Wedding season is most definitely upon us, and if you’re one of the love birds planning to tie the knot, I’m sure you are starting to feel the pinch of the crazy prices the wedding industry charges. It seems like they just double the price as soon as they hear the...
I’m 20 weeks along this week and so unless she decides to make an early appearance, I’ve hit the half way mark! Of course, in amongst all of the excitement, we have started to buy all the “baby stuff”. Let me tell you, this does not come cheap! But I think that Dan...
It's Favourites time again – no need for any explanation, let’s just get straight to it! Stretchmarks If you read my post about my first trimester, you will know that stretch marks are a stark reality right now. I've been doing my best to fight them off and have armed...
Aaaaaah, I love new product launches. Its like my drug of choice, I can’t not have what’s new on the market. When the Dermalogica invite landed in my inbox a while ago I was pretty excited, that excitement only increased when I realised that Dr Diana Howard all the...
If you missed the announcement last week Friday, then SUPRISE! Dan and I are expecting our first little bebe in April next year. We are so excited, so nervous and feel so incredibly blessed. But along with all the ooh-ing and aah-ing at the cute baby clothes at Cotton...
I think I will always be on the search for those elusive miracle products that will magically transform my skin from drab to fab. Surely they must be out there somewhere?! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to have a Lamelle facial as well as try out the...
Oh man do I love food, I love it even more if I’m sitting in a great restaurant! I thought I would share 3 of my favourite Johannesburg restaurants at the moment. They are all completely different, ‘cos you know, variety is the spice of life. Restaurante Parreirinha –...
I’m a few days overdue, I know. But life, she has her way of throwing things at you that you weren’t expecting, even if they are ridiculously exciting. But enough tantalising you with things I can’t chat about just yet. I’ve decided to change my monthly...
I hope that you didn’t think that I had wondered off and gotten lost somewhere, never to return. No, no, I just took a bit of time off last week to spend with my Mom who was in the country for a little while. But I’m back in full force! I’m sure a few of you have...
Believe it or not, I was never big into lipstick until about a year ago, I just felt silly when I wore it for some reason. I’m not sure what spurred it on but one day I started wearing a very natural colour and since then my love for lippies has grown enormously and...
Do I talk too much about serums? I dunno, but I do love them and they’re usually amazing so I feel like it’s OK if I do. Today I chat about my current 3 favourites. Let dive straight in! Number one with a gun (at the moment) are my Theravine Face Relaxant Amoules...
I’m fair in complexion; actually, I’m fairer than fair. To be blunt, I’m so pale I’m transparent – you can see the blood flowing through my veins. Now, all my fellow pale people will understand that summer can be difficult when wearing shorts or a dress that doesn’t...
Another month has come and gone, hopefully, August is the last of the chilly mornings and evenings! There were quite a few things that I gravitated towards during July, so keep on reading... A few weeks ago I received a lovely delivery compliments of Africology, they...
Can winter just be over already? These icy winds and deathly cold mornings (and evenings) make it really difficult to not stay in bed all day. Plus, the condition of my skin just goes down the drain if I don’t pay it enough attention. Crinkly, dry skin is not a sexy...
As much as this is a skincare and beauty blog, it’s also a personal blog and sometimes I just have to get stuff off my chest. It’s no secret that Dan and I are trying to have a kiddie. Now, from the notes below, it might seem that I have gone a little bit crazy. Let...
This is is a bit of a switch up from the normal type of posts that I do – usually the blog is filled with beauty and skincare but every now and then I like to throw something different into the mix to keep things interesting. I love coffe. I love take away...
