Less than a week ago I was that person saying ‘Winter, what Winter?’ as I lounged around in a t shirt and made a mental note to take our electric blankets off. So I’m sorry Joburg, I jinxed it, I’m sorryyyyyyyy. I don’t know what the heck happened but in the last 2/3 days

I really, really do! They have to be leather though – I’ve only made an exception on that once. Since leaving corporate, I definitely went through a pumps stage (we live & learn!) and there’s probably only a handful of pairs I’d keep if my house was alight (& my Cons, obviously!). Somehow I

…. And I took them both out to play, obviously! Shoutout to Bron for helping me take my braids down and to husbaend for stalking my insta and hunting down these kicks for me 🙂 Be kind to your hair! W Photos: manmakecoffee

I really need to do a separate post about why it took me so damn long (it’s actually quite complex) but hey I did it! A couple if weeks ago Shelene (co owner) from Tanaz mentioned they wanted to open a braid bar but needed lots of practice and would I mind to come in so

I’d looooong ago given up the dream that Pot Luck Club would come to Jozi. Like, long ago. You know that serenity prayer about accepting the things you can’t change? Ya that was my mantra on this topic… So when I was minding my own business, scrolling online a few weeks ago and found

It’s been a while since I shared a review so here’s a goodie! I attended the L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Curl Nourishment launch just last week and firstly lemme just say it was a helluva party that left me feeling like I was basking in #BlackGirlMagic for daaaaays after… Later that day I was

So on the back of my recent luxe washday post, I thought I’d do a local version. Yup, I challenged myself to use only local products from start to end using what I already had in my bathroom/closet (like I don’t need an excuse to go shopping guys!). For clarity, when I say local
