Motoring enthusiasts can admire an impressive collection of classic and vintage vehicles, each with its own story and timeless appeal.

The initiative encourages creators worldwide to embrace their imagination and express it through digital art.


Now is Yours: Huawei Deepens Dialogue with Young Consumers

Another highlight of the event was the debut of Huawei’s new vibrant brand position, "Now is Yours." Representing its commitment to engage more closely with a new generation of global consumers, “Now is Yours” is underpinned by openness and inclusivity, aiming to create cultural and emotional resonance through technology that is both innovative and human.

Bucket Tech: HUAWEI WATCH D2


HUAWEI WATCH D2 brings 24-hour blood pressure monitoring to users’ wrists. It uses an inflatable airbag to measure blood pressure at set intervals, with reminders during the day and automatic readings at night. The watch supports various measurement scenarios, including standing, sitting, or reclining during the day, and performs automatic measurements during sleep.

ABPM is recognised as the gold standard for diagnosing and managing hypertension. It’s recommended by major health guidelines, including the ISH 2020 Global Hypertension Practice Guidelines, the 2017 ACC/AHA Blood Pressure Guidelines, and the 2018 ESC/ESH Guidelines for the management of Arterial Hypertension.

Lightweight Comfort with Premium Simplicity

The HUAWEI WATCH D2 is designed for comfort and convenience. It is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for continuous wear to monitor blood pressure throughout the day. Boasting a 1.82-inch large screen with a new colourful user interface and a 2.5D floating design. It’s also much smaller than traditional upper-arm monitors, with an ultra-narrow 26.5mm airbag.

Available in Black and Gold, the watch features a sweat-resistant, skin-friendly fluoroelastomer strap with TPU soft rubber, ensuring all-day comfort.


Comprehensive health management

The HUAWEI WATCH D2 offers comprehensive health tracking, including beat-by-beat ECG analysis, SpO2 monitoring, pulse wave arrhythmia analysis, heart rate, stress levels, and skin temperature monitoring. With a single tap, users can measure nine body indicators and generate a Health Glance report that highlights potential health risks. This includes measurements for heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, stress, body temperature, ECG, vascular elasticity, pulse wave arrhythmia, and sleep breathing awareness. Additionally, the HUAWEI WATCH D2 is the first Huawei smartwatch to feature blood pressure analysis in the Health Glance function.

It also brings features such as over 80 exercise modes, with daily task tracking around exercise, diet, sleep, weight, and stress, to help users develop habits that form a healthy lifestyle to support blood pressure management.


HUAWEI WATCH D2 is equipped with the brand-new TruSense system, released earlier this year, the system has enabled Huawei to take a major leap forward in its sports health monitoring module and algorithms. The HUAWEI TruSense System is setting a new digital health & fitness paradigm that's defined by six key characteristics: accuracy, comprehensiveness, speed, flexibility, openness, and iteration (continual monitoring).

To ensure the long-term accuracy of its continuous vital sign monitoring, as well as deliver faster results, Huawei invested heavily in optical, electrical, and material science research, with the aim of overcoming the challenges that different skin tones, wrist sizes, and weather conditions pose to various sensors. Thanks to Huawei's innovations, the accuracy of basic indicators such as heart rate, SpO2, and blood pressure has been certified by authoritative industry bodies.

The HUAWEI WATCH D2 is now available for purchase through Huawei’s online store, HUAWEI Experience Stores, and select retailers, starting at R8,499.00. It is also offered at select Vodacom Stores from R245 per month over 36 months. For added peace of mind, Huawei offers the HUAWEI Care+ Service, available as an add-on with your new smartwatch.

Bucket Babe: Tara Martin

Greetings and welcome to another long awaited instalment of one of the most loved features on this blog, the Bucket Babe! Due to the busy schedule of new car launches and test drives, not to mention all that is going on in the tech space, this segment sort of took a back seat on the blog but we will try to bring you every now and then the best of what South Africa has to offer in terms of beauty. Today's featured model has a passion for film and with that has her honors in film studies, with this she has written two movies and a television series. She has other passions as well which she will enlighten you on in the interview, and you will see she has quite the charm in her answers in our Q&A with her. We wish her all the best in her career and hope to see her name more often on the silver screen and her face on many campaigns. 

Tara Martin



BIO

Hi! My name is Tarz - I am really bad at talking about myself but here’s an attempt! 

So I am 23 years old, and am really proud of myself for having graduated my honours year with distinction in 2020 despite all that was going on. I did my honours in film studies with a focus on scriptwriting and filmic editing – having written two movies, a television series and a short film; as well as produced two short films which you can watch on my Instagram page! (@Tarzmartin) My real passion lies in psychology, however, which is why a majority of my honours projects surrounded a host of misunderstood mental illnesses. I plan to return to university to pursue psychology after a few more years of working and gathering experience.  

My hobbies include modelling (most obviously), cosplay, playing video games, spending time in the gym, watching horror movies and taking my dog to cool new places to see how he will react – the best one so far was seeing him chase around naked people on Sandy bay, the nudist beach. Very very funny (He is a Great Dane for reference).

If I could offer advice to the reader of this article it would be Wabi-wabi – The Japanese philosophy of beauty being found in imperfection. The biggest thing modelling has taught me is to embrace the things that I see as flaws, as they are what make me stand out: a broken vase fixed with gold resin is much more interesting than a glass that never broke at all!

Q&A

1. Hot girls and hot cars go hand in hand, what ride would you like to  see yourself in?
  • Ever since I watched Supernatural for the first time in Highschool I have always dreamt of driving a 1967n Chevvy Impala! To make it more “me” though, ideally it would be black with a ruby red interior!  
2. What sandwich are you most likely to make for me? and will it be toasted or plain?
  • I pride myself in my grilled cheese sandwich, so I’d have go with that! It’s no ordinary grilled cheese, however. Three different cheeses in between two thick slices of ciabatta bread, topped with a medley of fragrant dried herbs and fried on a pan with hot butter. Ideally, this would be paired with a big bowl of hearty home-made tomato soup!
3. Everyone loves popcorn (well I think they do) what is your topping/ sprinkle of choice?
  •  I love popcorn! Many late nights have been spent munching on a bag of popcorn. If we are talking spices alone, I love traditional butter flavoured popcorn. If we are going to be a bit crazy, I sometimes like to add a drizzle of honey to my butter popcorn. It may sound strange but trust me, it is amazing!
4. Dream cover shoot?
  • Definitely Vogue. I love their high-fashion, quirky and fun themed covers. My favourite kind of shoot is an artistic one, so it would be right up my alley.
5. If given a choice, full time model or full time executive, what would you choose?
  • I would have to say corporate. I think it would be an awesome challenge to head a project or product that I could be excited about! I also like to keep my modelling as a hobby – I fear losing my love for it if it became my full-time career.
6. Growing up you must have had someone you aspired to be, so who is your role model?
  • When I was very very little my role model was Courage the Cowardly dog. As silly as it is, Courage inspired me to face a lot of my fears – that is what the tattoo on my back represents; the shadow monster from Courage the Cowardly Dog. My mom is also a big inspiration. She always taught me that independence is everything for a woman.
7. Anyone holding that hand yet? or is it available?
  • I do have a boyfriend whom I have actually been with for about 5 years now! I am a very lucky lady to have him.
8. Obviously being a female, fashion would be a big interest to you, do you have a favourite label/ designer?
  •  I actually don’t have a favourite fashion label or designer. If I had to choose though – I love a Steve Madden shoe!
9. What type of music gets your booty shaking?
  • I love all genres of music (yes, even country). There are songs in all genres that I jam to on the regular. Two classics that always get me dancing though are: “The next episode – Snoop Dogg” and “Downtown – Macklemore ft Eric Nally”.
10. Which city is your dream party destination?
  • Definitely Tokyo-Japan. Everything from the history to the food to the architecture in Japan just enthralls me. I would move tomorrow if I could!

Meet the gorgeous....

Charissa Cooper


BIO

A small town girl living a big city life. There is absolutely more to me than meets the eye. I have obtained a BA degree in graphic design, specializing in Advertising, Business Management, Communication Science. I have also obtained my Cabin Crew license as a flight attendant whereby I'm absolutely passionate about Aviation Medicine. 

I'm passionate about helping people and believe a small change can make a bigger difference. I'm a nerd at heart and enjoy reading the news and yes, I enjoy playing COD from time to time. Yes, I'm definitely a Jack-of-all-trades! 

My hobbies includes: modelling, photography, writing, drawing, art, gymming, traveling & exploring - I'm quite adventurous. I enjoy spending time in nature and at the beach. I'm very ambitious and believe that time equals money. I work hard and believe also that balance is key in life. 

A few accomplishments: I have worked with various of brands, but working for Wonderbra SA which was a sponsor for Miss SA was an absolute modelling career highlight. I also have been featured in SARIE magazine and recently got two cover features in Australia and America, representing South Africa. 




My first article got published in a magazine  that I have written based on my project called, "Dr. LOVE GURU" - whereby I help and give valuable guidance for relationships, marriages, finding love, self esteem matters etc. My first topic was based on Long distance relationships. @mollmagazine 

As a model I do believe that I have more to give than meets the eye. To break the boundaries regarding body & image sexualization. Most models get judged based purely appearance or their job. I would like to break the Stigma regarding this as to be beautiful is a form of art not  judgment. 

As a flight attendant I have met many walks of life. To serve with joy, to create memorable experiences and to provide  passengers with excellent customer service - was the most amazing experience. The sky is truly a place I call home.

I was also awarded as a flight attendant with various of compliments from passengers and a Golden star for excellent customer service - this was a very prestigious moment in my life. I got featured 3 times in the News as a flight attendant alongside with Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi.



I truly miss flying - and yes, I got a job with the number one Airline in the World, Emirates. 

Unfortunately, due to Covid, I couldn't go to Dubai and the job opportunity got withdrawn. Life has its ups and downs, but where one door closes another one opens. I do believe I will fly soon again! 

For now I'm a model in SA, writer, Influencer and Coordinator / team manager for @letsgoo.co.za - a fantastic company for influencers of all ages! 

Where there is hope within there a better dream and opportunity for tomorrow. The sky is after all the limit... 

Future goals: I would definitely like to start up my two businesses this year which I'm excited about. 

I also would love to fly again - and who knows maybe become a pilot. 

A definite future goal would be to publish my 1st book. .
