About Ask Ashe

About Ask Ashe
Brand Consultant + Editor

I’m Nicola Ashe - ad exec turned brand consultant, who quit the rat race in 2014, so I could finally breathe again. I live in Durban, South Africa with my husband and 4 rescue dogs and run Ask Ashe as a brand consulting business, helping people create and curate their own brands. But it's also my little space on the web, where I've shared design, decor, food, travel or lifestyle snippets since 2009.

  • At the end of last year, Jane from @unselfishlyme invited me to chat on her podcast and I didn’t immediately jump at the opportunity - the thought of my voice booming across the airwaves sort of made me want to break out in hives 🤣 But she convinced me and I’m so glad she did - we had such a cool chat about boundaries, planning, branding and more and I have to say I conquered a little fear of recording my voice - thanks Janey! You can listen to the episode through your podcast app - just search for Unselfishly Me and it’s episode 17. Or click the link in my stories to listen in - would love to know your thoughts x #unselfishlyme #podcast #selflove #selflovejourney #brandconsultant #boundaries #planning
  • Popped into @theblueberry_cafe over the holidays for brunch - just love this space and all it’s quirks and that loo with a view! Only thing I was disappointed at is they’re still serving plastic straws - I asked for a paper one and was told they don’t have them - mind boggling. They also don’t do blueberry crumpets anymore, but their blueberry scone was sublime. . . . #blueberrycafe #kznmidlands #midlandsmeander #eatoutkzn #askashe_eats #blueberryscone #greenhouse #hangingplants #greenbicycle
  • Some days you just need a holiday - but when you can’t cos it’s Monday a visit to @theoysterbox will do. Always makes me feel like I’m on holiday x . Is there a place in your home town that makes you feel like that?
  • Sunday morning inspo for our house - one day... #dreaming 📷 @peppahart
  • Yep
  • Meet Maha. A place not a person. And somewhere I will be spending a lot of time in 2020. @mahapointwaterfront opened at the end of last year and looks set to become a firm favourite as a breakfast spot, with delectable dishes from Chef @charleslakin_ hitting the spot every time - we had 3 different ones this week, 2 of them vegan - and all next level yum: ✖️ - zucchini fritters, roast peppers, fennel jam, jugo bean hummus & pumpkin seed dukkah. - sourdough crumpets, sautéed button mushrooms, scallions and macadamia nut cheese. - smoked salmon, poached egg, sourdough crumpets, elderflower caper & chive butter sauce. ✖️ To top it off their iced coffee is delicious, with almond milk options, cappuccinos are perfectly made - can be drunk upon serving and aren’t too hot and the counter groans with an array of treats which you can take home - think beetroot, onion and feta dotted foccacia, millionaires shortbread, poppy seed muffins and more - it all depends on what the chef feels like whipping up or what’s been foraged that morning. ✖️ You’ll find Maha right at the end of Point Road - like go all the way to the end, turn left when you can’t go further and find them at 5 Point Road next to the entrance to the Point Waterfront Apartments. .
