Macaroons

Yes, I have been awfully self-righteous about the fact that I am the only girly blogger in Cape Town that is not in lurrrvve with macaroons – I didn’t really get it all.  I have eaten quite  a few before but always felt rather sick afterwards.I have always agreed that they look beautiful and all, […]

Eight Hour additions

My favourite multi-tasker product, and I’m sure many of yours, is Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour cream – and now the family is growing! Introducing the new Eight Hour Cream Targeted Sun Defense Stick SPF 50 PA+++(50ml – R195.00) – the perfect combination of the well-known eight hour cream, however this time with sun protection – […]

Essie: Spring 2011

One of my favourite parcels to receive and understandably so… Essie seem to WOW me with every single collection that comes out – and I can’t help myself but tell you all the news straight away (I literally received this about 10 minutes ago!) This is Essie’s latest spring collection for 2011 – pastels and […]

Tranquil Body Treats Body Salt Scrub

It’s that time of the year again, the time when you actually dust off your running shoes and decide to run a km – if that, and then despair in how revoltingly unfit you are. Along with this, it’s also that time of the year where you start bearing a bit of skin, and by […]

Weekend Love

From a run with Ben to Camps bay and a delicious Greek dinner at Maria’s to exploring the Hout Bay market (LOVE this place), doing odd bits of decorating/cleaning out at home and being […]

Ponds Age Miracle Advanced Night Repair

As you are all aware, I went to the Ponds launch at the One and Only Hotel about 2 months ago – and have been experimenting with the products ever since. As I say in my “This & That” tab – I will only ever write about a product once I have used it myself […]

Top 5: From Lize

Today’s pick is from the glam and ever-so-lovely Lize The Unicorn (Twitter & blog). Her girly opinion was a must-have and I think her top 5 are just fab.  I actually took her advice on the aqueous cream – and you seriously cannot believe the difference in my skin on my body – so thank […]

Pretty-ness at WWW

This to be is the epitome of office perfection. An environment that I would thrive in. Wouldn’t we all 🙂 These are the offices of Who, What, Wear – an website devoted to all things fashion. These are their new offices in LA and they really have got me dreaming… Images here

Back to the basics

My skin does not wear well in winter – it gets so dry and really needs every bit of TLC I can give it. I had been getting caught up in doing all the fancy-shmancy things to my skin, like glycolic peels, super high-tech masks and body masks – and was still battling – so […]
