Boitumelo “Boits” Nxumalo is the kind of woman who lives with intention, and looks effortlessly good doing it. A proud University of Johannesburg graduate in Public Relations and Communications, Boits has spent over a decade building a dynamic career across PR, media, and digital storytelling. She has carved out a space that’s uniquely her own: part strategy, part creativity, and all heart. From pioneering natural hair conversations in South Africa to inspiring women to show up boldly in beauty and fashion, Boits brings grace and authenticity to everything she touches.
More than her titles, she’s a devoted mom, a woman of deep faith, and a creative who continues to evolve. Whether she’s creating content, crafting the perfect beat, or spending time with her daughter Omphile, Boits moves through life with purpose and a quiet power.
In this edition of My Favourite Things, she opens up her world, one handpicked gem at a time.
Couch Cuddles with My Daughter
Spending time with Omphile is truly my favourite thing ever — especially when we’re cuddled up watching our favourite movies together. It’s the purest joy.
Face Beats & Flawless Bases
As an upcoming makeup artist, I’m obsessed with making women feel beautiful. There’s nothing like a clean, flawless base to boost confidence.
Chicken Pasta Heaven
Give me a creamy, flavourful chicken pasta any day — it’s my ultimate comfort food and love language.
Sol de Janeiro No. 62
Currently obsessed! It’s the perfect refreshing scent — playful, warm, and just enough to make you unforgettable.
Photos = Memories
I love capturing moments — whether it’s content, selfies, or candid shots of loved ones. My friends call me “the archive keeper” because I literally have pictures from every chapter of our lives.
Raw Shea Butter Everything
A staple in my home — for our hair, our skin, and everything in between. It’s the real MVP and a must in our daily routine.
My Natural Hair
Despite colouring it, my natural hair remains one of my greatest prides. It’s strong, healthy, rich — and a symbol of my roots.
Fenty + MAC Lip Combo
My signature lip: Fenty Gloss Bomb Heat in Hot Cherry paired with MAC Chestnut liner. Perfection.
Coach Bags Forever
I’m obsessed with Coach — their bags are chic, timeless, and totally my hill to die on.
Old Fashioned Cocktails (Especially from Ukko)
A good Old Fashioned hits every time. The ones from Ukko in Johannesburg and that one unforgettable spot in Mauritius? Chef’s kiss.
