Leano restaurant review

We are back with the reviews!

Leano which means 'plan' is a modern restaurant in Braamfontein. I had been wanting to go to this establishment for weeks as I was simply drawn by the name. It is female and black owned which explain the exquisite attention to detail.

The service is amazing and the establishment is clean. The menu still needs to be developed as some of the items that we wanted to order were not there. The cusine is traditional South African which I totally loved, the meal I had was delicious! I had Mogodu, with dumpling and Chakalaka. I also had their signature Dinaledi cocktail.

I loved their display of art on the walls which you could also buy. They had music playing in the background which was not too loud. The waitress informed us that they have live performances once in a while, I would definitely love to go when I have the time. This is a perfect spot for everyone definitely a nighttime, catch-up with your girlfriends and family sit-in type of place. I highly recommend this spot and I give it a 4/5.
Till next time,cheers!

Are you lazy or just burned out?

Good day, my love bugs. In a world that glorifies productivity, resilience, and endless multi-tasking, many women find themselves quietly battling a double-edged sword: executive dysfunction and emotional burnout. These terms can be intimidating, but they are deeply personal and often misunderstood, especially in women with functional depression. What is executive dysfunction? Kendra Kubala from Healthline wrote in her article Understanding Executive Dysfunction and How It Shows Up that executive dysfunction disrupts the brain's ability to plan, focus, remember instructions, and manage multiple tasks. It affects the executive functions of the brain, which are skills that help us get things done. It is not laziness or lack of willpower. It is often linked to mental health conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. For many women, executive dysfunction looks like: Starting tasks but never finishing them. Constantly missing deadlines or appointments Feeling overwhelmed ...

Editor's note: The 11th hour

Good day, my love bugs. In theme with Easter, I will share a scripture that has been with me through it all. “So let us not become afraid of doing good; for if we do not give up the time will come when we will reap the harvest” Galatians 6:9 A year older and hopefully wiser Every year especially in April I become reflective of my life, choices, relationships etc. I also think it is because Easter takes place in April. The only thought that ran through my life this time around is gratitude. I am grateful to be alive on this birthday. I am glad I did not give up and I am glad to have had the courage to try new things more importantly for sticking true to myself. I have to come to love myself even with my imperfections. April of 2025 has been a beautiful month. The 11th hour On a phone call with a friend, I was describing life at this moment to feel like the 11th hour. Everything worked out last minute and everything miraculously came together at the last moment. I graduated recently from...

The Power of an Everything Shower

Good day my love bugs. One surprisingly effective strategy for managing emotional burnout and executive dysfunction is incorporating rituals that offer both structure and sensory relief , like the trending "Everything Shower." This isn’t your quick rinse-and-go kind of shower. It’s a full, intentional self-care experience where you take time to exfoliate, deep-condition your hair, shave, cleanse, and moisturize — essentially doing everything in one extended, uninterrupted session. For women who feel scattered or overstimulated, the Everything Shower can be a grounding ritual that restores a sense of control and calm, even when the rest of life feels chaotic. More than just hygiene, the Everything Shower is about reclaiming your body and time. It provides a rare pause from emotional caregiving and the pressures of constant productivity. The repetition of nurturing steps of scrubbing, rinsing, soothing, becomes meditative and because it has a clear beginning,...
