Tyla launches limited-edition smoothie to support SA girls
The singer has a new venture: a limited-edition smoothie called 'Bliss,' created in collaboration with Erewhon.
It's packed with coconut, mango, pineapple, and dragon fruit, all swirled together with a floral hint of hibiscus tea.
The base? MALK Organic Coconut Milk and Vita Coco's coconut water. For a boost, Tyla adds vanilla collagen and dragon fruit coconut cream, according to Delish.
The result is a creamy, vibrant treat that's as good for you as it looks on Instagram.
But 'Bliss' goes beyond the taste buds. Tyla's mission is clear: 'The Bliss smoothie supports '18twenty8', an organisation in South Africa for the girls.
So, yeah, get your Bliss smoothie,' she says, smiling as she prepares the drink on TikTok.
A portion of every sale goes to 18twenty8®, a non-profit that empowers young South African women by supporting their education and personal growth. For Tyla, it's a cause close to her heart.
Fans are loving it. Social media is buzzing with reviews.
'Very tropical and sweet. My new favourite Erewhon smoothie, it supports young women in South Africa,' raves one TikTok user.
Another adds, 'This is really yummy, I actually really like this. Tyla did really good with this smoothie'.
Even Erewhon regulars, used to celebrity collaborations from the likes of Hailey Bieber and Nara Smith, are impressed by Tyla's creative twist.
Of course, this LA treat comes with a price tag. At $22 (about R420), it's not your average corner café smoothie.
But fans are lining up, eager to sip, snap, and support a good cause. 'You just wanna be fresh and a bad bitch,' Tyla jokes, showing off the collagen boost in her recipe.
It's a reminder that local stars can make a global impact, blending style, health, and social good in one refreshing sip.
As Tyla herself puts it, 'Bliss is for the girls. For the culture. For the future.' So, will 'Bliss' make its way to South African shores? Only time will tell.
For now, Tyla's fans can bask in the pride of seeing a homegrown star shake up the world—one smoothie at a time.

'Sad Girl' books: the trend that's got us feeling all the feels - should we celebrate or worry?
In a world grappling with climate anxiety, economic uncertainty, unattainable beauty standards and the ever-looming pressure to perform and succeed, Gen Z and younger millennials are turning to literature that feels like them. These novels - often moody, introspective and emotionally raw - centre around young women navigating mental health struggles , societal pressure, alienation and the quest for identity. From TikTok r eels to #BookTok shelves at local bookstores, 'Sad Girl' books have become the literary obsession of a generation. But while some hail these books as honest portrayals of the modern female psyche, others worry they glamorise depression and self-destructive behaviour. So, are 'Sad Girl" books empowering or harmful? And what does their popularity say about the times we're living in? What is a 'Sad Girl' book? A 'Sad Girl" book is a type of contemporary literature that centres on emotionally complex, often troubled female protagonists who are navigating the messy, painful and sometimes mundane aspects of life. These stories are typically told from a first-person or deeply introspective point of view, with themes that revolve around mental health, loneliness, existential dread, female desire, body image, burnout, heartbreak and the search for meaning in a complex world. These books aren't necessarily about "plot" - they're about mood and emotion. And why are they popular? The rise of 'Sad Girl Lit" is no coincidence. It's a product of its time - our time. In a world grappling with climate anxiety, economic uncertainty, unattainable beauty standards and the ever-looming pressure to perform and succeed, Gen Z and younger millennials are turning to literature that feels like them. Online, hashtags like #SadGirlLit and #FeministFiction rack up millions of views. There's also a rebellion against toxic positivity - this idea that people, especially women, must always be 'okay', always healing, always hustling. 'Sad Girl' books say: It's okay to be a mess sometimes.

Stay tuned . . . I want to be the best bowler in the world, says Proteas Women's star Nonkululeko Mlaba
Proteas star Nonkululeko Mlaba shows off her SA Women's Cricketer of the Year award. Picture: CSA Image: CSA JOHANNESBURG - Nonkululeko Mlaba rushes off into a corner, hands her canteen of silverware to Proteas Women's team media liaison Lita Gqirana, and calls on her personal make-up artist. 'We'll be on camera right? … Okay, just give a few minutes to top up,' Mlaba says ahead of our interview. The left-arm spinner is not just an outstanding cricketer, but she's also a fashionista that looks splendid in her gold gown that's fitting for South Africa's newly-crowned Women's Cricketer of the Year. 'So, this dress was made by my friend. I went to school with her,' before admitting she had overcome a fashion faux pas on the night. 'Actually, I had side arms on the side, but then I was celebrating my friend's award winning. And then I don't know what happened. Everything just went south. 'But then I tried to make it look like this now. Hopefully you're not going to get mad at me, girl. I still look pretty!' Mlaba said. A little dress mishap was certainly not going to spoil a glorious night at Emperors Palace for the 25-year-old, who swept the board at Cricket SA's annual awards ceremony. Along with the premier prize in South African cricket, she was also honoured with the Women's T20 International Player of the Year, Women's Players' Player of the Year and the Best Delivery Fuelled by KFC. 'It means a lot, firstly. And to be honest, I've been working hard because I want to be the best bowler in the world,' Mlaba said. 'So there you've heard it. I'm setting high standards for myself. And it doesn't stop here. 'I'm only reaching higher and higher. So just watch the space, stay tuned. There's more to come from me. This is not the end.' The 25-year-old from KwaMashu in KwaZulu-Natal has created history during the past 12 months when she became the first South African women cricketer to record a 10-wicket haul in the once-off Test against England in Bloemfontein. But despite the achievement, Mlaba's focus remains on the white-ball formats as she openly admits the longer version of the game 'is a bit boring'. 'To be honest, I don't really like Tests because it's long. I've watched a lot of Tests from guys and I'm like, this is too much for me. It was boring,' she said. 'Um, but yeah, I played against England and it turned out to be the best Test I've ever played, so far. Maybe as the time goes by or the more I get to play Test matches, then I'll fall in love with the game.'

'The Blessing': Vincent Tshituka and wife share sweet wedding post
Springbok Vincent Tshituka and his wife Katlego Monare are sharing more content from their picturesque wedding which took place a week ago. The rugby player and his influencer bride wed in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends. Last month, the DRC-born player proudly made his green and gold debut against Italy at Loftus. In an Instagram post, Vincent Tshituka shared a clip of his beautiful wedding ceremony to wife Katlego Monare. 'He who finds a wife finds a good thing,' he says to the camera, which captures him weeping as he waits for his bride at the altar. The couple received showers of blessings as rain soaked them while they said their vows. The clip featured imagery of the couple enjoying intimate moments together and celebrating with their friends and family. 'The blessing,' read the caption of the emotional post. In November last year, Vincent Tshituka and Katlego Monare celebrated their lobola negotiations with a ceremony merging their Congolese and South African cultures. The Springbok also posted a screenshot of a DM he had sent to his partner in 2022. In it, the brazen rugby player stated his intentions to marry the beautiful woman. 'I'll come back to this in a couple of years to see', she jokingly responded. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
