My love affair with Clarins continues

You all know how I feel about Clarins and it just keeps getting better. This brand is amazing and I feel like the biggest fool for only waking up to that now, and that’s thanks to you, my readers, who have convinced me to try so many of their great products. It all started with […]

Gift Ideas for Men

I am doing this post as it is probably the single most requested post of late, and something I seriously battle with every year: what the hell to buy for the men in your life, be it for your Dad, brother or boyfriend/husband.  It’s a tough one as I always find the presents I end […]

Tom Tailor has arrived in SA with a bang

I have been chatting about this quite a bit recently, but retail in South Africa is really so exciting at the moment, and only seems to be getting better and better! Tom Tailor is a well-known denim brand that is now available here thanks to Edgars. The brand is one of the fastest growing in […]

Cream Blush vs Powder Blush

Of course the answer is yay but, in my opinion, not always. I have plenty of cream blushes at home and love them – they make my cheeks look dewy and give that touch of colour but I am finding more and more so that they have a lot of restrictions when using them and […]

My Interior Design course so far

So I am closing on half way through my Interior Design course with GetSmarter and learning so, so much. Quite a few of my readers have asked what my reason for choosing this course was and my answer is that there are two reasons: firstly I work in retail and more specifically my job has […]
