My washi tape

I know a few people have seen my photo on Instagram and Twitter about my washi tape that I (finally) found in South Africa – yay! So thought I would share it with you all after the requests I have had. Francesca Mill’s is the lovely lady behind Sweet William (see Etsy shop here) and […]

Beef + Ale pies

I promised I would share this recipe with you all, so here it is. My inspiration came after visiting Nook Eatery on my weekend away.  This meal sent me into a panic like never before, as half way through the meat was tasting like nothing, the mashed potato looked like babies purée and I was just managing to mess […]

My Pinterest addiction

I have been addicted to Pinterest for a while now, but see the craze has suddenly set in and now am being over-taken with pins and boards – I need more time in my life! It is seriously addictive (for those who haven’t discovered it yet – you’ll see what I mean) so I try […]

St Tropez Intensifier

As you know, I have always been a huge fan of St Tropez products. In my mind they kind of own the fake tan market – they have been around forever and, as far as I’m concerned, give a faultless fake tan! I got sent the Intensifier Self Tan a while back and have been […]

My weekend away {Rivierbosch}

I always look so forward to actually getting out of Cape Town for the weekend. As much as I love the dinner parties and drinks that ensue come Friday 5pm, it is such a nice change to escape them once in a while. I spent this past weekend at a quaint cottage in Stellenbosch called […]

House & Leisure {House of the Year ’12}

For those who missed my live Twitter interview with House& Leisure this morning (follow them on Twitter here), these are the two houses that I was umm’ing and ahh’ing between. I love elements in both of them – simple, clean and with a touch of vintage. These are my best rooms from both homes – […]

Revlon’s ColourBurst Lip Butters

I work in PR myself, so feel I have a pretty good idea of PR’s getting things right or wrong and, as we all know, it really can go very wrong at times. Revlon, however, got it spot on! The ladies at Revlon initially made contact with me with such a lovely personal e-mail commending […]

National Stationery Show {NYC}

If there is one trade show that I go to in my life, this will definitely be it. I have followed blog posts and vlog videos on the National Stationery Show for a while now and I am just itching to get there. The whole idea of being surrounded by awesome stationery is one thing, […]

Mamma Mio High Protein Face Fitness Facial

Mamma Miois a range of products that I have always held in high regard. They are a UK based range, and when I lived there they were all the craze! The great news is that they are now available in South Africa as well as the fabulous treatments that accompany the range. I went for […]

Introducing the Anna-Louise Winter Collection

I have been so excited to share this with you as have had a few debates over pyjamas with my friends before. I feel it is something that says quite a bit about the kind of person you are, don’t you think?   There is something so unbelievably luxurious about great pyjamas – and my […]
