I was editing the last 2oceansvibe Weather Girls feature at iKraal head office the other day, and started playing some Tom Jones on my laptop. That’s when I received an email from Ken in the next room, with a link to this very early live video of “The Voice” dancing on stage. Oh my shattered […]

With the 20-60yrs of age female readership of this website, I do hope the angels out there, young and old, realise how naturally beautiful they are. There is a particularly dangerous mental and financial trap that woman can fall into when it comes to beauty products and, if this how you girls are imagining/seeing yourselves […]

So Twitter is coming along nicely here in South Africa. We’re forming our own cute little networks and followers and tweets and twats, building up followers and finding out about new people and things to follow on a daily basis.

Now I’m sure you spotted those Woolworths Mother’s Day ads around 2oceansvibe. Mm, it gave you a fright, didn’t it? Mother’s Day always seems to creep up on me. It’s one of those tricky ones, because it’s not a set date. It’s one of those “second Sunday in the month” vibes. It IS in May, […]

That’s right, the 2009 Gumball 3000 Rally runs from 2 to 8 May.

It’s a cross country/ies 3,000 miles long and is done in ultra-luxurious, rare […]

This just in. Having spent some time in my youth in Pinelands, it always cuts me deep when I hear bad stories to do with the once sleepy hollow. I was having a great day today, between working on the movie script and some down time at Caprice – before I received this email and […]

Don’t know about you, but I just bought 5 lines for Friday’s Euromillions jackpot. I suggest you do the same. During a recession, why would you not?

Mish Kebab sent this through to me and I wasn’t quite sure how to take it. She says she didn’t have any bacon at home and that droewors works just as well. This post is, essentially, for the laydezz! [Although I should mention that I got this (and wrote this) before the swine flu virus […]

I don’t know too much about wine, to be quite honest. I drink wine that I think tastes good and that’s probably why I’ve settled for De Grendel wine. Quality stuff, easy drinking and affordable – with all the awards to boot (just in case there is a wine snob in the room!). The oldest […]
