I don't know about you, but my beauty wish list grows longer by the day, there are just so many amazing products that I just need in my life! Well, what if I told you that you could win a whole whack of cult beauty products to the value of over R13 000?! Introducing,...
Fragrance is not something that I chat about a lot over here, and I'm not really sure why because I love my perfumes and own way too many. Each of them have really special memories attached to them; my wedding day, a wonderful holiday, the birth of my child, and so...
Maybe it's a late-onset mid year slump, maybe it's just been a bit of a crazy year, but whatever it is, Dan and I needed some quality time with each other. We really didn't have time to drive a few hours to our accommodation and so when the Raddison Blu Gautrain hotel...
Some people just seem to love exercise, I am just not one of them. I've never been one to wake up in the morning ready to hit gym, climb a mountain or go for a run. To be honest, there are a ton of other things that I would prefer to do... like snuggle in bed with a...
"We believe that there are no perfect moms, only real ones", well said Baby Dove, well said! When Baby Dove South Africa launched a few months ago, I was pretty excited; I'm a big fan of most of the OG Dove products so I had really high hopes for this new offshoot,...
I have never ever been a fan of the warmer months. I much prefer being cuddled up in bed with a cup of coffee and my favourite series. But since having Aria, I've realised that the warmer weather makes parenting so much easier, you can literally let your kid run riot...
Before we begin with this post, I want to point out that I am by no means following a meat free lifestyle. However, I do like to eat healthy 80% of the time, and that often means no refined carbs and I've started to really enjoy vegetarian dishes for lunch or as a...
Summer is here which means we will be showing off a lot more leg than we were a few weeks ago. If your skin is looking a little worse for wear (super dry and scale like), then this post is for you. I've rounded up my favourite body lotions (and one body oil), each...
Working from home is great; it gives me a lot of flexibility and no one steals my lunch from the office fridge. It does have a few drawbacks though, and one of those is that often I can become a bit lazy. This generally results in me staying in my pajamas and working...
When Aria started school a week or so ago, I was so excited to pack her little schoolbag! But the one thing I wasn't too clued up on was what to pack for her to eat, and so off I went to my BFF, Pinterest and to get inspired. I'm sure I'm not the only one who battles...
As you can see below, I have very blonde brows, and all I want is a set of beautifully thick, bold brows. Unfortunately, those are not the cards that I was dealt and so I have to fill in my brows on a daily basis. I've tried out a good deal of products and have...
I can't believe that I'm already doing the August Book Club, where has this year gone?! Anyway, before we begin, please excuse the state of these books, they are very well loved! Although we do our absolute best to make sure that Aria treats her books gently, you...
Oh my word, the past week was not a fun time in the Booyens house. Everyone including the dogs got sick which resulted in very little sleep for Dan and I. Most days, I will go sans make up but regardless of my level of exhaustion, life goes on and errands need to be...
After months of seeing teasers online, it's here, the Urban Decay Naked Heat palette has landed on South African soil - hooray! It seems that whenever I receive a new palette from Urban Decay (like After Dark), I inevitably show you a few different looks that you can...
We spent a few whirlwind days in Durban, and to be honest, I was slightly nervous about what to do with Aria. We have taken her to Durbs a few times before but she was quite a bit younger and slept most of the time. This time, however, she is a complete busy body that...
When the new Urban Decay Meltdown and Rehab products landed in South Africa, I was thrilled! I had seen so many different reviews on them and couldn't wait to test the products out myself. Luckily for me, I didn't have to wait too long as Urban Decay very kindly sent...
