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

I miss them

Miss you. every. single. day   Holidays always remind me of one thing; how incredibly lucky I am to have the family I do. Not that I forget or anything, but with us all living in different places, being together becomes incredibly precious. So this is just a post to say how much I miss […]

On the mascara hunt…

What mascara do you swear by? I cannot quite tell you how gatvol(*) I am of breaking the bank on some ‘brand new, insanely high tech and innovative’ mascara from the high-end brands that I love, only to be bitterly disappointed with the result it gives me. I am desperate to hear your recommendations, be […]

Balm Balm love

I am a packaging kinda gal – give me a pink package and we already half way there – so you can only imagine my excitement when my Balm Balm package arrived on my door step looking like this… I couldn’t wait to try it! I have been using Balm Balm for a while now […]

26 days

I got back to work yesterday, and as unpleasant as that thought is, at least my holiday was exactly what I needed.

Thank you…

To my dear readers… Thank you.  This year has been an amazing and exciting one for me and Kiss, Blush and Tell and I have only you to thank! I am flying to Durban at 6am tomorrow morning to start my holiday and plan on staying as far away from my computer as possible so […]

Christmas spirits

What better way to get a little festive at Chtsitmas time than a Christmas themed lychee mojito. I came across this image a while ago sans a recipe so after a lot of research, trials and tastings, this is the recipe i thought was most fitting. Lychee is one of my favourite summer flavours and […]

Please Santa…

This is what my wishlist would like like this year. By that I mean in my dreams… Either way we all allowed to day dream a little (and of course, hint).  I really am not making Christmas shopping easy for myself this year, firstly I made the horrendous mistake of dragging my Dad and brother […]
