Feb 21, 2017 | ,

In 2016, Visa launched Visa Checkout in South Africa, designed to make purchasing online easier as well as secure. Security continues to be a factor that makes us uncomfortable about buying things online, especially from a South African context. In a study by Effective Measure, sponsored by IAB South Africa and Visa: 53% of those who don’t buy online said they did not trust online payments indicated zero liability or some form of online protection as a motivating factor to engage in more online shopping. 58% say a delivery payment option would motivate them to do more online payments; 48% of...

Win: The Exclusive The Glenlivet Legacy Series

Sep 29, 2015 |

Example. This is what so many of us need. No human being is perfect yet there is still much to be gained from insights into another person’s journey – their choices, their actions, etc. We are each on our own path, responsible for the trajectory of our life but in the words of Otto van Bismarck, “the wise man learns from the mistakes of others.” Sometimes, you just want to hear someone else’s story to confirm that you are on the right track, or simply as inspiration to help you to continue to drive forward in those moments when your motivation is flagging. It’s also important to understand...

Win Tickets to ‘Inside Out’ Premiere

Jun 9, 2015 | ,

There’s nothing like having children to force you to tap into your inner child and stare her in the eye. And, finding the fortitude to watch the same programming or read the same book over and over again. There was a point in my life when I could recite the whole of Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham without having to look at the book. I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living; it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities. -Theodor Seuss Geisel With the...

Win Internet Security Solution From Kaspersky Labs

Jan 22, 2015 | ,

We use different devices daily. We do banking and buy products and services, sharing credit card and bank details on multiple sites and apps. Security has improved and many sites have relatively secure login processes, but, there are those who spend as much time looking for ways to circumvent our device security. It is also, often, a mission to ensure that each device we have is secure – perhaps your PC or Mac is covered but your tablet is at risk. Or, your tablet is sorted but your smartphone isn’t. It may not be the most scientific approach but I have always tried to ensure that my spaces...

Win Luggage Worth R11,000 With Club Med

Sep 3, 2014 |

Last year, I went on a rare holiday with my family to Club Med’s La Plantation D’Albion resort in Mauritius. Since that trip, my kids have been hounding me regularly to find out when we are doing a Club Med holiday again and where we are going to next – I’m thinking Bali or China. We did a week last year and are thinking 14 days of doing absolutely nothing might be the better way to go. It took two days for my mind to recognise that we were on holiday and what it meant. This week, Club Med is running a competition in South Africa in which the prize is Samsonite luggage worth R11,000. Having...
