Fabulous Female of the Week - Allegro

My Fabulous Female of the week is....



Allegro

 Allegro - owner of Orgella Online. She is not just a pretty face but has the brains, the personality, the faith, and of course she is a hard worker.

My first encouter with Allegro was last year. She inspired me (Still does too). The way this lady carries herself!!! Haaa!!! Makes me want to be a better lady.



Beauty

 Orgella Online is one of South Africa's biggest and most respected blogs. She is the brainchild of the blog and thus far she is backed by major leading brands in SA such as Avon, Fabro Sanz, Ice Watch and soon will probably be backed by more *Hint Hint* lol! 

Please view her website here: Orgella Online

I'm glad to say I know her, she's a huge inspiration!!
Love you Darl!!**

Samkelo Ndlovu



Samu

 So i've realised that a lot of people think i'm crazy because of the way I go on and on and on AND ON about Samu on Twitter. Yes i'll admit i'm part of Team Samu who knows... Maybe I created that twitter account for her *Giggles & Looks Away* 

So many of you don't realise how hard she's worked to get to where she is today. She didn't just magically land a role on Generations or Inkaba. I did some research just to show you that this lady is more than beauty, she's a hard worker, a survivor, and a very talented actress! 

Here's here bio:

CREATIVE RECREATION ANNOUNCES ITS FIRST SOUTH AFRICAN AMBASSADOR

  Creative Recreation was officially launched in California in the United States in late 2002. With their range always having an emphasis on style, times and affordability, the brand is all about staying fresh and new.   

The brand has grown from an idea between two friends to a worldwide phenomenon, including stores all over Europe, The U.K, America, Canada, Australia and now South Africa.



Blayze & Pearl Thusi



Creative Recreation believes in keeping things fresh! The very reason they asked, Blayze aka Dylan King, artist and owner of Blayze Entertainment, a record label which have hip-hop, afro-pop and house producers signed under the label, to be their brand ambassador.

Blayze’s decision to leave the safety net of the corporate world was a tough one but probably one of the most emotionally rewarding decisions he says he ever made. “Life’s short, you need to experience all that you can, pursue what you are passionate about and take risks. If you don’t, you’ll never know”. Blayze’s life maxim is Dream Big Hustle Hard, and he’s always strived to be successful at everything he’s put his mind to and this endeavor is no different.

 

Daniel Kerdachi, owner of Creative Recreation in South Africa says: “Blayze has the personality, charisma, and entertainment prowess to fit the Creative Recreation brand. As our footwear styles are always fresh and new, they emit Life with Style, and thus Blayze was chosen. Blayze is a guy who can show South Africans how to live our brand.”

Blayze was unveiled as the brand’s ambassador at an invite only event with Mzansi’s whose who, on Tuesday 20^th March at Acorn

Lane in Sandton, Johannesburg. Blayze says “It feels really great

that Creative Recreation has recognized me as their ambassador

and feels me worthy enough to align their brand to mine.

Creative Recreation will provide a copy of Blayze Entertainment’s mixtape with every pair of Creative Recreations sold countrywide.
