We all have different budgets and sometimes, some months are a bit tighter financially than other months. But that’s no reason for our skin care routine to suffer. I’ve put together a bit of a list of products to suit everyone's budget and still deliver on quality....
This skin of mine, at the moment I just cannot seem to keep it happy! It’s become too oily (hormonal changes, joy) for the products that I used to be happy with and it gets too dehydrated for products made for oily skin. I keep breaking out along the jawline (classic...
There are just some things we cannot get away from, no matter how hard we try. Stretch marks are one of them – if you’re predisposed its tickets for you I’m afraid. But here’s the good news – if you start with preventative measures now or start treating stretch marks...
Those of you that follow me on Instagram and Facebook (if you don't, you definitely should!) know that I was away on business last week in the tiny little town of Mafikeng. There isn’t much to do there and so I may have gone a little crazy on my favourite online...
It's a real problem, I love online shopping and being away from the city this week (Mafikeng isn't exactly a thriving hub of activity) I have been spending more time than usual online marveling at all of the amazing products and tools that are available. There really...
Those of you that deal with an oily skin every day know the drill - 11am shine check in the bathroom mirror, grasping at tissues to blot away the oil, a slip and slide on the sides of your nose by lunch time and your friends (or husband in my case) commenting...
Let me start off by saying I'm still a newbie and by no means an expert in this marriage business but hells bells I have learnt a lot! I wanted to share a few of the lessons I've learnt and some things that I wished someone had told me. But maybe before I jump into...
Hello, my name is Sarah and I'm a scrub-aholic. Yip, that's right, give me a scrub, polish or exfoliator and I am as happy as a pig in mud. Exfoliating (face and body but I'm talking mainly body today) is so important for healthy, glowing skin. The scrub sloughs off...
It's taken me a while to jump onto the Sorbet band wagon. I've always had bad service from the branches I've been to. But their new skincare and body collections were being dangled in front of me like a carrot in front of a donkey and so I bit the bullet and went in...
Happy Saturday everyone!A few days ago (Thursday to be exact) I finished my 10-day detox with Thalgo's Ocea Draine. I promised to do a little write-up afterward and so here it is... Before I go into detail about my detox, I think it's a good idea to briefly explain...
Every now and then I get a crazy craving for good, wholesome comfort food. I fight it for as long as I can but sometimes I just give into it - like last night. One of my go to recipes is this super yummy chicken, bacon and mushroom pie. It's proper man food as well so...
Sunscreens have always been my least favourite part of my morning routine – it always tends to feel heavy, sticky and look Alan Donald white on my skin. This is until I discovered the Dr Gobac sunscreen – game changer of note! Since we are going to Namibia for a week...
Let me just put this out there - I can be super lazy when it comes to body exfoliation and even worse with moisturising. I'm all about easy to use and 2-in-1, shocker I know! Enter the Lush Buffy. The main reason I love the Buffy so much is because it genuinely can...
A little while ago the hubby and I really needed a break for some quality time. But being the silly season, we didn’t have the time to travel somewhere out of Johannesburg, and so began the hunt for an inner-city escape. After many Trip Advisor searches, I stumbled...
I'm always on the search for something slightly different to the norm, so when I saw the Thalgo Collagen Eye Roll On I HAD to try it! I have been using the product for the past 3 months and can absolutely see a difference. Not only have my fine lines begun to fade but...
