South African of the year awards

Myself and Nomuzi Mabena

Last night at the #PharrellWilliamsConcert

I beleive as a journalist you need to find your strength and your weaknesses in order to know where you are heading to.

I beleive I am an all rounder in journalism, I enjoy learning new things because it teaches me more than what I already know. When I got to YFM news I was asked what beat I would like to do and from the top of my head I went for current affairs and entertainment and so with entertainment I do features every friday and when there is something happening (an event) I got out and find a story.

Since I edit a lifestyle and entertainment magazine I am able to use those sources to get stories and it has been one thing that is so close to my heart. Entertainment is a little tricky- I mean celebrities aren't so easy to deal with besides the fact that it has to be a story that will interest people.


I got the opportunity to go the attend the Pharell Williams concert among other events I attend which are absolutely awesome!


My life as an entertainment reporter!

Confidence

I'm always talking about how I read news or do certain features but isn't it horrible that I have not even put a single podcast for you to hear the greatness I serve when I am on air?

Confidence is key but also remember that you don't have to pull other people down to show your confidence- it actually annoys me how people want to speak about how this one is so bad and they are the best. You need to remember that your only competition is yourself, learn to be better than you were yesterday- remember that in life you need to learn from your mistakes and also own up to your mistakes.

Going a little over board aren't I? Anyway if you want to hear my voice I'll have it for you in my next post keep checking them out.

Do you know your body shape?

Looking great is on every girl’s agenda, the only problem is when you don’t dress according to the shape of your body. To look great you need to wear something that really compliments your body. Speaking to fashion designer Danny Mdluli, he gave me three body types, which one are you?

·         Hourglass shape- “for women with this body, the bust and hip are approximately the same size, and the waist is narrow. This is the typical Beyoncé and JLo look”.

·         Pear Shaped figure- “Curvy hips, thick thighs, and a full bum are the key characteristics of the pear-shaped woman. Women who are Pear shaped are small up top and big down low”.

·         Rectangular body shape or the athletic shape- “These women are generally plank-like, they are the same size from bust waist and hips”

       Have you found your body type yet? Now that you know what your body shape/type is, wouldn’t it be even better to know what would look better on you, something that will complement your body? Don’t worry, I got you, well Danny and I. According to Danny:

·         Hourglass body shaped woman's focal point is their waist. Women with this body shape have to avoid wear bulky clothes as it will take away from their initial shape. Key items to have are figure belts, fitted jackets (keep to short jackets) and dresses that hug the body.

·         Pear shaped figure- women with this type of body shape need to balance out their shape by wearing darker coloured pants or skirts and wearing bright coloured/ printed tops to draw the attention away from their wide hips.

·         Rectangle/ athletic body shape- women who have this shape look sporty their bust waist and hips are similar in size. These women have a free range to play with. Fitted clothing that hugs the body. Wearing layered skirts make the hips look bigger and wider.

Whenever I see people who don’t look nice in an outfit I always assume that they don’t have a nice body, yet after speaking to Danny my opinion changed, a lot. According to (Dailymail, 2014) a study found nine in ten women didn’t know their body shape- with many mistakenly believing they have a wasp waist and hourglass curves. Don’t you wonder why guys prefer certain types of body shapes? Well according to www.psychologytoday.com men haven’t a clue about why they prefer certain body shapes or why their brains light up when they see narrow waists and well-rounded hips and thighs.

“The ideal body shape we as a nation consider as sexy would be the hourglass or 8 body shape, not saying other body shapes aren't sexy.  But with whatever body shape you have, dressing it up to be in proportion is crucial”, says Danny. Society demands a bit too much from ladies, but I totally agree with society when it comes to body shape, ladies you need to wear according to your body type, just so you can look good and feel comfortable at the same time.

According to Danny:

One item that needs to exit your closet:

·         It’s difficult to say what women should get rid of but ill-fitting clothes need to go!

 Must have:

·         A quality statement necklace is a must.

·         The item every woman in the world needs to have is a good high waist black booty panty or the Bonang Distraction all in one body shaper.

You don’t need to limit yourself, but just be cautious of what you wear, don’t overdo it, remember simplicity is beautiful. All body shapes are beautiful, don’t forget that.
