We like to call elephants & easter the South African everything blog, showcasing fashion, food, travel, design and South African creative talent. The blog was born as a personal bookmark of all that we found online and wanted to remember, including the vast amount of amazing local creative talent. Apart from the daily posts we have a monthly feature ‘South Africa Awesome’, as well as regular weekly features: ‘Cheeseburger Friday’  and ‘French Toast Sunday’ (everybody loves a great food feature).

What’s the inspiration behind the name? When we were busy putting the site together, the question was raised as to what the blog would be about to which I replied: “Everything from elephants to Easter… ” and so the name was born.

There has never been a set plan behind what to do with e&e, it’s a great way to play and  build a brand in a digital space, have a good time doing it and discover a whole world of daily/weekly/monthly cool. Our entry into the SA Blog awards I guess is just about exposure, the more people that read e&e the more we can do with it; grow the blog, it’s exposure and hopefully exposure to our local creatives as well.The SA Blog awards are an interesting beast: few categories, public vote go get the process going and effectively all of us gunning for the same piece of the pie… It’s going to be an interesting ride.

The South African blogging culture is growing, it’s vast and normally pretty entertaining, so if you think you have something interesting to say….join the conversation.

Feel free to mail us your hopes, thoughts and dreams or anything South African talent that we could feature: hello@elephantsandeaster.com
