In November my sister told me she was expecting (Frame 1) it was so cute there were tears involved. I immediately started planning a gender reveal. Last week I managed to host and give her the gender reveal she really wanted. We had such a good time and I’m so excited for them
Not me waking up on the front cover of
@HeraldZimbabwe
. I can't believe how far my passion has taken me and the doors it has opened and will open for me in future. Great way to start the year. Let's go 2021🎉🎉🎉
I can't believe I woke up in S.A because of Mixology😱 A whole brand flew me out yesterday so I can teach on Mixology and some of my favorite cocktails 🖤
I am 30 and I have never been formally employed in Zimbabwe. I have had to slave away in other countries for work experience. When will this end?

After Jameson UK sent me that package. I had a meeting with thier Zim distributor and they wanted to work with me. So today I had my first opportunity to work for them. Spent my day at Queen of hearts making Jameson cocktails. Only way is up from here.
Guys! I'm so excited I recieved 6 bottles from
@jameson_uk
today. Thank you so much. I definitely will be working on more summer recipes soon💃
You guys have been so supportive. I would like to giveaway a bottle of Caskmates to one of my followers who retweets&likes this post
You guys!! Look who is in Twiga Air Tanzanian's Inflight Magazine. A whole me. People outside of Zim will be reading about my journey. Wont he do it? 🙏😭
I never thought I would turn down so many events because we are fully booked. I never thought I would get to a stage where event planners say "the client said they want YOU there." Lord I'm so grateful for these blessings.
Yesterday marked 2 years with the dude. Argh everything was so intentional. Everything was so me. He made brunch for my sister and I. Made his own bouquet of flowers. He got cake from my fave. Mobile Spa came through. He set up and made dinner whilst I got my treatments.. Gone ❤️
Not me getting a contract for recipe creation and a whole master class for a brand that originated in Barbados launching in SA. Look at my God. Your girl has gone international for real.
The gango at Homeground is so good right now it’s unmatched. Now I’m on a mission to try out different spots. Do you have any gango suggestions?
This is how my first homeground experience went down 😂
I also think parents, siblings, aunties and uncles need to stop trying to be the cool one in the family by giving alcohol, cigarettes and weed to minors at gatherings. So many times I have had to explain and argue with family member because we refuse to serve anyone under 18..
Dating someone who is supportive and just wants to see you win is unmatched. Sometimes you just overwhelmed and they just do little things everyday to make your life easier. A true blessing.
Your girl was on Good Morning Zimbabwe today. Got to spoil the team with my cocktail bags. A whole me on national telly talking about The Mixologist. ❤ to Zaza!
We have suffered guys. Our parents should have retired enjoying their but they cannot because they lost everything in 2008. They worry about thier kids. But you want me to worry about an employer that doesn't exist. Hakutorina mabasa acho

The Herald: "Harare's beverage whisperer"
My Dad: "Mamuona here mwanawangu, arikuenda kure and she hasn't started. Keep making us proud my daughter"
I live for making my parents so proud.
From posting brunch content to catering for small intimate brunches. I feel so blessed for all these opportunities. For the first time The Mixologist covered the food and the cocktails! I am grateful🙏🏽
The son of that Masvingo Judge was let out on bail after slitting Sipho's throat over an iPhone. Hopewell doesnt get bail for speaking truth and exposing corruption? This is the Zimbabwe we are living in.

Hi guys. Maswera sei? I felt really drained last night. I spent the day off social media to recharge. Don't forget to take care of yourselves good people. Self care is important. We need everyone to be okay.
#ZimbabweanLivesMatter
I organised a pizza making party for a clients birthday celebrations. Everyone got to make their own pizzas with their favorite toppings. The vibes were correct, 🍕 was flowing.
What started off as an idea for my sister's birthday is now part of my hustle. Chuffed 😊
Weren’t roora squads always a thing but people didn’t dress up? Paunoroorwa hanti you cousins and friends come together to help you cook, serve etc. The same people will help u kuperekwa too. I mean if we are going to come together anyway why not dress up & create memories?
I've worked so hard the last 4 years. I started the Mixologist this week 4 years ago and this week I get to announce my biggest brand deal. I wanted to give up so many times but most of you kept me going and encouraging me. I'm thankful for the support, we have just started. 🍻
I was invited over to tour Mr Sauce (Efoods) Headquarters in Workington. Pretty awesome to see a growing local manufacturer making 100% Zimbabwean products! They gave me so much product I cant wait to try out in my kitchen 💃
🍸 Shaken not stirred🍸
It’s so lovely being captured doing what I love the most. The journey to being your favorite mixologist has been hard but worth it. I have found myself and my magic and I must say I love it here.

Last night I met this kid. He is like 19. He was so fascinated by me and my equipment. He was telling me mixology is his passion. So I let him experiment a little. I waa blown away. The kid is good. I got so happy imagining a Zim with a mixology community and cocktail culture.
Vlogging for me is about showing your daily life as it is. Our pots and pans get old and that’s okay. I’m showing you how I cook this meal and this is pan I actually use. Why is that problem? Is this not the relatable content you ask for? BFR
Throwback to Sunday. I hosted a little brunch for my family and we had a really good time. I was surrounded by so much love. Also I lowkey felt cute 😊.
Yesterday's bleesing ceremony was so special my team. When I first got to know Anesu and Sasha at their friend's event in 2019. Sasha said, "You guys are going to run the bar at my roora one day!"
Fast forward to 2021, we did!

I've said this through out the years and I'm going to say here again. DO NOT be embarrassed of the hustle or talent that feeds you. Embrace it, nuture it and grow it.
I can’t even count the number of times I have to fake making a strong cocktail because a guy has asked me to make their ladies drink stronger without her consent.
Not me getting 3 enquiries from South Africa for 2021 1😭. I might not get to go. But I'm so happy it shows that there is growth. Won't he do it. Will be international one day IJN 🤞🏾.
I got to host a Master class in Livingstone, Zambia yesterday. The group came from the states. I was so nervous & also humbled that they specifically wanted ME to come from Harare. It went so well they absolutely loved my work, we ran out of stock & I made new connections too.
I always notice how I'm ignored or treated differently in the industry or on socials. I just ignore and continue to put out my work. I will continue to be me, supportive & very creative . The rejection hits hard. But my vision is bigger than that.
Went wine shopping and I’m thinking of doing a series of wines that are 8 bucks and under but are really good. Also plugging people in where to get them.
If any of your hard liquor is freezing just know your supplier is selling you fake alcohol! Whiskey, gin, tequila, jaegar, vodka, rum should not freeze.
Just finished two events. Now in rushing home cause I'm teaching couples Mixology 101. I'm so proud of this growth people in Australia and America asking me to teach them mixology 🙌🏾.
Thinking about my brand & its growth. In 2019 I told my team that we should be running up to 3 events a day by 2021 and we are doing it. God has been faithful & more is coming!
Pictures from yesterday's roora and an intimate birthday dinner.
Please dont stop celebrating everything you see as a win. Don't mind what people say or think. If you see it as a W. Be proud of yourself and celebrate it.
I always use the same cab to do my errands. These day he posts my cocktail menu to help me promote and if he sees liquor sales he gives me a heads up even though he doesnt drink. I think it's such a sweet gesture. Bless him. 🙏
Healthy friendships are so beautiful. Going on brunch and coffee dates. Being real when your homie is wrong or needs advice. Scheduling wine and games nights. Just love, laughter and good vibes. I want to make more of these friendships this year. 🕯
