My Number No. 1 Legacy MacBook Pro over the past Decade

Ever wondered what Legacy MBP would give you the most bang for your buck and still has macOS support? Legacy Macs are so loved and valued by Mac users all over the world. What are my top three MBP? I'll tell you in the next paragraph.

In third place is a MBP I hold dear to my heart and is still supported by macOS! What is it? The Mid 2012, 15-inch, Anti-Glare 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro. Why? Upgradable to 16GB of RAM and SATA SSD compatible for quick and nimble response time with all the legacy ports that goes with it as well.

In second place is the Early 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro. Why? Slim and slender design; quick, nimble and robust when you're on the go; meeting deadlines with a gorgeous Quad HD screen. And last but not least; ports; MagSafe 2 power, USB 3 ports, a SDXC card slot and many more.

And now for my number one MBP over the past decade has to be (drum role please) the Mid 2015, 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro. You might be thinking so what? This MBP has a 2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon R9 M370X Graphics card. This machine is still more than capable of creating 4k videos, graphics and gaming for those of you who are young at heart. With macOS Big Sur around the corner, I'm confident this MBP will still be relevant within the next 3-5 years!

Amazon and eBay are your best options for refurbished macs. Good luck, stay well and stay safe!

5 Reasons why I love Social Dancing

It's only been 2 years since I’ve joined a dance school and it’s been an amazing journey of self-discovery. It has become a love and a passion of mine. There’s this side of me which I never knew I had. And I never knew having so much growth would have such an effect on me. Here are 5 reasons why I love Social Dancing.

Being a Dance Leader - Yes women can learn to be leaders, however what makes a man an attractive man, is a man who can lead and they can discover this through dance. It’s all about listening to the beat; the musicality; the connection with your dance partner and leading with the self-expression of movement through music.

Getting in touch with your sensuality - There is no substitute for human interaction! The touching, the chemistry, the communication and finally connecting with your partner's body is what makes social dancing a sensual experience. For those of you who are shy and introverted, it’s ok, enjoy the process, have fun and say au revoir to your inhibitions!

Different Genres of Social Dancing - Bachata, Salsa and Brazilian Zouk; my favourite! Honourable mentions are Forró, Kizomba and Merengue which are all just as fun!

Great for Body, Mind and Soul - Dancing has mental health benefits; for self-esteem, well-being and muscle memory. Keeping your body fit is also an added benefit so no need to go on a boring treadmill in the gym. Learn to be dashing as a man and sassy if you’re a woman and embrace that latin spirit!

Social Dancing - Why not just go clubbing? No hierarchy, no egos and no need for “Dutch courage”, that’s why I love social dancing over clubbing. Just down to earth, like minded people who love dancing and connection. After a busy and stressful day at work; switch off and let your hair down. Let the beat of the music move you, and let dancing be your therapy and escapism.

On a final note, I believe those who embrace dancing as part of their lifestyle also embrace a culture on how they express themselves. To me, dancing is more than just a hobby or an interest. Dancing is more than just growth, development and having a social circle, to me dancing is a celebration of life. And another thing; in regards to social distancing, this will pass. Let’s all stay optimistic and let’s all hope for a better future.
