Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Working at le Jupiter Drawing Room is proving to be troublesome for my ass… We have cake just about every bloody day… Today these Charlie’s Bakery beauties rolled in to help celebrate the birthday of our divine MD, Kevan Aspoas. It was actually Jupiter’s 17th birthday earlier this week too. We had a ‘matric dance’ […]
Read MoreThe May 2011 issue of MarieClaire has just hit the shelves and contains the list of winners of their Prix d’Excellence de la Beaute awards. (For those of you who don’t know, this is kinda like the SA version of Allure’s Best of Beauty awards.) This year’s big winners include Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark […]
Read MoreJust so you know, Jane Iredale is holding a make-over morning in Stellies next month; you’ll get to enjoy ‘a morning of natural glamour’ and learn more about the mineral-lovin’ beauty brand in a gorgeous, relaxed setting. (Reckon it’s a nice way to kick off the day before you get stuck into the wine route…) […]
Read MoreFab news girls! Vincent from Crabtree & Evelyn just told me that in order to celebrate the brand’s impending 15th birthday, they’re going to be running a series of fab specials and offers.

Read MoreOoooh, looky, looky… The invite to the SA launch of Patron Silver tequila just got hand delivered to me at my office. (Yes… yes… I’m, like, sooo fancy…) ;-P It says: ‘Love to be a VIP? Perfect!’ and promises cocktails and canapes in a penthouse suite in town. I like… I like… Gotta say, I […]
Read MoreGirls, just so you know, Shoe HQ in Woodstock have finally got some new winter stock in… A lot of it is cheap and nasty-looking kak, but there’s some real gems to be find in between. Like these babies… The sales dude irritated the living shizz out of me by following me around the store […]
Read MoreThe other day I got sent a little pakkie from the girls at Freebees PR. It included a Nutriwomen Anti-aging Skin Therapy cream (which I’m busy test driving) and TLC Deep Cleanse 3 in 1 make-up remover facial wipes. I like this because I can open and close the wipes with ease and don’t have […]
Read MoreYou girls heard about Skoop? It’s rad… the ‘new revolution in collective buying’. How it works is that someone puts out a killer special (think a discounted rate at a spa or night out in a fancy pants restaurant). They commit to selling it off for a seriously discounted price, provided a certain number of […]
Read MoreSo turning thirty wasn’t as kak as I thought it would be… When I woke up on the day, M, my beautiful boy, had already left at 6am to go play golf… (he came back later so we could do brunch…), but still, in order to compensate for his absence, he left me an awesome […]
Read MoreLast Monday was pretty bleak… I still felt hideous from an evil flu, had to get up the ass crack o’ dawn to sign off the insert from hell and was drowning in a backlog of time sheets… so you can imagine how awesome it was to get an e-mail from the front desk informing me that a little somethin’ somethin’ […]
Read MoreTomorrow I turn the big three-oh… Eek! As I’ve decided to be proactive in regards to fending off my demise into Oldsville, I popped into Just Skin Aesthetic Clinic in Green Point for a bit o’ Botox. Was met at the door by darling Carol MacCallum, the owner, with a nice glass of Pierre Jourdan […]
Read MoreRemember how I used those awesome Broadway falsies the other day? I swore blind after putting them on that I wouldn’t resort to my usual removal method; pulling them all off the moment one starts to lift… but I totally did. And I regret it so much because I’ve definitely damaged my nail bed a […]
