Neydharting Moor {detox wrap}

This past weekend I was spoilt to a Moor Detoxifying body treatment at Lis Spa in Chelsea Village (Wynberg). My therapist, Robyn, was fantastic and possibly the best masseuse I have come across in a while!  The Neydharting Moor skincare and bodycare range makes use of the peat (mud) and peat water from the famous Neydharting Moor […]

Ever-lasting nail polishes

I am overly OCD about a few pathetically insignificant things – and my nail polish is one of them. A nail polish can be ruined completely by one person using it and not knowing the basic principles of looking after nail varnish – and yes, there are ‘basic principles’. I thought I’d share my tips […]

ELIE SAAB {Le Parfum}

I have been dying to try this perfume for ages now. I don;t know what it is about the ELIE SAAB perfume – maybe the advert? Maybe the designer? Or maybe the fact that every time someone smells amazing and I ask what they wearing, the answer is Elie Saab? Elie Saab describes it as, […]

My winter essentials

This is my favourite time of year, but it most definitely takes its toll on my skin. Even the teensiest bit of negligence in winter and my skin reacts badly!  These are my top four products that have been seeing me through this season, and I simply cannot get enough of them! Bio Oil This […]

Tip Top Nail Addict

Tip Top recently sent me their latest summer colours from their Nail Addict range to try out. This product range has been around for a few years, but was only available to the professional market – however, the good news is that this has changed and is now available to you and me for a […]

Louis Vuitton {Core Values campaign}

Muhammad Ali is the latest personality to feature in Louis Vuitton’s Core Values advertising campaign. I absolutely love this shot, taken by Annie Leibovitz at his home in Arizona. The shot shows one of his grandsons who, wearing a pair of boxing gloves, stands proudly as if waiting to enter the ring. The tagline reads: […]

My steps to becoming more green

It is something that I have been beating myself up for a while now as when I lived in the UK I was so much more ‘green’ than I am these days. I guess living in a first world country does make it a bit easier in terms of recycling and transport, but either way […]

Introducing Fame by Lady Gaga

I have been so excited to share this with you, but have been sworn to secrecy (literally! Signed confidentiality forms et al!) – but it is finally here, and I can share the news of Gaga’s first ever fragrance – Fame. Now, the reason this fragrance has been so hard to keep a secret is because it’s […]

Butternut, Biltong + Feta Stuffed chicken

This is one of my all-time favourite dishes. It is so simple to do and is guaranteed to impress! I decided to do this for a Sunday eve dinner as I had recently been sent some brand spanking new kitchen appliances that made making this dish a lot easier!  Being in a new home, I […]

Urban Beauty Anti Aging Spa

I have been going through a phase ofseriousproduct testing, which really does take its toll on my skin (believe it or not). It always get’s to that certain point where it becomes too much, and then I know that a QMS treatment is long overdue. For those who read my blog regularly, you will know […]
