I’ve always subscribed to the ‘black don’t crack’ philosophy – boasting my melanin, oily skin and full cheeks as my artillery. As the years go by, I find myself noticing things I’ve never had a problem with before. I stare for endless hours at enlarged pores, sunspots, uneven skin tone… it literally feels like gravity is slowly pulling at my skin and I can’t stand it! All I can picture is a little pull at the nape, maybe fillers for my laugh lines and oh definitely something to boost my skin’s luminosity, LOL. Our Special Report on page 86 gives you a starting point — if you choose to go this route — with guidelines for the types of procedures you can do, what to look out for and signs…

There’s nothing more attractive than beautiful hair spreading a sweet perfume. Hair scent inspiration was seen on models with flower-crowned hair walking down the runway at the Valentino Paris Fashion Week and Rodarte Spring Collection shows. Product build-up and neglecting your hair, and scalp, can lead to bad odour. A consistent shampoo and conditioner regimen will instantly purify oily roots and hydrate dry hair, leaving it clean and soft. Care for your crown by using products with long-lasting scents and natural oils such as shea butter, coconut oil and lavender. Protective styles like braids and cornrows should also be revived using refresher spray or hair mist, as dandruff and oils can get trapped in between the hair. HOW TO MAKE YOUR CROWN SMELL GOOD ALL DAY 1. There are specific…

ZIZIPHO MQINGWANA Age: 23 Occupation: Multimedia Journalist “I was bored with my usual look and wanted to switch up my style from girl-next-door to a more corporate, yet sexy, look,” Zizipho says. HAIR “Zizipho usually has her hair in cornrows. She wanted a complete change and to look glamorous and sexy. I knew a 28-inch weave would be best. We moisturised her cornrows so that her hair would be neat and healthy underneath the wig. I added shine to make the weave sleek with weave hair juice, then straightened it. We finished off the look by applying an anti-frizz hair spray for a smooth, silky finish,” says hairstylist and owner of Love Your Crown Luxury Wigs, Thandiwe Nkoana. MAKE-UP “Zizipho doesn’t wear make-up, so I wanted to give her a…

Locally, the Portia M brand has become synonymous with affordable skincare. Its founder, Portia Mngomezulu, had humble beginnings in Phalaborwa, Limpopo, living with her maternal grandmother. “I come from a family of matriarchs who were self-employed and constantly teaching me that I could be my own boss and build something for myself,” she enthuses. THE BIRTH OF AN ENTREPRENEUR Portia will always call Limpopo home, even though she moved to Kriel in Mpumalanga to stay with her parents at the age of eight. As a teen, she would take the scraps of material left over from her seamstress mother’s creations and make decorative cushions to sell or plait people’s hair. “I started earning money quite early because I’m creative and good with my hands,” she explains. The eldest of three…

If you commit suicide within two years of the starting date of your policy benefits. There was intentional or grossly negligent self-inflicted injury. If you take part in war, terrorism, invasion, seizing of power, overthrowing or influencing any government by force. If the client is convicted of acrime. If you die as a result of a pre-existing medical condition. “You won’t get a pay-out if you die from diabetes, high blood pressure or HIV and you didn’t disclose this upfront. If you get the disease during the course of your contract, you need to make this known to your service provider. Read and understand your policy schedule or contract as it lists these diseases,” Nxele cautions. If your payments are not up to date. Finally, it’s your job to notify…

Budgeting. Draw up a budget that reflects your income and expenditure. Ensure that the essentials that need to be paid monthly are first on the list, followed by less crucial payments. Pay off unhealthy debts. You need to pay off the short-term debts that have high interest rates, such as clothing accounts and short-term loans. Paying off these debts will free up some cash in your budget. High interest accounts wreak havoc on your finances, so learn this well: if you can’t afford to pay for it in cash, you can’t afford it at all. Don’t take out debt to buy food and to finance your living expenses! Save for the future. It’s a good idea to cultivate discipline around saving for the future. Planning ahead means being prepared for…

Right at the top of ‘male talk’ topics that get most women’s tongues wagging is cheating, followed closely by small penises. In my mid-twenties, I recall a friend relaying — quite frantically and disappointingly — how she felt cheated because her new boyfriend’s penis was “literally the size of a button mushroom!” Ewu, kodwa we are ruthless yazi! “Does he understand how much effort it takes to get undressed? If only it was possible for women to demand their sex back,” she continued, her blood pressure seemingly rising with each recollection of the night’s details. Women often go on about small penises as though finding a well-endowed dude is the equivalent of finally reaching the promised land. That, unfortunately, isn’t always the case. Some guys think packing large is all…

“I was born in Centane in the Eastern Cape, but we moved to Bloemfontein as a family when my father found a job there. From when I was seven, Bloem became a home to myself, two sisters, brother and our parents. My father provided for us and we were happy there. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2009 during my gap year in the Eastern Cape — I was living with my grandmother at the time. His passing changed everything for our family. My mom tried her best to raise us alone. She pushed for me to get an education and I registered at Motheo TVET College to study electrical engineering in 2010. However, I fell pregnant with my daughter in my first year of study but continued with my studies…

Drink 2 to 2,5 litres of water every day. Low water intake is linked to weight gain as your calorie intake is higher when consuming less water Even being 5% dehydrated significantly reduces energy levels, spikes cravings and slows metabolism. Drinking water with meals helps minimise portion size. Eat smaller and frequent meals to keep blood sugar stable and avoid cravings and overeating with constant energy and boosting metabolism. Eat breakfast within an hour of waking up daily. You must eat every three hours. This keeps the metabolism healthy and supplies regular energy to the body. Set reminders if you often forget, or get a colleague to remind you. Plan meals ahead of time. Make extra food during the weekend or evening to take for lunch during the week. Eat…

What's your favourite childhood food memory? Pap with chicken feet and heads (aka walkie talkies). I grew up in a big family and my grandmother would always make me choose between the two. If you were to open a restaurant, what kind of cuisine would you serve? Unique and delicious South African cuisine. What drives you the most? The kitchen is usually very hot, but passion drives me. I’m learning to be motivated and flexible at all times. After a long day in the kitchen, what's your go-to meal and drink? Something very quick to prepare like chicken or fish and, of course, some good red wine. What are some of your food-related guilty pleasures? It’s definitely junk food, specifically fries and Coca Cola. What's your ideal romantic dinner? Medium-rare…

The veteran singer, songwriter and actress has been part of the entertainment industry for four decades. You can catch her on the new Netflix original drama, Queen Sono. “For me, music is a very special thing. Because of how close I hold music and art to my heart, I don’t have a specific song or songs that I like. Instead, I love any song and genre that makes sense to me and my heart, considering the artist that I am. Instead of a favourite song, my favourite genres are country music, ballads, blues, African music and jazz. I’m emotional and very sensitive and that’s why I like music that touches my soul and takes me somewhere I have been, haven’t been and where I’m yet to go.”…

Minenhle Dlamini Jones confidently struts into the TRUE LOVE offices, looking like someone on a serious mission. Her black tailored jumpsuit, designer shades and red bottoms (Minnie’s signature look) scream success. We’ve set the day aside to “pitch” — for lack of a better word — the visual direction for her third TRUE LOVE cover. The visual direction being the team (photographer, make-up artist, hairstylist), the styling, as well as the message we’re trying to convey to our readers and Minnie’s fans. The meeting starts off a little shaky as the fashion team pull out their mood boards in an attempt to get Minnie’s buy-in. Let’s just say, they didn’t pass! Minnie, breaks into a clear monologue of her vision to pull off a cover that would rival any Vogue…

One of my biggest career highlights was releasing songs through my record label, Assali Music, in 2019. That has always been my top priority. As for 2020, I’m excited to release my first full-length album through my label. I haven’t come up with the title yet. I’m also in the process of buying the master rights to my music from my previous record label for songs like Thandolwethu, meaning I’m going to be owning my songs. I entered the 2020 decade feeling very empowered. I wake up every day and do me because the ball is in my court. I’ve never been employed by someone else — I’ve always worked for myself. But one horror story that comes to mind is that of a gig I once did. Because I…

How many life covers can one have? As many as you can afford ,but there must be justifiable reasons. Other insurers have life covers with additional benefits like the educator plan. You can have two life covers – one to pay off debts, and the other for your estate shortfalls and to cover your children’s education. This will be part of your discussion with your financial advisor or broker. How long does life cover take to pay out? It can take a minimum of four days if everything is in order. What are loadings and exclusions? Exclusions are risks or events that an insurer will not cover or that may prevent a claim being paid out. Aloading is an additional charge to your insurance policy premium due to a greater…

These positions will have you enjoying sex with a large-packer. Plus, they aren’t at all laborious! Cherry On Top: Get him to enter you from behind, then lie on top of him with your back facing his chest. This angle, though awkward, will keep him from hitting you too deep but will still reach all the pleasure spots! The Flying V: Get him to kneel and find something lower to balance yourself on. Him entering you from a downward angle will prevent him from going too deeply. The Thigh-High Straddle: Get him to sit cross-legged on the bed, then ride him, using his slightly elevated thighs to support your behind.…

How to know when you’ve gone from wanting to be beautiful to a botched TV episode 1. It’s natural to want to improve a certain part of your body or face, but having unrealistic expectations leading to multiple surgeries is always a red flag. Plastic surgery can enhance or correct certain things but it is by no means a magical wand. 2. An underlying cause of plastic surgery addiction is body dysmorphia, a disorder where sufferers obsessively think about their appearance, focusing only on their perceived negative features. Fortunately, most plastic surgeons can recognise the symptoms and refer patients for cognitive behavioural therapy which has proven to be very effective in treating both plastic surgery addiction and body dysmorphic disorder. 3. Constantly looking for new doctors after being turned down…

If you notice several of these common signs of intestinal worms, especially in a child, have them dewormed. If the child is sickly, see your healthcare provider straightaway. Swollen, bloated stomach Stomach pain Constipation Diarrhoea Increase in appetite without weight gain (worms take the nutrients you consume) Loss of appetite (due to nausea) Itchy bottom and scratching Anaemia (fatigue, weakness, pale skin and eyes, chest pain, headache, shortness of breath) Unexplained coughing Fever General feeling of being unwell. It’s advisable for parents to inspect the toilet after their child has passed a stool – says Broughton – few realise that some worms can be seen with the naked eye.…

It may be hard to leave a home reflecting this ambiance, but always a sheer pleasure to return to. “THE HOME OF THE FUTURE IS ALL ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY, ENERGY-EFFICIENT DESIGN, AN EXPRESSION OF THE INDIVIDUAL, AND A HOTBED OF CREATIVITY AND INSPIRATION.”– AMANDA TALBOT, INTERIOR DESIGN EXPERT AND AUTHOR OF RETHINK: THE WAY YOU LIVE…

Bringing the Poppie story to life wasn’t easy. Fictional stories are abit easier to portray than a true story of someone who lived. We all know the history of our country, which made it a bittersweet experience. I agreed to play Poppie because I loved her story of strength and resilience. For years, I’ve wanted to play her and it finally happened. I believe that all women are Poppies in their own stories, where they fight their own battles in their own ways. There are women fighting domestic violence, while others are fighting for a place in the workplace. Funny thing is, I didn’t have to learn to speak Afrikaans for the role because my grandmother is an Afrikaans-speaking woman born and raised in Cape Town. My mother also spoke…

For those who don’t know Anisa Mpungwe, tell us about yourself ? I’m a designer from Tanzania and I’ve been in the fashion and lifestyle industry for over 12 years. I come from a family of diplomat parents and two creative siblings – one is a chef and the other is an architect. How do you keep up with the latest trends? I believe that if I want to remain in business, I need to always understand the industry I’m in and what’s happening abroad. Everything tends to influence purchasing power, so for me, reading on what is happening in the markets – from trends to why China said no more to buying plastic – is very important. Was there a rookie mistake you made when you were starting out?…

SKIN LIGHTENING This is not to be confused with skin bleaching or whitening. What it does: Skin lightening reduces pigmentation, removes discolouration, and evens out the complexion through products or procedures only. The products target particular areas like age spots and hyperpigmentation from acne breakouts and bruising. How it works: Lightening creams work to reduce the melanin pigmentation in a particular area on the skin and are best used for a short period of time. “As we age, the skin turnover slows down, cells are not shed quickly enough and they create a dull appearance, together with sun damage and stress,” says Dr Portia Gumede known as Dr P, owner and dermatologist at Dr P Aesthetic Lifestyle Centre. Ingredients: Products mostly contain hydroquinone, Kojic acid, Vitamin C and retinol. Some…

You hold a Master’s in Economics, yet here you are making big moves in the media. How did you get here? My transition from economics to media didn’t happen overnight. I wrote for a digital title, Aliyana Magazine, for some time before moving on to the Daily Maverick in 2015. This was a few years after I had completed my studies, and working as the Economic Justice Programme Manager for Oxfam South Africa. Briefly tell us about your move to Power FM. I had just started my own business when Power FM’s chairperson, Given Mkhari, called asking if I’d ever considered radio. Luckily, I wasn’t tied down by a nine-to-five. Radio allowed me to use the insights I’d gathered to influence public discourse at a systemic level, as well as…

What’s the most amazing place you’ve been? Victoria Falls. What do you think you do better than 90% of people? I genuinely think I treat people fairly. What’s the oldest thing you own? My first guitar, I got it in 2009. I’d probably have much older things than that but because I moved around a lot, I had to let go of some of them. Would you want the ability to hear the secrets of people closest to you? No, no, no. NEVER! Sometimes I think I’m pretty judgemental. If your fans were to remember one thing about you, what would you like it to be? It would be my passion for music. What songs do you sing along to, even if you don’t know all the lyrics? Cardi B’s…

I grudgingly accepted the challenge because I knew that at some point I’d have to stop spending my money like I’m spinning out of control, when I’m actually not. If my bank card could cry every time I pull it out, it would — without a shadow of doubt — cry for help [chuckles]! A part of me blames my dad for this because I think I inherited this spending habit from him. My dad goes into the shop to get one item and walks out with 10. I always thought it was funny, but little did I know that I’d turn out just like him. I remember this one instance where he had a sore throat and said he wanted to make a quick stop at Dis-Chem to get…

“A guy I dated in my mid-20s had a thick and long penis but couldn’t use it to save his life — what a waste [insert crying face emoticon here!] Instead of gyrating with his waist and bum, he would move his shoulders. Thinking he was nervous the first time around, I gave him a chance to redeem himself but the pleasure stakes remained painfully low. His strokes were always one-sided and he came quickly both times. Let’s just say I stopped picking up his calls.” * Sibongile Ntombela, Business Intelligence Officer “I dated a guy with a larger-than-average ‘D’. It was always visibly outlined through the pants, so you can imagine how eager I was for us to jump in the sack. The experience was anything but amazing —…

These are the trends to look out for: 1. 3D facelift. This newest update that transfers fat from the lower portion of the face to the cheeks to add volume. A 3D facelift is done under local anesthesia and doesn’t give you the “pulled back” look of other facelifts, making it a great alternative for those who want a youthful appearance without going under the knife. 2.More options for men’s personal care products. Many companies now have gender-neutral makeup lines. 3. Subtle, more natural look. Some people prefer enhancements rather than a complete overhaul of their face and body, and get a little bit of work done instead of drastic changes. 4. Sagging skin is now treated with non-invasive procedures — such as ultrasound and radio-frequency treatments to shrink the…

Whether you’re #Team5 am or just trying your best to pack a healthy lunch, make the gym, go to meetings, juggle being a mom and look cute while doing it, healthy living is a lifestyle that can be unforgiving at times. For instance, at the start of your fitness journey, the results were almost effortless but now progress seems like a far-fetched dream. The scale refuses to budge even though you’ve been diligent about everything. Frustrating as it can be, a fitness plateau is just a speed hump on your road to becoming as fit as fiddle. Moloko Mehlape, a Centurion-based dietitian with a special interest in weight and chronic disease management, says aplateau effect is mostly common in people who use are into fad diets. “That doesn’t only result…

OLWETHU LESHABANE, 29 The host of Mzansi Magic’s Oh Baby, marketing and communications specialist, wife and mom of three boys loves travelling as it allows her to explore her adventurous side. With every trip, Olwethu feels as though every bit of her is unpacked and reassembled. A great romantic destination? After Paris, definitely the Victoria Falls. What was memorable about the trip? A great stay at the Victoria Falls Hotel, just a walk from the falls themselves; then a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River paired with a romantic dinner. Go for an early morning safari ride, enjoy a high tea overlooking the hotel garden (swap the tea for a G&T for some extra fun), or watch the trains toot over the Victoria Falls bridge while reading a good book.…
