“The Lab” Mobile Massage in Port Elizabeth/ Gqeberha: Personalized Relaxation Delivered to You

August 25, 2024 by Heather Step 1 Comment

Looking for a massage therapist that will come to you? I attended an amazing launch of “The Lab” Mobile Massage Home of Beauty, and it was such a good experience. A spectacular setting (The Courtyard Hotel) yummy eats, good company and an amazing woman who is uplifting and supporting women to build and grow as massage therapists. Mobile Massage in Port Elizabeth/ Gqeberha has a great new option for you to support and get that much needed self care.

In South Africa today, it’s unavoidable to see the unemployment rate standing on the side of our streets. And then, if you go over to America, as I recently did, you’ll see the contrast with places “Now Hiring.”

That is why it was so inspiring to listen to Shaazia Soomar, who has experience in both the beauty and property business. She is training massage therapists not only in this skill, but in business, so that they can be successful.

“So we aren’t just giving someone a pebble, then saying “This is a pebble.” We’re giving them something that they can physically turn from lemons to lemonade, sell that, and in future educate other women. So today, we are standing in a small hall, which seems like a lot right now, but in ten years from now, this is going to feel like a stone compared to where we are going to be.

Watch what she said below, and you can also see it on Instagram.

Meeting Roch – Le Bloem from Algoa FM!

During the evening we also had some great speakers, including MC Roch-Le Bloem from Algoa FM who also encouraged us not to do things behind each other’s backs, “Rather uplift each other and empower each other.” (I was a bit star struck because I often listen to her when driving around! She does the 9am show.)

So now we know it’s an excellent cause, let’s look at what services The Lab provides.

Playing with balloons at the launch of The Lab Mobile Massage

I had a lovely foot massage by the amazing Alizwa. For some reason my feet just felt so stiff, so that was just what they needed. I really love foot massages.

They also had a bath of balloons which was a lot of fun to play in.

It was also amazing to meet a whole bunch of content creators!

So.. no more excuses to get that self care that you need. You’re doing it to help some very worthy women too.

What can I say about Rustenburg.. Rustenburg has What can I say about Rustenburg..

Rustenburg has massive mountains. They are beautiful, but difficult to climb.

The chess was challenging and Nicky got 4.5 out of 9 rounds, ending in 42nd position.

My hire car struggled up the hill and the clutch started smoking. After that I came early to make sure I got a parking spot at the bottom.

The electricity was intermittent. Out Guest house had a generator which they turned off at night so Nicky had to make do with a small portable fan.

Despite all this, we are grateful for precious moments which made this trip worthwhile.

Friends that we made and spent time with

Meeting your opponent that you just played at Nando's.

Jumping on trampolines and having fun at Sun City. I lay on the beach while Nicky and Deacon did the slides.

At the airport Nicky had fun walking both ways on the treadmill and Chelsea joined him too.

All in all I'm also super grateful that we made memories and to be home safe.

And the weight of making the right decisions for the right schools. 
While I’m drowning in applications and decisions, what is nice to know is that the Liberty financial adviser is there to chat to you and support you with their educational protection solutions.

Trials 1 done and dusted and Nicky came third. First time in the under 16s so not bad.

Would you like to create content but you lack foll Would you like to create content but you lack followers?

There is another option.

User generated content is where you produce content for brands, and it really doesn't matter how many followers you have. 

Lakeisha Mugo from Kenya has put together a UGC guide that will give you the plan that you need.

What I liked about this guide:
📱No fluff, real steps.
📱Great ideas for engagement and what really makes a thoughtful comment.
📱Loads of templates for everything including letters to brands and even for feedback on your work. 
📱Africa specific and relevant.
📱How to make sure that you charge according to the different levels of UGC

It's all up on the blog! So go ahead and read it.

It's that season where we are going around looking It's that season where we are going around looking at high schools.

I know. Time flies. How did we get here?

I loved the quotes on the walls and the art work of the students. If I had to do school again, I think I'd do more art and cooking.

What would you do?

Anyway, let's hope Nicky gets accepted somewhere for next year. These applications are a lot of work. But I've done 3 of them now. 

Nicky really likes this school. And of course he went straight for the chess.

Life in cartoon form. Ask Chat GPT to make a cari Life in cartoon form.

Ask Chat GPT to make a caricature of you based on what it knows about you. You'll get a better result if you tell it what you do. The first attempt was slide 2, it thinks I am a doctor. And I never ask it medical questions. 

Try it out and see what you get.

After working from my mom's home, I had a new appr After working from my mom's home, I had a new appreciation for my work space.

But I needed to do something different. I needed to turn it around for the light. But the alarm antenna stuck out in the corner.

I was busy doing a blog post on bringing nature into your home and I got inspired to put a green feature there and bring in two flower pots. I also got some baskets to clear the clutter.

You have the power to rewrite your story and create something beautiful.

You just need that push to start.

Consider yourself pushed!

Update on Survivor PE: We have intermittent water Update on Survivor PE: We have intermittent water but no power. Lastest news is we might have it by Thursday but I'm not holding my breath.
I wanted to do laundry today and brought the maid to my mom's house and everything but because it's a cloudy day the solar is only on two dots so we've got to conserve power.

#survivorpe #survivorgq #nopower #samomblogs #somewater
When the city tells you that you're not going to h When the city tells you that you're not going to have power for two weeks!

A huge pylon collapsed due to vandalism, wind and rust.

And then your water goes...

You freak out and then you make a plan.
For the first morning, I hot spotted.

Then in the afternoon I went to my mom to teach the rest of my classes.

Since then I have basically moved all my food over to her house and started cooking there as well. I'm also going there to charge everything.

There's no point even using the gas when all the food needs to be kept cold so it needs to be done in one place.

For the water, I now have a system. We flush the toilet with pool water. Wash ourselves and dishes with tank water. And drink from the little tank. 

Nicky has also adapted and is enjoying Granny's chairs.

Oh, and I've also been restyling furniture in my study. If the light is in front of me, it is better.  I've been dealing with work assessments. 

But we can't wait for the lights to come back on and running water.

Until then, I'm super grateful for family.
