Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Remember I told you about that awesome spa special Spoilt Hair & Beauty in Green Point were running? You can get a full body scrub, detoxifying wrap and microdermabrasion facial for just 400 buckaroos! I was lucky enough to be invited to give it a bash and it’s divine, divine, divine! I’ve often driven past the salon, but never had the time to […]

Read MoreOnce upon a time, a beautiful princess looked into the mirror and said: ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall… who’s the fairest of them all?’ ‘Why, that Rapunzel chick, of course’, said the mirror. ‘What’?!’, shrieked the princess? ‘But this is MY freaken fairy tale… I’ve simply got to be the hottest gal in town!’ Mirror: ‘Sorry babe, […]

Read MoreK, so this has nothing to do with beauty… in fact, it’s a completely shameless punt for my friend Bheki. He’s a singer in the band iScream & the Chocolate Stix. They’ve shot a reality TV type thing-y called ‘Making It’, and reckon it’s a mash-up between MTV’s ‘Made’, ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘Idols’. The last […]
Read MoreThis month, Clicks has a brand new skincare range on the shelves called mySKIN. Essentially, this is a nice collection of basic facial care products to help you cleanse, tone and moisturise. As the moisturisers don’t contain any anti-aging ingredients, I reckon they’re best suited to younger women getting to grips with a beauty regime or anyone who’s not particularly worried about ‘wrinklies’. Also, as they […]

Read MoreEver heard of endermologie? For those of you in the dark, a treatment involves having a special massage machine swept over your lumps and bumps to give them the old heave ho. (The massager’s head looks a bit like a mini-vacuum cleaner and it gently sucks at your flab, pulling it up so as to give it a bit of a pummel which helps […]
Read MoreK, so let me tell you all about this little particular little opskop… Held at The Table Bay hotel, this is THE pre-Met party you want to go to. Think zexy celebs, cutesy canapes and litres of booze a la vino and J&B. I arrived with Lee-Anne Summers, but soon abandoned her to get my drunk […]
Read MoreThe other day, celeb publicist Andrew Farr called me up with an offer that was simply too good to resist… He wanted to know if I’d be keen to hang out with actress Lee-Anne Summers and watch her get glammed up, celeb-style, before the Glamour/GQ J&B Met pre-party.
