Beauty. Fashion. My preoccupations.
I started writing about my adventure in Paris last year and after the first month, I didn’t pick up my laptop again. I’ve spent the last week wondering why that was, and I came to one conclusion: When I moved to Paris I decided to just live. 2018 fed my soul in so many ways.
So, I have officially been in Paris for 18 days and have loved every minute of it! It honestly feels like i have been here for a lot longer than 2.5 weeks and I think that’s all thanks to me settling into a routine pretty quickly since arriving and having already made friends. Read more.
Focussing on myself and my “me-time” is something I’ve been working on for ages but haven’t really managed to get right. So last week, after the most severe anxiety attack I have ever experienced…
Last year I set out to read a book a month as part of my goals I wrote down in my bullet journal. Well, it turns out it was a little too ambitious and I sadly didn’t reach that target. What did I manage to finish reading?
In winter I can never get warm. My feet and hands always feel like ice cubes and all feeling soon disappears! Our house is freezing and when the sun sets, I get cuddled under a blanket (or two) and don’t move until I need to either make tea or go to bed. Generally I choose creamy […]

Last week I attended Avon’s launch of their newest fragrance, Aspire Essence. The event took place on the 20th floor of The Venue, which has a breathtaking view of Sandton. Before any of us had had a chance to smell the new fragrance, waiters walked into the room and put shooter glasses down in front […]
The first person I saw with a white mani was Emily on The Bachelor. I wasn’t too sure about them back then but have definitely changed my mind. When I went for a gelish the other day I had walked in wanting white nails and ended up leaving with a bright orange instead. I am […]
I’m currently loving the midi ring trend! Cosmopolitan summed these rings up so well: They’re like midi dresses that stop between your knee and ankle, they sit between your fingertip and first knuckle. At the moment winter has made it hard to enjoy wearing my new midi rings because they are always hidden inside gloves. I […]
I have loved Olivia Palermo’s style ever since I first saw he on reality TV. She puts outfits together effortlessly and always looks so chic! When I heard she was getting married I couldn’t wait to see what dress she would wear. Imagine my surprise when these pictures surfaced and she wasn’t in a typical […]
