Hair Knots

Maybe it’s because I just can’t be asked sometimes… But always been a fan of a messy ‘bun’. Love the scraped-back-messy-hair look. Kate Moss, Alexa Chung and Sienna seem to pull it off every time. With summer coming up and having long wavy hair, this often is the best option.

The Weekend Roll-Out

If you follow me on twitter you will know that my weekend was spent in one of my favourite spots, Kalk Bay, where there is a family house that we stay in. It really is a place where I can switch into holiday mode on arrival – on second thoughts, stress never really seems to […]

My Dream Room

I will have a holiday home one day, similar to the one in Love Actually (where that man who has a crush on the spanish maid lives….. I’m shocking with movies and actors names so try get the picture). Anyway this will be my room and I will have 2 pugs and 2 bull dogs […]

Home-Cooked Pasta

A friend of mine at college was heading off to buy ingredients for his girlfriend who makes this delish pesto pasta, so I quickly jotted down the ingredients and threw them together to make what i think was close to her original… Ingredients Mini Skinless Chicken Breasts Pesto (basil) Cream (reduced fat) Sundried tomatoes (sliced […]

My Make-Up Essentials

We all have those few items that help transform our look somewhat. Those products you constantly reach for, and the few that you would secretly sneak into your bag for that au-natural camping holiday. I started using Mac’s Face and Body when I was in London because I wanted something lighter that made my skin […]

Dinner Party Time

Had a dinner the other night and was feeling very poor/uninspired about what to cook for my guests. Luckily my sister came to the rescue with a recipe for a simple chicken dish. It was amazing and could not have been easier. Definitely one of those dishes that can convince your guests that you have […]

I heart Mellissa’s

I know I know, it’s a bit old for some, but you know those places that every time you pay a visit you leave a happier and nicer person – well Mellissa’s is that for me. Kloof street branch being my favourite . My best is their breakfasts. A cappuccino with one of their irresistible […]

Skin Care Ritual – Summer

I have to change my skin care routine quarterly, and its this time of year especially. My skin doesn’t seem to know if its oily, dry/flakey or having the odd breakout. This is what i do to try keep it as stable as possible, taking into account the change in weather and humidity… Cleansing Day […]

Good-Mood Friday!

After what seems like the longest most draining week ever I am going to say something that I swore would never come out of my mouth… TGIF!!! Off to a graphic design exhibition in green market square called Lightly Salted. Should be good. “A group of up-and-coming graphic artists have got together to bring you […]
