Nimue Super Hydrating Serum review; it really is ‘super’!

Like I’ve mentioned before, I was a spoiled little cow in regards to my birthday and yet another of my ‘shame, you’re old’ surprises came from local in-salon skin care brand Nimue.

Tasteful Art’s Jaco Herbst photographic exhibition

Last week I was invited to a little photographic exhibition at Tasteful Art in Loop street. (For those of you have yet to pop in, you have to make a plan. Owner Kim makes the best carrot cake I’ve ever tasted and does a mean red velvet cupcake…) Now meet Jaco Herbst, the photographer who’s work […]
