The Sp_ce

The Sp_ce recently re-opened at a new location in Ballantyne Park. The Sp_ce is referred to as a ‘resto lounge’ and it houses within it, a Be_uty Bar, Coffee Bar…(that serves delicious craft coffee) a Bar (where alcohol and other beverages are served), a Library, the Gugu Intimates shop, rails featuring various designer’s work, lovely seating areas on the veranda and much more. I love the Sp_ce, I think they have done an amazing job of designing a place where a person can enjoy good food, fashion, beauty, art and literature much more...

The entire place is tastefully decorated and the ambiance and vibe is just so on point.

Recently, they hosted the grand opening for the Gugu Intimates shop and the Beauty Bar. I made time to be there because I have been following the progress of Gugu and her line of nude underwear that caters for women of colour and I was impressed by the concept and her courage to execute it. I took a friend along and I also met a lot of interesting people and old friends


Beyond this, last weekend, I went for a manicure at the Be_uty Bar…and it was a great experience…The Be_uty Bar has an amazingly tranquil atmosphere… and friendly staff

ISU Collections: Brunch & Shop

Last weekend, ISU Collections…whom I wrote about in an earlier blog… hosted a Shop and Brunch Garden session event.  ISU Collections is a contemporary shop that retails African inspired  products by local designers. The event was a celebration of celebrated their 1st Birthday. I have been following their progress and I have been attending their events since they started when they were still on Glenara Avenue.  Thankfully despite numerous rainy days, the actual day of the event was a warm sunny day. There were stalls where ISU Collections designers showcased their products, live music was playing( Vee Mukarakate, Prayersoul and the Monkey nuts) there were food stalls…overall a lovely creative vibe.   It was great to meet the actual designers, see more of their work and enjoy the party!
