I ALWAYS DREAMED OF… …
Becoming an economist and being Trevor Manuel’s right hand woman. That, or being a pilot. When I was younger, I remember looking into the cockpit of an aeroplane and thinking how much I wanted to commandeer a craft like this. I haven’t gotten there yet, but just you wait.

The perks of being a salon owner means I have my nails done twice a week. I’m obsessed with mirror nails and negative space right now. I love that the nail bed is left natural, it’s fresh and modern.
EAT YOUR SKIN BEAUTIFUL
Vegetables are the secret to better skin when you don’t have the genes. For years the focus was on the topical stuff, like what you put on your skin. I often got breakouts, so I went to see a dietician and she revamped my diet to include more plant-based foods and protein. I saw a difference in my skin in two weeks.
