AWSUM Celebrity Interview

Suzelle DIY

AWSUM News caught up with sensational YouTube comedy wondergirl, Suzelle DIY, who has just landed her very own slot on Comedy Central – not bad for a poppie with a hectic wannabe accent and an ever-silent best friend! Suzelle DIY’s YouTube channel has more than 48 000 subscribers and picks up 40 000 views on the day a new episode launches.

Q: Congratulations on the latest feather in your cap – your very own slot on Comedy Central. How does it feel to play in the big league now? A: I feel like a million rands. It has been a dream come true to watch myself on TV. Q: Who is Suzelle really? Tell us a bit more about yourself – likes, dislikes, favourite movie, favourite song, favourite book.

Page 2

AWSUM NEWS, MAY 2016

A: I’m just a small town girl with a passion for DIY, braaiing and dinner parties. My movie of the moment is the How To Be Single and my favourite book is How to do Just about Everything by The Reader’s Digest. Q: Why do you think you are so popular? What is your secret to success? A: I think people like that the DIY in my videos is useful, and that sometimes things go wrong. My secret is to keep going no matter what happens! Q: What are your top five DIY tips for women like yourself who like to be glamorous and never get their hands dirty while doing the dirty work A: Right, this is a good one. It’s important to always look your best no matter what you are busy doing. • Wear an apron when you are in the kitchen. • Use safety goggles when you chop onions to stop your eyes from tearing up and smudging your make-up. • Run your nails over a bar of soap before you do the gardening. It will keep the dirt from getting under your nails. • Buy a box of disposable gloves. They are great to use for any DIY project. • I like to cut up plastic packets and lay them down on my work surface to prevent any mess escaping Q: What do you do for fun and relaxation in your leisure time? A: I like to go for a coffee with my best friend, Marianne. I like to watch cooking shows and look for DIY ideas on

the Google. Q: Other celebrities, across a spectrum, like Nataniël, Hellen Zille, Tim Noakes and Jan-Hendrik, want to be associated with you. Why is that? What do they gain? What do you gain? A: I think they are just excited to meet me because they want to soak up some of my creativity. Q: Where do you get your ideas from for your videos? Which episode is your favourite? Why? A: I get my ideas from all sorts of places. I find them on the Google and in magazines. I also get sent a lot of great ideas from my fans. My favourite episode is How to Make a Braai Pie, because that was my first video to go viral. Q: Are you English or Afrikaans? Who are your biggest fans – English or Afrikaans-speaking people? Why do you think is that so? A: I’m Afrikaans, but I like to speak in English in my videos so that the peoples overseas can also enjoy the videos. Shame. I think my fans are a real mix of different cultures. Q: What is the single thing that you enjoy most when creating and crafting a new episode? A: I love filming it with Marianne and my neighbour Hennie. We always have so much fun together. Q What DIY message do you have for our readers (parents of schoolgoing children)? A: Parents, you must teach your kids that their creativity is their number one tool!

FOR THE FOODIES

Roll up, roll up!! I always have a roll or two of frozen pastry in my freezer, you should too, it comes in handy if I want to make a tart or pie at the drop of a hat. I love little jam tarts and when the craving hits me, I make my way to the freezer and pull out a roll of shop bought frozen pastry, wait for it to thaw, roll it out, cut out little rounds and pop them into the hollows of a muffin tin, place a little butter in the base, sprinkle with desiccated coconut and a spoonful of any jam that takes my fancy , pop it into a hot oven, put the kettle on and before you know it I’m munching on jam tarts and sipping tea. The other thing I like to do with a sheet of pastry is fill it and make a roulade. A roulade is a dish of filled rolled meat or pastry, the term roulade originates from the French word "rouler", meaning "to roll". Now what I like about having a sheet of pastry handy is that you can fill it with a million different things and call them, tarts pies and roulades, you can make any of these from scratch or use up left-overs from the night before to make a pie.

Vegetarian puff pastry roulade Ingredients • Olive oil • 200g button mushrooms sliced • 2 cloves garlic, crushed • 2 Tbsp. Wellington’s sweet chilli sauce • 1 cup chopped spinach, wilted • 250ml ricotta • 3 tbsp chopped peppadews • ¾ c Cheddar cheese • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary • Salt and freshly ground pepper • 1 x 400g puff pastry • 1 egg beaten

Method • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the mushrooms until lightly browned, stir in the garlic and sweet chilli sauce, season with salt

and pepper and cook for a further 3 minutes until all the moisture has cooked off the mushrooms. • Allow cooling, and then mixing with the remaining filling ingredients, except the spinach. • Roll out the pastry until 2mm thick place the mushroom mixture onto the centre of the pastry and shape into a sausage shape, top with the spinach and then fold the pastry over the filling to make a parcel. Brush with beaten egg. • Lift onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper, this makes it easier to lift off the sheet when cooked. • Bake in a pre-heated 200 deg C oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden and crisp. • Serve with large mixed salad © Jenny Morris 2015

Matric Farewell 2016 Guide

Elegance is the only beauty that never fades Audrey Hepburn

10-step Matric Farewell Checklist 1. The date By now you should have a date. After receiving the formal event invitation, phone your date and make sure that they save the date! 2. The parents Your date’s parents might want to meet you. They will appreciate your effort and feel more comfortable sending their son or daughter to the dance with you. 3. The meeting point Create a central meeting point for all your friends by arranging a cheese and wine event at someone’s house on the day of the farewell. This is the perfect opportunity for last-minute photo shoots with parents. 4. The dress/suit Have a fitting to make sure that your outfit is still intact, clean and fits perfectly. If not, you still have time to have it cleaned, trimmed or fixed. Remember to take a cocktail dress with for the afterparty! 5. The shoes Don’t forget the shoes! Wear something that is stylish, complements your outfit and comfortable. Girls, you should avoid heals that hurt your feet. They can put a serious damper on your evening. 6. The accessories Add style to your outfit. Get some bling jewellery, a tie that complements your date’s dress or a handbag to carry the essentials. 7. Beauty appointments Book your hair and make-up appoinments for the morning of your matric farewell. Plan the look you are going for. Be sure to take photos with you to the appointment as examples. You can do your nails earlier the week. 8. The photoshoot Depending on your budget you can either hire a photographer or have a friend or family member take the photographs. Plan your day so that there is time for taking photographs before leaving for the event. 9. Getting there The trend is to hire a vehicle for the event – from sports cars to old collector cars – but you can use any method of transport that will get you there on time and looking as fabulous as when you left. A limousine is spacious and can transport a whole bunch of your friends. This is fun for getting excited on the way to the event! 10. The afterparty Many matric farewells have a official afterparty. They are less formal than the matric farewell, but be sure to check the dress code of the venue beforehand. For the girls a cocktail dress should be fine. For the guys long trousers, closed shoes and a collared shirt should fit the bill.

The Essentials for the Perfect Matric Dance Evening Each year, every girl in their Matric Year looks forward to one particular evening of the year, that one night you have been dreaming about since the beginning of your high school career. Every girl fantasises about their Matric Dance and just how spectacular the evening is set to be. But it’s not only the actual dance that we dream of, it’s the glitz and glamour of the entire event, and most importantly, just how beautiful we both look and feel. Months of preparation are spent ensuring that the PERFECT dress is chosen, along with all the right accessories and such that go with this. So, to help all you lovely ladies out, we have put together the perfect guide to all the essentials that are needed for your special night, a virtual checklist if you like. The Perfect Dress

The Perfect Hairdo

Firstly, you need to find THE dress, the one you cannot take your eye off and just want to live in. Whether it’s getting one tailor made, or hiring a beautiful gown, comfort and beauty need to go hand in hand.

Whether you have short hair, long hair, dark or light hair, the perfect style to suit your overall look is essential. Braids are really in and they are a great way to make sure your hair is kept in place all evening and can be used for both an upstyle or a simple fall. We love the idea of a flower crown, or a simple tiara would look beautiful too.

The Perfect Face Ensuring that the perfect make up is chosen is a huge part of your look. We recommend a ‘fresh face’ look to show off your natural beauty, there’s nothing worse then too much make up. Try go for a look that suits not only your choice of colours for the evening (such as your dress), but something that works with your skin tone too. If you do want to add a bit of “pow” to your look, focus on either your eyes (a dark smokey eye for example) or your lips.

The Perfect Jewellery

The Perfect Nails

The Perfect Finishing touches

The traditional way is to opt for a stunning Manicure, however why not try something different and add a bit of colour to your look? Gel nails are a great way of ensuring your nails look elegant for such an occasion and just as lovely as your traditional French Manicure. Why not a bit of sparkle?

Never forget the finishing touches. The perfect shoe to match your dress can surprisingly be one of the hardest items of your look to find, so make sure you don’t leave this till the last minute. Don’t forget your lipstick behind, so you can always touch up when it’s photo time. And lastly, a spray of your favourite fragrance is just the thing to make you feel extraordinary on this spectacular evening.

Beauty is power,

Smile

a is its sword. -John Ray

Selecting the perfect pieces of jewellery is always a tough choice. Such a small item has the ability to add the perfect touch to your look. Always look at your dress and it’s colours, and then co-ordinate your jewels. If your dress has a lot of detail, try a more simple choice in the above jewellery. However, if you’ve gone with a more simple style, a bold statement neckpiece is always a winner.

So go out looking beautiful and don’t forget to have fun and make amazing memories to last a lifetime! Source: http://www.cinderellas.co.za/perfect-matric-dance-evening/

HOËRSKOOL WATERKLOOF (t) 012 347 0277/8 (e) admin@klofies.co.za Hoërskool Waterkloof kaalvoet vir medemens Op Dinsdag, 10 Mei het die leerders van Hoërskool Waterkloof om 06:00 die oggend, kaalvoet en met ‘n swartsak of meer klere, op die skool se pawiljoen bymekaargekom om die sonsopkoms in te wag. Dié jaarlikse gebruik herinner elke leerder aan hul seëninge en leer hulle om empatie te toon met die gemeenskappe wat nie so bevoorreg is nie. Ten spyte van die vooruitsig aan yskoue, rooi tone en kloppende voete, trek elke leerder en onderwyser hul skoene uit om te voel hoe dit voel om in die winter sonder die basiese behoeftes klaar te kom. Die oggend se skenkings het aan GROOT FM se Baadjie vir ‘n Maatjie-projek gegaan en die nagenoeg 200 sakke met klere is aan Lindie Strydom oorhandig wat dit namens PEN in ontvangs geneem het. Sy het in haar gesprek met die leerders klem gelê op die klein verskilletjies wat elkeen in ‘n ander mens se lewe kan maak en hulle aangemoedig om meer met agtergeblewe gemeenskappe betrokke te raak. Oud-Klofie en Mev. Suid-Afrika-finalis, Margy Pretorius, het ook die Groot Gees met Sonsopkoms bygewoon. Haar boodskap aan leerders was om betrokke te bly en ‘n verskil te maak deur op hul eie sterkpunte te fokus. Groot Gees met Sonsopkoms is op gepaste wyse afgesluit met die vrolike klanke van Jakkie Louw. Elana Marais (Hoërskool Waterkloof hoofmeisie), Margy Pretorius (oud-Klofie en Mev. Suid-Afrika-finalis) en Janu Buys (Hoërskool Waterkloof hoofseun).

Klofies is reg gebek! Vanjaar is die sewende keer wat die jaarlikse Van Huyssteens Oratorsfees in samewerking met advokaat Johan van Huyssteen se regsfirma aangebied Henry Serfontein, Robert Hindley, Jana van is. Tydens hierdie fees kry leerders, Huyssteen, Janu Buys. individueel en in spanverband, geleentheid om onvoorbereide toesprake oor ‘n verskeidenheid van aktuele onderwerpe (wat hulle 45 minute voor hul optrede vir die eerste keer onder oë kry) te lewer. Die toesprake moet beredenerend en oortuigend in Afrikaans, Engels of in beide tale (tweetalig) aangebied word. Hoërskool Waterkloof het nege spanne en ses individue in die finaal van die Van Huysseens Oratorsfees gehad. Leoné Goosen in graad 9 is as die individuele wenner in die Afrikaans-afdeling aangewys en Angelique Carmichael in graad 12 as wenner van die Tweetalige afdeling. Wat Angelique se prestasie so merkwaardig maak, is dat sy die rekord van Mericia Els (hoofdogter van 2015 ) geëwenaar het. Hierdie twee Klofie-dogters het elk nege hamers gewen. Dit beteken dat hulle in hul hoërskoolloopbane ongeveer elke jaar twee afdelings moes wen. Geen ander skool kon die Klofies dit nog nadoen nie. In die Spanafdelings het die Klofie-matriekleerders skoonskip gemaak en ‘n navolgenswaardige voorbeeld gestel. Hulle is as wenners van die Engelse en tweetalige afdelings aangewys.

PRETORIA GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL (t) 012-4307341 (e) info@phsg.org.za Pretoria High School for Girls participates at the National Girls’ Schools’ Festival The National Girls’ Schools’ Festival was founded in 2000 by the former headmistresses of Pretoria High School for Girls and Rhenish Girls’ High School, Mrs Alison Kitto and Ms Letitia Snyman. What originally started out as a small group of girls’ public schools from different provinces in South Africa taking part in a few sports disciplines, has grown to a very large sport and cultural festival with 21 public girls’ schools participating. This year the festival was hosted by Durban Girls’ High School and our school teams took part in chess, debating, hockey, netball, public speaking, squash, tennis and vocal ensemble. It is indeed inspiring to watch such a large group of young woman from all over South Africa eagerly participating in a spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship.
