For many years we have seen many beauty regimens and tips for women that involve multiple step beauty routines. When we take a look at men however, most have simple regimens and maintain a great outcome and simple. I have been lucky enough to have a few of them teach me how they achieve so much with very little effort and maximum effect.

NO DOUBT this is the most harsh time of my life as a woke adult to experience a pandemic. The effects on business, society, relationships and more, including travel is intense.
The hopelessness when it comes to travel plans and making life plans. Our hobbies have halted and our sense of being questioned by the lockdown.
I had booked a trip to Japan and planned my business around domestic and regional flights. It is with this I search for more meaning but also a way forward so here is my survival kit for general issues partaining to the disturbance.
Re-organise
I think the best way to cope is creating a system that is pandemic shockwave free as much as possible.
Reduce dependance on too many people in your daily life. For example if you source from Mbare for goods. Make sure you hoard as much to make it a monthly trip or less.
Go Digital
If you can offer your service online. Well that means you need to post content as much as possible to gain a following. A lot of consumers are online a lot. That also means increase digital marketing and paid advertising on social media as a lot of your clients are at home and online.
Plan ahead!
Be opimistic and have a plan as soon as lockdown is over how to plan your day and make up for lost time.
Get your refunds or rebook to invest
So that trip you planned is cancelled. Get a refund and SAVE THE MONEY. Make sure you do not spend recklessly. Take a portion and save it and the other invest in buying and reselling goods.
Stay smiling we can make it!

EMIRATES waiver policies puts clients anxiety due to COVID19 grounding lots of planes worldwide.
The world is at a standstill and a viral flu with lung implications, COVID19 means that airlines were grounded.
I had planned for a trip to Japan Tokyo and unfortunately had no idea how I was going to make up for the trip cancellation.
Good news is that across the network there is one precedent.
SUMMARY:
Simplifies waivers and refunds policy with one unified approach worldwide
Eases concerns about pre-booked summer travel by extending waiver policy to tickets issued before 31 May 2020, for travel before 31 August 2020
Offers three options:
“We sincerely hope that our customers will choose to rebook and fly with us again at a later time, and that is why we’re offering up to two years validity on their current tickets…

Emirates did the things and HAMBA can hook up
A Womens Day surprise awaited me this March as a goodie bag from the airline that connects the world.
The BVLGARI travel kit for toiletries was a pleasant surprise for me.
Remembering how HAMBA is inspired by travel I advise the following as wardrobe staples for a HAMBAstic travel.
We are ready to travel via Emirates hub Dubai in May with our travel kit and Hamba Accessories and Clothing. The convenience of transit is close to none for international travel.
Happy Future Travels!

Celebrating 11 March the Mashoeshoe Day…death of the first King of Lesotho nation. It was no surprise when our head tailor insisted to use shweshwe for his uniform bomber jacket. I believe staff should love to wear product too!
A brief historyof ShweShwe Fabric
In the 1840s, French missionaries gifted the Basotho Chief, King Moshoeshoe I indigo-printed cloth. Extremely pleased, the King endorsed the fabric and it spread in popularity throughout the Sotho and Zulu inhabitants of his domain. According to historians, the name ‘shweshwe’ derives from its royal influencer, King Moshoeshoe.
In 1858, Germans arrived at the Eastern Cape. They too brought indigo cloth. Xhosa women attending German missionaries adopted shweshwe and it gradually spread throughout the Xhosa people.

Harare, Zimbabwe – I always wonder if people have a plan when they reach their goal weight. The journey to your weight loss or fat loss target is an exciting one, unfortunately the biggest problem is “Then what?”
From experience how you transform is very important in the maintenance of the body and what your next goal is.
My goal was to shred and get smaller…my next goal was to build muscle and stamina…current goal is to refine my muscle and build strength. Again that is my choice, so it has to be clear what you want and how you intend to maintain.
Back to the issue on how you gained the body, from previous experience people who used fast track methods, testosterone boosts, fat burners while achieve results fast and perfected with the high level of training, gain the weight back once off it. The truth is train your body to increase the hormones for burning fat, be patient and consistent. Get to your body weight if you had the bare minimum can be adjusted. Gym fees have hiked, and if your gym was already crazy expensive… can you stay fit without that gym? Do you have alternatives?
Stay hydrated and consistent, build a sustainable lifestyle, not terrible habits! Abeg!

HARARE, Zimbabwe – The year is starting and I cannot contain how excited I am to be alive first and foremost and able to make great clothes that people love as well.
Last year I lost a very important part of my soul, grandma Josephine who was in full support for HAMBA from the time in Lilongwe. Being able to share the beauty of life through my art. I am truly grateful!
I therefore love how the bomber jacket has been my favourite piece from the beginning.
To date there are four versions of the bomber.
Version 1: It was lined in pongee and mainly had khakhi sleeves as the signature look the contrast was everything.
Version 3: Crop Bomber adds a different proportion for women to show their waist and less bulky look.
Version 4: Zipper bomber for extra security has zippers for pockets
We keep getting better and we keep making the all weather bomber jacket for everyone!
Update 2024
I still love the bomber JACKET!!!
