Photos by - Fotohaus

West Property’s second block of apartments, the Millennium Heights Apartment Estate (Block 2), recently unveiled a show unit decorated in a modern and elegant style. The unit stunningly complements the luxury estate, with a homely and comfortable look.

The showhouse kitchen looks spectacular with the shiny white cabinets and the silver sink. The living room incorporates shades of grey and other neutral colours with the couch taking centre stage. The bedroom has white bedcovers and pillows with touches of grey. Curtains in the whole showroom, including the living room and the bedrooms, are grey and white.

The Millennium Heights Apartment Estate have set the trend for Harare and Zimbabwe’s modern lifestyle, on par with European standards. They are an oasis of luxury housing, meeting the needs of a country whose lifestyle tastes are becoming more discerning. This is evident in the interior design of the showhouse and the rest of the apartments that match what the market is looking for – a housing concept built for the high-end market. The one-bedroom apartments have an open

plan living area opening out to a balcony or veranda, and a kitchen with space for a scullery and pantry. The bedrooms have access to a balcony or veranda, walk in closet space and bathrooms with provisions for a tub, shower, double sink and water closet. The apartments project a lifestyle that is trendy, simple and sophisticated. Marilyn Mosha - Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at West Property - said about the apartments, “The brief to the designer was to come up with a minimalist and

contemporary look and feel. They did a splendid job, creating something refreshing”.

Mosha adds that it was important for the apartments to echo the vision of West Property which is committed to providing high-end accommodation to a growing discerning market segment.

On their website, West Property describes the Millennium Heights Apartment Estate, as “an exclusive up-market lifestyle estate enthused by modern family living in close proximity to superb shopping centres, schools and medical facilities.” The up-market apartment development has backup water supplies and solar power. It is also a safe place that provides peace of mind to residents and is an environmentally friendly accommodation facility; meeting the tastes of an affluent target market who crave a sophisticated lifestyle.

In line with the “vision is to become the leading customer centric developer of exceptional properties in Zimbabwe”, West Property commissioned Erick Kanyongo, founder of EK Concepts, one of Harare’s leading interior décor specialists, to design the rooms of the show unit. Commenting on the interior designs of the showhouse, Kanyongo said, “The concept was to showcase the best possible finish and use of the space. The show house would then provide the clients with a different perspective and insight into how the units could look.

REFINED | | ISSUE 5 | 2023 | 9

The purpose was to make it easier for clients to get an idea of their dream home, unlocking the full potential of the Millennium Heights apartments, while avoiding the hassles of the tedious decorating processes”.

Kanyongo brought along other design driven players such as LBH Hardware, Tile and Carpet for the tiles and bathroom fittings, Square Kitchens for the kitchen units, televisions, and builtin cupboards, and Elite Interiors for the furniture.

The top-level team helped to create the sophisticated and comfortable interior design work at Millennium Heights Apartment Estate, a testament to a modern lifestyle.

DECLUTTER IS GOING A STEP FURTHER, EMPOWERING SCHOOL CHILDREN ON HOW TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. THE FIRST EVER INTERNATIONALLY ACCREDITED PROFESSIONAL ORGANISERS IN HARARE, DECLUTTER RIDES ON THIS UPLIFTING AND INFLUENTIAL ACCOLADE, TO BE AT THE FOREFRONT, PROVIDING A HEALTHY LUNCH BOX FOR YOUR CHILDREN – WHICH CAN BE FUN. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE CHILDREN CAN BE PRONE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS IF THEY’RE NOT EATING NUTRITIOUS FOODS. BEAR IN MIND THAT HEALTHY EATING, WHEN MADE PART OF THE CULTURE OF YOUR HOME, WILL HELP TO PREVENT ILLNESS RATHER THAN HAVING TO SEEK A CURE IN THE FUTURE.

When you prepare the lunch box have a checklist of foods that you can serve up for your child. Some of these foods may already be in the fridge or available at the nearest supermarket or fresh produce market.

A healthy lunch box should contain lentils or legumes. Try to combine protein from meat, fish and legumes with fresh vegetables and fruit.

It should be in every mom’s or guardian’s mind that good nutrition and living a healthy lifestyle are the foundation for a child’s future. The type of food children eat forms the basis of how well their

body functions in both the short and long term. Unhealthy bodies, as a result of eating less nutritious or junk food leads to diseases like arthritis, heart disease and diabetes. The answer is to pack the best foods for your children’s lunches that are tasty and healthy –low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals – to set them up with energy for the day.

An awesome lunch box, as recommended by deClutter, Zimbabwe’s best seller of lunch up-market boxes, should be well insulated to keep food at the best temperature – some foods are better hot, some lukewarm or cold. Stainless steel lunch boxes are ideal as they last longer and are more hygienic. They usually have several compartments including ones for salads, fruit, sandwiches and snacks.

Here are the five recommendations for packing a healthy lunch box that promotes a healthy life.

• Vegetables should be the main component

• Encourage healthy snacking by including fruit and nuts

• Get a lunch box (or food container) that helps to maintain the coolness or warmth and freshness of every meal

• Sneak in a nutritious dessert like healthy chocolate chip cookies, superfood chocolate bars, yoghurt parfaits or fruitbased desserts

• Pack in more protein in the form of sandwich fillings and stews based on chicken, fish or meat.

REFINED | | ISSUE 5 | 2023 | 19

While the best lunch boxes might seem pricey, deClutter advises to go for similar versions in their stock when choosing this line of products since they save money by promoting your children’s health. deClutter also believes that these lunch boxes also make preparing lunches fun and more adventurous. Parents can use their imaginations to create delicious and nutritious food every day. Keep a chart to record what food you’ve prepared each day to avoid boring repetitions and keep it interesting for your child – it also avoids wastage and saves money if the meals are well planned. Where possible include homemade foods rather than precooked, supermarket options and always include water and juices to keep your child well hydrated.

deClutter offers amazing solutions for organising your lifestyle - and your spaces – by using these amazing compartmentalised lunch boxes.

PICKING THE RIGHT CLOTHES FOR THE OFFICE CAN BE TRICKY AS THERE ARE RULES TO BE ADHERED TO, BUT JUST BECAUSE THE SKIMPY DRESS IS A NO, IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN’T INJECT SOME PERSONALITY INTO YOUR WORK CLOTHES. CHOOSE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE OUTFITS AND CHANGE THEM UP WITH A BIT OF CLASS TO SUIT THE BOARDROOM. WHO SAID YOU HAD TO DRESS BORINGLY WHEN GOING TO WORK? JAZZ UP YOUR OFFICE WEAR AND PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD WITH THE MOST STYLISH WORK CLOTHES FROM DENISE K LIFESTYLE.

If you work in an office it is important to find appropriate business attire that makes you feel comfortable and confident. The clothes you wear to work are a way to convey your professionalism and show that you belong in your work environment. Denise K Lifestyle ensures you can have the best work clothes to promote your professional image.

Over the years fashion has been evolving and formal wear styles have shifted. Working environments have changed to embrace results orientated outcomes rather than employees appearances. The days of formal suits, twin sets, silk blouses and stockings have long gone. You only need to dress modestly and neatly to promote your image.

With an eye for modern fashion Denise Jenje started designing and tailor-making clothes in 2016 while she was still in college. Her range, Denise K Lifestyle, started operating on a full time basis in 2018. They are located at 103 Livingstone Avenue in Harare and they also have an online store at www.denisek.co.zw/ shop. Denise was motivated by a desire to help people look and feel good about what they wear.

“My desire for good quality, different and affordable clothing pushed me into creating the Denise K Lifestyle brand. I was looking for clothes that I would love to wear but couldn’t find them, so I decided to take things into my own hands. It turned out that other women were also looking for the same things,” she said.

“One has to think about their body type first and see what styles complement their figure. Then the next thing is what message I am trying to communicate with my style. Is it powerful or feminine?” Denise said.

The ideal outfits for working days depend on where you spend most of your time. If you’re mostly in the office you need a lot of basic wardrobe elements that can be interchangeable and fit together to suit different occasions. If you are always working outdoors or traveling a lot, you want smart casual looks that say I am professional but I’m still comfortable and stylish.

Monday Blues will become a thing of the past with this brand’s colourful work outfits. The front slit pencil skirt and cowl neck blouse is the ultimate ‘I am in charge, and I look fabulous doing it’ outfit, no better way to start your week with confidence.

To keep the momentum, add a pop of color on Tuesday, have on, a red sheath dress with a gold button detail will absolutely win the day and assert your presence in the office. Add a white shirt under the dress for a more formal look.

Its not a myth that a collared dress gives career women a look that says I am a leader, there is no better way to show up on a Wednesday than with a collar sheath dress that has a princess line detail that highlights the woman’s figure perfectly. Pair this with a pointed court shoe and subtle jewellery to complete the look.

Thursday is almost weekend, so consider a semi-formal look that is still appropriate for the workplace like the Meghan markle two piece set from Denise K Lifestyle. The set comprises of an A-line skirt that is not too tight and a cowl neck blouse. This combo is fun and playful whilst its still fits in the corporate category.

Before you know it, its Friday you are free to be as playful as you would want and Denise chose to style it with a simple co-ord set. The great thing about this set is that it looks fashionable on any body type and it does not require further styling, its the ultimate wear and go outfit. You can also wear the shirt with jeans or the pants with a plain black top and you will have 2 new outfits, talk about investment pieces.

Here are a few tips on how ladies can stay stunning from Monday to Friday in trendy and classy work clothes.

MUTUPO WINE COLLECTION & SKYBORNE TRAVEL AGENCY

SPONSORS THE INAUGURAL ZWING AWARDS

Text by Martin Chemhere Images by Fotohaus

OUT & ABOUT

Mutupo Wine Collection, part of the Skyborne Travel Agency, were the main sponsor of the country’s maiden wedding industry awards ceremony, known as the ZWING (Zimbabwe Wedding Industry Networking Gala) Awards. The awards were held on 22 January at the Golden Cornifer Function Venue, Strathaven, Harare with guests from the corporate world including the wedding, hospitality and events sectors gathered.

Zimbabwean based in Belgium and Mutupo Wine Collection and Skyborne Travel Agency CEO, was delighted with the event, for allowing his businesses to give back to the community while marketing to both new and old target audiences.

Speaking about the brand name of the wine range, Chabvamuperu Van Den Bogaert said, “Mutupo” is a word in a Bantu language (Shona) meaning ‘totem”. Put together, this is a brand which recognises our cultural heritage and that we are proud of it, pushing it into luxury lifestyle status. We are happy to be the inaugural sponsors for this debut prestigious event.’’

He said that Skyborne Travel Agency is a company which provides services to tour the beautiful African continent, and has created the wine brand for high-end clients who also enjoy the good life, sipping on good wine, proud to be African. ‘’We value where we come from and the awards

The awards were founded by Yvone Kabasa, who wanted “to recognize and reward excellence in the wedding industry”. As the sponsor, Mutupo Wine Collection and Skyborne Travel Agency had a strong presence, promoting their corporate image to the guests. Supporting partners of the event were Refined Magazine Zimbabwe, Kenchris Weddings, Mrs Michaels Cake Supplies, Elysian Events, Inspired Candles ZW, and Profound Photography Weddings. Also present were MC Mai Juju, George the MC, Samantha Rusare, Posh Events ZW, Touch of Class Event Design, Your Girl In Zim, FWA Photography, and 3Ktv.

Farayi Chabvamuperu Van Den Bogaert, a

highlight the kind of lifestyle that we appreciate will impact positively our brand. We align with events that have an impact and resonate with our wine and travel agency businesses,’’ said Chabvamuperu Van Den Bogaert.

Mutupo Wine Collection showcased its range of wines including brands like Natural White Wine, Pinotage, Merlot, Red Blend and Shiraz. All these wines and more come in different Zimbabwean totems like Masibanda Edition, Shumba Edition, Soko Mukanya Edition, Ngara Edition and others. The wine-making company has been trading for almost a year after having launched in February of 2022. However, Skybourne Travel Agency has been established for the past three years.

Aside from Zimbabwe, the range of

26 | REFINED | ISSUE 5 | 2023

wines is marketed in South Africa and Botswana. Apart from the regional market, the wine range has also reached America, Belgium, Turkey and Germany and more markets are expected in the future. In these markets, the response to the brands has been encouraging based on the pride of partly, some Zimbabweans who want to associate with

a beverage that promotes their identity and culture. The wines are also proving to be popular with other nationalities who don’t have an identity connection with the southern African nation, which is something that keeps encouraging the founders to take the wines to as many markets as possible.

The future looks bright for the wine range as more markets are being explored and opened outside Africa. Research is ongoing and they are also studying the different markets to see how best to expand and fully exploit the wine brand. They plan to grow the wine brand by supporting rural tourism in Zimbabwe and other parts of the

continent like South Africa and Botswana where they already have a footprint. They keep connecting with restaurants and hotels for long-term working relationships.

The CEO pointed out that the success of the wine brand so far is attributed to the ongoing support of Zimbabweans and others who have found it to be tasty and unique in its branding. Notable support has come from influencers from Zimbabwe who have been engaged to push the brands through their social media following and other networks.

It has been quite uplifting for the founders of the wine brand to see other people like tourists from other countries who come to Zimbabwe keenly identifies with the wine range due to how it has been branded with our African cultural elements like clan names or totems. Based on this interest, there is room to engage more markets by blending culinary leisure and Zimbabwe’s cultural identity.

‘’It’s a journey that will take a while to fully get established but one that is

worthwhile to walk”, says Chabvamuperu Van Den Bogaert. Mutupo Wine Collection and Skyborne Travel Agency is a powerful combination that stands to benefit from the partnership with the ZWING Awards. The two businesses are determined to keep playing an influential role in the African travel and tourism industry.
