Read MoreIf I didn’t already own a ghd, this might me all I’d want for Christmas (aside from Eric from True Blood chained up to a radiator in my basement): The collection draws inspirasie from the ‘roaring 20’s’ and has a Snow White-esque ad campaign featuring ghd frontwoman Katy Perry. Anyway, if you’re feeling the pinch […]
Read MoreRight now the beauty world’s a’buzzing in regard to BB creams, the hot new make-up multi-tasker. A v. big deal in the East, BB stands for blemish balm, but it’s not a zit-zapper. Essentially, a BB cream is a multi-use product that aims to be a moisturiser, sun block, primer and foundation all in one. A […]
Read MoreIf you’re big into The Body Shop it might be worth popping into your local after work this week; they’re holding a big ass summer sale on selected items and you can save up to 60%! I totally regret not snapping up a Mango bath/shower gel, but I was in a mad rush. I also sniffed another shower gel in a […]
Read MoreIf you’re a beauty freak like me, chances are you’ve heard about peeps going on and on about the fabulosity that is Argan oil. So, what’s all the fuss about?

Read MoreThe other day I met an ecessively kiff chick, Susan, who’s importing fab organic brands to SA and distributing them via stores like Wellness Wareness. Of all the goodies she showed me, the one thing I’m most in love with is Balm Balm. A UK brand, Balm Balm is 100% organic and has won a zillion awards […]
Read MoreIf you’re a Lipgloss regular, you’ll be familiar with zexy Jeff… Above is one of the tamer, more publishable shots from our impromptu attention-seeking photo shoot from the Peroni yacht party earlier this year.

Read MoreLast night I was treated to a Mexican supper at my friend Omesh’s place. Eating anything he whips up is always a treat ‘cos he’s tres talented in the kitchen (all those years on an East-NET cooking show totally paid off) and, like me, takes a ‘theme’ rather seriously. Thus, I decided to include a bit o’ Mexican flare to my dessert by baking […]
Read MoreWoolies have a nice new bath and body range in store called Fresh Delights. I got to play around with them the other day at Woolies’ pre-Christmas showcase and was impressed with their quality and fabulous price points. (To give you an idea, their foam bath and body butters are only R27,50!) The range consists of four different scents, […]
Read MoreWhen I was little, I used to be addicted to my gran’s Good Housekeeping magazines. (My Aunt Edie used to buy her a gift subscription every year, so she always had them lying around the farm house).
