSSES COME IN VIVID CORALS, SILVERS AND VARYING SHADES OF DARK RED. FOR EXTRA STAYING POWER, PREP YOUR LIPS WITH A PRIMER TO KEEP THE LIPSTICK COLOUR IN PLACE ALL DAY LONG. AS BACKUP, TAP ON A TRANSLUCENT LOOSE POWDER IN-BETWEEN COATS. TRY: CLINIQUE POP LIQUID MATTE LIP COLOUR AND PRIMER PETAL POP R210 POUT PERFECTORS: 1. L’OREAL PARIS SUGAR SCRUB R159,95 2.

Our skin changes every day, and each season brings with it its own set of effects and challenges, which demand that we tweak our skincare regimen. Winter affects our skin in various ways — the air becomes drier, sucking the moisture out of your skin, which then leads to dryness and flakiness. To meet your skin halfway, stock up on products that deeply nourish, moisturise, protect and combat the harsh effects of the chill on your skin. CLEANSING South African winters can be very unforgiving — cold dry air, early morning subzero temperature and rain in some parts of the country. Indoor ventilation systems, including central heating, reduce moisture levels in the air, which affects the skin. This includes breakouts, as there’s a layer of dead cells on the skin’s…

If my childhood had a smell, it’d be that of the rain. It’s something a lot of people, especially farmers, look forward to. Yet, rain can cause floods, which destroy people’s lives. I see rain as a balance between good and bad, much like my childhood. While I have a lot of good memories with my family, there were also some unpleasant moments brought on by poverty. I regret not learning how to save money when I was younger. I spent cash on meaningless things because I didn’t understand the value of saving. Had I started putting money away from as early as high school, I’d probably be a millionaire by now! I’ve come to realise that there’s no life formula — we are all doing the best we can.…

Update your background. Avoid using the standard LinkedIn background. Doing this will help your brand stand out. Add a professional headshot photo. Hello friendlier profile! Include an enticing heading. A headline is an opportunity to differentiate yourself from the pack. Update your professional summary. You only have a few seconds to make an impression on recruiters and prospective employers. Summarise what you specialise in, what benefit you can offer companies and why they should make contact with you. Remember the 4 Cs: Connect – Follow people who will motivate and inspire you. Collaborate – Engage, comment, and share your thoughts. Community – Support others, share encouragement, and connect with your network. Consistency – Keep posting and engaging.…

It’s the end of a delectable dinner date with your girlfriends – whether it be a monthly tradition, or a long overdue catch-up – that was filled with great conversation, a chorus of laughter and popping sounds of champopo to add that much needed sparkle to the night. Then these words, “please find the bill”, sets off alarm bells. Frowns of concern follow — how will this bill be settled? Do we split it evenly or is it a situation of ‘each to her own’? What is the decent thing to do, considering our varying financial muscles as girlfriends, the tight financial climate affecting us all in different ways, and, most importantly, the tension that money can create between friends? A FRIENDSHIP TRANSACTION Money does tend to create tension between…

The world of make-believe usually paints a very gloomy picture of correctional centres. Visiting the Johannesburg Female Correctional Centre to spend a day with some of the women who aren’t only serving time, but are also raising their babies inside prison, was an eye-opener. As you walk in, you’re welcomed by a view of women, clad in their stylishly designed prison uniform, chatting away, cleaning and some at the in-house salon. The rest remain behind the solid doors. The setup can be a tad intimidating at first, but that isn’t the case at the section reserved for mothers and babies. Even though the walls are brightly-painted and the babies make their warm presence felt, the bars and high walls are a clear reminder that this is no ordinary nursery. TUMI…

Nokwanda Mkhwanazi , 28, Psychology Student, Chef, and owner of Viand Concepts “I don’t recall using sex to bargain for anything material. I can’t identify with women who (not that I judge them) seem to readily exchange sex for a night out on the town. It’s outdated to think that any sexual act can still be used as a noose to control a significant partner – people abandon their relationships for far less intrusive reasons these days. I can condone the little light-hearted bargains because they can potentially be used to spice things up, and create silly incentives for partners to submit to carrying out mundane tasks, like washing the dishes before a certain time in return for a non-refundable pleasure certificate, for example. I think they’re meant to be…

What are your earliest food memories? I grew up in Protea North, Soweto, where my mom would wake up around 3 am to prepare a big spread of food for our visitors. She's a master at preparing delicious meals using very few ingredients. Do you have a culinary qualification? No, I did a diploma in Media Studies, and went on to work as an account manager in advertising for about seven years. As a means of escapism, I started my experimental catering company, Food I Love You. Which chefs do you look up to in the food industry? My good friend Lara Meter of Food Goddess, and Iranian chef Sabrina Ghayour. I have a bias towards female chefs — they really know how to pour their hearts into food. What's…

The winter colour that dominated catwalks the world over has to be brown — think rust, camel and copper. Lift the hue by pairing it with cool blues, or add interest by layering it in varying textures such as chunky knits, leather, tortoise shell and plaids.…

The "Africa Your Time Is Now" tee has really taken on a life of its own. How does that make you feel? It's the most humbling and rewarding feeling. There’s just no getting used to it. What were your original intentions when designing this range? It was for every person who is African — whether by birth or state of mind — to be exposed to this powerful truth. To draw the continent’s, and ultimately, the world’s attention to Africa’s immense potential. The campaign is a reawakening and recalibration of the spirit of African influence. It's about how all of us have the power, and it all begins with me and you. The slogan is a reminder that we don’t need external validation from others for us to believe in…

Beauty Editor’s Tip: THE BEST WAY TO CREATE A MORE INTENSE, DRAMATIC EYE IS TO USE A PRIMER, WHITE EYE PENCIL, AND THEN LAYER THE EYESHADOW. PRIMERS MAKE THE PRODUCT STAY LONGER AND THE COLOUR STAND OUT. ALSO, PRIMERS WON'T AFFECT THE NATURAL PIGMENTATION OF YOUR EYELID. WHITE EYE PENCILS HELP TO INTENSIFY YOUR PREFERRED COLOUR. DRAW THE ENTIRE EYELID USING THE PENCIL, AND SPREAD IT EVENLY USING A BRUSH OR YOUR FINGER TO CREATE A BASE. THEN, TOP IT OFF WITH SOME EYESHADOW. LAYERING THE SAME HUE OR CLASHING TWO DIFFERENT SHADES WILL ENSURE THAT YOUR EYES POP EVEN MORE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. TRY: URBAN DECAY EYESHADOW PRIMER POTION R335 EYE ENHANCERS: 1. LANCÔME MONSIEUR BIG BROW R330 2. CATRICE UNDER EYE PRIMER R69,95 3. INGLOT MAKEUP BRUSH R269…

LEBOHANG MOSIA Age: 35 Occupation: Self-employed Lebogang describes herself as a fun-loving mother of two boys, Thato and Tumelo, and enjoys going out. “My style is very casual — you will mostly find me in jeans and All Stars. I requested this makeover so I could step out of my comfort zone,” she says. MAKE-UP Lebohang had sunburn marks on her face, especially around the eyes, which make-up artist Faith Seuoe concealed before applying make-up. “I then used foundation with very good coverage. To achieve a natural look, I focused on her cheeks, eyes and lips, gave her brows subtle definition, and added eyelashes,” Seuoe explains. HAIR “This hairstyle was inspired by the classic Benny & Betty look. I made it different by simply adding a big bun at the…

“I no longer hold back, nor do I doubt myself. Before, I was the queen of self-doubt.” “You’re very tall!” exclaims TRUE LOVE’s editor when Generations: The Legacy actress Zoe Mthiyane joins our styling team in the kitchen at Gallery Momo, Parktown — our May cover shoot venue. A very graceful Zoe, who, in fact, has the aura of someone who attended finishing school, coyly admits that she gets that a lot. “It doesn’t irk me at all when people comment on my height because I understand that we look different on TV,” she explains briefly, before being taken through the day’s outfit options. Also, at 1,75 metres, with a perfectly chiselled face, you’d assume that she’s had a tenure as a model. That isn’t the case, she says. “Most…

DR ESTHER ROCKSON, 33, Obstetrician-Gynaecologist Inspired by: I’m a nurturer by birth, and being an obstetrician-gynaecologist complements that as it helps me when reassuring those patients who walk in apprehensive. As a result, my patient-doctor consultations aren’t typical — they’re very conversational. I’ve wanted to be a doctor from as early as Grade 7. My very first inspiration was my sister’s paediatrician. I loved how graceful she was, and how special and safe she made her patients feel. I opted for gynaecology because I wanted to understand my body better. Career highlights: Completing my post grad in record time and getting a distinction in my oral exam. Another highlight was obtaining a diploma in cosmetic gynaecology at a Polish university. The aim was to treat women’s problems that we, in…

Be certain of the identity of the person your business is dealing with. Set up designated ‘Single Points of Contact’ with companies to which you make regular payments. Instruct staff responsible for paying invoices to scrutinise invoices for irregularities and escalate suspicions. Register for your bank’s cell phone notification service and receive messages relating to transactions on your accounts as and when they occur. If the amount of cash you’re depositing is increasing as your business grows, use the services of a cash management company. Protect your company with robust firewall and install antivirus software.…

The world of business is a tough one to navigate, but Lindiwe Nakedi has proven to be tougher. A Wits University Industrial Psychology graduate, with a background in recruitment, she soon realised that that career path didn’t resonate with her at all. The mining sector turned out to be the perfect fit, and she hasn’t looked back since joining the industry more than 10 years ago. “I love working with people, which is why my first venture was in recruitment. I started a business, called People Shop, in 2005. It was about more than just finding people jobs, but connecting job seekers with the right companies. The downside was that I only made money once someone had been placed in a job. I decided to change fields,” Nakedi reflects. The…

Splitwise: This allows you to either divide the bill evenly or unevenly — based on the group’s agreement — taking into account the percentage of the tip the group is comfortable with. If one person decides to pay for the entire bill with the confidence of recouping each friend’s share later, the app is able to send separate emails to each friend detailing their share of the bill. Try it out and share your experience, with us, on our social media platforms.…

The Bible tells the story of two prostitutes who came to King Solomon for a ruling. One woman told how they were living alone, in the same house, and both had sons within three days of each other. But one night, one of the mothers lay on her baby by mistake, and it died. When the mother of the dead baby realised her son was dead, she swapped him for the baby that was still alive. When the mother of the living baby awoke in the middle of the night to feed her son, she discovered he was dead. But in the morning, she discovered the dead baby was not her son, but that the other woman had swapped the two. They now stood before the king arguing over which…

Jumping into a relationship: You do so wholeheartedly, without first giving your attachment a chance to grow, and getting to know the other person thoroughly. Moving in prematurely: A person’s true character mostly surfaces after the “honeymoon” phase. Don’t find yourself in trouble when you’re knee-deep into the vat & sit. Projecting your desires onto the partner: When two people enter a new relationship, they have individual goals and desires, and should give each other space to explore them. They should support each other. A new relationship should never be one-sided, and communication is key.…

“I was born into a world that robbed me of a relationship with my mother when I was 18 months old, and grew up through the trials of life that saw me become a single mother in my youth. I was declared dead three times after surviving a car accident that literally rearranged my entire life. Today, I can proudly attest to having proven science wrong. “If I could ask God for one special favour, it’d be to spend just one moment with my mom. And if that’s too tall an order, I’d ask for at least one memory.” I soon learnt that losing my mother at a tender age would be the opposite of ‘the gift that keeps on giving’. Every birthday, hardship encountered, milestone celebrated, as well as…

1. Question if it’s a functional habit. This will determine how successful you are at giving something up. If it’s a harmless ritual, then there’s nothing to worry about. However, if it’s dysfunctional, then you might need professional help. 2. The decision to quit must come from you. When you choose to live without something that you usually depend on, you make yourself responsible for your actions. 3. Get an accountability partner. Find someone you can confide in and turn to for moral support. This person will cheer you on when you find it challenging to carry on. 4. Find out the benefits of giving up something. You must know the reason behind doing something, and what you will gain or learn should you give it up. 5. Search for…

Hot flushes: It’s estimated that about 80% of women suffer from these bursts of body heat, accompanied by sweating that last for 5-10 minutes, at any time of the day or night. Affected areas include the scalp, face, chest and neck. Hot flushes may end with menopause or continue for a few months or years after. Vaginal dryness: Decreased oestrogen levels make the vaginal tissue thinner and drier, causing irritation, itchiness and painful intercourse, which lowers your libido. This dryness also often leads to recurrent vaginal thrush or candida fungal infections. Uterine bleeding: Less progesterone means the uterine lining becomes thicker, causing heavier periods. Lack of sleep: Some women complain about sleep disturbances due to night sweats and general hormonal balance. Mood swings: Many studies link the lack of oestrogen…
