Hit up Canal Walk over the weekend with some gift vouchers to burn, but gotta say I struggled to find stuff. Does anyone else find this winter’s fashion offering kinda boring? Anyway, I was thrilled to discover that the mall’s HUGE new and improved Dis-Chem now stocks a big range of Physician’s Formula cosmetics. It’s an American drug store brand that specialises […]

Read MoreThis week I’ve been test driving two products from Kanebo’s SENSAI Cellular Performance Wrinkle Repair series. The line was created to help fast-forward your internal body clock to help maximise your skin’s cellular performance in the morning.
