Win with rubybox and Diligo

I had seen a few tweets between Diligo and rubybox, and have since been very excited to hear what all the buzz was about, and it certainly is very cool! You are going to love this Valentine’s Day Style Guide that Diligo and rubybox have done – most definitely worth the wait. The guide has […]

Lighting in the home

As of tomorrow I have the new keys to my home and a whole new journey begins. One that will incorporate many-a-trip to Builder Warehouse, I’m sure! Firstly I am on the lookout for an out-of-this-world handyman. The men in my life are all looking pretty dismal when it comes to any of the DIY […]

Essie’s Cocktail Bling: Winter

I have just received Essie’s amazing new range for winter 2011 (obviously our winter 2012) and it’s called Cocktail Bling. The colours make me think of a super decadent skiing trip with lots of bling and glamour. So far, I’d have to say that my favourite colours are Cocktail Bling and School of Hard Rocks. […]

Part 2: Solving my mascara quest

Not sure if this little quest will ever be solved, as such, but at least we have a few ladies opinions and I have been trying and testing flat out to see what is out there. Thanks to all that tweeted/commented/e-mailed and Facebooked me with what mascara you are using – all very helpful in […]

So, in this instance, […]

My chair dilemma

9 more sleeps to go. I don’t think I can explain the excitement of having my own space, and to say goodbye to living out of boxes. Just a small example: I have had a dead battery on my iPad for 2 and a half months because I packed my charger in one of my […]

Happy Friday

 Happy weekend lovelies… I am off to Betty’s Bay where I plan to make home-made bread, have fish braai’s, lie on the beach, read my book and put my feet up.  As most of you know, I visit this part of the world often and, through a lot of exploring, have found a few real […]

Kiss, Blush and Tell in Cosmo

Yesterday I got a message from a friend in Natal who told me that I was in this month’s Cosmo for Top 10 local blogs. What an amazing surprise!  Thank you, again, to everyone for all the support. Make sure you have ‘liked’ the Kiss, Blush and Tell Facebook page as I will be announcing […]

Exciting news: Wild Olive

For those of you who haven’t recently ventured into a Wild Olive store (Cavendish or Cape Quarter) you are seriously missing out. I love a store that constantly is bringing out new, exciting and innovative products – and Wild Olive is definitely this. A beautiful pic I saw on one of my favourite blogs, Beatnik […]

This time last year

This time last year I was arriving here. Here being Phi Phi island in Thailand. Below are a few pics that remind me of my month and a bit in Thailand that I have been gathering for a while. A little pick-me-up when reminiscing…   Image source
