WINS PROVINCIAL

ENTREPRENEUR AWARD

A leading female KwaZulu-Natal farmer has
been honoured with the “Female

Guys, this is what we read
from your shoe choice

The eyes might be the window to the soul, but shoes are the window to just about everything else. What you choose to put on your feet actually does reflect
something about you, whether it be laziness (socks with slip-on sandals), obliviousness (untied sneakers) or keen style savvy (those trendy suede desert boots we

you're wearing armor. And if you

The timeless look

Decades have come and gone, seasons have
come and gone but a jean with a white top still
remain the classy timeless look for every girl.
In your wardrobe you are to have these two
items. How can it go out of style if our style
muse Linda Mtoba still makes it look so hot?

Choosing the right stretch

No matter the body type, look for
skinny jeans with plenty of stretch.
Skinny jeans are designed to be
tight-fitting, but if they are too
tight in the knees, crotch, or rear,
they are very uncomfortable to sit
in. The ideal pair is stretchy
enough to provide ample room for
movement. However, they should
maintain elasticity and shape
without becoming saggy or loose.

Linda Mtoba The classic biggy of all time
picture cred: instagram
Oversized shirts are one of those summer
classics that come out each year and never get
old. They are so versatile and easy to wear
whether on the beach or out for the day. You
can wear it pretty much everywhere. It’s casual,
loose-fitting style meaning you can throw it
on over jeans but it is also long enough to
work as a light summer dress when buttoned
up.

Flat attack: trendy summer sandals

Now that the weather’s getting warmer, it’s time to think about which sandals to choose from the
endless sea of options. Say goodbye to the aches and tenderness that come with wearing high
heels. Remember, these sandals leave your feet on display so make sure they’re looking good and
perfectly polished. Cracked heels and chipped nail varnish are a definite no-no.

AngerUncontrolled anger can affect your Disorders,

relationships, your job and your health.
Rage can take over your life and result

uin depression, violence and suicidal
feelings. Your kids, neighbours and co-
workers can also be at risk from
uncontrolled outbursts and erratic
behaviour.
What Causes Anger?
A leading cause of anger is a person's
environment. Stress, financial issues,
abuse, poor social or familial situations,
and overwhelming requirements on
your time and energy can all contribute
to the formation of anger. As with
disorders such as alcoholism, anger
issues may be more prevalent in
individuals who were raised by parents
with the same disorder. Genetics and
your body's ability to deal with certain
chemicals and hormones also play a
role in how you deal with anger; if your
brain doesn't react normally to
serotonin, you might find it more
difficult to manage your emotions.

What Are the Types of Anger

Disorders?
Individuals who have trouble
controlling anger or who experience
anger outside of a normal emotional
scope can present with different types
of anger disorders. Different experts
have published contradicting lists of
anger types, but some widely accepted
forms of anger include:

Ÿ Chronic anger, which is prolonged,
can impact the immune system and
be the cause of other mental
disorders

Ÿ Passive anger, which doesn't always
come across as anger and can be
difficult to identify

Ÿ Overwhelmed anger, which is
caused by life demands that are too
much for an individual to cope
with

Ÿ Self-inflicted anger, which is
directed toward the self and may be
caused by feelings of guilt

Ÿ Judgmental anger, which is
directed toward others and may
come with feelings of resentment

Ÿ Volatile anger, which involves
sometimes-spontaneous bouts of
excessive or violent anger
