Lush‘s Happy Hippy shower gel was a completely unplanned purchase. You know how people always say it’s windy in Cape Town? Well it was so windy that the shower gel I packed blew off the window sill and a couple of floors down and went missing. Of course I only realised that hours later just

I needed no coercion to spend an afternoon at the Saxon last week especially not to talk about spa treatments and handbags! I’d been to the hotel a few times before for high tea & drinks but this time we met at the villas, part of the hotel I didn’t even know existed. And apparently I wasn’t

So I really didn’t even want a tinted moisturiser but in a nutshell my frugal ways led me down this path. I’d been using a Bobbi Brown foundation for a while and that was working fine but I felt it was just a little too natural and didn’t last through the day (I do like the natural

I’d heard about Clinique’s new pop-up counter in my ‘hood for some weeks now but for some reason just couldn’t make the 1km trek across Nelson Mandela bridge to get there. Well when I heard that David Tlale was going to make an appearance it was really all the motivation that I needed! In a bold,

The folks at Ponds threw quite the party the day to celebrate the launch of their Gold Radiance range. I hadn’t experienced the brand before (nope, not even the BB cream!), so  I was quite keen to what this would be about. Gold Radiance sees Ponds launching into the anti aging category with their

A couple of weeks back I told you guys about Indeed Laboratories & their launch that I attended. They’re launching 4 products in SA to date and the one I have been trialing since launch is Hydraluron.

Lu, originally from Durban but living in Jozi for 12 years, describes herself as a fun loving wife to married to Suvan and mom to a 6 yr old son Riav, the light of her life. She works for a FMCG multinational for the last 7 years & hopes to someday have her own events company.

Ok, so I never thought I’d be doing a review on bath sponge but I came across a goodie & let’s be honest we all need to use something in the bath/shower so you may as well make it something good. This isn’t a category that I’ve paid a lot of attention to be

Last week I went along to the launch of Africology’s Spa at the (new)ish Maslow hotel. I had been to the Maslow Hotel before but had no idea that there was even a spa, so imagine my surprise when I got the invite. I kept asking myself how I missed it?! I have used Africology’s massage

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
