Last week I got to take in a fascinating talk on microbes by eco-crazy chemist Trevor Steyn, the founder of certified organic and vegan-friendly skincare brand Esse. Since hitting SA shelves in 2002, Esse’s gone global and can now be found in Europe, Japan and the states. But you’re not going to find the brand […]

A little while back I was gifted with a bottle of Pravda vodka (thanks Little Black Book PR!) and I just had to show it off. Pravda hails from Southern Poland, dates back to 1743 and was once reserved for Polish nobility but can now be enjoyed by mooi meisies soos ek en jy. I think […]

A little back Wet n Wild sent me a nice, big box of their goodies. Like all cheap and cheerful drug store brands, some of their items were cool and some were a bit kak, but overall I was really impressed and found several favourites, the first being this awesome eye shadow trio, Wet n Wild […]

So it’s 2015. Thank God! I don’t know about you, but I worked like a dog in 2014 and it felt like nothing came easy. Sure, I got the things I wanted. But I had to fight, fight, fight for every bloody thing. And nothing came without drama. A big fight with a douchery that […]
