Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Did you girls have a fabulous public holiday? (I had to spend some of it at the office, wrapping up Woolie’s summer 2011 campaign, but there was light at the end of the tunnel… I got to go to Beluga with a few girlfriends and drown myself in their white chocolate martini. If you haven’t […]
Read MoreYesterday, I received a little pakkie of White Glo Night and Day toothpaste. (Thanks Ingrid!) A few years back, I had my teeth professionally bleached to a lovely fridge-like white which has since waned somewhat. That’s why I’ll occasionally boost them back to brightness with a course of Crest Whitestrips. These work like a bomb, […]
Read MoreIt’s sooo embarrassing how much time I can spend in Wellness Warehouse. I think I bust out a varicose vein just from crouching at their Yankee Candle shelf… (I’m crazy about their Vanilla Lime variant and have a big, fat one in my bathroom. Now, however, I’m thinking of splashing out on Sweet Strawberry. I’s […]
Read MoreQuick! Print out this page and hold this colour up to your face. Pantone’s Honeysuckle Does it suit your skin tone? For the love of God, I hope so, ‘cos if not, 2011 is going to be a problem for you… You see, this particular shade of ‘Tinkerbell nail polish’ pink is called Honeysuckle and […]
Read MoreLast night two of my besties threw a joint Moulin Rouge themed 30th. Naturally, I was relied upon to do a bit of make-up, including that of my best guy friend Alex. (Al, who happens to be the owner of Connor, the world’s cutest dog, is infamous for breaking out the wigs and guyliner at […]
Read MoreWas the Jupiter office party the other night. We had it at El Burro in Green Point, a new Mexican joint. Thus, myself and Didi thought we’d rock a theme. Please appreciate that I even went to the trouble of colour matching my unibrow. That’s ‘cos I take my excessive facial hair v. seriously – and […]
Read MoreEver wonder what happened to Michelle Bruce? (She was an ex-Miss SA back in 1986 and my dad always thought she was a hottie… ) As it turns out, girl’s still a stunner and is now called Michelle Mountain. She’s a seriyas eco-warrior and the founder of Strawberry International, a company that imports and distributes […]
Read MoreMine’s going to explode and spray blood all over the keyboard as I had waaay too much tequila at the office party last night. I’m now on a hangover/comfort food journey that begun with KFC’s newest, most evil brekkie item – deep-fried French toast fingers and syrup. (I’ve since ingested birthday cake, four slices of pizza and a quarter cupful […]
Read MoreLast night I got spritzed with Caribbean Tan courtesy of my gorgeous spray tan gal, Lisa Telo. Periodically exposing my winter whiteness to a perma-bronzed goddess that looks a bit like Jessica Alba isn’t the ‘funnest’ thing I could on a Tuesday eve, but Lisa’s a serious pro. Trust me. I fight my natural ghostly […]
Read MoreI’m totally addicted to the ‘site stats’ page of my blog. I LOVE seeing how many hits a day I get. If it’s 250 or more, I’m happy. Any less than that and I sulk. (For the record, I’m happy today…) Anyway, one of the cooler ‘site stats’ features is that I can see the […]
Read MoreHow’s this for serendipitous? I was sitting in the bath the other night, examining my wonderous Jane Iredale Magic Mitt, R169,95. I love the bloody thing, but had noticed that it was starting to look a little bit… er… mank. (I have a terrible habit of just leaving it lying sommer in a pool of […]
Read MoreThis Saturday, my friend Paige and I attended a fabulous little garden party to showcase BOSS Black’s Spring/Summer collection. (PR maven Galia Kerbel of Greater Than had called me in a tizz, needing an uber-glam venue that could host a good 500 peeps. Thus, because I’m a kind, generous and wonderful person, I didn’t think […]
