Luxury with Cape Town Diamond Museum!

Last Friday the Cape Town Diamond Museum treated a few bloggers, including myself to a day of luxury. It was a day of sightseeing and decadence! The Cape Town Diamond Museum located at the Clock Tower at the V&A Waterfront. The only one of its kind in the Mother City!

Drinks and lunch by Jason Bakery

First stop:  Truth Coffee Cult where we had a session with David Donde! A man who is passionate about coffee! Beyond their top class cuppa, the décor of this place is a factory for the imaginative. We were treated to a coffee tasting. Something this Mishtery has never tried but highly recommends! This is the Truth, no sugar required! This amazing coffee haven is located at Prestwich Memorial on the corner of Buitengracht Street and Somerset Road.

Careful, crossing the road!



I love the interior!

First you break it! Then you smell it! Then you slurp it!

Using the bikes as decor! Clever! I want an Ubuntu bike!

Second stop: The Lindt Chocolate Studio where we had the pleasure of meeting Dimo Simatos. Dimo is a Lindt Chocolatier, who is regarded as one of the finest pastry chefs in South Africa. The Lindt Chocolate Studio is located at Cape Quarter, 72 Waterkant Street, de Waterkant.

Here lives chocolate!
Chef Dimo Simatos
I am as puzzled as you are.

Third stop: Champers on arrival, fire and scintelation with diamonds and sushi by Sevruga. Fantastic. A heartfelt thank you to Mr Yair Shimansky for this experience!  



Pongracz upon arrival!



Where the magic happens.

About 500 carat Tanzanite... If I am not mistaken.

I guess, you'd say... What can make me feel this way? A MyGirl diamond with 47 facests. :-)

My Two-point-something ring for a couple of seconds! Ah, to be able to afford this ring!

Mishtery Designs for rising Hiphop star!

Last year an exceptional hiphop artist briefed me to design his album art. What an honour! This conscious artist's love for the human race, its struggles, triumphs and life lessons are brought to life and packaged as Legkaart: Die Kruis & die Kroon. This debut album contains songs written to inspire and to affect the human fibre in such a way that you have no choice but to roll up your sleeves and make a difference.

This is arguably, Kaapse Afrikaans at it's absolute best. Lutron surpassed estimated sales and has been placed at number one on the Hiphop charts on GoodhopeFM for his single, Kalsium for a number of weeks.

His album is available at African Music Store in Long Street, Cape Town. For the real hiphop heads this album delivers every time you press play! Follow Chase Lutron on Twitter: @ChaseLutron

This project contains a great combination of positive spirit and great writing skills. I really value Chase Lutron's attitude and attention to detail in his lyrics. Hip hop needs this kind of energy, right now. ~ Shaheen of Prophets of the City

“Ek het Chase Lutron se album Legkaart vir 2 weke op rotation gehou om verseker te maak dat ek niks gemis het ie. Sy rymklets skills, diep lyrical content en flow maak hom een van'ie beste Afrikaanse MCs. These days is it difficult om daai combination te kry, especially die diep content en 'n MC wattie bang is om sy hart oppie CD te expose nie. Thanks bra, ek is 'n fan. My favourite tracks are "Vlugsout", "Sit it Da", "2 Gesig", "Veg vir die lug", "7580%","Legkaart", "Kalsium", ... YOR! kwaai album my bru” ~ Emile Jansen of Black Noise

Legkaart -Kruis en die Kroon Album by Chase Lutron is a generous 21 track offering with production duties shared by seven producers.

The album carries a clear message of hope without sounding preachy or sacrificing listenability yet its hallmark is how it aligns with the values behind the activity of Project Break Free – a youth outreach program of which Chase is a member.

As difficult as it is to pick a favourite track, there’s brilliance in the anthemic REEN, the radio friendly KALSIUM and HOU MOED. This is Hip Hop you can enjoy with your kids around. A must buy.
