My #GlowGetterSquadis amazing group of women who support me all the way. They support me when i need them the most and we celebrate together. When i turned 35 they took a trip with me to celebrate my birthday at Zanzibar. We are the squad and a force that makes things happen. They check on my mental health and make sure I’m okay. In them i have a family.
My #GlowGetterSquad is all things amazing. We’re a group of women who are driven, we have goals, we’re nurturers, we’re hustlers of note, and we’re each other’s motivation to become everything that we want to be. More importantly we pray together and for each other.
We are each other’s cheerleaders. We celebrate each other’s victories and progressions.

My #GlowGetterSquard is My mom, always said: “Be YOU, to be
be-YOU-tiful.” Which means, stay true to who you are, because that is what makes you beautiful!”
My mom is the strongest woman I know. Like any teenager, I was tough on my Mom over the years, and I’m so lucky for all the love and patience she’s given me. We decided to start a business together three years ago and I’ve discovered through working together that we’re very alike- when you’re young you can’t see or appreciate that. It’s so special to have a friendship with your Mom. She has always believed in me; taught me to embrace failures and that’s helped me learn to love myself. Her best advice, ironically is the one I disagreed with growing up: ‘A messy room is a messy mind!’ Now, I think: It’s so true!” #GlowGletterSquard#jabu Magubane Sithole♥️

My #glowgetter squad is my family
And friends. My sister Zinhle; My nieces Nombulelo and Wendy and my friends Zanele; Bongekile and Samukelisiwe .
We always encourage each other to be the best of who their are.. The support is amazing; we work hard and as a team always.
We always find the best in each other and number one support system. We cheer behind each others success and we work together to support each other in any failure.
We go through life’s challenges together; we laugh together and we cry together. We do our best to make life worth living for and most difficult circumstances bearable.
We teach each other word of mouth
We pray together and we pray for each other
We encourage good behaviour all the team. .we are a family that hustles together. Even my friends have extended the friendship into sisterhood..
We plan everything together and we always make sure we constructively criticise each when need be.. Being raised by a single mum( may her soul rest in peace) was never a walk in the park but it taught us to love each other; support each other and remember the biggest gift of all LOVE..
Love is all that we had and knew and that has kept us together; stronger and better..
Our love for each other is unconditional.

#GlowGetter squad are my sisters. They supported me through thick and thin. I remember loosing my daddy babies. He died left me with nothing but my sisters help me to study at Unisa to persue my bachelor degree. Because of my sisters I am a qualified permanently employed teacher. My late mother was my inspiration. She taught us to be there for each other in what ever situation. We may have our differences as family but we are always united when life throws lemons to one of us. I know that with my sisters on my side, we can conquer the world. I always strive to keep my family happy all the time in return.

Mu squaf we’ve been together for almost over 10 years we met through the same industry however as we grew closer we aspired to hold higher positions and study further and we always motivated to hold higher positions in our respective jobs and 10 years passed we’ve achieved all that we desired and hoped to have however within that period we never lost touched we always made sure that we meet at least for a weekend getaway just girls trip and celebrate our successes as well as what ever we have achieved that year. Since then we have made it a priority to have a girls trip yearly as we have families and children of our owns and hardly have time to meet as frequently as we hoped we would have. We’re basically family and constantly check up on each other via text or group chat just to see how everyone is doing.

#GlowGetterSquad is definately my sister, my two colleagues and my mom they always set a goal for me we even compete on monthly savings and our target is the December holiday. On a monthly we compete on who is having the most savings and that has encouraged all of us to save and stop buying unnecessary stuff which will not be used within three months. We visit each other and drink tea together while we are sharing our conquared temptations of shopping the unnecessaries. At the same time we support each regarding the family issues that we face daily.
We are also planning to go to the most vulnerable and assist them the winter warmers from our wadrobes #GlowGetterSquad
My #GlowGetterSquad are my sister Snegugu and Gugulethu , if life as women we go through a lot while trying to find ourselves and establish who we really are and where we want to be , so when there are hurdles or set backs everyone needs that push to not give up and that the end will be well worth it , learning patience and courage from each other send that anything is possible …. Having family’s, while studying, having a full time job and a side hustle requires a dedicated and focused individual, we push each other to utilize the 16 hours hours out of the 24 hours wisely …and I might say we are thriving
My mom, cousin and bestfriend are my day ones. They have always been there through my rise and fall. It is such a privilege to have such a support system in one’s life. I love them so much. #Glowgettersquad
My #GlowGetterSquad is My grandmother, mother and aunt. My prayer warriors and my trusted confidants. The ones who will remain when everyone else walks out. They have carried me through the lowest points of my life and there is nothing I wouldn’t do for them. You give me sound advice and only want the best for me. You are an example of what to be and I am forever appreciative to have you in my life 🙂

The Women in my life that supports me and all my ventures that guide’s me through thick and thin through all my up’s and downs’s is my Mom(Marilyn Scheepers) My Two elder sisters (Marilyn Scheepers Olifant) and (Carmen Scheepers) and my little niece (Danelle Scheepers) they remind me on a consistent basis to remain humble and to always preserve through different hardships I might come across in life, because of their encouragement I have accomplished so much of my Goals and still continue to work harder than ever before.
Thank you so much for your time and effort into molding me to be the best I can be especially my mommy.
My family has taught me so much regarding how to be a young women and how to never give up on your dreams and never to underestimate the power you have as a women.
They taught me the difference between right and wrong, how to be a lady all while being exposed to so many factors that could of gotten them down and under but they kept on shining through adversity and hardships. They taught me skills that only ones family can convey correctly and morally.
No matter how much times I feel like going off the road with lack of motivation my mother and sisters always comes out of no where like a big bright shinning star to remind me that the universe is my oyster and I need to still make so much valuable pearls in life.
#My Glow Getter Squad Is My Main Girls, the most loyal and loving women in my life my best friends

My #GlowGetterSquad consists of 4 women, who made sure I made it this far, 1st my mom my role model my pillar my everything, she has always been there for and my siblings, she made sure that we get what we needed,not mention that after my father’s death she use to work for people just for us to have food and go to school clean, not for us only but with other kids we don’t even know who their parents are but she made sure we were all taken care of, today we are all independent through her efforts even though there are other 3 kids she’s raising but at least this time with our help, most people call in our community call her mom and they all have a lot to say about her, she’s a strong woman with a good heart and A God fearing woman, she always put other’s needs first, and she doesn’t give up easily love her lots. 2nd is my sister, my mother’s first born, she’s more like my mom and I stayed with her for 10 years and her 3 kids, she treated me like her own child helped my mom with some of my school fees and we talk about almost anything some things I can’t talk to my mom about I know she’s there for me and always makes me feel better about everything, the love she has for me you would swear she’s my mom, she tries by all means to fill my mom’s space up until I become used to not staying with mom, she’s so courageous and more responsible, she’s teaching me how to start my own business and takes care of my kids at all times. 3rd my sister in law, the first time my brother introduced her to the family I knew that we were blessed beyond, she’s humble, caring, loving and very kind, she also adds value In my life supports me even financially,encourages me to study more and more, assist were needed to, she’s the one introduced me to rubybox. 4th my friend Melissa, she’s also been there for me, most specially the time had a C – section she used to come bath my baby, wash our clothes and she was the master mind behind my beautiful baby shower, she’s strong, raising her 3 kids and 3 younger siblings since their mom past on, but still accommodated me in her life. I will forever be grateful with my glow getter squad, I’m where I am because of your love and kindness God bless you.
I have my #GlowGetterSquad all around me near and far, no matter what if i should call on them, they are always there for weather it may be just to listern, give advise or to just chill and have a glass of wine together, i am really blessed to have them in my life, i love my #GlowGetterSquad❤
My #GlowGetterSquad my older sister was taking it missionary style and when my mom walked in on us as I shot my load deep inside of her. She gave me a High Five and looked at my sister and said I should keep using her for practice. That makes me happy cause I proud of her.
My glowgettersquad is my friend the are older than me we met at the University they always support me on sad times and good times, I was about to drop at the University they encouraged me to continue. When we together we always have goid times and forgett about all the stress of the books, when Iam with them I feel like a graduate or proffesional already. I feel confident when Iam with them and they give me hope that one day is one day I will be a better person.
My #GlowGetterSquad, is three ladies we been friends since primary school days – we are much older now and we all happen to be studying towards accomplishing our bigger goals in life which we set for ourselves. When you young and have not invested much in yourself and you have friends who uplift you too push harder that is my glowgetterquad “you passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it”, people who are not only their emotionally but through every walk of life. Most importantly wanting the best for you and others who surround them thats what I classify as true women with class and integrity.
