Renew Clinic has really been treating me (and my skin) recently! If you live in Jozi and you haven’t popped into the Renew aesthetic clinic yet, you’re really missing out! As you all know, I’m probably a skin centre's worst nightmare. I mentally critique everything...

June was a decidedly better month than May – hooray! I have a few ongoing love affairs with some products and have one that I am still undecided about. I’ve really tried to whittle things down a bit because I can ramble on and on in these types of posts. Here we go......

LUSH haul part one

Ta-da! What do you think of the brand new website? I’ll tell ya, my caffeine addiction has reached an all time high but I reckon it was well worth it. I’m pretty chuffed that the first post on the new site is the first part of a LUSH haul. There aren’t many things...

Theravine – first impressions

Theravine – first impressions

A little while ago I was given some Theravine travel sizes to try out. I kept putting it off because my skin has been in such a silly phase (as usual) when it occurred to me that this was probably the best time to test the products out. I wasn’t really familiar with...

May favourites

To be honest, I would rather forget about May. Between the disappointments, doctors offices, heartache and hospital stays it was a pretty rubbish month. But I’m all about silver linings at the moment and what better way to make myself feel better about the month of...

our almost disastrous wedding day

our almost disastrous wedding day

Today Dan and I have been married for two whole years! Instead of gushing about how smart, funny, caring and good looking my husband is (although I could do it for days on end) I thought I would tell you about how our wedding day was almost a disaster. And no, I am...
