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?
It’s not often that you go to an event that truly humbles you. Spending the afternoon with Always and P&G at Itirele-Zenzele School, Diepsloot, really put some things in perspective for me. Growing up I never once had to miss school because I was on my period. I was able to always buy pads or tampons […]
I recently was treated to an G.Hair B-Tox Treatment by Inoar at the Sorbet Drybar in Dunkeld.

B-TOX G.Hair prolongs the effect of your hair realignment, contributing to frizz reduction […]
A few months back Glamglow sent me a box full of some pretty awesome products to try out. I hadn’t heard about Glamglow before then (yip, never before) but when the teasers started appearing on social media about the brand coming to SA I started researching it. The Glamglow Glowsetter Make-up Setting Spray was one […]
The true test of a nail polish for me is the duration it stays on my nails without chipping the time it takes to dry its consistency I am pretty hard on my nails so I choose to keep them short because they are paper thin and break easily. I bought this Essie shade – Too Too […]
About 2 months ago I saw a teaser post on Rimmel SA’s Instagram feed that new lip oils were arriving and I was super excited! I can’t get through a day without applying lipstick / lipgloss / lip balm a number of times to my lips to stop them feeling dry and itchy, so I was very […]
This year I’ve tried to change my routine up a bit and include some planned “me time” to unwind and focus on my needs. When work and life become chaotic (seems to be the chorus of my life) I often always forget to just breathe and plan my day so that I get some special time […]
