    Bonnie Meslane is ready to launch her radio career

    Media personality and celebrity publicist Bonnie Meslane is one step closer to fulfilling her dream of becoming a radio host.

    Meslane was recently shortlisted for a presenting gig at the SABC’s Umhlobo Wenene FM. My father called me telling me I had been shortlisted. He heard on the radio. I am elated. I prayed for this. I want this job…” says Meslane.

    The star says winning the presenter search competition will inspire young people, particularly from her home village of Mqanduli in the Eastern Cape.

    “This opportunity would mean a lot for me and my community. I am from a rural village in Mqanduli, with little opportunity, and that would affirm not only my dreams but those of people who come from where I come from. It would inspire hope in a lot of people
    No stranger to radio, Meslane worked as a content contributor for Phumzile Zonke’s weekend show “Abahlali Abangalali” on Umhlobo Wenene back in 2013.

    She also worked as a breakfast content producer for DJ Sbu Leope on Massiv Metro.

    “I have always loved radio, I love entertainment and I believe it is time to step to the front and fulfil my dreams.
    I have been so blessed to have the job of my dreams as a publicist. I started out as an art director and wardrobe intern for three short films at Coalstove Pictures in 2012 and, shortly after, I joined ”Jucy Africa”, a lifestyle digital magazine owned by now SABC news anchor Nzinga Qunta.

    “It is there that I became more creative and confident in my writing, experienced the industry as a budding journalist, attending events and reporting. I also got the opportunity to co-ordinate and produce editorial shoots, style them, and again do art direction.

    “I later joined Soulistic Music and worked for Black Coffee, another enlightening experience.

    “I joined Total Exposure in 2015 and worked on some of the best accounts across entertainment and lifestyle.

    “I worked on the Nicki Minaj concert, the Samas, the BET Awards, the BET Experience and so many other beautiful campaigns. Meslane is appealing to all South Africans to help her win the Umhlobo Wenene presenter search.

  • How to rebuild your self esteem after you exit an abusive relationship

    How to rebuild your self esteem after you exit an abusive relationship

    Leaving behind a toxic lover is no easy task. So, the first thing you must do after you exit such a relationship is to simply pat yourself on the back and hold your head up high.

    Whether you’ve suffered emotional abusive, physical violence or even a partner who constantly gaslights you, you should know that you deserve better.

    While the road to recovery and healing your heart may be a long one, it is an important step.

    Take a look at a few ways to rebuild your self-esteem after you exit an abusive relationship.

    Accept that the relationship was not your fault and forgive yourself for letting someone treat you poorly. Be kind to yourself and do not belittle yourself for your choices.
    Take up a new hobby where you can craft something tangible and gauge your progress. Be it pottery, painting or even sculpture making; seeing tangible results from your perseverance can give you the validation and satisfaction you need from learning a new skill.
    Give your mutual friends some space and reconnect with childhood pals of yours who knew the old you who was more confident and outgoing.
    It can be helpful to aid another individual with tasks. Be it kind advice to someone who is just starting out in their career, giving cooking lessons to a teenager or even lending a kind ear to someone dealing with emotional baggage. This would also rebuild your self-confidence as someone who can actively contribute to society.
    Rediscover activities you pursued during childhood that gave you joy. Be it cycling off for a picnic, reading a romance novel, flying a kite or even star gazing. Do these again to reclaim your self-esteem.
    Don’t push yourself to do anything, take the time to relax and feel safe after being in an abusive relationship knowing that things will only get better.

    DJ Lamiez Holworthy angered by fake People

    DJ Lamiez Holworthy is known for her kind and generous heart. But that does not mean that she shies away from calling out bad behavior as well putting hypocrites on blast.

    Just recently she took to her Instagram stories in a rant that has shaken all of Mzansi. And while it is not yet clear what or who may have provoked her this time, her stern message has been received loud and clear.
    In her Insta stories, a visibly upset Lamiez wrote saying that the meanest of girls always hide behind bible verses and fake women empowerment.

    Not only that, she warned them saying that people do notice the lowkey jabs they throw at others and it is pathetic to say the least.
    This is not the first time we have seen the female DJ call out hypocrisy for what it really is. It was just the other day when she came guns blazing at tweeps who had decided to shame Uncle Waffles for how she had been dressed at one of her gigs.

    Being a female deejay herself, she was not going to sit pretty and watch as one of her own was put under fire for such a flimsy reason.

    For celebs who is always so kindhearted, fans had never imagined that they would see her no-nonsense side and we have to all agree that we like her even better this way.
    Clearly this will not be the last time we will be hearing from Lamiez now that she has proven to her fans that she is not ashamed of speaking her mind. Like just the other day when she made a stern warning to those who share her personal contact details to just anybody.

    This she said was in violation of her privacy and she would not condone such behavior at all. Yes, her tone was not at all that kind but she stood her ground and we can only hope that her fans and friends will respect her decision.

  • Natural mouth fresheners to get rid of bad breath

    Natural mouth fresheners to get rid of bad breath

    Our breath usually smells in the morning when we wake up due to bacteria build-up overnight. It is a common issue and we all have to deal with it. But some people have persistent bad breath, which can be pretty embarrassing especially when they are in a meeting or out with friends. Bad breath or halitosis, is caused due to bacteria build-up in the mouth, which produce gasses that can smell.

    The odour is generally produced when the bacteria breaks down sugars and starches in the foods we eat. In some cases, it can also indicate serious dental problems like gum disease or tooth decay.

    While the best solution to get rid of the problem of bad breath is to regularly go for dental check-ups, some time-tested remedies may also help to get rid of the issues.

    Here are 5 natural mouth fresheners that can help with your problem of bad breath.

    ​1. Cloves
    Clove is another common ingredient found in our pantry that can help to get rid of the problem of bad breath and swollen gum. Its antibacterial properties reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth and reduce the risk of other dental issues like bleeding and tooth decay. You can just pop a few pieces of cloves into your mouth and chew them to get rid of the problem of bad breath.

    2. Water
    Less intake of water in a day can also make your mouth smell. Water helps to flush out bacteria from the mouth and also prevent it from multiplying in the mouth. It helps to keep your breath fresh. So, if you feel your breath smells a lot, drink plenty of water a day. You can also squeeze half a lemon in your water to make your breath smell refreshing.

    ​3. Honey and cinnamon
    Both honey and cinnamon have strong anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that can help to reduce the bacterial growth in your mouth and keep your gum healthy. Applying honey and cinnamon paste on your teeth and gums regularly can reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum bleeding and even bad breath. Both the ingredients are absolutely safe and can easily be found in the pantry.

    ​4. Cinnamon bark
    The sweet-tasting cinnamon bark can also help you get rid of the problem of bad breath. Just like clove, cinnamon also contains antibacterial properties that can reduce the growth of the odour causing bacteria in the mouth. You just have to keep a small piece of cinnamon bark in your mouth for a few minutes and then you can throw it.

    5. Saltwater gargle
    Gargling with warm salt water can prevent the growth of bad bacteria in the mouth and make your breath smell refreshing. Saltwater makes it difficult for odour causing bacteria to multiply in the mouth and flush them away. You just have to mix 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a glass of water and gargle with it before stepping out.

  • MacG fires shots at Minnie Dlamini’s failed Marriage

    MacG fires shots at Minnie Dlamini’s failed Marriage

    When Minnie Dlamini showed which side she lies on, during the whole celebrities vs Podcast And Chill With MacG saga, she made an “enemy” out of MacG. The now father of two did mention that he does not care about any of the celebs in Mzansi because they were and still are against him and he built his podcast from scratch without their help. So best believe when things go south for them, he would not shed a single tear.

    Minnie Dlamini is still the most talked-about celebrity this week as she announced that her marriage of four years reached its demise. She and her soon-to-be ex-husband Quinton Jones have reportedly lived a year apart from one another while “co-parenting” – for a lack of a better word – Netha.

    The team was speaking about Slik Talk’s return saying he made a few valid points in his YouTube episode about Minnie Dlamini’s divorce. This presented an opportunity for the team to say a few words about Minnie and her marriage, and it was not pretty. Sol Phenduka agreed with Slik Talk and said he made a few valid points about Minnie and MacG agreed with him.

    MacG

    Sol Phenduka said, Minnie married a man who was well-off and they did love each other but it just did not work out. He then took it back to the time when Minnie attacked Podcast And Chill when they interviewed Jub Jub, telling them to do better and said she could not finish the episode. “Well the podcast is not the only thing you could not finish,” said Sol. MacG then said, “in fact the podcast lasted longer than her marriage,” they all laughed.
    Then MacG said nobody in their right mind would marry an IT girl, like Minnie because he thinks these women are only focused on the bag. This man could not give Minnie Dlamini the attention that she wants. The power couple vibe. He could not meet that requirement.

    “This man is a shy beta male who doesn’t have the balls to speak on camera. Let’s be factual, he does not have the balls to speak on camera, and his shy. Nobody knows what he sounds like and nobody has ever heard him speak and Nobody even knows his real name.

    “See Minnie Dlamini comes from the era of the It-Girls and that is a very lonely era. We see them, the Pearl Thusi’s the Bonang’s of this world. All of them are lonely, all of them are single because they come from an era where they were put on this pedestal and every guy has to meet that pedestal. Boity is with that light-skinned guy and we all know that is not going to last.

  • Easy tips if you want to achieve optimal health

    Easy tips if you want to achieve optimal health

    If achieving optimal health is on your cards, and you don’t know where to start from, there’s nothing to worry about. No matter how daunting it may sound, achieving optimal health is not that big a deal.

    A few minor changes here and there will make sure that you are leaving a healthy lifestyle and staying fit, active, and, of course, healthy.

    Here are a few tips that will help.

    1. Cut down on salt and sugar

    If you are a fan of sweet, salty, or spicy foods, you might be disappointed to know that in order to achieve optimum health, it’s imperative to limit the intake of such foods. Instead, add fresh fruits and vegetables to your daily routine. Eat a balanced diet and make sure you have completed your daily dose of essential nutrients.

    2. Get your body check-ups done

    While this may sound absurd to many, it’s important to get yourself tested every year. Get your blood tests done, if you see any complications, get in touch with a doctor. Don’t ignore any early symptoms and make sure you are taking proper care. If you are perfectly fit and fine, it won’t harm to see a doctor once a year for your regular check-ups.

    3. Have proper rest

    While many will suggest you stay active and exercise for achieving optimum health, we are not saying that it’s wrong, however, resting is just as much important as staying active. So, if you, too, are a victim of extended working hours and exhaust yourself throughout the day, it’s important that you sleep on time and have proper rest. Follow a sleeping schedule, have 8 hours of sleep, wake up early in the morning, and avoid afternoon naps. Don’t forget to take out 10 minutes of your busy schedule solely for yourself and utilise them by sitting at peace. Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and make the best of those 10 minutes of your life.
