So Swiss nail care brand Mavala turns the big five-oh this year. To celebrate, they’ve launched five new nail polish shades that were inspired by the colours that were big back in the day when they first hit the shelves.

Is there anything more amazing than a good massage? I mean aside from when Eric from True Blood whips off his shirt… or when SARS says ‘hey there little girl! We’ve decided to give you back this fat chunk of cash…’ Seriously. Like what beats a really good massage? I always say I’m going to […]

Lo que pasa chicas? Puedo decir que este pegado al traductor de google? I’ve always wanted to go to Spain. My dad spent a bit of time over there back in the 70’s and says it’s totally awesome and he’d love to go back (even though the cops in some teensy pequena ciudad tried to lock him […]

So I finally got around to testing Skin Logic’s foot peel booties: In a nut shell, it’s a clear non-sticky serum made up of AHA’s (lactic and glycolic acid specifically), a couple of hydrating ingredients (urea, glycerine etc) and 15 plant extracts; things like sage, lavender and olive leaf.

Popped into the Eikstad Mall (in Stellies) on lunch and see that The Body Shop’s winter sale is still going strong. Absolutely EVERYTHING in the store is less 20% and they’ve also got certain bits and bobs going at up to 50% off. I made a point of stocking up on my beloved Tea Tree Night […]

Squish! Squash! A bubbly boom; the Rascals make the fruitiest chews. The flavour never stops – oh no – with the Rascals’ fruity pops! Yip, it’s official; Rascals are back on the shelves! They’ve also got a Facebook page, website and twitter account and swear that nothing’s changed; they’re still the exact same sweets you know and love. […]
