BUY LiFe

About BUY LiFe:

There is a profound difference between living and life. Living may extend time for another day. But life is far more than sleeping and waking. Life is more than merely existing. And, although it would be easier, life cannot be bought in a pill.That is why Keep A Child Alive buys more than just the pills needed to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. It buys the essential nutrition, shelter, support and education to help ensure those pills are taken properly and effectively. It buys the things we all take for granted, but that make all the difference. A bed. A roof. A ride. A book. A smile. KCA offers children, their families and entire communities a shoulder to lean on and a heart that beats for them. Because KCA believes we can do something far bigger and better than buy the ability to live. We can buy the dignity that is life. We can buy compassion. Buy love. Buy the cure. Buy life. Because the more you buy, the more you save. KEEP A CHILD ALIVE.

This is what you can do to support the fight against HIV/AIDS:

It’s the one purchase nobody can live without. It’s Life. When you buy life, you give life to millions of people affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India by providing the medicine, food and shelter needed to fight this awful disease.
Whenever you see a “BUY LIFE” bar code, simply scan it using Stickybits or WiMO and instantly make the purchase of a lifetime.
You can also purchase a fully scannable “BUY LIFE” t-shirt and invite others to buy life wherever you go. This shirt not only looks good, but every scan does the world good.

Below are some of the celebs that support this cause.
 

Victoria Beckham

Despite all that is said in the tabloids about her, I still love Victoria Beckham! She has such a great sense of style and am pretty sure she is the brains behind the Beckham brand. Below are pic from a photo shoot that she did with Marie Claire magazine, I love it when she defies the image that the media have portrayed of her. 

The Oyster Box Hotel

This hotel has to be one of the most breathtaking in South Africa right at the waters edge of Umhlanga. It is a visual feast and I hope that one day I would be able to afford to book myself into such luxury.. *deep sigh*

Woolies Shoes

How hot are these Woolies shoes?
I was in Sandton City this past weekend and left drooling at the new edgy, on-trend, super hot Woolies shoes collection and it's not even that expensive. The W store is bringing their A-game on and I hope all the other retailers are watching their backs *sizzling*

Willow Smith - Whip My Hair

After watching The Karate Kid movie and the Smith family on Oprah, I am obsessed with their success! The new sensation is Willow Smith, the 9 year old daughter of Will & Jada Smith who has her own new song under Jay-Z's record label called 'Whip my Hair' (it's my ringtone)! The song is so catchy and most hip-hop DJ's are adding it to their playlists for the club scenes. I love it and I also think she sounds like Rihanna but becasue she is a kid, it's probably part of her experimentation phase and can only be an indication of well her voice will mature. 

I love love the music video! 

I'll be back

It's been so long since I last blogged :(
Been so busy!! And will be back soonest :)

Allora

For date night last week, the beau and I went to Allora for the first time. They are located in the 24 Central Area in Sandton, next to News Cafe and Taboo night club. I am definately going back there for the following reasons:

•  delicious food - they are not stingy with their portions which guarantees a doggy bag and lunch for the next day, their pasta dishes are delicious and the range of the food on the menu really does leave you baffled on what to choose
• relaxed ambiance 
• awesome service - I am a fussy eater and the waiter was more than willing to explore various different ways in which I wanted my food, he also didn't make his presence felt around us but was always available when we needed him. We were also greeted at the door by the manager and he was more than willing to allow us to change the tables we were sitting at, i was all smiles!
• accomodating - whther you're out with friends, boyfriend, family, they will accommodate you
• please check out their website below for further details.

Phum' Elaynini

The expose that you hear in the lyrics of this song, smh! I think we all know or have friends like the people that Slikour's is talking about which is the essential ingredient in what makes this song awesome! It's definitely a party starter and best to play in your car at full volume whilst bobbing your head :)

Fashion Evolution of the Gossip Girl Ladies

I am so totally in love with Gossip Girl, yes like years later! Anyways I was just checking out the fashion evolution of the stars of Gossip Girl from before the TV show started and post the TV show. All I can say is GG came along and helped these girls become the fashionista's whose clothes we lust after today.

PS: Looks like Taylor Momsen is still going through the evolution! 

Geneva

I recently had the opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful (and expensive) cities in the world, Geneva. It was a business trip which actually felt more like a holiday. I travelled with 2 other colleagues and once there we met up with 3 more colleagues and had such a lot of fun!

It was my first time experiencing a European SUMMER because the last time I was there it was in the middle of winter. Europe in summer is just beautiful (and a lot like Cape Town)..the sun only sets at 10pm, leaving ample time to explore the city in daylight. We really did explore almost every nook and cranny of Geneva and it's quite a small city with a rich history. We were lucky enough to also be visiting at the same time that the Geneva Festival was taking place and from the little that we experienced it was quite a spectacle. We visited the old Geneva city and I thought it was just stunning. It looked exactly like the movies, cobblestone roads, corner walkways everywhere, flower-filled balconies, apartments with huge doors and lots of corner restaurants.

The transport system also blew me away, we used the buses to travel around the city and we didn't pay for one single bus trip. The buses are super-efficient, they always arrive on time at the bus stops and are always clean! I shopped till my feet ached, there were sales everywhere!! Hello SUMMER SALES :) I was so happy that all the shops were on sale because the cost of living in Geneva is really expensive and so is everything else.

I am a person who loves chicken and was very disappointed to find that most of the restaurants were not serving chicken dishes because it is apparently not considered a premium dish :( We searched high and low and we eventually found a chicken restaurant and it was really worth it.

I really enjoyed my first European summer and look forward to another one, hopefully i will be on holiday and not working!
