my name’s Aléz.

 

I’m a writer, designer, tarot reader, and yoga teacher based in Cape Town. This is my website and happy place. Here you can spy what I’ve been writing, designing, trying, reading, and wearing. You can also hire me for your upcoming creative projects, and/or book a private yoga class. Now, sit back, relax, and have a scroll. Let me know if you’ve got any questions. Other than that? Enjoy!

THE BLOG

A collection of content for people who want conscious, honest, and in-depth stories about things that matter to their everyday. It aims to address assumptions on what deserves serious study, viewing video game releases, lipstick choice, and sex toy trends through fields like ethnography, moral philosophy, and psychology.

It talks with not for and not down to its readers; believing that the people reading features are at least as smart as the people writing them. It’s not for everyone, but it might well be for you.

Let me do that for you.

Hiring a freelancer can be scary. You don’t always know what you’re going to get, when you’re going to get it, or how much it’s going to cost you. You might feel it’s easier to stick with what (or who) you know, even if it means the work doesn’t meet your exacting standards.

I get it. But all of that ends now. After eight years in the content creation industry, working with dozens of clients on projects colossal and teeny, I have the professional and interpersonal skills needed to exceed your expectations. Hire me for your every editorial need - always at an affordable rate.

I’m Okay You’re Okay (1972)
Toni Morrison has passed at the age of eighty-eight, but it feels a hundred years too soon. ‘Playing in the Dark’ changed the way I saw, read, and wrote words. God, we’ve really lost a good one.

Maybe your weekend’s been good. Maybe it’s been kak. Either way, it can DEFINITELY be improved with this photo I found on Reddit of someone’s cat with water drops on its tiny lil double chin. Lawd. On the opposite end of this spectrum, if you’re looking for a downer, google what Tara Reid is doing in 2019.
