Giveaway | Neon Run Cape Town

Hello sweets I know it has been a while and I too, am very disappointing in myself.  The truth is, I have been rather lazy lately and that lead to the lack of interest in the blog.  Anyhow, moving right along.

I recently discovered how fun running could be, along with the health benefits, I also found that it could possibly be the one thing I am actually good at. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying I could win the Old Mutual two oceans marathon but I am really good at it.  Anyway enough about me, as you may or may not have heard the Neon Run, South Africa’s most electric and glowing 5km run, is heading for the Mother City this Saturday the 10^th of May 2014 and I do not know about you but I for one am super excited.

The event will consist of a 5km fun run, through different glow zones, and will end in an electric music festival with entertainment by some of SA’s top artists including Chris Taylor, Dean Fuel, ShortStraw, The Kiffness and 5FM’s Roger Goode.

  Neon Run SA aims at bringing thousands of people of all ages and nationalities together under the night skies in one exciting and unique event.  It’s all about having fun and experiencing the Neon lifestyle, whether you are running, walking, skating, rollerblading or cycling as an individual or in a group.  Participants can look forward to several amazing light points with out-of-this world light displays, fire and poi dancers, food stalls and a fully stocked bar. There will also be plenty of seating for those who wish to rest their legs after the race.

Colourful glowing paint and glow sticks will be available at the event, and participants are encouraged to wear any colours that glow such as neon and whites - the crazier the better! There will be spot prizes on the day including a weekend away at the Fire & Ice 4 Star Hotel and other fantastic giveaways.

Neon Run also aims to spread the glow in SA and have announced Life Choices as their official charity partner – a vibrant Youth Organisation working in Cape Town. Sponsors of this fun-filled festival include, 5fm, DSTV, ABI, Coca-Cola, Powerade, Runner’s World and Planet Fitness.

ELLE Style Reporter blog party.

After months of a nationwide search for the next ELLE Style Reporter in association with BlackBerry, Cape Town’s Niquita Bento of Neck of the woods took the title and the opportunity to launch a new career at last night’s ELLE Style Reporter 2013 blog party in Cape Town. Film, fashion, design, photography, music and architecture shaped this year’s event where fashion’s conceptual visionaries Suzaan Heyns and Black Coffee exhibited their work and guests celebrated the new voices in local style reporting. I personally have been a great fan of her work from the first challenge, her work is minimal yet captures the elements of her surrounding so beautifully.

The Phenomenal Women Celebratory Dinner.

There are unique categories of women in the world, smart women, inspiring women, strong women and women who are on a journey to find their place in the world. Carducci women in association with the NYDA held a gala dinner at the One&Only hotel to celebrate such women.

It was an evening of glitz, glam and laughter as funny man Good hope FM's Carl Wastie played MC through the evening. The true gems, however were the phenomenal women who took on the stage to share their stories in matters relating to Investments, savings, the business of chocolate treats,make up tutorials  and ofcourse every women favorite subject fashion presented by Carducci women, showcasing office wear  with a rich heritage and powerful vision that celebrates the beauty of real woman.

The food was of course was nothing short of amazing, Just wished there was wine on the house to compliment the meal. The is absolutely no question that women are the pillars of this world with amazing powers to open doors of possibilities and opportunities, the phenomenal speakers on the night were a true testimony to that.

Csquared Flagship Store Launch.

#NB: This post might be long overdue.

 A while back I attended the flagship store launch of  the cutting edge menswear brand Csquared at Canal Walk. I arrived at the launch 2 hours late so there isn't much to tell from my side, however I truly hope the pics would tell 1000 words if not 999 words and if not see here for the low down.
