I've probably mention this every year, but May is a busy month for us, it's Mother's Day, my mother-in-laws birthday, my brother-in-laws birthday, my birthday and our anniversary! I usually have a running "lust list" on my phone; things that I've spotted that I just...
Remember our girls' trip to Brahman Hills from a few weeks ago? Well before we left to road trip back to Jozi, we popped into The Midlands Kitchen to fill up our tummies, because no one wants to be hangry when they have a 4 hour drive home, amirite? The Midlands...
We live in an environment full of pollutants, and over and above that, everything is rushed, manic and there are very few instances where we aren't completely stress free. Something that we don't often think about is how our environment and stress levels negatively...
I remember the first time that I fell in love with Crabtree & Evelyn; I was about 20 and thought that it was an "old lady's store". My wonderful friend introduced me to the India Hicks, now Caribbean Island Wild Flowers range. It is the most intoxicating aroma of...
I promised this post a while ago, but don't worry, the CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Blush collection is well worth the wait, as are all things from CHANEL, right? At the beginning of this year I wasintroduced to some of the products that CHANEL will be launching this year....
Spending tons of money on our child's birthday party just isn't something that we feel comfortable doing, but just because we don't drop a ton of money, doesn't mean that Aria's dinosaur party on a budget wasn't fun or special. In fact, it was pretty awesome! After I...
I'm very picky when it comes to jewellery and like I've mentioned before, I tend to wear the same pieces every day. When the Thomas Sabo Tropical brouchere landed in my inbox, I knew that I would appreciate the beautiful intricacies and colours of the collection, but...
Well Aria's birthday celebrations have come and gone... and I've probably picked up 5kg just from the sheer amount of cake that has been floating around! I've never been a great cake maker, but this year I challenged myself to bake one for each of her little...
Well this post is only about two weeks overdue, but better late than never right? My April goals are pretty short and sweet just like the previous months. When I started doing these monthly goals I thought that the posts would be miles long with really admirable and...
Every girl needs time away with her tribe, and two weeks ago we did exactly that. We hopped into my car and drove the 4 hours to Brahman Hills in the Midlands to spend some time with each other and to try our best to relax a little bit. I wasn't too sure what to...
When the Fiat 500 rolled onto my driveway a week or so ago I was so excited! It looked super cute and so snazzy, I couldn't wait to take it for a spin! When I showed you all on Instagram about my new set of wheels for the week most of you also fell in love with it...
Is it just me or is this year moving at morph speed? I literally cannot believe that it's Easter this weekend and that Aria turns TWO on Thursday - how can it be?! I haven't done a "life lately" post for ages, plus I have been dying to show you my favourite piece that...
Although it’s one of those monthly payments that we make begrudgingly, Dan and I are both in agreement that having both household and car insurance is a non-negotiable for us. And so we pay, oh boy do we pay! This is why when we were able to cut our insurance premiums...
If you're anything like me, the thought of letting your toddler loose with the art supplies sends cold shivers down your spine. So much mess! So much cleaning! So much that could go wrong! But, I know, having a mom that's a teacher, and a sister that's an OT, that...
Oh CHANEL, you can do no wrong! Coco Mademoiselle Intense hit shelves on 1 March and if you are a fragrance fundi or were a fan of the original Coco Mademoiselle, you definitely need to add this new offering from CHANEL to your collection. I have been wearing Coco...
Skin Creamery is one of those skincare brands that I keep see popping up, and everyone seems to absolutely rave about them. A little while ago, I had the opportunity to meet Hannah from Skin Creamery, and let me tell you, she is absolutely divine. We chatted about the...
