Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Merry merry julle! My boyfriend’s mom was kind enough to book us all into the Caledon Hotel & Spa for Christmas. If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know I said I’d write you a report as to what it’s like, but I have to be honest, there’s not much of a spa to write about. To give […]
Read MoreDid you guys know that Jupiter is pet friendly? Yip, if your furry friends are well behaved, it’s A-okay to bring them to work with you. This is my favourite agency doggie, Flash. He belongs to Claire, our masseuse. (Yes, we can break for mid day massages… Tres kak, I know…) Sometimes he rocks a […]
Read MoreMy little sis, Mandy, has a rad job. She lives in Mauritius and works for Club Med, getting paid to drink and party with the guests. So while I’m typing shizz like ‘our milk is 100% rBST hormome-free’, she’s sipping pina coladas and dancing to Tao Cruz under palm trees… Still, I’m not thaaat jealous. […]
Read MoreReeeee! I’ve just found out that Benefit have launched yet another sure to be smash hit blush box, Bella Bamba! Check it out: Does anyone know if this is available locally just yet? I can’t wait to try it out! Peeps are freaking out about it online, saying it’s a lot like cult classic NARS Orgasm, only […]
Read MoreYou girls been to The Wembley Clinic in Wembley Square? (I’d link to their site, but it’s under construction for the mo… Their tel is 021 465 6557.) I used to work there for a bit, doing eyelash extension. The place is a v. sexy chrome and glass affair and has always reminded me of […]
Read MoreJust got back from gym with my boy. Forced myself onto lots of horrid contraptions, but am most proud of my treadmilling. I klapped a rad 50 calories in a mere 6:15 mins! BOO-YAH! (Not feeling as bad about my weekend trysts with Peanut Blast anymore…) However, I’m still less than cheerful – a hot personal trainer who looked like a […]
Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader, you’ll know that I’ve been having fun featuring local PR princesses, getting them to spill on what it takes to keep them looking glam – even after the zillionth camera flash – throughout the party season. (To read about Little Black Book’s Marina Nestel, you can click here). Today, […]
Read MoreOooh, so exciting! It’s almost time for the L’Ormarin’s Queen’s Plate! Now, I know that all you glam, socially savvy Cape Town girls know exactly what I’m talking about. I mean, helllloo, it’s only, like, THE horse racing event of the year… (Yes, yes… I’m well aware of that other one… but if I wanted […]
Read MoreThis is another one of those occasional posts that has zero to do with beauty or fabulosity. In fact, it could well cause your demise into ‘I have to buy two tickets when I fly’ hideousness. Or at least see you investing in those horrendous tummy control undies… So, if you think you’ve got a ‘nice enough personality’ to be […]
Read MoreOooh! Have you seen The Beauty Bulletin’s fab new website? V. zexy girls… I like, I like… If you aren’t yet a member of BB, let me give you a few good reasons as to why you should hook up with them: a) If you review products on the site, chat to other members and […]
Read MoreI’ve never been into lipstick. It rubs off within minutes and the one’s that don’t tend to leave my lip feeling horrid and dry. That’s why I’m a lip stain girl. You’ll pretty much never spot me out and about with a little colour on my lips because without it, I look like a corpse […]
Read MoreThis month, I’ve had the pleasure of attending lots of exciting launches… especially since ‘tis the season to party.
