Meet Susann, a delightful micro-influencer with a heartwarming story and a passion for family, travel, and lifestyle content. Susann uses her platform to share her experiences, joys, and challenges as a wife, mother, and gardening enthusiast.
Susann’s life took a beautiful turn when she married her Irishman nearly 14 years ago.
Lexa, the eldest, is a shining star with a love for all things Barbie, glimmering and pink. She has even made her mark in the acting world with a commercial to her credit. Lily, the youngest, adores Spider-Man and is known for her adorable, albeit sassy, catchphrases like “I don’t know” and “go away mommy.” Despite her spunk, she never fails to melt hearts with her affectionate kisses.
Their family is completed by four fur babies – three black cats named Penny, Sandton, and Coco, along with a tabby named Spidey – adding a dose of feline charm to their lives.
Located in the vibrant city of Johannesburg, Susann and her husband have lovingly renovated a beautiful old house, creating a warm and inviting home for their family. Outside, Susann has nurtured her own cactus and rose garden, and she is currently exploring the art of vegetable gardening.
As a family, they love to explore the numerous local attractions, making the most of their surroundings and creating lasting memories together. Susann’s passion for Barbie has rubbed off on her children, and the little ones are equally enthusiastic about all things Disney and LEGO, further bonding the family through shared interests and experiences.
I’m into

- Snap, snap, snapping photos with my iPhone, Instax Mini or Instax Mini LiPlay
- Eating vegetarian 90% of the time – and love Fry’s as my junk food
- I love jewellery, sunglasses, handbags and jean pants (I have lots of jean pants)
My kids are into
- Barbie, Frozen (I don’t know how I let this happen), My Little Pony and so much more
- Hearing me say OUCH! after stepping on Lego
