Dress to attract
The science behind looking good and feeling good.
Why hello, there!
Thuvi G. here! Welcome to my portfolio! I admit it, it's still a work in progress. Writing these "about me/what I do" bits has always been a pain for me to do; it's just so tedious. I'm sure you, dear scoper, have felt the sluggish frustration of reading countless "I am a...I do this..." wash over you as well. I can't change the fact that it's necessary, but maybe I can make it more fun to bite and chew? Let's try.
I'm a social media manager and content producer for the Daily Voice newspaper. I love to try weird candy. I do news reading on the radio station Magic 828 on the side. I recently tried wax bottle candy. As a content writer, I also freelance write an array of feature articles, quirky pieces, advice bits and more for magazines. It was disgusting in flavour; the "juice" on the inside tasted like fermented fruit bleach. I've assisted in events as an usher and runner. I can't lie, I'm kinda into chewing on the beeswax though. I've also dabbled in AD design, AD sales, and I enjoy doing voice-overs! I spent R80 for 4 freaking wax bottle candies, my curiosity is sated, yet my disbelief hangs over my wallet like a pendulum of doom.
Please check out the stuff I've worked on and continue to learn about what I have to offer.
Curiosity may get me into questionable snack situations, but it also spurs on some great creative projects and ideas. Let's see what we can make together!

Celebrities taking a stand for the extraterrestrial!
Do you believe in life beyond Earth? Yes, we’re talking aliens. The spooky, oddly-shaped, extraterrestrial beings that usually live in science-fiction. We’ve heard of the highly classified United States Air Force facility Area 51, mysterious appearances of crop circles, and the odd UFO sighting. But how much of it do you actually believe, and why shouldn’t you believe it?
We, humans, exist after all. But it may be easier believing that humans are the only intelligent life form living in the mul

Britney v Spears. A must watch?
From Mickey Mouse Club House to ‘90s pop star to America’s Sweetheart, Britney Spears has always been the centre of media attention.

But her latest dalliance with media centres around her conservatorship. While the world may be no stranger to the le
