GM is leaving the country and its the end of an era with Stuttafords (and lots of people losing their jobs). The Cape region has had major storms, Knysna burnt and the rest of the country shivered. If you feel like you want to donate towards rebuilding Knysna there is a fundraising site and a few different causes you can support to:
- Knysna Animal Welfare Society
- Miss South Africa is also raising funds for the Garden Route
- Browse all the causes
When I look at the donations made – I know that in this country we still care. We are proudly South African with heart.
Plus Baby Dove just launched and I will have something about it up on the Goddess Blog soon. I use Dove soap for my face – and I swear by it, because you will never guess my real age just by looking at me. So maybe Lexa will stay young forever with Baby Dove.
I also just came back from Zanzibar. WOW what a vibrant island nation and definitely a must-visit if you want to get out of the country but don’t feel like spending too much money. I have some photos up on my instagram/susanndeysel and instagram/goddesscoza. I will be loading more pics this weekend as I landed in Jozi, grabbed car keys and headed off to KZN for a funeral.
I feel like I need a getaway after Zanzibar and KZN. It has been non-stop go-go-go!
Wonder Woman hit the big screen!
If you haven’t yet seen Wonder Woman… you are missing out. It was literally the best superhero movie I have ever seen (and I’ve seen them all). She is such a great role model for all women.
Explore Limpopo
I grew up in Limpopo and I love taking my husband to all the amazing spots. In December I went to Limpopo and visited the Modjadji Rain Forest, the big Baobab that has now finally caved in completely and also a historic house.

Pay it forward…
