FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

how do I say your name?

My full name is Nonhlanhla Ngazimbi. Not many people who aren't Ndebele, Zulu, or Xhosa can pronounce that at all. So I stick to the short of that name, Nonee pronounced No-Knee! 
 

How long have you been blogging?

I used to blog at The Pinnest's Journal years ago (January 1st, 2012 to be exact) but I took a hiatus for a multitude of reasons. And now, I have been blogging with Nonee's World since 2017. 
 

Are you a canon or Nikon gal?

I am definitely a Canon girl. I learnt on a Canon and have not looked back since. My current body is a Canon T6i and interchange lenses frequently. 

What is your size?

I have long, dominant legs so people think I'm tall from my photos but I am shy of 5'4. I appreciate the compliment of height but I am a shorty & proud! I used to be be much smaller, but the last couple of years have worn on me, literally.

do you like nursing?

I was a nurse for 5 years prior to transitioning to being a nurse practitioner. I have been practicing as a nurse practitioner for two years now and recently, I started my doctorate in nursing. My favorite part about the nursing profession is the people I get to encounter and the love and healing I aide in bringing them at their most vulnerable time. 

what is your relationship status?

I am happily married for two years to my main squeeze Taj. We live in Hartford, Connecticut and have been since we got married August 2018. We aren’t a boisterous couple, but we have a lot of fun together.
