Working on me, myself and I

Working on yourself is the most difficult undertaking you could ever embark on. Please tag the artist! I go quiet on the socials sometimes, precisely because I am working on myself and I cannot share every step of the process with you all. I have learned that granting unrestricted access to you and your inner self is not a very prudent thing to do. I realized the other day as I was praying the…

I have a dream of a cohesive family unit

Today I saw the most prayerful, bravest kids.I wish I had their conviction of faith. For a second I found myself wishing we were still a cohesive unit, in spite of age and life experience. Cohesion is very important in families. In my assessment, in order to achieve a loving, cohesive unit, you need to:1. Lighten up a bit (directed at me!) 2. Be willing to compromise as different individuals3.…

Dearest family, Let's love and forgive each other

Dearest family, Let’s love and forgive each other

I got overwhelmed the other day thinking about ukhokho kakhokho wethu uMdambiso. Indoda eyayingabafuni ngempela abelumbi. “Salahlekelwa” ubukhosi basemaJwareni banikwa uDuma, saba uDumisa ngoba engeke azibandakanye nabelumbi.Wayengeyona indoda enonya, wayezazi ukuthi ungubani nokuthi yini angayifuni eduze kwakhe. Kuthe ngokushona kamfowabo uSoshangisa eMtshezi, kwafika imibiko yokungabi kuhle…

Children are such copy cats

I’m a coffee person (ngesiPitori “Myself I’m coffee person”). 😂😂😂😂 I woke up with certain characters on my mind and in my heart and yes, I do have a heart.I hide it well 😂😂😂😂😂. Growing up my parents insisted that we only drink Milo and cocoa. Little did they know that Khulu never got that memo. Khulu drank coffee through out the day, everyday. She had those tall teapots with built-in wire mesh…

Working on yourself is the most difficult undertaking you could ever embark on. Please tag the artist! I go quiet on the socials sometimes, precisely because I am working on myself and I cannot share every step of the process with you all. I have learned that granting unrestricted access to you and your inner self is not a very prudent thing to do. I realized the other day as I was praying the Examen (google St Ignatius of Loyola) just how out of touch I am with the outside world. It is very easy to block what doesn't nurture you when you get to my age😋 One might argue that it is easier to live a holy life when you are not subjected to temptations and my isolation certainly cuts down on the problematic encounters, which might lead one astray. Perhaps the thorn on my side is within and it's about time I start tackling it. Self-awareness doesn't just happen overnight or without any discomforts, prompting it. I will not be like St James and tell you to count it pure joy. That's for full-time hardcore Christians. Ride the waves, the proverbial ups and downs of life and hang on for dear life because ain't nothing smooth about this life. Cry if you must, shout if you must, but rest assured that whatever dark tunnel you are in has an opening on the other end. It helps to believe in a higher power, whatever you might perceive him/her or it to be. In conclusion, if the higher power managed to create all that we see, hear, feel, touch and smell, trust me they can make your life easier and even your wildest dreams possible. Just keep on dreaming, asking and believing. Your time is coming. Your blessings will locate you at the appointed time. This is what's in my spirit tonight as loadshedding presents me with this moment of total silence. Let the church say Amen. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjvo1_tKQwR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Real Housewives of Capetown Mid-season Review

Syabuka phela ngoba sithandizinto. Real Housewives of Capetown is such a let down 🙄. Lue only joined the show in the previous episode and she’s trying so hard to get the spotlight, it’s coming off as being tjatjarag. I loved how Rooksie owned uo to the work she’s had done on her body. That’s how you shut the drama down. I am just speculating here, but it seems to me the show producers want to…

Am I alone in feeling guilty for blueticking the #MarikanaMassacre? A lot of noise was made this year about it, but the tragic event took place years ago and we just kept it moving. I remember how disgusted I was when Trevor Noah made an insensitive joke about it. I had expected outrage, but we just blueticked and kept it moving. I remember how the focus was on Riah Phiyega and her looks, as is always with female leaders in this country. Even then we listened and kept it moving. The EFF took the issue on and became the self appointed owners of the tragedy. It was milked for all its emotional wealth and evoked the intended feelings from the affected people. But as usual, we kept it moving. It became a political sparring gimmick and we accepted it and kept it moving. Miners died, fighting for a living wage. How could we bluetick the massacre of black breadwinners just like that? How do you just keep it moving after such a tragedy? What happened to our spirit of Ubuntu? The media might be talking about it now, but ordinary SAns kept it moving then and are still unbothered even now. 😢 May their souls rest in peace.

Real Housewives of Lagos Season 1 Reunion Part 1 Review| It’s Caro’s world, we just live in it

Y’all know I love Toyin Real Housewives of Lagos Season 1 Reunion Part 1 did not go well for Toyin. First of all, can we pause and gasp collectively for the breathtaking fashions! Nigerian women know how to carry these over the top styles okay The chunky jewelry must have been the theme, potatoes and all. The grand entrances were Toyin had an unusual demeanor when they were being greeted by…

Snowflake Mountain | I know I don’t qualify

Such a diverse bunch of munchkins Just finished watching Snowflake Montain. It’s a reality show on Netflix about spoilt young adults who are entitled, struggling with growing up (cleaning up after themselves, cooking, laundry, doing anything constructive with their lives) and leading their own lives basically. If it were shot here in Mzansi, to cast it they’d have to differentiate and filter…

Closure| What a scam

A personal reflection by the fabulousmeujwara.com What if you were jilted and never got an explanation for your dumpation? What if the answers you seek are so obvious that when you decide to actually accept them, life becomes much lighter. On my 24th birthday, my dad gave me some spending money and permission to go to town, no questions asked. I met with my then boyfriend at our usual spot at…

Real Housewives of Lagos Season 1 Episode 8 Review: Mid-season Reunion by Iyabo.

Did anybody else pause to read each whatsapp message on the #RHOLagos?Production is doing so much 🙄. The comparison of social media followers was hilarious 😂😂😂 Carolyna responded disproportionately vile to Laura’s whatsapp message. The girl is hateful. They can gang up on Laura all they want but Carolyna was in the wrong. Chioma’s getting more and more irritating with every episode. For Chioma…

Real Housewives of Lagos Season 1 Episode 7| Shots fired🙆🏿

I hadn’t felt like reviewing the Real Housewives of Lagos until now.The ladies have had their little dramas and shady moments, e.g. Chioma calling Laura a customer and not a friend, Carolyna boho event’s drama, Carolyn being cold towards Mirriam and all the antics at Laura’s fashion show.Marriam had asked for a drama-free dinner but the late comers started a chain of events that culminated in…

Phat Stylish Divaz Boutique | Dreams do come true

The Facebook group that kept my dreams alive Sometimes history repeats itself in the best way possible. My mom started a clothing boutique at the age of 42. I am not sure if she made any profit from it, because it became our reserve closet. If we didn’t have any clean clothes to wear, we’d simply shop for free. Our parents’ businesses endured a lot of free-shopping 🤔 by “two-legged mice” as…

Real Housewives of Durban Season 2 Episode 14 Reunion Part 2| Epic fail👎

It was “bash LaConco” day and they inadvertently elevated her😂 What a boring reunion😴. Donovan Goliath shouldn’t have accepted the gig. Next time they must bring in Moshe Ndiki or Selbeyonce if they can’t afford Somizi. Even MaBlerh would have done a better job. Tweeps want MacG to host the next one but I am not sure if we are ready for that as a country in general, real Housewives fans in…

The Real Housewives of Durban Season 2 Episode 13: Reunion Part 1| Thobile called LaConco a devil!

Congratulations to Ixoki lamaxoki 🎉 “Meh” is how I would describe the 1st reunion episode of #RHODurban Season 2. At first I thought “mnxm” but after watching episode 5 of #RHOLagos, I was even more disappointed with the Durban franchise. I got questions bahlali🙋: 1. Where was this Thobile during episodes? The extra footage that didn’t make it to the episodes is proof that there’s an agenda…

Real Housewives of Durban Season 2 Review of Episodes 10-12| Quit Messing with Mabusi!

Once upon a time I was a fan of the Real Housewives of Durban and would wait up for each new episode. I simply had to be among the first to watch and tweet about it. I would revel at seeing #RHODurban trend for days. Until season 2 started on a sour note. I have really tried to enjoy this season but I’m finding it hard to consume the manipulated content we’re being offered as episodes. Back…

The Nonku Williams show was full of drama this week.Not Jojo tank summoning Mabusi to her house to accuse her of having asked the Calvin question and to ask if her designer bags are real or fake. That was some Karen ish right there.Kanene, is Jojo not aware that her husband is older? Sugarbabies must own it the way Khanyi Mbau did. They’ll worry less about what others are thinking.The biggest…
