It’s been well over 10 years since I fell randomly into the social media space. In a time when people were getting onto Facebook, others had just joined Twitter and YouTube had some best random hit videos. When blogs and websites were breaking South African perspectives. It was a time...
The well i am challenge 100 healthy days has come to an end, but my journey on this road of healthiness, I hope, continues. There are things I learnt about myself that surprised even me. This challenge was an interesting one. When I started it, I was worried how I...
What is Social Media Marketing? How many times have you been asked what do you do? A lot of people think my life is about sitting on Facebook and Twitter the entire day. Most of these people including my family [my father especially], just don’t get what I do when...
Half way into the month and I’ve realised nothing is easy. I should be making inroads with the well i am challenge, but I am currently falling back on my excuse that it’s Ramadan. Honestly, I’ve really taken it easy this month and have been indulging in weird ways, who says...
This week (1 July) marked the start of my 100 healthy days with well i am. The idea of starting it in Ramadan worried me, but I realised Ramadan is not an excuse. It’s actually the perfect time to begin something like this. Ramadan teaches us the value of people...
Reach, reach, reach. Reach more people, with less time. Reach the right people, in the right places. Reach everyone somehow. The reach argument never goes away. History probably had this argument when Gutenberg invented the printing press and when radio and TV became mediums in which to sell to consumers....
Get fit, get healthy, get motivated. My new mantra for this year. Let’s just say it hasn’t been going as planned but I am getting there. With this in mind, fellow friend, Aasia, and I are taking up the well i am Challenge – 100 days to get Summer ready – a...
Google+ is one of those platforms that confuse and leave people wanting it to evaporate into thin air. It actually isn’t all that bad. The platform just confuses people as it’s new and people never know how to adapt to change. Like with everything it takes time. Remember the last...
I had to really think long and hard, about whether I was going to vote or not in South Africa’s 2014 elections. My decision: VOTE! Many people my age are not sure about whether they will be voting or not. We’re old enough to remember not being able to vote...
I moved back to my hometown last year December [2013] and have partially kept it on the low down, but now it’s time to let it all out. It’s been 3 months and counting and I haven’t regretted it. I moved back for personal reasons, and I am grateful to...
If you’re anything at all like me, most of the time you forget anniversaries, special days and Valentines Day, or in the case of V Day, remember a day before. Also, it doesn’t help the Valentines Day falls slap, bang in the middle of the month when you’re at your...
With all the excitement building and just because it’s the weekend, I figured this was the best time to do a little giveaway. Voted #1 DJ in the world, Hardwell is heading to SA in December and there’s a chance you want to be there, right? Great news – I...

So on Saturday, I did my first 10km run in about 15 years. That’s a pretty long time if you really think about it, but what I found interesting, was why I even decided to sign up for Run Jozi. I am in no way motivated to run, I honestly...
*Competition is now closed Its that time of the year again, a time of reflection, sacrifice, patience and forgiveness. Yes, its Ramadan. A time when Muslims observe the fast and abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset. It is not only about abstaining from food and drink, but...
* Original post here It’s become fairly common parlance to dismiss Google Plus as a nearly ran but it is actually the new black of social media. Not only is it becoming a key social channel, it is gaining more and more active users. Google currently estimates that there...
Some people say you should reflect every few months of what you’re learning and what you’ve learnt. It will help you see where you’re going to. For me, I think my 2 year milestone at Cerebra is the perfect time for some reflection. First thing I have to point out...
