Weekend snaps

I spent this last weekend in Stellenbosch with the same friend who is here from the UK. We went from cappuccino to wine and back and forth (over and over again). The weather really did lend itself to being as lazy and over-indulgent as possible, well that’s what we thought. Skinny Legs & All for […]

Pea, coriander and chilli soup

I have got very into my soup making this winter, not sure if it’s the new blender or just the simplicity of it! I know this one looks pretty similar to the one I did a few weeks back (see here), but this is the Pea and Coriander soup. Absolutely deliecious and really affordable ingredients […]

Keeping it clean

This home has been sitting on my desktop for a while and I just can’t get enough of it, so thought I would share. It’s how I envisage my apartment if ever I move overseas again (and have some extra cash, of course). I just love the simplicity and quirky touches and particularly the light […]

Weekend snaps

These are a few snap shots from my very busy weekend. I had a dear friend of mine staying with me from Ireland which meant way too much eating and drinking. Another dear friend who I am a bridesmaid for is here from Zim so we have a girls dinner at my house tonight, I […]

Shopping list

Believe it or not, I now have a note on my iPhone titled ‘London shopping’. Ridiculous really, but I promise you it comes in handy. I used to do it when I lived in London and when browsing UK/US blogs, watching vlog video’s or looking at UK magazines you come across cool little things all […]

Pretty + Rustic

This is a look I love. Pretty being everything vintage, floral, girly and just plain pretty, and then rustic being everything with a bit of age to it (that’s not the best description, but anyhoo). I am seriously not a fan of the good ol’ white wash and rustic frames (which I guess is deemed […]

SOil for Mother’s Day

If, like me, you have yet to get your Mum a Mother’s Day gift – I have the perfect idea for you!  I received this gift set from SOil a while back and have been meaning to let you all know about it. Their packaging is really spa-like and so is the scent of the […]

Africology Purifying Cleansing Gel

I was really excited to try this range out as I had heard so many good things. I love the packaging and I think the scents are beautiful, however, I am not so sold on the ‘do they actually do the job’ part. I have only tried the Purifying Cleansing Gel (so am not speaking […]

Feature wall {at home}

I have recently been adding bits and bobs to my house. I always find it’s these little bits that turn a house into a home. I’m big on the whole home thing (being a Cancerian and all), plus with my family being from Natal my flat is ‘home’, so needs to be a place I […]

Lip Rescue

Dreaded dry lips… it’s one of those things that seems to literally happen over-night! These are my top three products at the moment, and yes, I do use all three at any given time as they all have their strengths for different times of the day/occasions. Elizabeth Arden’s 8 Hour lip treatment – I have […]
