Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Last week NIVEA were kind enough to send me a huge hulking box of their goodies. As a result, I’m now inspired to start one of those ‘end of the world’ bunkers where you can safely store up a bunch of staples off which to survive. After all, the Mayans did say we weren’t going to […]
Read MoreSo let’s talk brows… Being blonde mine are rather light. I should totally dye them a little bit but I’m just too scared. The past two therapist who’ve tried somehow managed to turn them a hectique shade of black, causing my boyfriend to refer to me as ‘li’l Mexican muchacho’. Fun times. As a result, I rely […]

Aside from a delish lunch, I got to learn more about Vaseline’s new and improved body care range as well as the new goodies that have been added to Pond’s Age Miracle and Flawless Radiance ranges. I’ll be chatting about the latter in another […]
Read MoreLast week Clouds, she of And Lollipops, and I attended the launch of a new Southern suburbs restaurant, Josephine’s Cookhouse, in Boundary Road in Newlands, just next to SAB Breweries. It’s actually in the historic Josephine’s Mill building but has gotten a little make-over to give it a warm, cosy, casual feel, making it the type […]
Read MorePUMA have just added two new fragrances to their line up; PUMA Yellow for girls and PUMA Green for boys. Both scents are rather summery and have taken inspiration from the island mon; Jamaica. A ‘sparkling’ only slightly fruity-floral, PUMA Yellow’s official notes are bergamot, apple, magnolia, rose, violet, freesia, orris, sandalwood and cedar. All I can really pick […]
Read MoreA friend of mine is seriously considering buying Botox via Groupon. Personally, I’ve never bought anything off of Groupon and been left feeling like I’ve gotten my money’s worth, even at a discounted rate. Have I merely been unlucky? Am I possibly just a paranoid snob? Tell me girls, I want to know; would you buy a cosmetic procedure via […]
Read MoreDon’t you love it when a brand goes the extra mile in regards to press release presentation? Check out the little mystery box that arrived just last week: Surprise! It isn’t a sprinkling of anthrax or an ex-co-worker’s severed hand (a girl can only wish) but Maybelline’s new Illegal Lengths fibre extensions mascara, R100: … […]
Read MoreClicks is tres cunning in holding their electrical sale in winter; this is exactly when you really want to spring for a heater or an electric blanket and snapping it up on sale is a lure too good to resist. As it is, my boyfriend came home with a gas heater the other day. It […]
Read MoreEarlier this week I attended the World Class South Africa mixology competition at 15 on Orange. To fill you in, it’s a global competition to find the world’s best cocktail chef. SA had six peeps in the running and the winner turned out to be Brent Perremore from Asoka in Kloof Street, Cape Town. As for the party, it had a […]
Read MoreWe all lust after sexy designer shoes but unless you’re a fashion freak like my friend Clouds (try saying the three times real fast) or getting hitched to a billionaire like my little sis, few of us are actually going to buy them. Still, if you want to ‘sort of kind of’ fake the Louboutin look […]
