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.

The other night I attended the Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere event that Marie Claire hosted at Edgars in Sandton City.

While waiting for the host, Editor Aspasia Karras, we were treated to hand massages and make-up sessions […]

Be still, my beating heart… How gorgeous are these lips? They are the first thing I saw when I opened the MAC email I received last night. How do you get lips like these? With MAC’s new Patentpolish Lip Pencils. These lip pencils have the shine of a lipgloss with the precision of a lip […]
