Michelle D is a 34 year old “Boss Babe” as she likes to call herself; a former TV Presenter & Model, an all-round coffee lover and dog-mom! This dynamic lady grew up on stage and behind the camera. From TV presenting jobs, to modelling, Michelle was born to be in the spotlight. In 2012, Michelle decided to take her love of shopping and her obsession with handbags and turn it into a business, Macaroon Collection. Tell us about your company Macaroon Collection? Macaroon Collection brings the best of South African designer jewellery, handbags and travel bags to those who seek to make a statement. We are especially proud to be the store of choice when buying premium leather bags. We strive to support our local entrepreneurs and designers by stocking locally produced ranges, thus making our store a complete collection of home grown products - and we promise to bring our clients so many more exciting ranges. Macaroon Collection is all about finding that singular item which is an indulgent expression of a person’s personality. You are a former TV presenter, and model - what made you give up a life in the entertainment industry? Life is about choices – I absolutely LOVED the time as a kid on TV. Was back in the days before SABC. And I remember running around in the wardrobe room, recording the songs we sang in the studios, etc. Had SO MUCH FUN. But in Grade 2 it came to light that I had a severe dyslexia, and my parents decided that it was more important for me to focus on my occupational therapy and remedial (a girl has to learn to read after all) than that of a TV career. I continued with my performing arts as extramural activities though. When it came time to study, I felt a good education was irreplaceable and I pursued on my BCom degree with great focus. And then went straight into starting up my wedding planning business BUT the entertainment industry always called me back. Between ad-hoc modelling jobs and TV presenting opportunities that came my way I decided to enjoy whatever crossed my path. And now …. another great opportunity has come my way again and I am thrilled to be back behind the cameras again. What makes the fashion industry one that you enjoy? I have had a thing for shopping since I was a teen. I don’t know what it is but shopping and fashion just gets me all excited. I do not by any means consider myself a fashionista but I think it has to do with pretty things. I also enjoy the pace of it – the new trends that come out with every season. I love the way it evolves from season to season (that which is bubbling under the surface this season just explodes the next). I love collaborating with the designers I work with – gauging what the consumers are liking, what is not so hot any more … what is happening the Europe and what will trickle into our industry here. And then I have to say that I love working with clients – it is so interesting to me to see how tastes differ. What I like compared to what the client likes, and also the difference from one client to the next. As our philosophy at Macaroon Collection goes … Macaroon Collection is all about finding that singular item which is an indulgent expression of a person’s personality” and I truly do enjoy that adventure of finding that item for each and every client. Describe a typical day in the life of Michelle? Typically I start my day off with a coffee (a good cuppa sets the tone for a good day). I then check my morning mails and get myself out of the house and to the office. A large part of my working day is admin and client relations – getting orders out, helping clients who pop by the showroom, managing stock arrivals, meeting suppliers to view ranges, etc. There is never a dull moment when it comes to my work life – and there is never a day that is the same. After a busy day at the showroom, I look forward to going home and going for a run. Nothing clears the mind (and stirs up the idea machine) like a good run. I then typically spend some time in the garden with my dogs and then either cook up something for dinner or catch up with a friend over a glass of wine. When did you first discover your passion for fashion and accessories? As I mention, I have always loved shopping. For my 16th birthday my mom spoilt me and took me shopping at the newly renovated Menlyn Shopping Centre. It was one of the best birthdays I ever had. And I think it kind of bit me there. Handbags and shoes is where my passion lead to and when I decided to move out of the wedding industry, the natural progression was to take my obsession with bags and turn it into a business. Where do you import your products from? I try not to import. 90% of my products are LOCAL entrepreneurs and I am proud to say so. All my bags I currently stock, as well has my clothing ranges, are all local. There are a few industries that still need some development in RSA. For example, the shoe industry. Leather shoe manufacturing has grown nicely over the last few years and I am so excited about that. But, I do stock HUNTER boots and FITFLOP. Both imported but both quality products with no comparative brands made in South Africa. We have such amazing talent and brands from South Africa and I like to support and promote our local products before I consider an imported competitor. Do you believe running an online business requires specialised skills? I don’t believe you need a special skill set to run an online business. I have designed and managed my website / online store in-house. Everything I know about my business has been self-taught. And if I didn’t know something, I made it my business to research it or find someone who does know and ask them. I do believe that what a person does need, and this is for any business, is passion and perseverance. If you have those two traits you can make a success of anything. What are some of the challenges faced within the online business industry? Within my business I find two challenges 1. Our online industry is still very under developed. Only a few years ago when people found out that I had an online shop they would ask me “do you make money that way”. It was just the other day that online shopping was still a very abstract concept in South Africa. It is growing nicely and I am very excited to see where it is going. But South Africans are still very cautious when it comes to online shopping. I still often get client who don’t like the idea of putting their credit card details into the payment gateway when having to pay and I do get phone calls from people first wanting to verify “that we are a legitimate company” and not a scam. So TRUST is an issue holding the industry back from its full potential. 2. Sadly – life would be so much easier for the online industry if we had a reliable and efficient postal system. Abroad you order something and it gets delivered by the postal service within a day or two. Here unfortunately we don’t trust the postal service and thus rely heavily on courier companies – and courier is unfortunately more expensive. Would you ever consider going back into television? Of course yes – in a heartbeat! Which local or international TV star do you admire, and why? Reece Witherspoon – I just love her career progression. From child actor to movie (and now TV) star, producer, mom and all round super woman. She just proves that with passion and hard work (and the right people by your side) you can do everything and anything. What advice would you give to someone wanting to start an online business? Decide what excites you – if you are not passionate about what you are selling online you have made your first mistake. Secondly, start small … even amazon started small. And lastly, know that it is not an overnight success story. What is one item you never leave the house without? My lip gloss (yes such a girl thing). Lastly, what is one must-have fashion accessory for summer? Sunscreen … if I have to be responsible. Your face is an investment. I never leave the house without my CF Suncare! But, if I have to be a fashionista – a good big pair of tassel earrings.

Thule, maker of premium products to help you transport anything you care for safely, easily and in style has introduced their first collection of hard shell luggage, Thule Revolve focuses on durability and ease of use and features a durable construction and maximized packing space for effortless navigation. Combining over 75 years of product engineering of metal and plastics with a world-class design team, the result is a modern, compelling collection, focused on durability and ease of use. Thule Revolve, offered in four spacious sizes and three stylish colours – Black, Blackest Blue and Raven Grey - is perfect for the frequent traveller. The exclusive Thule designed 8-wheel system for easy navigation, along with its durable construction is a balance of form and function that results in a stylish collection focused on everyday use and design aesthetics that are built to last. Effortless Navigation Designed for life on the go, the Thule Revolve collection features a telescoping handle to minimise sway and efficiently transfer power to the wheels. The oversized rear wheels easily glide over any terrain, from carpet to cobblestone, providing effortless navigation from the very first step. Durable and Safe Construction Made in Europe from 100% virgin polycarbonate, Thule Revolve is a lightweight, stylish and impact-resistant luggage collection that is designed to last. Able to stand up to the rigors of travel, internal corner protectors, a rigid frame and a reinforcing front panel are added protection for every trip. Valuable contents stay secure during travel with TSA locks and puncture-resistant zippers backed by a solid inner frame. Maximum packing space All your belongings are protected while traveling with the custom fitted, felt liner that keeps contents in place while maximizing packing space. Leave nothing behind thanks to the smaller recessed front wheels on the exterior that increase packing space inside the suitcase. The new Revolve Collection consists of: - Thule Revolve Global Carry-On 55cm/22” - Thule Revolve Wide-body Carry-On 55cm/22” - Thule Revolve Luggage 68cm/27” - Thule Revolve Luggage 75cm/30” Hard-shell suitcases offer numerous benefits, including:  Security Hard-shell suitcases reduce the chances of theft (case slitting) or anyone adding something to external pockets of your luggage.  Lightweight yet strong Polycarbonate luggage is lighter than plastic or aluminium cases, and can be even lighter than some soft luggage. It offers the added benefit of a rigid frame and (usually) four wheels, which means navigating a busy airport is much easier, plus better for your back.  Protection The resilience of hard-shell suitcases offers better impact resistance during the rigors of travelling − if your case is dropped or thrown onto hard surfaces − particularly for fragile or valuable items.  Durability Hard-shell suitcases are much easier to keep dry in rain, snow or puddles and provide better protection against general spills and accidents.  Versatility Most hard-shell suitcases feature a 50/50 split opening, where you pack two sides equally and stabilise the contents with a middle divider or strap; this allows for minimal rifling through your bag, as you can pack similar items together.

Tell us how the Learn to Read, Learn to Lead concept came about? I have always had a passion for education and giving back. I find it so important for everyone to have access to equal education opportunities. However, I noticed that there were many children, even young adults, who are illiterate and that is how the “Learn to Read, Learn to Lead” idea was born. The name represents young children of today, becoming leaders of the future. This project is a way of connecting both my passion for giving back along with education. What inspired this campaign? My passion for education, as well as empowering the youth of today would be the inspiration behind the campaign. It’s vital that we all play a role in making the world a better place and this is my way of making a difference. I recently sat in Parliament at the National Youth Summit and heard children as young as 10 years old ask the ministers for equal education opportunities – and that is the moment I realised we actually have a huge educational gap in South Africa and “Learn to Read, Learn to Lead” is an attempt to bridge that gap for all South Africans. As a young woman, why is this initiative important to you? There are so many female leaders of today, such as Rolene Strauss, Rachel Kolisi, JoAnne Strauss, Elana Afrika, and Batsetsana Kumalo, who are recognized for their continuous charity work and for making a difference in the South African youth and I aspire to follow in their footsteps and make a difference. Being a woman I think it’s important to stand together, empower each other and uplift our youth who is the future of tomorrow. As the face of the “Learn to Read, Learn to Lead” initiate, what role do you play? I am the author, designer, and face of the “Learn to Read, Learn to Lead” book series, whilst my younger sister did all of the illustrations. It is a true family affair. When did this initiative officially start? I have been working on this project for quite some time as I wanted it to be perfect, however, it officially launched in July (2018) at the Nasdak venue, with the help from Rachel Jafta. Rachel Jafta is co-founder, director and chairperson of Econex. She is a Professor in Economics at the University of Stellenbosch. Our next step is to get the books into various book stores and to sell as may copies as possible as the profits go towards The Nelson Mandela Childrens Fund and the Child Welfare Tswhane Fund. Tell us about the book design and mascot - why did you go with that particular storyline and characters? I believe ‘local is lekker’ so when creating the storyline and characters I tried my best to embrace the beauty of South Africa. I wanted everyone to be able to relate to the story and characters. The story is set in a South African location. A lot of colours were used throughout the book as to represent our Rainbow Nation and also as to make it more fun for the children. Each book has a theme in the beginning that continues throughout the book. But most importantly, there is an educational section within the book that actually teaches the children how to read and write – in this section repetition was used to make it easier for the children. They also used very simple and basic English sentences throughout the book which is beneficial for each child wanting to learn how to read. The mascot and main character’s name is Tata, named after the late Nelson Mandela’s nickname. Nelson Mandela’s quote; “Education is the most powerful tool one can use to change the world” is what inspired this campaign and is why I decided to name the main character after him. I wanted to create a character that each individual in South Africa can relate to and not be aimed at a specific race or culture this is why Tata is a little rainbow creature (again, representing all of the Rainbow Nation, I made him a little alien that came from space because children are very interested in outer space now days).“ The books are part of a series? Yes, there will be more than one book, the first book that was launched was called “How Tata gets his name and how Tata learns to read”. This book focuses on reading and writing skills. The second book will be about counting and dealing with everyday situations, such as bullying. The second book is set to be released around Feb/March this year. 50% of the net profit from the book is split equally to go towards the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund and the Twshane Child Welfare Fund. Why did you select these beneficiaries? These are two organisations that are doing amazing things to help our youth. Nelson Mandela’s dream was to improve education in our country and I felt it would only be right to give back to one of his organisations, especially since the main character was also named after him. It is my way of building on the legacy of Nelson Mandela. The Twshane fund has always been close to my heart and I admire the work they do for the children- giving back to them was my way of showing that their work doesn’t go unrecognized. The remainder of the profits from the books will go towards converting and setting up shipping containers into classrooms and libraries to put in areas that lack educational facilities. The book was recognized in Parliament when you were invited to the National Youth Summit - tell us more about this? In June 2018, I was invited to the National Youth Summit at Parliament in Cape Town, where I was able to speak about the “Learn to Read, Learn to Lead” project and also gain insight on all the things the youth wanted to be addressed by the government, one of the main issues being equal education opportunities. It was truly an honor to have been invited and will definitely remain one of my highlights. You received the Young Leader in Philanthropy award - when was this and what was the requirements in order to receive this award? This award was given to me by the CEO of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund at the National Youth summit that I was invited to. The award is aimed at recognizing a “Nelson Mandela in every generation” it is about an individual that is doing good for their community and giving back. This year was even more special as it was also the century celebration for Nelson Mandela. Which area/school did you kick off the campaign? At the launch of the first book I, along with Professor Rachel Jafta, handed over 40 books to teacher Danel Schoombee from a primary school in Delft, Western Cape. Danel teaches at Kairos Primary School in an area where there is a very high crime rate and she is actually at risk going to work every day however, she continuously provides for her children in her classroom, she even buys them stationery from her own salary. She brings any books she has for their little library corner as the children thoroughly enjoy reading. I got amazing feedback that the children really enjoyed reading the books. Where do you see this project going in 2019? I see the books being sold in bookstores and the profits going towards the beneficiaries. I am hoping that this year there will be sponsors coming on board to also help with the converting of shipping containers. My dream is to give each child an equal opportunity to learn to read. How can people get involved? Anyone is welcome to purchase a book that costs R170, people can also get in touch with regards to sponsoring books for an underprivileged school/area or even help with the converting of shipping containers into classrooms (even sponsoring a container). I would also love for people to get in touch by letting us know in which areas the books would be needed. Where can people follow this movement?

We have seen what disasterous effects plastic has on our ocean life, the state of our seas and the entire eco system. Somehow by now, we would imagine that we would have made the change to better the state of our plastic foot print to assist in the recovery and saving of our oceans for our future generations. What are we going to tell our grand children when we talk about the mighty blue whale, the little sea horse or the stunning but scary squid, that no longer exist, because we continued to put our heads in the sand and do nothing about our plastic and pollution problems in our oceans, rivers and beach fronts? No, we cannot let it get to that point! We need to take a stand, say #NOTHANKS to the plastic straws, non recyclable bags and any non biodegradable products. Many stores and restaurants have opted to change up their starw policies and have brought in bamboo, metal and even paper straws. But what do you do when there isnt another option? You simply take out your #Silistraw from your bag and use it, knowing that you have done your part in making a difference. Here some scary facts for you: Let's talk about Silistraw.

Let’s face it, realistically, things seem to constantly be getting more and more expensive and our wallets seem to be getting emptier and emptier. Gone are the days when splurging was a common luxury. However, saving money is a realistic way of making sure your future is secure, and sometimes the hardest thing about saving money is just getting started. We caught up with Professional Rugby Player, Andries Ferreira and got his best “money-saving” advice. YOUR TOP MONEY-SAVING TIP -  What money saving tip do you implement into your everyday life? Never go shopping when you feel emotional or never go shopping when you’re hungry – you’ll just land up spending unnecessary money on non-essentials or over-indulging! YOUR TOP BARGAIN BUY ADVICE  - What bargain buy product or items do you use to save money, that you find are still good quality? I never buy just because it’s a bargain, and I don’t like standing in a long queue. We also buy in bulk at Makro because it’s much cheaper and we’ve come across some great specials for big kitchen and home appliances that area already a few years old and still in mint condition. MONEY SAVING ADVICE - What advice would you give to people wanting to start saving money for their future? Start today... it doesn’t matter how little you put in every month it’s just getting into the habit of saving! By the end of the year a little becomes a lot! Remember, saving money has to be at the top of your priorities before you’ll see any results!
