The Sassy Sleuth

Hey Sleuths! If you are an extra, extra large, obsessed to the core, love them to bits Little Mix fan, like I am :) then you MUST know by now that this popular girl group, who have not only produced an array of successful pop hits, and who have also prided themselves on being best friends on and off stage for the nine years they have been together and performing...have (GASP) lost a member. Now they did let the world know that they would NEVER break up or leave the group. But alas, this week they were succumbed to the curse of almost all boy and girls bands ever - that is - the first member to call it quits. Fortunately, Jesy Nelson, the super sexy female singer to have left this band behind has NO bad blood with her fellow BFF's. Jesy Nelson Nor did she want to leave this path to pursue a solo career (at least no mention of that has been publicized or spoken about.) Instead, she said she left because she needed to focus on her mental health and that she now needed to put herself

Hey Sleuths. What with it being Women's Month  (August) here in South Africa (I know for the rest of the world it's in March), I decided to investigate and choose some of the most inspirational and strong quotes by the most powerful women around the globe! I mean we ladies have come a hell of a long way - from Emmeline Pankhurst - founder of the Suffragette Movement in 1903 which basically was a protest allowing the rights for women to vote, to modern day 2020 where women, thanks mainly to protesting through the decades, can now savor plenty more chances and opportunities. BUT there still is a great deal of climbing, shouting, opposing, explaining, standing up to do etc in order to be fully and ubiquitously seen as equals. And that will probably take another X amount of years. For now, as we climb up the ladder together, with both men and women as our cheerleaders, let's celebrate us strong women with some kick-ass, sassy, inspirational, and uplifting quotes.

What is a Murder Mystery Dinner Game? Hey sleuths!  I am so damn happy to blog about this because of course, I love being a detective and I know you do to! With anything in life really.  Tons of people have asked me, what is a murder mystery dinner game -  therefore let me explain this in the most unconventional and exciting way that I can while smoking my imaginary pipe! Detective Thinking about the murder mystery Y'all ready for this? OK. Today…I am not me. I’m Esmeralda Anne Griffith, a 25-year-old telephone operator. It’s the year 1926 and I’m with a group of my closest friends at a speakeasy party in a friend’s house basement. It’s essential that we be discreet; we don’t want the police to find out that this type of party is going on because according to the prohibition act, alcohol is banned! Yet, the bath tub is immersed in a variety of alcoholic drinks. So, do we care about the prohibition act? No, we do not! For this is the age of defiance and ebull

I bet almost every single person right now is saying BOTH! I definitely said both when I wanted to started my business called JadeBrey Designs which I was and am very passionate about. But with the passion, I wanted to make at least a bit of money too. I mean what's wrong with wanting to make money from your business? How else are you going to pay bills and buy wine for Friday night movie night stay in?  HOWEVER, some business ventures are not aimed at making a large amount of money, rather their reward comes from aiding people in some way or changing a part of life for the better or simply because it is a dream that yearns to be fulfilled.  So the question lingers: Should you start a business for Money or Passion? Before you answer this I want you to take a deep breathe in and out. Take a few more. Now, without anyone else's voice in your head, think about what YOU want the answer to be!  Always be honest with yourself when it comes to what you want.

It all started on the 1st of May, when a message was delivered to me on a silver platter along with Turkish Delight and a white candle. (Ok fine, I lie, the message was emailed to me in word document.) But nevertheless, I would like to think that as a life detective (aka blogger), I can take any problem, add in a few facts, find some evidence and SOLVE it timeously! Especially in relation to ways one could benefit their career goals. Which brings me back to the 1st of May when the "problem" announced itself. Turns out that as from this month, and due to lockdown, everyone at my company I work for, including me, will now be working part time for a short duration or until everyone is allowed outside again. (We were all working full time prior.) Of course the above was completely understandable! But it meant an adjustment in my time, my salary, my routine, working hours and staying home etc and this was all new territory for me - seeing as I had been working full t
