It’s been a long time coming but here it is, the low down on the first phase of our home renovations, with a lot of help from Builders Warehouse. I’m going to leave all the talking to Dan but I just wanted to mention two things before we dive straight in: Please...
Breakfast has always been my most difficult meal, I find it tough to feel inspired to whip something up that I will enjoy, without it being ridiculously unhealthy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good fry up here and there but on a day to day basis, I like to have...
Isn't winter just the best time for reading? You can snuggle up with a cuppa and just disappear into your book. I've got two new books to chat about in my July book club (both available from Pan Macmillan) plus a stunning giveaway perfect for doing just that! First...
If you're anything like me, you always want to know whats new from Dermalogica! I stalk their international social media accounts to see what should be hitting our shores soon and the past few months have not disappointed! There have been two new releases recently,...
Now that we are really in the thick of things, winter-wise, I'm sure that your skin is feeling the effects. I know mine certainly was until I received these three products in the mail. Wondering which winter products you need in your life? Keep on reading, and HOORAY,...
Last week I was lucky enough to be flown to Cape Town for a media event. When I initially received the invitation a week or two before I was so excited, not only because such an exciting brand was launching (look out for that post soon) but also because when I asked...
Ok, this blog post is super late as these collections have been out for a little while now but I thought that I would still introduce you to the Essie Fall, Winter and Luxe Effects collections, just in case you haven't spotted them in store just yet. First up is the...
If you watch my Instagram stories, you will know how much my kid loves her books. One of the newest ones to her collection, thanks to the team at Pan MacMillan, is There's An Owl In My Towel by Julia Donaldson. If that name rings a bit of a bell, Julia is the...
Oh hello Monday! Hopefully your day has started off well, and if not, I'm here to give you some good news: there are some new matte lipsticks available from the drugstore and they are amazing (bar one of two), woohoo! I'm not going to waste time on chit chat, let's...
I know, I know, it's taken me an age to get this nursery tour up and I really don't have a good excuse this time. But here it is, plus some storage tips that worked for us in Aria's room. https://youtu.be/hXXGL-uYzUU I've linked everything in the drop down menu on...
I own a lot of mascaras, far too many but I promise that I do use them all! I wanted to tell you about my current favourite mascaras and it just so happens that there is one for each and every budget - yay! These mascaras are all fantastic and are the ones that I...
Oh my, Winter is most certainly here in Johannesburg and so I have been bundling Aria up to keep her all cozy and warm, except the crazy child keeps pulling her socks and shoes off. Anyway, I wanted to put together a list of my baby and toddler winter essentials that...
When a bag of CHANEL make up lands on your doorstep, the only appropriate response is to shriek with delight - I'm convinced that the delivery man thought that I was completely nuts. CHANEL really is one of my absolute favourite make up brands and I love how this...
Happy birthday to me! Actually, let me be more specific: happy 30th birthday to me! And what's a birthday without a swishy skirt? When I saw this golden beauty at The Hub a few weeks ago, I had to have it! The fact that you can dress it up or down, simply by changing...
I really wanted to call this post "A Three Way with Urban Decay" but that would probably have been pushing things a bit too far. Never the less, here it is, the Afterdark palette from Urban Decay. First off, lets talk about the absolutely insane packaging. I love the...
Pinterest is a magical place isn't it? The most scrumptious recipes, the most gorgeous homes, and the most incredible family photographs. Once I open the app, I get sucked in for a good hour or two, just browsing, pinning left right and centre and building my dream...
