About Brandslut: “My name is Misha and this is the blog I write; Brandslut. I started it in 2010. I was looking for a place to put my brand/product/consumer thoughts and here we are, four radical years later. Yes, I have a day job, and no, blogging doesn’t really pay. From 8 to 5 I’m a Digital Marketing Manager and manage one of South Africa’s premiere specialist bank brands. I love what I do. And I also love gin and running; preferably not together. I’ve been fortunate to have lived on four continents and now call Johannesburg home. I’m the mother of a Russian Blue cat called Falafels. She’s awesome. Travel is my ultimate indulgence and I aim to do lots more of it – both locally and abroad. You’ll see more travel writing on the blog as I weave the brand stories of places into it.” Visit www.brandslut.co.za
