Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
A little back myself and two beauty besties, Lauren from Dearheart Beauty and Emmy from Rouge Beauty popped into Dreamnails in Cavendish to grab a quick Dream Pedicure (R225). I’m not sure when it happened but the store’s clearly had a makeover. I was also impressed with their huge colour and brand selection. OPI, Essie, […]
Read MoreLast weekend I was invited to hit up Sun City with a bunch of media peeps, zooming in on SA Express’s new flight. Yep, no more driving, chicas! You can nip right into Pilanesberg from either Jozi (40 mins!) or Cape Town (1 hour, 20 mins). Do it! Do it! Do it! Book your flight […]

Read MoreI don’t know about you, but I was a very fortunate child, attending a fancy pants li’l junior school where we all wore spiffy uniforms and felt extremely hard done by if our tuck shop had the gall to run dry of chocolate Steri-Stumpi. If that happened, it was The End of the World. And […]
Read MoreA while back I agreed to participate in Pantene’s blogger trial which meant using Full & Thick for a month. Many of Pantene’s new formula now contains a ‘blocker’ to protect against the damaging effects of the minerals in tap water that I’ve covered over here. I didn’t refer to that in the video as […]
Read MoreLast week a number of goodies crossed my desk including this boy who really impressed me. It makes use of micelles (lipid molecules) as well as antioxidant vitamin E and soothing Camellia oil to take off sommer anything in two quick strokes. In fact, you could pretty much smear car battery oil all over your […]
Read MoreBeing a (good) dad is hard work. I know this ‘cos I was one of two daughter’s bestowed upon my dear, old dad who basically came of age in a house full of strong-willed, occasionally hysterical females who relegated him to a life of always having to be the green My Little Pony that nobody […]
Read MoreA while back I was taken on a whirlwind media tour through Franschhoek to prove that the gorgeous little town doesn’t fall asleep in winter. That’s there’s still lots to do and yes, it’s just as pretty when it’s covered by a few clouds. Now between you and me, I already know this. Franschhoek is […]
Read MoreI’m typing this with a super fun sinus headache so we’re going to pretend I wrote an interesting intro and then jump right in, okay? There’s news you need to know if you’re a Dermalogica fan – they’re running a special on their AGE Smart Overnight Repair Serum. Overnight Repair Serum is a mostly sunflower, […]
Read MoreAs expected, the annual black tie charity fundraiser 5 for Change, was a blast but as I’m typing this from my sick bed and feeling like utter pooh I’m going to roll things out in bullet points (gasp!), slapping in a few piccies at random that should do most of the talking. Things you need to […]
Read MoreGuys, there are sooo many posts I want to put up right now but my blerrie flu is back and I feel like I’m dying. Will get to a doctor later today (fatigue, cough that tastes like blood, drip, shivers, weird heart beat – I think it’s antibiotic time) but right now just the thought […]
