The Concentrate

A few weeks back I was lucky enough to be spoilt rotten with La Mer, The Concentrate (I presume we should put emphasis on ‘the’.) And if not, well then it kind of deserves that ‘the’. This is the first of la Mer’s products that I was spoilt enough to try, other than their legendary […]

Pet Peeves #4

Today’s Pet Peeves is late, I know, but to be quite frank I am seriously out of it this week. I thought today was Wednesday up until a meeting I had earlier. This whole house buying thing is allowing me to have very little sleep. My OCD meant that I lay awake in bed the […]

I have a new home

This weekend was quite something for me, from a special friend’s wedding on Saturday (tears of course), to Ben’s rugby dance (huge celebrations) and finally to find out that my offer had been accepted for my first property *gulp*. Seriously nerve wrecking stuff, but at the same time all very exciting. I am only going […]

Day dreaming

Pet Peeves #3

–> Yay – Monday’s are starting to become kind if nice because a pet peeves post is due (see past posts here and here) – and better than that, I get to read your comments. You guys are as intolerant as me (well nearly) – makes me laugh so much. This week I am going […]

What’s in my handbag?

As promised, this is my ‘What’s in your Handbag’ post – one that I have been meaning to do for a while, and hoped to do a video on it rather, but due to my impatience and bad hair day, a post will have to do 🙂 Natalie from Tails of a Mermaid suggested I […]

Friday home loving

Today I wanted to share two different homes with you – both homes to the co-founders of Shipley & Halmos (Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos). Based in New York with their gorgeous wives – Allison Sires (co-founder of Thomas Sires) and Lisa Mayock (co-founder of Vena Cava), this post of for your Friday browsing pleasure!  […]
