We so often talk about and recommend products for those with sensitive facial skin, but what about bodycare for sensitive skin? Before we get into products, lets chat about what exactly constitutes and causes a sensitive skin? Simply put, the skin has a barrier layer...
Just before we went on our quick trip to Cape Town a few months ago, I put up an image on Instagram about the fab spray tan that I had done at Glow Couture. This is a big statement but, I am confident that it is the best spray tan in Johannesburg. I had so many...
The first time I start to feel festive at the end of the year, is when LUSH brings out their Christmas products. Snow Fairy and Rose Jam shower gels are long time favourites but I wanted to show you what else is new from LUSH plus give you my thoughts on three...
If you've been following me along my parenting journey since the beginning you'll know that I am a big fan of the Baby Sense range of books. Meg Faure then released Pregnancy Sense last year, and this year, together with Kath McGraw, Weaning Sense came out and I was...
Welcome to the second installment of our toddler friendly Cape Town trip! After a few days in Franschoek, we made our way into Cape Town itself. I was really excited; partly because I love visiting my old stomping ground and partly because we were going to be staying...
I remember when I was in my early twenties, I suffered from quite bad breakouts on a regular basis but I still had pretty dehydrated skin. It's a bit of a conundrum because you want to treat the breakout but you also don't want to strip your skin or dehydrate it even...
There have been a bunch of new skincare products that I have been trying out recently that would all be fab additions to your summer skincare arsenal. This is going to be a fairly lengthy post (by my standards anyway) so no chit chat, let's get straight into it! I...
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...
"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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
