Detachment Is Your Superpower

Image
Detachment Is Your Superpower How Letting Go Leads to Free.dom, Peace, and Growth There was a time when I believed that holding on was a sign of strength. That the more tightly I gripped something—or someone—the more it proved how deeply I cared. I thought loyalty meant staying, even when everything inside me whispered that it was time to let go. I thought love meant endurance, even when that love was hurting me. But somewhere between heartbreak, healing, and the quiet nights when I cried alone, I learned something I wish someone had told me earlier: detachment is not weakness. Detachment is a superpower. Not because it makes you cold or distant, but because it teaches you how to preserve your peace. It helps you see things and people for what they truly are, without getting lost in the idea of what you wanted them to be. It allows you to focus on the journey rather than obsessing over the destination. And above all, it frees you from the prison of expectations. I’ve always been someon...

From Buhera With Boldness: The Story Behind Buhera Signature

Image
From Buhera With Boldness: The Story Behind Buhera Signature In a world where fashion often borrows too much and dares too little, Buhera Signature is a breath of fresh African air. Founded by Zimbabwean sisters Eunice and her creative partner-in-crime (yes, it’s a family affair!), this fashion house is shaking up the bridal and red carpet scene with fearless, culture-rich designs that tell powerful stories. Born in the rural heartbeat of Zimbabwe—Buhera—and shaped by the proud traditions of Eswatini, Eunice and her sister grew up surrounded by a culture that was unashamed, loud, and boldly expressive. The Swazi spirit inspired them to embrace their own Zimbabwean identity even more fiercely, and in that mix of longing for home and love for culture, Buhera Signature was born.  “We come from a rural village called Buhera and we’re here trying to make our mark in the fashion industry,” Eunice shares. And what a mark they’re making. Their name alone has become a magnet for clients: “I...

JezTheStylist 101: How to Find Your Fashion Style

JezTheStylist 101: How to Find Your Fashion Style Lately, I’ve been getting flooded with messages like, “Jez, how do I find my fashion style?” or “I don’t even think I have one!” And to that, I say — take a deep breath. You're not alone, and you're not lost. You're just at the beginning of your style journey. And guess what? I’m here to walk that road with you. Fashion is personal. It’s never just about clothes. It’s about who you are, how you feel, where you come from, and even where you’re going. Some of us are influenced by our upbringing — maybe it was your mother’s Sunday best, your dad’s uniform, or your community’s dress code. Others are shaped by culture, religion, people we admire, or simply the environment we live in. And then there are those of us who just love a good trend and can’t resist the pull of a TikTok aesthetic. So today, I want to take you through a few fashion styles I know and love — styles I’ve either tried, admired, or studied — in the hope that th...

The Power of Association: Who’s Holding Your Ladder

Image
The Power of Association: Who’s Holding Your Ladder You know that phrase, “Show me your friends, and I’ll tell you who you are”? It may sound cliché, but it still rings true like a bell in a quiet room. The people we surround ourselves with aren't just companions — they’re mirrors, mentors, and sometimes... messes. But in this life, the power of association can either unlock doors or lock you in cages you never meant to enter. Let’s talk about it. In our day-to-day life, we often overlook just how deeply we’re influenced by the people in our circle. Ever notice how you start picking up a friend’s slang, their habits — even their mindset? That’s not a coincidence. That’s the power of proximity. If you walk with people who complain all the time, negativity becomes second nature. But if you surround yourself with those who speak life, dream big, and live with purpose? You start catching that fire too. Think about it: You don’t have to steal to be seen as a thief. Just be constantly se...

BLUE SMOKE: The Street Prophet with Vintage Fire

Image
BLUE SMOKE: The Street Prophet with Vintage Fire In the heart of Harare, where style meets soul and dreams are stitched into denim and dust, there walks a man known simply as Blue Smoke. You can’t miss him — not just because of his bold silhouettes or his eye for layering textures, but because he carries something rare: presence. A creative force, a fashion rebel, and a visionary with the grit to build his own lane, Blue Smoke is what we like to call a dare-to-dream kind of guy. He doesn’t just wear clothes — he speaks through them. His style is a curated fusion of high-end streetwear and vintage charm, layered with intention and unapologetic flair. He grew up inspired by nature, art, and the unfiltered energy of 90s films, early 2000s rap videos, and skater culture. While others saw clothing as necessity, he saw it as a canvas. He would scour thrift stores for pieces with history — worn-in jackets, aged tees, pants that whispered stories of another decade — and merge them with modern ...

Not All Heroes Wear Capes – A Father’s Day Tribute

Image
Not All Heroes Wear Capes – A Father’s Day Tribute Today, as the world celebrates Father’s Day, I find myself reflecting deeply on what fatherhood truly means. You see, many people still believe that being a father is simply about bringing a child into the world. But in my eyes, fatherhood goes far beyond biology—it is about showing up, rooting for your children, shaping their hearts and minds, holding space for their dreams, and being a rock through the storms of life. Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear work boots, some wear old t-shirts, and some wear the quiet courage of sacrifice and love. I am incredibly blessed to have grown up surrounded by such heroes—my grandfather, my uncles, and my brothers—each of them stepping into the role of fatherhood with so much grace, love, and presence. They didn’t just provide; they were present. And trust me, in a world where “presence” is often overlooked, that meant everything. I’ve had the rare gift of being raised by men who didn’t shy away ...

Image
Thrift Like a Pro: Budget Babe Secrets from Zim to Tokyo This is not a paid ad. This is just your girl, sharing her style secrets — one budget outfit at a time. There was a time in my life when my budget was tighter than my favorite pair of skinny jeans, but one thing about me: I was never going to let that stop me from looking good. Whether I was heading to work, attending an event, or simply walking around Harare, I believed in showing up as that girl — stylish, put together, and most importantly, authentic to myself. So many people used to ask me, “Where did you get those jeans?” or “How do you always look so fashionable without breaking the bank?” And the truth is, my fashion journey was built on the backbone of thrift stores and local gems that kept me looking like a whole Pinterest board — without the price tag of one. Let me put you on to a few of the stores that carried me through some of my best-dressed seasons in Zimbabwe. If you're a girl on a budget, a fashion lover, or...
