SA’s Queen of DIY celebrated the milestone of hitting 100 000 subscribers on YouTube with yet another fun and interesting new video, showing viewers how to make their own piñata.
We asked the starlet some fun questions:
1. What would you like women to take from your show for Women’s Month?
I hope that everyone has a good laugh and learns a few useful tips and tricks that will make their lives a little more creative.
2. DIY is normally a guy’s thing – you have clearly busted that myth. Why is it important for ladies to know how to do things themselves?
Because anybody can! I love DIY because it is fun and very creative, and accomplishing a project or a hack gives me a great feeling of achievement. The more you “do it yourself”, the more you learn to see problems as challenges with solutions – not as impossible. It’s also great for self-confidence.
3. We currently love the DIY leopard-print bread. What is your fave how-to?
I love all my hacks, but some of my favourites are “How To Peel a Lot of Apples”, “How to Make a Loadshedding Survival Kit”, “How to Make a Braai Pie” and “How to Dolly Your Trolley”.
4. Describe Suzelle’s fashion style in three words.
Colourful, creative, fearless!
5. Do you put a lot of thought into your wardrobe?
I think of my wardrobe as an artist’s pallet and each outfit as an artwork. I’ve colour-coded my wardrobe, which has made putting together outfits easier and more fun! I’m always looking for new exciting clothing. Sometimes Marianne comes shopping with me – she has a very good eye.
6. Who is your fashion icon?
I don’t know if I have a fashion icon, but I do love 50s and 60s fashion. At the moment, I do love how daring and fun Katy Perry is with her fashion.
7. Who is your current celeb crush?
I’m still in love with Jan Hendrik! He’s the first South African chef to win a Michelin Star for his restaurant in France. You can watch me crush on him in my video “How to Make a Banana & Salted Caramel Popcorn Smoothie”. He’s very dreamy.
8. Your ultimate vacation destination is…
I’d love to go to Japan to see the cherry tree blossoms or to Spain to taste real paella.
9. If You could have one superhero power, it would be…
I’d love to be able to fly.
10. Can you share one quick and fun DIY with us?
A quick way to get the annoying little bobbles off your jerseys is to shave them off with a razor!
