Review: Human + Kind orange conditioner for dry hair and hand + elbow + foot cream

Human + Kind is a nice line of ‘chemical-free’ and cruelty-free skin and haircare products made using all-natural ingredients.

Review: Veaudry iStyler mini hair straightener

When local hot styling tools brand Veaudry offered to send me their iStyler (R1 190, retailbox.co.za), I didn’t quite click until it arrived that it was a mini travel styler.
