Gemstones Nail Bar (GNB) Launch





8 months later… After all the braining storming, planning, travelling, advertising, putting things together, crying, sweat and tears, changing locations, disappointment and some joy….the day finally came when Gemstones was to no longer be just a dream but a reality. The amount of work that went into this project still gives me shivers I promise. Just seeing it all come together was so overwhelming, but still an amazing feeling.












Planning for the launch itself was just another experience, one I will remember for ever and always, all the good and bad. The night before the launch I literally slept on the couch at the store, it was as though there was still so much to do. Nevertheless it happened, the launch was an incredible success, I thank God for giving me the strength to do all that I did.
























































A big shout out to all our friends and family who came through to get their nails done and to share in this moment. A shout out to the nail technicians (Gcebile, Ndumy and Bongi). A bigger shout out to my cupcake Delsie who came all the way from Durban to do her nails and to be of support.
An even bigger shout out to my hubby (I love you baby) and my partner in crime Nokwanda Simelane (this is only the beginning ne chomi).













WITS SWAZI PARTY/SOCIAL




After I had vowed that I wouldn do this again aSince the FAREWELL PARTY was a good show, Mpho Maziya, the chairlady of the Swaziland Student Association (SSA) and Bello Esempio came together again the following weekend to host an intimate party for the Swazi students at Wits University on Friday and a soccer social on Saturday. Both days were hectic, but good. We did what did best yet once again, we had meat and alcohol on both daysfter HIPNOTIK, here I was at the braai stand roasting some chicken. I was smelling of smoke and burning from the fire, atleast it wasn as cold though. Yea we did it yet once again….we created another crazy and successful weekend. But for real this time….if I don’t see another braai stand and chicken again, it will be too soon. I don’t even wanna see a live chicken just passing by….lol  #ImJustSayin

The Farewell… #TheSendOff





It was back to school, so The Swaziland Student Association (SSA) and Bello Esempio came together to give the Swazi students studying in South Africa a reason to party one last time in Swaziland before all the drama and hard work of school began. The planning stages were hectic just as planning for any other event, but the final product was awesome. I can’t say that all of our goals were reached, but I can confidently say it was a well-planned gig.

I wasn playing games ke, I was at the door collecting all the money…lol. Yea, we can play with all other things, not with money. I was the “beautiful, sexy bouncer”.

That was fun……and now on to the next one.














Bello Esempio @ Hipnotik 2014





Bello Esempio Promo Girls

Swazi Jive has done it yet once Hipnotik which is only the bet again. They have brought HIP HOP festival in the whole of Swaziland with performances by Reason, AKA, Da Les, Casper Nyoves, Kwesta, DJ Tendaness just to name a few.


Bello Esempio was there too, we were there as one of the 6 food stall owners. It was a fun, tiring experience. In the end we reached our goals with our pap, rolls, chakalaka and chicken dust. Our stall was buzzing with hungry hip hop lovers who couldnt get enough of our chicken dust. I don’t know what my cousin Banele put in that chicken, but whatever it is, it worked. As fun as it was…..eish, I cant say if wanna do this again next year…..lol
