Wiscellaneous

When my hubby came with  a Sorbet gift voucher (thank you to whoever gave it to him!) I promptly confiscated it & tucked it away into my purse. I’ve seen their branches pretty much everywhere with new stores opening all the time but for some reason hadn’t tried them out yet. Last week I was feeling a bit

Everything was just right about this shoot. I want…         More pics & the full story here. Have a great weekend! W

I’m at a point if my life where I definitely don’t feel like I need to be following every new trend every season and have everything that catches my eye. These days I’m really asking myself if I lust a particular item, what I have it my closet that it’ll work with and if I’ll

You’re in luck! A couple of weeks ago I mentioned having been treated to Connoisseur Mobile Day Spa’s services (read the review here) & they’ve kindly agreed to extend the offer to one of my readers! You can win the “Beauty Package” valued at R 2000 which consists of the following treatments for 2 people in

I got a spoilt with a bundle of goodies from The Spa Shop recently (yup, expect a bunch of reviews!). The hair goodies caught my eye immediately – always awesome when someone takes the time to read your blog instead of just sending you a bunch of stuff! If you haven’t heard of them, The Spa

A couple of weeks ago I met up with 2 energetic & ambitious ladies, Mummy & Shereen who have started their own ethnic hair care range of out their own sheer frustration with the limited products on South African shelves. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention! All the ingredients are a combination of organic & naturally derived

I have mixed feelings about markets in general. It’s a nice/different outing (I’m so over malls) but I find them expensive, even though I keep reminding myself it’s not massed-produced stuff that I’m buying & of course it’s always great to support local. That said, markets have almost become part of Joburg culture in

When I think of charity fashion events fashion shows immediately come to mind but this idea I came across online feels like pure genius. Now I love fashion shows as much as you, but they’re over so quickly & you walk away with well, nothing. Over the last few weeks, Vintage with Love has

There’s definitely been a fashion theme on Wiscellaneous this week, so in keeping with that I have one more from Pippa J, who you 1st met in this post. Have a great weekend, I hope we have some sunshine in Jozi! W — Plain leggings in cotton lycra are a little bit dated, in

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that Marion and Lindie would be closing shop in SA & when I walked by what was the Sandton City store a little while back, I saw this… Karen Millen started out in 1981 with a £100 loan (so the story goes) & is undoubtedly one of the most successful

Late last week I tagged along to the Sunglass Hut Mother’s Day event in Sandton City. My heart dipped a little when I saw the invite as the plan was that everyone should bring their mom along for an afternoon of fun. My mom lives in Cape Town but I knew right away we would

There are many brush cleaners that the various make-up brands sell at their counters. Partly because I’m frugal & partly because I prefer a “deeper cleanse” I haven’t opted for any of those so far. And if you’re not yet convinced you need to clean them at all, be sure to read this post

I came into the make-up game really late & very gradually. It wasn’t until my mid 20’s that I invested in a full set of professional brushes & only months later did it occur to me that I needed to clean them. source Here’s why you need to: There’s continuous build-up of make-up on

It’s been a little while since I did a blogger interview and today’s one is a goodie. Siyaam Ally of Simply Siyaam is one of the 1st blogs I started following before I even started my own blog. She’s all about affordable fashion & she’s really gorgeous so she looks good in anything! Siyaam,

Having a new place to eat open up in my ‘hood will always be a an event for me. I love seeing development happening in town, it just makes me really happy. I’d heard about Daleahs for a while & was itching to go but the hubby banned me until he was able to tag

Last week I went along to Canadian based Indeed Laboratories’ launch of their leading product Nanoblur. I’d seen Nanoblur advertised in couple of international magazines but didn’t really know too much about it, so I went along very keen to find out more. The launch was at The Venue in Morningside (my 1st time there), a
