Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Sigh… I’m uber-bleak today ‘cos my evil partners in crime, Karis Piss and Nickle Pickle, have abandoned me… KP’s buggered off to Italy for a month. Girl’s going all by herself; a solo trek to see a bit of a country she’s always had a thing for and perhaps finally learn to cook. (My mates […]
Read MoreYesterday, Fairlady’s fashion ed, Chu, and I were having a little twitter convo… He said that I made him homesick for Thai Thai so I offered to stick him in my hand luggage and take him with me the next time I go. He seemed cool with it, but said he’d only join me if […]
Read MoreOMG girls! Yesterday, I attended a Johnson & Johnson launch and was told that they’re discontinuing RoC skincare in South Africa! Can you believe it?! Apparently the brand, which has a bit of an apothecary, ‘results based in science’ type of feel has struggled to compete with ‘glossier’ department store options. It would seem that SA […]
Read MoreOMG, how hideous was last night’s weather? Have to admit, a part of me really didn’t want to venture out to attend Fairlady’s Winter Fashion and Beauty preview, especially since I’m now down and out with flu, but I was told it’s always good fun. Thus, I dragged my snotty li’l self off into the […]
Read MoreIf you follow me on twitter, you might’ve caught my rant re the new My Little Ponies. I happened to catch sight of them in a toy shop while stuck in the hell hole that is KL airport. Anyway, just to show you that I’m not talking kak, I’d like to give you a peek […]
Read MoreLike I said, I’m now having to work hard at being a ‘nice girl’. Thus, one of the first acts of my shiney-new niceness is to share a few of my top travel beauty tips, clearly inspired by my recent trip to Thai Thai. Some I’ve learned the hard way, the other’s are the better one’s I’ve come across while researching the zillion, million ‘top travel beauty tips’ […]

Read MoreI’m ba-aack! Aside from a 6 hour stopover in KLIA (AKA as the most boring airport on earth) and a hideously long flight that saw my legs swell up like overstuffed boerie, I had a seriously rocking holiday. Thailand is the shizz and a place I want to migrate to every winter for the rest of […]
Read MoreHey girls Can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this or not, but tomorrow sees me winging my way to one of my fave places in the world; sunny, beautiful Thailand! Dying to swim in a sea that feels like bath water and snap up faux designer handbags made by small, hardworking children… (Their tiny little hands make […]
Read MoreWoke up the day after the Groove Armada party looking like this: I’m still in my party rokkie, but wrapped in a gown in bed. In the wee hours of the morning, when I’d gotten home, one of my old bosses spotted one of my drunken tweets and we ended up having a fat, sozzled two hour […]
Read MoreDid anyone go to Groove Armada? One half of the DJ duo, Tom Findlay, played at Cape Town’s superclub, Trinity, over the weekend. Nickle Pickle and I popped in, ready to get our ‘Superstylin’ on, but unfortunately had to leave just before Tom did his set. (Some ‘friend dramz’ popped up… you know how it goes…) Still, I had a good time […]
Read MoreIt should be pretty clear by now that I love, love, love Crabtree & Evelyn. Their Gardener’s Hand Cream has ruined me for life in that I just can’t imaging putting anything else on my mitts – and I adore their olde worlde, ever so posh packaging. Toootally reckon that if you popped into Buckingham Pallace […]
