BIANCA
BOTHA
OWNER,
The one question people ask me frequently is "do
you really do all of this for your mom?" and for a
few years I said yes without thinking about it at all.
In 2019, I was asked this same question again, and
my honest reply was, "Yes, but I also do this for
myself" and she continued asking the question that
followed "why do you say so?"
LYMPHATICA
The answer came to my mind quite easily, although Lymphatica is a legacy in honour of
my late mom Jackie who had to live with a long, painful illness called Lymphadema,
Lymphatica just as much changed my life. I never knew that deep inside me I have so
much empathy for the world, I really feel emotions like I feel with touch, with lymphatic
therapy.
A good friend of mine, phoned me a few days before my 28th birthday in early January
and she said to me "you have accomplished so much already" and to which I
responded, "I don't want to be known for my accomplishments, I want to be known for
changing at least one person's life in a day through spreading lymphatic knowledge".
I am without a doubt proud of my achievements
and accomplishments, thinking back to the days
where I was a reception lady doing health and
safety files, I didn't know what my purpose was in
life, and by God's grace and a lot of faith, I can say I
am living the dream.

lymphatic knowledge"
Lymphatica started off with a different name, for some reason MldCentreSA was the
first choice, but after major internal growth and international recognition I made the
conscious decision to change the name that will one day be a brand, or even the name
on top of a lymphatic educational facility. I wanted a name that will be rememberd in
years to come as the name that changed the struggle to hope, for those living with any
lymphatic health deficiency. We are now renowned for our informative Facebook page
and life changing therapies we offer.

What did I achieve since the start?
I really don't have enough fingers to count the phenomenal moments I've had this far,
but I type this smiling, with my heart filled with gratitude.
Lymphatica, truly was a small seeded dream,
one that I never knew would blow into what it is
today, but I call her my blessing. I have trained
with world renowned lecturers like Devin de
Kock from Balancing touch and Carolyn
Hoffman, I've even traveled to countries like
Paris and Prague for training and education. In
November 2019, I was blessed and left the
South African shores for a few weeks to go
further my studies in the UK. I had the privilege
to stand alongside the professors from Oxford Lymphoedema Practice in a theater in
The Manor Hospital in Oxford London where a LVA Surgery was performed. I continued
my UK education journey where I met my role model Sally Kay and completed my
training in Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD). During my visit in the UK I also furthered
my education in the lymphatics by undergoing Manual Lymphatic Drainage training at
The London School of Massage.
Everyone always asks me what my biggest achievement is, and while boasting inside of
me, I must say being accepted into the Immunology Sciences Course through Harvard
Medical School (HMX Program) is still and will always be a highlight of my career. And,
yes, I am not done yet.
As for what's next, for now, at least for the next few weeks, I am
just taking everything in that this journey has been. I’ve had the
absolute honour of taking home the Judges Choice Awards for
Passion & Commitment in Business at the Woman @ Breakfast
awards evening in 2019. Alongside that, another absolute honour
is to be a Finalist in the Health Care category for the Woman Of
Stature Awards that will be hosted in March 2020.
My journey now, and where I am, is to work on my faith and know my worth in the
community as a female business owner, grow my practice and spread education.

I truly believe that I went to the ends of the world for the best
possible education in lymphatic therapy which I now offer to
my patients and clients. I can say with so much joy, that my
practice does offer different types of lymphatic therapy
available only at Lymphatica. I will further my studies and I
soon hope to publish my own MLD method. I am also aiming
to make South Africa the next home for Reflexology Lymph
Drainage and hope to work alongside Sally Kay to educate
people on the treatment and outcomes. My heart rejoices
when I say that I want to change the Lymphatic Education in
South Africa for anyone from all walks of life living with any
lymphatic related conditions. My biggest achievement will one
day be, when anyone and everyone understand the importance of the lymphatic system
and when people living with lymphoedema is shown the compassion, care and love they
deserve. We will soon be launching our foundation in aid of assisting people living with
lymphatic related conditions with affordable treatment and/or receiving their muchneeded
treatment through the foundation.

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Organizer
written by Melissa Muirfield
The past decade has seen life become increasingly sophisticated yet far less labor
intensive for most of us. If you want to get and stay ahead, make use of professional
organizer services, or what I call ‘efficiency services’.
We outsource more and more tasks in our
home to other companies just as if our home
life was a business. A few of the efficiency
services that you probably use include:
Delivery services, car wash, launderette,
various home maintenance, etc.
Now more of us can afford for those chores to
be taken care of by others, what is left for us
to do? How can we use our money to
maximize the opportunity of our time? That is
where professional organizers come in.
Imagine what a professional organizer working for you could do for you personal
organization. Everything comes from organization. As a professional organizer I consult
with many people to organize everything in their life, organize goals, organize home,
organize time, etc. I have chosen three core tips to help you choose a professional
organizer that is suitable for you personally.
This may seem strange but I believe the skill of listening is one of the most important
that a good professional organizer can have. If the professional organizer can not fully
and completely listen to everything you are about and where you are coming from they
will never be able to take you to a level of personal organization that satisfies you.

Choosing a professional organizer can be a cause for anxiety itself, which defeats the
point of organization services. So here are some key insider tips from a professional
organizer, on how you can choose a good professional organizer for your own style and
way of doing things.
Make a list of 10 or so professional organizers by doing a search online or in
a phone directory. Contact them by phone or email and let them know you
are contacting 9 others to find one suitable for you. This lets them know
they can not ‘hard sell’ you.
Take a look at their website, read some of their articles, and read their reply
email or hear them out by phone. Tell them you still have the others to
contact before making your decision. A good professional organizer will
approve of your organized approach.
On your check list you need to score them on ‘How good they listen to you
and hear you out’. ‘How interesting and thoughtful their products and
articles are’. ‘How their email response made you feel about them’.
Those three factors alone will give you enough to be able to at least make a short list
and might allow you to choose a professional organizer in no time at all.
In modern life I believe time becomes so precious to the potential of opportunities and
experiences life has to offer. Using a professional organizer will allow you to maximize
the life opportunities you can take advantage of.

The SwaaV Story
After leading a UN Research project for 10 months I was exhausted and sleep deprived.
After submitting my report, my sleeping pattern was so disrupted that nothing could
assist me to sleep, so I decided to travel to Lagos Nigeria.
Lagos was like no place I had ever been to. It was humid, overly crowded, chaotic and
was bustling with energy I’d never experienced before. I instantly fell in love with the
pulsating energy of the city.
The following day I was taken to the market place by my host
and I was welcomed by a medley of colour and vibrance, I, to
this day fail to encapsulate in words. The colours dazzled my
senses, evoking both excitement and disbelief. Everything
was so beautiful. My host gently held my hand and
knowingly guided me through the maze of vendors selling
their beautiful fabrics. I would occasionally stop her as I
gazed at the magnificent fabrics. She would gently nudge me
to keep on moving saying in her heavy accent, “Not original,
not good.” We passed multitude of vendors before she
started slowing down and let go of my hand.
I looked around and found myself surrounded by the most beautiful and colourful
fabrics. I loved the textures, their patterns and designs. I felt like I was in an oasis of
colour and vibrance. She said to me, “You know you can make a dress with one of these
fabrics?” I was taken aback. “Make?" I asked “Yes," she replied. "I can take you to the
local tailor tomorrow." I was flabbergasted. The notion of having clothes made for me
was inconceivable up until that moment. The following day we went to the tailor. My
measurements were taken, and a few days later a dress that fit me perfectly was made.

I was deliriously joyful. I thought to myself
there must be people out there that have
the same challenge as me. You see
shopping for clothes was never fun for me.
Although I found clothes that I liked; and I
looked good in them, they always came
short at the arms, because I have
unusually long arms. Wearing those
clothes did not evoke any confidence in
me when I stepped out into the world.
When my holiday came to an end, I’d decided I wanted to share this joyful feeling I felt
when I wore a dress that embraced all my unique features. Although I didn’t know what
exactly I wanted, I knew this joyous feeling had to be shared. When I got back home my
research skills went into overdrive. I soon found that this thing I wanted was called
Image Consulting. I found a school nearby where I lived in Randburg, at that time, and I
registered for a Diploma in colour and style image consulting.
Thus a company called SwaaV was borne; a
bespoke men's wear, image consulting
company. Many people ask why gentlemen? I
didn’t immediately have an answer, but when
I reflected back on my days as a Researcher I
noticed that, it was and still is, rare to come
across programs that target boys, programs
that empower boys. I thought to myself, 'Are
we creating an imbalanced society?" Most
programs are targeted at empowering girls
and grooming girls to be confident and
powerful. I realised that the successful
gentlemen that I work with can be a powerful
catalyst for bringing about change in our
society.

Change is as Good as a Holiday -
Redesign Your Home
written by Melissa Muirfield
You don't have to have a lot of money to decorate your home with style. Decorating can
be expensive so there are several things you should think about to keep your budget as
low as possible.
The first thing you should do when you are budgeting your decorating and design for
inside your home is know how much money you have to spend.
You need to determine a payment plan or how much money you have for the room or
space you want to decorate. Be sure to include the costs for accessories in the room
also.
When you are decorating on a budget you
need to focus on one room at a time. It is hard
to complete the entire home at once so your
best option is to decorate each room
separately. You can prioritize which rooms you
would like to focus on first and begin with
them.
don't have to have

Before you make any purchases on the interior
design and schemes you have decided upon you
should view the colors in your home with the
different light schemes in the room.
Be sure to view the colors you choose with natural

bulbs you will choose to light the room with.

You may completely disagree with the color schemes once you have decorated and
then have to spend more money to change what you have decided upon.
You should also think about the decorating and design you are going to do in the
rooms of your home if you dont plan to be there for a long time.
You dont want to spend a lot of money for major changes to the rooms. You should buy
items that will spruce up the room and give you the look and feel you enjoy but that you
can take with you when you go. You dont want to be decorating each room every time
you move.
This is perhaps why it would be a very good
idea to work with a professional interior
designer or stylist. They may actually save you
money by giving you good advice and help you
actually spending money unnecessarily.
They always say change is as good as a holiday.

Good intentions are useless until they are expressed in appropriate action – Napoleon Hill
I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) at the age of
sixteen. It didn’t come as a surprise as the majority of my
family, including my father and brother also had this
hereditary disease that destroys the rods and cones in the
retina. Even though I was born with rather decent vision, the
older I get, the more my vision deteriorates. Complete
blindness is a real possibility.
As I entered my thirties, and I started noticing more and
more issues with my vision, I decided that I wasn’t about to
allow going blind keep me from experiencing everything that
I wanted to accomplish. However, I knew I was on borrowed
time and I had better get going on that list.

I created a vision board. If you have never done this, for your life or for your business,
once you have finished this article, I suggest you put one together. A vision board is
simple to create and serves multiple purposes:
It forces you to think through exactly what you want to accomplish
It is a visual representation – meaning you are setting an INTENTION
It is a reminder every day of what your overall goals are regardless of

everything I wanted. I included activities such as; finish my MBA, be a TedX speaker,
become a college professor, live near the ocean, write a book, and other items. There
were activities on that list I never thought were possible to achieve.
After crossing off a few accomplishments, I started to really believe that I could get
through my entire list.
Just after my 40th birthday, I crossed off the last item. I had
accomplished everything that I had set out to do and It felt
amazing. I celebrated those achievements. Each activity had
enriched my life, whether it was through new experiences,
new relationships, or new knowledge. At that time, I only had
10% of my vision remaining, which sounds small, but I still had

Benefits of a Virtual Assistant
written by Kate Eke
The constant ringing of telephones and a somehow mountainous pile of paper work
can slow down even the most organized start-up business or entrepreneurial venture.
Yet for many, the cost of hiring a full-time Administrative Support Assistant is
prohibitive and, for many people, simply impractical. Very few start-up businesses have
the resources to pay employee related expenses such as vacation pay, health insurance,
retirement benefits, etc. Ignoring the never-ending stack of paperwork could result in
holding back your new business before it has even started.
A possible solution could be to hire a Virtual
Administrative Support Assistant. More and more
people are turning to these highly skilled e-
professionals for help.
A Virtual Administrative Support Assistant (V.A.) is
an experienced executive assistant who has their
own business, with her/his own fax machines,
computers, scanners and telephone lines, not to
mention a wide array of popularly used software
programs, resources and skill.
She or he can do secretarial and clerical duties including but not limited to: basic record
keeping, database and contact management, keeping your website sparkly and up-todate,
calling your clients and confirming appointments, not to mention the hundreds of
other useful tasks that can be lifted from your fingers into able bodied hands. But
perhaps most important of all, she can do these things with the highest professional
ethics and skill without ever stepping into your office.
The V.A. has materialized as a result of a corporate downsizing, economic feasibility and
the lure and attractiveness of many e-workers and e-entrepreneurs that enjoy the
freedom of working out of their own office space.

As more and more people have become self employed, developments in
telecommunications have allowed them the ability to accomplish a vast amount of work
from an off-site location.
Apart from taking on your administrative overload, the V.A. can help promote your
corporate creed, philosophy and image to clients, lending a professional stability that
may otherwise be lacking. If you have V.A.’s in several time zones, you can have true
24/7 support for your company.
Support such as this is especially important
in the growth phase of the company, when
the business is trying to get off the ground,
and bringing in new sales is vital, at a
fraction of the conventional cost of a full
time administrator.
such as this is
"Support

growth phase of the company..."
Should you think about hiring a V.A.? If you are an entrepreneur, are self-employed or
do not have the resources to justify an office with a full-time Support Assistant… than
yes, possibly you should! People who hire V.A.’s are often people who are consistently
traveling, or who need to have someone maintaining their business concerns while they
are away or who are otherwise occupied, i.e.: Stockbrokers, Real Estate Agents,
Coaches, Consultants, Salespersons and Motivational Speakers all commonly utilize the
power of Virtual Assistants.
The number of new V.A.’s grows every day, largely
due to the increased presence of trade
organizations that aim to benchmark and solidify
the V.A. field.
Many V.A.’s have the ability to service clients
worldwide, so if your company has a London,
Chicago Johannesburg offices. you can have high
quality administrative support in all locations!
So, it makes sense to consider out-sourcing much of
your administrative overload to a Virtual Assistant.

I am Rukeya Mall Evans the founder and ceo of RME Virtual
Assistant Services. My business was born from my passion for helping
business owners achieve the work-life balance they desire. I do this by
providing a range of remote office services to fulfil the the backend
support that business owners need.
My 17 years in the business world [with all its trials and tribulations] together with my diverse set of
experience with customer service, business analysis and business development support has taught me how
to quickly adapt to new situations and to meet tight deadlines.
The mixed bag of work experience has given me the skills and excitement to jump into something new.
