The World According to the Township Diva

It’s been a while!

Hello lovelies :) I’ve been off the grid for far too long. Been busy making a few mistakes in the love department. My ex begged me to take him back and I did. This was in February  *darn you month of love*.  Three months later, we were over… AGAIN!!! Lesson learnt? I should stop eating my own vomit. Guys, if you are thinking of going back to your exes, DON’T DO IT! It never gets better. It just…

Do You Know What You Want?

Hello lovelies :) I hope you are having a great start to the month of love! While everyone is going on about the impending Valentines Day (which I dread), I am excited and looking forward to DeadPool! I can’t wait for 12 February *Whoop whoop* *I love Valentines day when I am someone’s Valentine! Yes, I’m a girl and I love all hearts and stuff! Anyways, as much as I would love to go on and on…

Hello lovelies :) I hope you are having a fabulous start to the New Year!  I really wish you the best for 2016. You deserve it :) So,as some of you know, I’m currently registered on one of the “reputable” online dating services in South Africa. But since, I joined this service, I’ve had the joy of dealing with a lot of dodgy men. Some examples: Mr ‘Disappearing Act’. He would chat to me for a…

All the Best for 2016!

Hello Lovelies :) it’s that time of the year again where we sit,sipping glasses of our favourite poison and reflect on the outgoing year. Well, this post is not about that, it’s about what i wish for you in the new year! For all of you going heartbreak, feeling angry and betrayed – forgive them. Not because what they did was acceptable, but because you deserve peace; For all of you who have lost…

When your date pitches up wearing sweatpants!

Hello Lovelies :) So, I had one of the most bizarre dates on Saturday! I had met the guy through my friend, who happened to have met him on one of the online dating sites! Yes, I should have realised that this would be a disaster! My friend basically told me about this “awesome” guy, who was looking for a serious relationship. He was “God fearing” and was looking for a wife. Since my friend was…

My ex is a psychopath!

hello lovelies:) Have you ever dated someone who was loathed by everyone in your life? Where your family and friends beg you to end things because the guy is going to leave you mentally and emotionally broken? Well, i did and I’ve written a few posts about that disaster of a relationship.  I was so brainwashed that I couldn’t see the hell I was in. Only my friends and family could see it and as…

Be cool. Don’t be all, like, uncool!

Hello lovelies :) It’s finally Friday! *whoop whoop* So, this post is all about being cool! Yes, I watch the Real Housewives of New York. Don’t judge :) I mean, after a day’s hard work, all the challenges and exhaustion, it’s nice to sit on a couch and watch a bunch of crazy women get all dramatic about EVERYTHING!  A few weeks ago, I was sitting there, following the drama when Luann de Lessep…

If all else fails, here’s one simple rule to master

hello lovelies :) There are so  many rules, so many do’s and don’t when it comes to relationships! For me, the number one rule is “mirror the effort.” So, if you find yourself calling your friend a whole lot more than he/she calls you, then there’s a problem. If you find yourself giving, giving and giving while your boy/girlfriend keeps taking, taking and taking, then you have a problem. Stop for…

Hero Kind of Love!

Hi lovelies :) Do you ever have that ‘aha’ moment? I’m sure you do, Oprah has them all the time! Well, I had one earlier today. I was listening to this song called “Superhero” by Praiz (from Nigeria). It’s a great song, one of my favourites. It’s about  this man professing his love to his lady. He will do anything and everything for her. Essentially, he’s her superhero. He will SAVE HER!!!!!!! I…

hello lovelies, I hope you are all ready for a fantabulous weekend. I just thought to write a little post about my special dad. He’s the most loving father ever. Such a beautiful soul and so special! Even though we live in different provinces, he knows when I’m going through something. How do I know this? Well, every morning after a hectic night  of  crying over something or the other, he would…

Hello lovelies :) I saw this Trent Shelton video on YouTube and had to share! I, myself am guilty of ignoring the red flags and trust me, when you ignore them, it doesn’t end well! check it out! Till next time, xoxo

Be someone that makes you happy!

Hello lovelies :) Last night I came across this quote ” Be with someone that makes you happy.” I found it so powerful that I had to share it. Most of us are guilty of blaming other people for our unhappiness. “you make me so unhappy.” “why don’t you make me happy?” “I’m not happy in this relationship.” I have to say I’ve been very guilty of placing my own happiness onto someone else’s hands.…

Dating on the Web

Hello lovelies :) I hope you are all healthy and strong, happy and having fun. Isn’t that what life is all about? Being happy???? Anyway I have embarked on an interesting journey, a scary but exciting and entertaining journey.  Yes, I’m talking about internet dating or is it called online dating???? Well, I  have to be brave to do this because there are some sketchy characters out there on big…

Don’t run away from your feelings! They will catch you!

Hello lovelies, I hope you are all doing well :) What do you do when you are suddenly overcome by feelings you don’t want to feel? what do you do you when out of the blue, you find yourself thinking about that ex who broke your heart? Do you embrace your feelings or do you shake your head and will them away? I know you are told to keep yourself busy after a break up, you are encouraged to think…

Hello lovelies :) I have been away from blog land for too long! The things that kept me away were – a four day training course that left me exhausted, long hours at work  and my mom’s visit *yay*! So, back to my 4 day training course. The one thing that stuck in my mind was the concept of the “the blind spot”. We all have a blind spot, the characteristics we don’t know (or are not aware of )about…

Who’s Happier: Married or Single Women?

Hello lovelies, So yesterday, I had an interesting chat with my married girlfriend. Actually, the direction the conversation went shocked me! I hadn’t spoken to her in a while and all the updates I had about her life was the stuff she posted on Facebook. From those updates alone, I thought she was the happiest chick in the world, in love with her hubby and in married bliss. When I asked her an…
