After all, these days the cold bites deep into the bone and spending the whole night enjoying drinks is definitely not a solution. I think it would be wise to check in early before the temperatur­es drop and enjoy those few drinks and save the remaining money for the next day.

more did the most for my confidence, after I was discovered by Supersun Creative models in June 2017, debuted in July and had my first feature in the print media in August, same year with the help of Phumla Dlamini, who did the interview. It was all uphill from then, everything else then just fell into place, worked with so many big names like Welz Wethu, DJ DD Cool, SwaLebs Magazine, Mabhoyane Mamba and the whole Video Waves Crew. I can’t single out anyone in particular but they all had a hand,” added Missy Unique.

She went on to share that this year is a year of harvest as she has been getting bookings as an MC.

“I have already bagged a few bookings including that I was the MC at Xolani’s birthday celebratio­n on February 25 at the XChange Lounge and Shisanyama, which featured Babes Wodumo hosted by Toxik Entertainm­ent.

I hope to see more big stages as a female Disc Jockey who is also an MC. friends eventually calls for more spending. Imagine buying six drinks per round just to keep your friends entertaine­d for the night. If they drink more, they will also end up looking for something to eat

“I also have a huge fashion show coming up, Eswatini Spring Fashion in August, which will feature both local and internatio­nal designers and models.

Lastly, I am aiming to officially launch my line, Castle of Uniqueness by December. I am hoping more shows will follow,” shared Missy.

“I’m ecstatic, I can’t even put it in words, and I’m happy and proud of myself dearly. I’m really happy and I can’t wait for it to open more doors for me.

“I’m more than excited, I still can’t believe it, I feel like crying every now and then when I think about how big of a deal I am right now, I’m just this white girl who really has nothing against her name, no inheritanc­e to live off, no one to fall back on, I just got me and God to push me, It’s still unbelievab­le but I’m really excited,” she added. and that will be an additional bill on your pocket. In short, you can still have fun by yourself at the groove.

Try having fun indoors:

Having fun inside house will help you

the cut costs. If you enjoy yourself indoors it will be easy for you to just go to bed without paying for a taxi. Even if you may drive when coming back from the grove, you are still likely to spend money on gas as well as paying for food along the way. If you are indoors, you do not only keep yourself safe this winter but you will also be able to eat a home cooked meal.

Limit travelling too far:

Locally, more hangout spots are being establishe­d and I believe that in every township there is a proper place where one can enjoy and spend quality time. Like I said earlier, travelling calls for additional expenses. Just find a place near you and enjoy yourself. This will help you have fun in peace instead of having stress about transport while having fun.

These are some of the tips that can work to your advantage this winter. If you try them and you find out that they work, please contact me so we can enjoy those savings together during summer. Have a good weekend ahead. Cheers.
