Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
A week or two ago, Karisa, myself, Darryn and Mark popped into the launch of Slainte in Green Point. (Have you been yet? The food is seriously awesome…) I actually would’ve liked to have stayed until the bitter end, but Darryn had been invited to a ‘special gig’ and once we found it what it was, we […]

These aren’t the first La Brasiliana goodies I tried. A while back I gave their DIECI All-in-one Instant Treatment, R213 for […]
Read MoreLast night myself and darling Lucy (the only chica I know who’s fluent in Mandarin) popped into the FNB Live Whisky Festival at the CTICC as guests of award-winning Scottish whisky The Macallan. Lucy was the ideal date ‘cos she’s ‘Kylie Minogue tiny’, making her easy to carry home when she passes out at the bar. Also, I’m a total newbie when it […]
Read MoreOooh, look what just arrived for moi: Thanks Radox – I can’t wait to get stuck in and will be sure to let all of you know my thoughts. As it is I’m already quite taken by the sweet berry scent of the natuRest herbal body wash with Juniper extract. Can’t wait to use it […]
Read MoreBeing a lazy cow, its taken me this long to finally get around to making business cards for my bloggetjie. Check ’em out: I got my cards from Moo.com, an online printing company, thanks to a tip off from my friend Dax.

Clouds was the perfect date for this particular event as she’s absolutely OBSESSED with skoene and one of the few girls I know who actually owns a pair of Louboutins. Guests included Tori from Kiss, […]

Read MoreWhen I was little and teachers used to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I didn’t hesitate in answering ‘Miss South Africa’. I totally thought it was a regte, egte occupation and that once you’d won, you’d kinda become the Queen of SA and get to reign supreme in gowns and […]
Read MoreSpotted the new November issue of Fairlady on the shelves yet? I’m keen to get my hands on it myself so I can check out the full list of winners for their Best of Beauty awards.I like that they picked both a ‘luxury’ and ‘bargain’ winner for each catagory – fabe for retrencho-gals like me. Having tried many […]
Read MoreA little while back, when Susan from Love Green introduced me to Balm Balm, she also gave me a little ‘facial starter pack’ of Spiezia, another organic skincare range that’s new to SA shores. Its produced on one of the first organic farms in Cornwall in the UK and has won loads of ‘green’ beauty awards. Of all the little minis I tried, I […]
Read MoreLast week I popped into the Clinique counter at the V&A as they were having a little meet ‘n greet for Cape Town beauty bloggers. I’d been dealing with their brand manager, Natasha, for a while now (usually to harass her for the odd price), so it was nice to finally meet her in the flesh. While I devoured […]
Read MoreGood ole’ Queenspark… Growing up in li’l ole PE, I remember how glamorous it was to shop at Queenspark. I did the whole modelling school fashion show circuit back in the dag and myself and the other girls used to always get into bitch fights over who’d get to wear the Queenspark rokkie. Also, my dad used to say that Queen’s Park always used […]
