I love Elle Varner! But, of course, you already knew that.She released the official video for the song Refill, off of her Conversational Lush mixtape, this past Tuesday.   I really like how she interpreted the lyrics. It’s more or less what I thought it would be like. Yes, I am one of those peopleContinue reading “Refill Official Video”

fun.‘s “We Are Young” has been on radio for a few weeks now, and I always feel like “tonight, we are young/ so let’s set the world on fire/ we can burn brighter than the sun” is the coolest, most inspiring line ever when Nate Ruess sings it.

Purely for the nostalgia of the days before the “romcom” formula became so terribly hackneyed, and for the the days when I thought it just could not get any better than one Mr Freddie Prinze Jr. I knew exactly how the story was going to play out, IContinue reading “Vices of A 90s Kid: Cheesy Romantic Movies”

I follow Mili Bongela’s blog, Miss Milli World, and last week she posted that she would be on a new CNN documentary, The Millenials.I watched the video clip this morning, and I felt a little more confident about having listed Mili Bongela as the person who inspires when I was completing a questionnaire a fewContinue reading “Inspiration: Women Making their Mark”

I recently discovered Rookie magazine, and I have enjoyed reading the irreverent pieces done by teenage girls for teenage girls about all the big Questions of Life.How to look like a rockstar, what cool music to listen to, how to survive a crush (complete with movie references) are all covered in this monthly online magazine.ThereContinue reading “Rookie Presents: How To Bitchface”

My dad, my sister and I had lunch at Carlton Centre last Saturday.There’s this really cool top floor gallery type of thing on the 50th floor. There are telescopes that let you zoom in on parts of Johannesburg that you could never see from the ground. This 360 degree view of the City of Gold,Continue reading “Lunch On Top”
