MPV.....my point of view!

10 Signs That He's Into You Oh my, have I fallen into the same trap of lists? Lists do make the world go round and that's why we are trying to make it onto at least one. My goal, Forbes. Cher once sang if you want to know if he loves you it's in his kiss. In a tète-â-tète with a male acquaintance, I shared that it's easy to tell if a guy is into you. More so, where you stand with him. Adding on, my male friends and relatives have stated the tell-tale signs of a king who's there to stay, or a jester who's out to play. Experience is a painful yet unforgettable teacher. Through the hard way, I have learnt not to fall. It's easy to get warped into an enamoured state when you least expect it. You need to guard your heart with the type of security that Alcatraz had. Nothing comes in, and it's hard for anything to go out - that thing is your heart and its affection. My collection of notes for 'To All the Boys that I Loved Before' author inclu...

It's day 27 of the winter blogging challenge. I am just counting down the days. This challenge has truly been a challenge. When I took up this challenge there were certain undesirable habits I wanted to break. My self esteem had been low when it came to my writing abilities. I needed something to prove myself. It's been a long month but there's no trial without a lesson 1. Don't procrastinate Life throws things at you that can pressure you to delay your passions. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak so you tell yourself, tomorrow. But what if tomorrow never comes and your greatest work was today? Through this challenge, I learnt to plan ahead. I told myself that it had to be done, right now, right here. 2. It gets harder before it gets better The first days of the challenge were quite a breeze. The topics were ice breakers, light hearted and fun. Then mid way it became gruelling. The topics needed insight, facts, objectivity etc. I understand that it...

Photos without captions are left for one's interpretation. A picture is worth a thousand words, some often left unsaid. As I flip through old photo albums, I read the stories told by each image. I'm by nature, nostalgic, and find peace in past time's paradise. But those photos show how far I have come. I see the journey to unlearning and healing. I see the map to self love. There are images of loved ones both living and deceased. Memories are affirmed by photos and below are the portraits of my life. 1. Photo with dad My middle name in Zulu loosely means 'daddy's girl'. Out of all my sisters, I cleaved to my father's hip. At 5 ft 2 in, my father was the figure that I looked up to. This photo resembles him carrying my life in his hands. I didn't have to face the world alone, daddy had me. 2. Photo of mum  My mother was and still is the most stylish woman that I know. If it weren't for traditional Shona customs, I would still have most ...

In these Zimbabwean brands I believe!   When we think of brands many think of logos or big names. But to me, a brand is defined by influence, excellence and to a larger extent, uniqueness. I am a fan of all brands African. As long as they are by an African and hold quality, I am sold. Today, I am here to endorse brands from here, in Zimbabwe. These are homegrown brands that by my definition of brands, are doing the most. Shout out to all the founders and innovators behind the brands that I'm about to mention below: 1. Craig Zoowie In my head, Craig Zoowie is my stylish best friend. (Putting this into the universe that we will be friends IRL). I love me some Craig Zoowie. Craig puts his touch to décor with excellence. He's like the fairy godmother who turns a pumpkin into a carriage. Every event that Craig handles, there's a touch of class. Of course, with his team at VIP Hosting, we can see why they are the most sought after event planners. Apart from making events lo...
