How to do the beach in style

The average day on the beach in South Africa is everything but glam because generally you are sweaty, red in the face and in and out of the sea as much as possible. Either way, here are some tips that can help in keeping your skin protected and keep you looking fresh and radiant! The […]

My Interior Design Course is almost complete

So my Interior Design course is still ticking over and the 10 weeks is nearly coming to an end (already). I have had so much positivity coming from you, my readers. I know there are some of you that have already signed up and others who plan to soon which is so exciting! Others have […]

Hairstyle Trends with Toni & Guy

I recently decided to chop 15cm of my hair off and it was strangely liberating. It’s odd what a difference a simple hairstyle change can bring. I also found it really encouraged me to try new styling and, more than anything, encouraged me to wear my hair down more frequently which I wasn’t doing at […]

This may seem like a pretty simple post as we all know the basics of painting our nails, but it literally makes my eyes bleed when I see Instagram pics of girls showing off their painted nails with flooded cuticles/chipped nails. No, no, no! Keeping your nails looking good and healthy doesn’t need to take […]

My skin detox with REN

I was spoilt rotten by one of my all-time favourite brands. In my last week of work last year I had a mini-facial and a meet and greet with the fabulous REN South Africa team as well as the Global Director of Education and Training for REN, Rui Branco – what an honour! The meet […]

I thought it was pretty interesting and wanted to share it with you guys as well as my little two cents to the discussion. “For years and years the go-to beauty mantra for perfect skin has been “cleanse, tone and moisturise”.

Summer hair tutorials with Toni & Guy

So I thought I would continue with this tutorial story as I know so many of you enjoyed my previous post on this (see here). Believe it or not one of my new year’s resolutions is to do more with my hair. I am lucky in the sense that I can just leave my hair […]

Gatineau Collagen Expert Range Launches in March

Ah, this is such a treat to be using Gatineau products again. When I initially trained as a beauty therapist this was the range that we were trained in and used throughout – I really did grow to love it. Some of my old favourites come from this brand like their cleansers, lip products and […]

What a year – thank you!

I cannot believe I am doing an end of year blog post – what a year! Thank you so very much to each and every one of you for making this year what it was for Kiss, Blush and Tell (and me personally). Your support and kind words have made this an incredibly special one. […]
