I first came across Nicholette on Instagram, and I liked that she had created content that was so clear and easy to understand. I also love that she knows exactly who her ideal audience is and knows how to talk to them. She effortlessly combines her stunning style,...

I came across Mermaids & Unicorns during the course of last year. Because my business was just starting out, and I was ploughing all the money I made back into the business, there wasn’t spare cash to splurge on things for myself. But that changed this...

For the last year-and-a-bit, I have featured inspiring women in business. Because I joined The Fempreneur Collective as a crew member, I decided to create an interview mini-series featuring the rest of the crew members. I felt that the series wouldn’t be...

In today’s interview, I chat to Maila Zahid. Maila proudly admits that she’s never held a “normal 9-to-5” position. I think that this is so interesting, in a society that favours gaining “real-world work experience” before...

This week, I’m bringing you something extra-extra special. It’s one of the interviews I’m the proudest of because I had to put in a few more hours than usual to get it done (I’ll explain in a sec). This week, Jakolien Sok from The Fempreneur...

I first came across Nicola in August of last year, I think. I was scrolling through Nadia van der Mescht’s Instagram feed and noticed the username “askashe” pop up with relative frequency. I also saw her featured I one of Nadia’s Insta...

I came across Nabeela’s Miss Artsy-Crafty brand at the end of 2015 while on an Instagram exploration spree. I noticed that she was 15, and putting out quality content – girl has mad skills. In one of her Instagram posts, she chatted about a DIY that she...

I’m so chuffed that this ladyboss feature has an international flavour. Natalie Newman calls Vienna home, and she’s the gentle soul behind Vanillery Garden. I first came across her work approximately 2 years ago on my journey around Instagram. Her work...

I haven’t done an interview in quite a while, and it’s not for lack of trying. The ladies I want to interview are amazing, and amazingly busy, so I have had to be patient while the world sends me fabulous women to feature in this series. This week,...

I came across Nicola Tweed on Instagram as I was drooling over Lauren Setterberg’s images. Nicola is also a resident of KwaZulu-Natal and in my mind belongs to the group of entrepreneur rockstars that includes Andrea Barras. As is obvious from the name of her...

I start today’s post by saying: I’m thrilled to feature the delightful graphic designer, entrepreneur and web designer Andrea Barras of Bird & Design. I think there must be something in the KwaZulu-Natal air that we don’t seem to have enough of...
