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...
If you’ve ever struggled with frizz, dryness, or finding the perfect routine for your hair, you’re not alone. After years of trial and error, I’ve finally found a winning combination of products and techniques that leave my hair looking and feeling its best. My Hair...
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...
You’ve probably noticed the 2 and a bit week gap between the last [skincare 101] post and this one...oooops sorry! Sometimes I get so excited about another post that I just push other things back because I just can’t wait. Anyway, we are back on track and are tackling...
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been seeing a lot of this sometimes squishy, sometimes not, differently coloured cleansing sponges around on various blogs and social media platforms. Eventually curiosity got the better of me and I ordered one from Swiitch & Co,...
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......
Hooray for the second half of the LUSH haul! This isn’t going to be as long as the Lush haul part 1 but the products are just as good and if you read all the way to the end there might just be something exciting... Before I start with the second lot of products, I...
Last week I did a [skincare 101] post on exfoliation and I thought that this would follow on brilliantly. Sarah from Renew Clinic kindly invited me to come in for a chemical peel and experience her lovely aesthetic clinic. Oh my word, I was so excited! Renew Clinic...
Welcome to the third installment of [skincare 101]! If you’re new around here, we’ve already covered cleansers and toners. Today we are going to tackle exfoliators, a crucial step when it comes to healthy skin, especially during winter. We read about exfoliators and...
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...
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...
The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear someone talking about facial toners is “meh” which is really terrible considering that I come from the skincare industry. I think that over time, we have had so many exciting product developments and breakthroughs,...
I am an exfoliator queen. There is nothing that I love more than a freshly exfoliated skin – it just looks and feels so healthy and beautiful, plus I know that anything that gets plopped on afterwards is going to be so much more effective than it would...
There’s nothing like a new blog series to perk up a somewhat dreary Monday morning, am I right? I’m quite excited about this new addition because it feeds right into my absolute passion. As I’m sure you’ve picked up, I’m just a teeny weeny bit obsessed with everything...
