Mish gets medical assistance

It has been a while since I have posted on my blog. At the moment I am between a busy and an exciting place! I have been hard at work in the background trying to improve my life in order to impart authentic, real and healthy messages about a cultivating a positive body image. So I decided to take a bit of a detour but so stay tuned! What I have in store is going to be worth the sporadic posts which I am not fond of but will in the end lead to something I feel in my spirit is going to be HUGE!


The Detour!
I was invited by my friend Angie to join her at the Equinox Building to visit the doctor last week! Don't worry, I was not sick or in denial about being sick. Angie and I simply had the pleasure of being in the audience as part of The Dr Mol Show.

So what's up doc?
For those of you who do not know the show, The Dr Mol Show is a health and lifestyle show similar to The Dr Oz Show but homegrown, so you know what they say... Local is lekker! This show covers a wide range of topics from what to eat to stay in healthy to addressing issues like living with Diabetes and interesting topics like Sugar addiction (Which I didn't think was real but apparently is!). The show regularly does interviews with celebrities and sport personalities, including a host of leaders in a specific field to add value to the viewer experience.


What was it like?
It was an experience like no other. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. I grew up watching Michael Mol present on Top Billing, so you can imagine that I was a bit starstruck upon meeting this man. I have always dreamed of being a guest presenter alongside the likes of a Top Billing presenter! I mean... Living the good life for a day...

The show has an amazing crew Angie and myself were in stitches as their set manager cracked jokes on command to keep us entertained during the recordings which was from 09:00 until 13:00. Four shows where recorded and will be aired from the 14th of December. So if you want to catch a glimpse of Angie and the Mishtery, keep watching the show and you will see us!





Michael hand picked Angie and myself to be part of the show. I apologise in advance friends. I was honestly so nervous I got my guestimations in my insert so wrong! I had to guess how many calories in a single portion of fruit and chips etc. Angie completely rocked as she got 99% for her insert and getting almost every single question right! I loved it!

During our break we had snacks compliments of Kauai Seapoint on the set of Expresso Show overlooking the beautiful Mother City! We are so blessed!











After the break we were joined by cricketer, JP Duminy and his Wife Sue to talk about his injury and Dr Chris Barnard's granddaughter, Karen covering Sugar Addiction. Delightful!


Was there a goodie bag? 
Yes there was and it was packed full of fantastic Vital Foods products!

Here is the money shot! ;-)

I wanna live the best life! :)

Body Love: Happy distraction

image source

I switched on the radio on my way to work and had such a blissful drive. Why? Because I was singing along to tunes that tickled me happy. In that moment I forgot about the stress that awaited me at work or the traffic that was bumper to bumper. I just hummed and sang ever so falsely along to Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield.

So it got me thinking about body love... When I eventually got to work, I was still on such a high but then… Dun-dun-dun-dunnnn! I was brought back to earth by an alarming statistic I found during my research on body love... 97% of women will be cruel to their bodies today. This is horrifying! That means you will say or do something bad to your body and feel bad about yourself. This is not good at all.




This got me thinking of my feel good morning distraction. The music I was listening to was so uplifting and so invigorating that it made me happy from the inside out. So I asked some of friends to send me their favourite, get-out-of-that-rut-pick-me-up-tickle-me-better-feel-good-songs to share with you! Phew… What a mouthful.

Remember that if you feel good, it is easier to love. It is easier to be kinder. It is easier to make better choices. So with this in mind, when you start feeling down, play that pick me up song that gives you that burst of happiness. Press play and soak up that joy!

Here are a selection of songs from a few of my friends! Hopefully you will find your burst of happiness in here.

Don’t let anything or anyone steal your happiness.

This is my happy song during this week! 

A tune for everyone! Take your pick and enjoy!
