Living Mannequin…
My latest inspirational youngin’ goes by the handle @SA_FatShionista on twitter but is known by the name Marcia to those close to her. Her edgy fashion sense and amazing personality have made her a hit on the social network, her bio reads: Founder of #TeamBigGirls in SA and “Be your own standard of beautiful.”
She is a tattoo enthusiast and also runs an amazing blog that gives insight into her life and all things Marcia. She spends her spare time with friends or just having quiet moments with herself.
We love Marcia for her quirkiness, amazing dress sense and embracing beauty in all forms, read on for more reasons why she is one to watch…
Oh and sorry boys but she is spoken for!
Quick fire Q’s:
This winter I’m rocking... Sunglasses STILL! lol and blonde hair
Everything in moderation except... My nails.. Nail art is the way I’m going this winter for that bit of colour, or with me, Craziness
The fragrance I’m wearing... Elizabeth Arden: Red Door Revealed.
My Favourite magazine... Glamour…You get so much from such miniature mag. Love it!
The most valuable thing I learnt from my mom is… Respect and Appreciation. I’ve learnt to always appreciate what i receive because there’s a possibility of NOT having it at all.
My no.1 beauty tip is... It always goes back to the old saying "Beauty comes from within”... Embrace your inner beauty and it’ll reflect on the outside

BB and CC creams for
chocolate skin...
You’d have to be living under a really large rock to not know that BB and CC creams are all the rage in the beauty world right now. The new kids on the block are said to contain highly reflective ingredients that effectively cover blemishes and provide a lot more coverage than regular tinted moisturisers.
BB creams (Beauty
Balms/blemish balms) and CC creams (Colour Control) sound like a dream come
true for women with uneven skin tone and blemish prone skin. Naturally I jumped
at the first chance to try one of these ‘miracle’ products out for myself.
I was unfortunately disappointed by the lack of product for dark skinned women. I purchased a tube of Garnier’s BB Miracle Skin Perfector cream in their Dark shade (R79.00) and was pleasantly surprised by how light and easy it was to apply- no mess, no fuss. I did find it a little light on my skin as I am a deeper shade of brown but overall it was a good investment.
I can’t wait to get my hands on Ponds latest release which is specifically formulated for dark skin, hopefully in the near future there will be a larger range of BB and CC creams for all shades of skin.

Sunday
My 15 minutes of F.A. M. E!!
My 15 minutes of F (fact) A (awe) M (morality) E (excellence)…
I was recently offered a guest appearance on Soweto TV’s hit show Sistas, the topic that we tackled was World Aids Day and the AIDS pandemic, we touched on matters such as Aids Awareness, Relationships and HIV, Sugar- daddy’s and the youths perspective on AIDS. I was impressed by how up to speed my friends were on the topic, in awe of the professionalism of the crew, fascinated by the moralist- orientated choice of topic and its relevance, as the day of screening was followed by- you guessed it…World Aids Day and the excellent choice of guests didn’t hurt one bit! *winks* I’ve loaded a snippet of our segment on the show, one of us goof-balling in the green room and some pictures of us on set… Next step… 3 Talk With Noeleen LOL!
Hi people, yeah its been a while since I last posted! Today I'm bringing you the last post on my young and inspirational South Africans as promised months back (lol!sorry for the delay)...
The Son God...
I had the honour of having Rashid Kay complete a quick interview for me, for those of you who dont know who Rashid is (which rock are you living under?), he is a Jo'burg based Hip Hop artist who has three albums to date, he is a member of Hip Hop trio Pyramid Skeem and is the strategist for the upcoming SAHHA's (South African Hip Hop Awards). Rashid has worked with numerous local and international artists and has been featured on blogs such as teameffortsmedia.blogspot.com and pitsere.
These are some of the things I wanted to know about him... hope you enjoy it...
Q: How did you get into hip- hop and why is it your passion?
I started writing my own scripts at the age of 14 and appeared on Jam Alley as a contestant. I've always been outspoken so the freedom of expression and the use of language in Hip Hop made it easy for me to be passionate about it.
Q: What are you up to at the moment (projects, events, etc.)?A: I'm working on a Hip Hop documentary called "Fede Fokol" for SABC1.
Then releasing my new album "RA- THE SON GOD" in 2012. I'm performing all over the country, wherever I get booked.
Q: Future plans?
A: I want to have a TV show about SA Hip Hop. Own a Hip Hop radio
station. Publish books that I'm currently working on. Get married and
raise kids.
