Sweet tooth

On my next trip to London i will visit these shops. A traditional, old fashioned candy store – I would be in my element! When people say they crave chocolate, I am that girl craving jelly sweet, I literally am obsessed! It seems these shops are popping up all over London and are all the […]

Dry/problematic skincare routine

This is a mail recommendation I sent to a friend of mine asking for skin care advice. Her skin is pretty dry, however she really struggles with pimples around the jaw area and is 27 years old – thus starting to worry a little about aging. Her skin is quite sensitive and ‘thin’ so she […]

I’m a Kiehl’s fan

If I could launch one brand in South Africa it would definitely be Kiehl’s. If not for anything else, it would be for having the most incredible brand image. They ooze cool. Luckily some of their products are really nice too – and for their price tag, so they should be. I am a huge […]

This is how I feel today

This is how I feel today because 1) the family is in New York and I keep receiving BBM photos that say they miss me and make me awfully jealous 2) It’s a Monday OK now I’ll stop complaining, just needed to get that off my shoulders 🙂 on a positive note i am off […]

Tigi launch a new range

My hair feels amazing and it’s all thanks to my new product. I have only used it twice, so no drastic changes have been made, but the smell, feel and weight of the product is pleasing me so far! I got this product at Palladium Hair at The Cape Quarter on Friday after I had […]

I think I’m in Love

They do it every time. Just when I think I have the best range of polishes I want more! Have a look at Essie’s new autumn and winter collection – I have the Chinchilly and lurve it. I will collect it all so watch this space for more colours 🙂

Stationary Love

I came across this site when snooping around. As one does. I am a stationary addict – if you haven’t figured that out just yet. Unfortunately this range I found is not accessible to us here in SA but to my other readers, you can most probably get your hands on it and this makes […]

My Le Labo

I got my bottle of Le Labo perfume when living in London. It was a scent that a very glam lady I knew in London wore, and reminded me of the city – so whenever I do wear it, that’s the first thing that comes to mind 🙂 I hadn’t ever heard of these perfumes, […]

My not-so-super new YSL mascara

I purchased this in duty-free on the way home from Thailand. The adverts were everywhere in all the stores and I’ve always heard great things about YSLmascaras. I have a firm favourite being the Estee lauder Sumptuous mascara, but I am always open to trying new products. At R300 a hit you kind of expect […]
