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.

FOUNDER,

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

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.

driven by purpose. They are the world’s caretakers and support. They are the strength

of humanity and hope for a brighter future. We realise that as a SwaaV client your

purpose must make a difference. That’s why we work tirelessly everyday to enable your

vision through crafting your reputation. Expressing it in the colours, fabric and style you

How we do we achieve this? By taking you through a colour and style analysis to

establish which colours complement you. We then present you with an array of fabrics

in different colours to choose from.

We then take your measurements and design

a garment that will embrace your unique self.

You are bespoke, and we believe in you. Your

first suit from SwaaV will read: "Wear your

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.

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

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

your to-do list

Creating my vision board gave me the motivation I needed to get out there are do

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

enough to do more. So, I put together another vision board.

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.
