hi there!

Welcome to the first issue of Ella Magazine! I am so excited that this is finally a reality and that I can now share it with everyone.

It is such a difficult time to be a business, which is why the most important aspect of this idea was for it to be as affordable as possible to help businesses reach their

step back and appreciate what we have, something we hardly do because our lives are so fast paced.

Take advantage of this, focus on yourself and your future.

The aim of this issue is to be light hearted and positive, reminding you that your favourite businesses, brands, MUA’s and content creators are in this with you and will be here after this is all over. I hope you love it as much as I have loved creating it!

From solo to

Drive Show

Well known for her humour and authenticity, Stacey Norman is the voice that kept you company from 12 - 3pm, weekdays on East Coast Radio.

Now she has left her solo show behind to be the voice that drives you home on the Drive Show with co-host JSbu. Stacey is no stranger to radio, having started her radio journey at her previous company at the young age of 19. When her 94.7 show ended she was done with radio, ‘It was too much pressure to be an "it girl" and insta famous when all I really wanted was a drive show and to grow. I decided to throw the baby out with the bathwater because my ego was enormous and I favoured feeling sorry for myself. I sat on the couch for two months watching Big Bang Theory on repeat, trying to work out what my next move would be.’

The previous pressure I'd felt was gone - I was having fun.’ Skip to a year later where Zane offered her a day time show, ‘I didn't ask which show or how much money or anything practical, I just said yes, and here we are!’

And now achieving the BIGGEST milestone in her radio career ever, Stacey has made it to the Drive show with co-host JSbu! ‘I feel so proud and so at peace. Hard work, dedication, respect for the craft that's what gets you to where you want to be. And my appointment to

Say to dark circles & lines Kiki Beauty is one of South Africa’s most popular skincare brands, with high quality, cruelty free and locally made products it's no surprise that their products are a hit. The concept was developed in 2015 by Holly and her parents when Holly’s mom noticed there was a lack of high end skincare products in South Africa.

‘We had always wanted to start a skincare brand, but it really came into fruition when we started to do our research and come up with some amazing products that we wanted to launch’, and so when their first product was formulated, their Make-Up Ready Face Primer, Kiki beauty was born What makes Kiki beauy products so unique is that they are designed, developed, packaged & manufactured in South Africa. Using only natural,

The newest addition to the brand is their Supercool Eye Serum and Line Corrector, a high potency serum that helps reduce bags and dark circles under the eye and lift the skin of the eyelid. The gentle cooling serum easily glides over lines on the face to smooth and soften them. Being fragrance free makes it suitable for all skin types especially sensitive skin.

Packaged in a high-end glass rollerball container, this serum is different to any other. It is gentle and light but potent at the same time to produce excellent results. Not only does it target under the eye, but also the eyelid and all lines or wrinkles on the face or neck area. This serum works amazingly well in conjunction with their Eye Renewal Cream.

'The response was phenomenal and that's when I knew this is my passion.' The following year however, Prenola neglected the page after securing a 12 month Internship in the SAPS.

LOOKING FOR A

bargain?

Prenola Govender is the face behind popular social media page Durban on a Budget, created in 2016 out of pure frustration, necessity and her passion for great deals. ‘In 2013 I had completed my Bachelors Degree in Marketing and Media/Communications and had been job hunting ever since. When I attended interviews I was always told I lack experience for the position.'

Blogging was suggested to help her deal depression which was caused by unemployment. She started off with a WordPress blog,

After the internship was over, Prenola realised that she still required experience in the marketing field. 'I started giving Durban on a Budget my full attention, offering affordable advertising for local businesses whilst also creating a small income for herself.' Her main focus is to be affordable for smaller businesses who just try to provide a meal for their families and don't have a huge budget for advertising, ’The feed-back I receive from clients has been extremely heart warming and is a huge motivation to keep going. ‘ Adverts start from as little as R50 with reviews currently being done at no cost, if the product or service fits her audience. To get in touch with Prenola, you can reach her via email and social media platforms.
