Her Lief
I recently posted a request for local businesses to contact me if they would like me to do a feature on them. I didn’t expect many messages to be honest, but the first I got was from Her Lief. I immediately went over to her page, & began looking at her images as well as […]
Chalmar Beef
Last week Thursday I was invited to attend Chalmar Beef’s 50th Milestone Celebration in Bapsfontein. They were hosting an auction with beef from 45 selected animals, that had been fed for longer – whole carcasses as well as individual cuts of meat were auctioned & I was super excited to see how this all worked! The […]
Minimal Creations
I am always on the hunt for South African artists that make me smile, & that I would love to have a piece of their artwork hanging up in my house. You may remember my blog about Charlie Loves (one of my favourite of all time), & when I saw that Minimal Creations had done […]
O’Nutricia Collagen
Collagen has been a vital in my diet ever since my transplant – I wish I could say for longer, but I never appreciated the benefits until I really needed it. And boy oh boy did I see the results! It helped my skin get firmer & my stretchmarks to fade; my hair & nails […]

You could sense the emotion behind the illustration & it just immediately made me smile. I reached out to Nicci straight away & asked if […]
Maria Cosmetics
I had heard the hype, I had tried the lipstick for myself, & then I watched this YouTube video about where the thought for Maria Cosmetics came from… After I had brushed away my tears & taken a few deep breaths, I immediately reached out to Andrea to chat about this beautiful business. Your name: […]
Lisa Ternent Art
A friend recently shared a post on Facebook, & this was about the beautiful Lisa Ternent & her amazing art. In case you don’t know, I collect various family portraits from different artists & I was immediately drawn to Lisa’s talent & unique images! I popped her a mail asking if I could write a […]

Even if you are not directly part of the Rare Disease Community, I am sure that you have heard of Jenna Lowe. Perhaps you were even lucky enough to meet this young lady. Maybe you have visited her website, & became an organ donor when you heard from someone waiting for her lungs how dire […]
