Sherris Moyo, a local lifestyle and design vlogger, shared snippets of the renovations to her garden before hosting a braai at her home on 8 November, 2025. The series saw her receive help as well as get her hands dirty.
On 4 November, 2025, Sherris posted Day 6 of the series, noting that her hosting event was around the corner, which made her anxious. Her decision to renovate the outdoor area and host a braai came about as a way to have her friends over, as she hadn't done so all year.
She told the online community:
"Apart from the anxiety, the braai still might not happen. There's still so much to do."

Sherris had her sights set on a newly painted fence, landscaping, painting the paving around the pool, and redoing the pathway. Day 6 saw her waiting for a parcel from Takealot to buy more plants, but she felt she was out of money.
The mother of three also introduced her online audience to Asha, a man who was helping her turn her dream into a reality. He explained the process of painting the pool's paving, noting that it was first cleaned before the first layer was added. Asha then spoke about painting the green fence black, an activity that Sherris took part in.
Still, she said:
"It’s looking bleak for this braai, hey."
