Meet Plum

Hi, welcome to my blog called Being Plum. My name is Tanya and I'm a blogger from Johannesburg, South Africa. I'm currently living in Paris and during the day I am a Marketing Manager and on weekends I enjoy exploring the city, taking photos and trying out the amazing French cuisine with friends. Being Plum is a treasury of my preoccupations in life. I hope you'll enjoy the posts as much as I enjoy putting them together. Happy reading xxx

When your home smells like Christmas thanks to a @greenleafgifts Merry Memories Spiced Pear candle🎄 I couldn’t resist getting this candle at @nicholas_and_co after I smelt it in the store. It’s such a comforting scent. ❤️ I also picked up this gorgeous beaded candie cane and a Christmas bowl for @qualitystreetsa 🍬 Swipe left to see the bowl’s cute design 🎅🏻🎄 #christmasdecor #christmas #nicholasandco

Week 3 of being back in cardio boxing and I can’t help but smile when I remember why I have done Kick class for over 10 years at @virginactivesa. The adrenaline rush and sense of accomplishment at what your body can achieve and how far you can push it. Also, the weekly routine, the instructor who inspires you and pushes you harder, and feeling like a badass when doing front kicks and side kicks 😎 🥊

Tiny ice crystals in Earth's atmosphere create the halos. They do it by refracting and reflecting the light. Lunar halos are signs that storms are nearby. #joziskies #sunhalo$

I just finished this book and it’s left me wanting to sit and watch Charmed for the rest of the day. I first discovered author @kassmorganbooks when The 100 books came out and really enjoyed her writing. Since then, I’ve read her books in the Lights Years series and have just finished reading the first book in The Ravens series that she wrote with @daniellempaige. This first Ravens book introduces you to Kappa Rho Nu sorority, which is actually a coven of witches, at Westerly College. Vivi Deveraux heads to Westerly, despite her mom warning her that it’s dangerous, and soon after arriving meets The Ravens and begins the process of joining the sorority. Vivi’s mom never told her that she was a witch and she had no idea she had powers or how powerful she was until The Ravens showed her who she really is - as well as the 4 types of witches. Vivi’s new journey is not a smooth one as she falls for her big sorority sister’s boyfriend, this after Scarlet already despises her and is chosen to help Vivi learn her powers. An old member of The Ravens (who was banished and had her magic bound) returns for revenge and the Ravens soon have to fight dark magic and save one of their own. I gave this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #bookworm #bookstagram #instabook #bookreview #theravens

Last night we had the most magical experience at @nicholas_and_co in Hyde Park. 🎅🏻 We booked the store for a private viewing with friends and family, and were treated to champagne, mince pies and snacks by @gman_the_foodie who owns the store and was our host. You will find the most beautiful items for Christmas at the store and won’t be let down. Thank you so much Gareth for the most memorable evening. 👏🏻 There is also a store in Design Quarter. #christmasvibes #christmasdecor #christmasgifts #christmastree

I’ve decided to spend the day in bed reading The Ravens by @kassmorganbooks and @daniellempaige 🤓 Also, these slimmers choice granadilla lollies from @woolworths_sa are divine 😍 #selfcare #bookworm #theravens #icecream #saturdaymood

For the last 2 weeks I’ve been trying this produ

For the last 2 weeks I’ve been trying this product out, and it’s been a bit hit or miss on whether I like it or not. My first impression was that it was super weird putting red cream on my face, and I wondered if it would shine through my foundation or affect it anyway. My next concern was whether it would mark my white pillowcases if I used it at night. (Neither of these concerns came true.) The second concern was the unique smell of the product, but luckily I got used to it quite quickly and I don’t even smell it anymore. After I got over all these new things about this cream, I started to enjoy using it and noticed that it left my skin soft and supple and didn’t irritate it. The cream itself is red because it has red ginseng in it which helps boost skin to fight signs of fatigue. It also contains pro-retinol which is an anti-wrinkle ingredient which helps smooth the skin’s surface. (This year has been rough, I am in my late 30s, and feeling tired at the end of the year, so I am excited to use any product that can help me look more radiant and minimise fine lines.) So I am going to continue using it, because I am curious to see if I have the same awesome results as they have listed on their clinical scoring trials. #gifted #rubybox #rubyboxrevitared #instantglow #revitaliftedcream #myglowup #lorealparisza

This is the 20th book I have read this year. 🤓

This is the 20th book I have read this year. 🤓 My goal for 2020 was 30 books, so I have to hustle and get through another 10 in the next 2 months. You Are Not Alone was gifted to my by @panmacmillansa and I was hooked when I had read the first 2 chapters. I just had to find out what was up with the sisters Cassandra and Jane, and why they wanted Shay in their circle? What drove Amanda to do what she did? Were all these new changes in Shay’s life real or part of a greater set up? I finished the book this morning and couldn’t wait to get through the last few pages which put the final puzzle pieces in place. I really enjoyed the story and give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks so much for the #gift 🙏🏻 #bookstagram #instabook #bookclub #bookworm
