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?
After New Years I saw more people choosing a particular word that they wanted to focus on for 2017 instead of coming up with a long list of resolutions that they would most likely not even stick to.

Two years ago I fell in love with the Dove Purely Pampering range. It smelt like heaven and felt like heaven on my skin! This year a new dreamy addition to the Dove family arrived in SA – the new Dove Purely Pampering Coconut Milk and Jasmine range. Dove sent me the new range to try out […]
If you read my review a few months ago, you’ll know that I instantly fell in love with the new Avon Perfectly Matte Lipsticks! They really surpassed my expectations and met pretty much all of my criteria for a good matte lipstick – including not drying my lips out. I was so super excited to receive […]
Like me, I’m sure you’re all feeling super tired as the year starts winding down (even though at times it feels like it is speeding up and getting more chaotic). 2016 has been particularly challenging for me, but equally rewarding at the same time. Instead of only focussing on all the bad things and challenges that you’ve […]
I can’t believe it’s over a month since I went for a complimentary microblading session at Aura with Meg! I had heard about microblading but wasn’t too clued up on exactly what it was all about and was thrilled to be able to experience it when Aura Skincare Clinic & Nail Bar offered me a […]
