A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Mar 2018 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay #1700thPost

Hi Friends,

March is a month where you will start to feel the excitement with MWC products starting to reach your respective countries and there will be local launch events happening. If you have good contacts and you are lucky then you will definitely have all the invites and you might be even flown to outside for the global launch events. I am still trying to be that lucky and I am now working towards making my presence felt in the international markets. I will be there by 2020!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Jan 2017 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - This has been my favorite series of posts which really is my way to indulge in analysis and introspection of what I am doing in my life. It really gives me perspective but whether I follow the advice it gives me or not, it's my wish. I really love writing these series as these are my own memoirs of my experience with various brands and PR companies. 

2. Product Review - Nokia 8 #NokiaMobileZA #Nokia8 @HMDGlobal @NokiaMobile - http://www.thelifesway.com/2018/03/product-review-nokia-8-nokiamobileza.html - Nokia launched its new smartphones last year and I got this lovely Nokia 8 which I rolled around the city and it took some amazing pictures and some special kind of selfie feature too. I have not heard from them after that in a year now and don't know how these devices are performing in the South African markets.

I was not part of the first year's celebration party but many heartiest congratulations to the brand. I did so many posts for them in the last year. Let's see what the future holds for me and the brand. 

5.  @InspectaCarSA Launched 4 New Dealerships in A Single Day #17March2018 #Tshwane - http://www.thelifesway.com/2018/03/inspectacarsa-launched-4-new.html - Inspecta Car launched their new dealerships and asked some bloggers and celebrities to visit on a day trip to all of them. I was not able to join the same because of the birth of my second child but it was a nice outing for those who joined. Cars are something which is everyone's necessity and for some, it's pride too. Inspecta Cars takes care of both the requirements for people of all age groups. 

I have so many things to do in my life but I am not getting disciplined and not feeling powerful enough to even open my laptop in the evenings these few months. It's the lowest amount of screen time ever in my life in this first quarter of 2019. Earlier I was thinking Dell laptop (9 years old) as the main reason which is very slow but then I am not even opening my office Dell Laptop (4 years old) to write or share stuff. I think I need to focus on my health and keep my energy levels high with proper sleep and food habits. Let's see what Q2 of 2019 is in store for me! 

Cheers!!!

Celebrating World Monopoly Day #19March @Hasbro #MonopolyTokenMadness

Hi Friends,

In celebrating World Monopoly Day on 19 March (yes it’s a thing!) – I thought I will share 10 fun facts about the world’s favorite family game brand, which has over a thousand variations and is enjoyed by more than 1 billion players in 114 countries across the globe.

1. Charles Darrow developed the MONOPOLY game in 1933, using small items from around the home, including pennies or buttons, to allow players to track their journey around the game board.

2. Darrow’s young niece had a better idea and suggested using charms, like the ones on her bracelet, to serve as the iconic tokens fans know and love today.

3. The original tokens represented familiar items from 1930s America, including an iron, purse, lantern, race car, thimble, shoe, top hat, battleship, cannon, and rocking horse.

4. Mr. Monopoly was only introduced into the game in 1936

5. In 1943, when faced with a metal shortage during World War II, wooden tokens were substituted until 1945, when the metal tokens were brought back into the game.

6. The sack of money token was added in 1999 but retired less than a decade later.

7. In 2008 Mr. Monopoly began wearing an M-shaped silver metallic bowtie.

8. 2013 saw Mr. Monopoly ranked #12 on the Forbes Fictional 15 list of wealthiest characters, with a net worth of $1.2 Billion.

9. In 2015 Mr. Monopoly celebrated his 80th birthday by ringing the closing bell at the NASDAQ.

10. Last year Hasbro held a historic vote allowing fans to pick the eight tokens that would feature going forward. Over 4.3 million fans voted to secure spots for the: Scottie Dog; T-Rex; Top Hat, Car, Rubber Ducky, Cat, Penguin and Battleship token on board!

Enjoy this World Monopoly Day by becoming part of the Monopoly community and buy, trade and sell-the Monopoly way! Make your own memories and celebrate the evolution of the iconic Monopoly tokens with the  Hasbro Monopoly Token Madness board game which is making its way to the nearest store near YOU!

 

Cheers!!!
