Why my Goal is Happiness and How I’m Achieving it

Maybe it’s very straightforward, I mean isn’t everyone’s goal to achieve happiness? But stick with me. At the start of every new year, there’s always that amazing feeling of positivity and the possibility of incredible opportunities – you know the one? A big part of that for me this year was the prospect of pure […]

Jewellery Accessorising for the Petite Girl

I have long been a fan of jewellery. I can remember the days of playing dress up with my mom’s rings and bangles, having to keep my hands up in certain positions so that nothing slid off. Fast forward to now and most of the time I still have to hold my hands in certain […]

Budget-Friendly Valentine’s Day Gift & Date Ideas

Once again, the month of L O V E is upon us and with it comes the frantic panic of many a couple trying to figure out what to surprise their significant other with. I’m a huge hopeless romantic and honestly, the cheesier the idea, the better! But I’m also no stranger to reality and […]

Nobody Likes You when You’re 23, and Other Lies

You may or may not know that I turned 23 on the 31st of January. To be honest it’s pretty unreal for me. When I was younger and saw “grown-ups” who were 23 years old, from where I stood it looked like they had their life together. Can you imagine!? A 23-year-old who knows exactly […]

Pineapple of my Eye

You know by now how important packaging is to me. You’ve seen me ramble on and on and on about how I appreciate when products are presented in the prettiest casing or arrive in the most beautiful boxes. It really makes the whole experience of make-up and beauty even more special for me. Obviously the […]

2019: The Year of Adventure

Pretty Vulgar Cool-Toned Eyeshadows

So many people I come across prefer warm-toned eyeshadows as opposed to cooler tones. And I’ll be the first to admit that I am one of those people. The bronzes, warm browns, soft reds, are all part of the warm family that I so often put on my eyelids. It’s probably because I’m so pale […]

The Perfect NYX Everyday Palette: Love Contours All

As far as product names go, I think this one takes the cake! The NYX ‘Love Contours All’ palette is possibly everything I could ever ask for in an eyeshadow palette. We all know how much I love love, I mean let’s be serious, I’m hands down a hopeless romantic. But there are different forms […]

Hartbeespoort Cable Car Adventures

You know that feeling of pure joy when you look out at the beauty around you and properly take in the moment by just being? That was how we felt when we went up the Harties Cable Way last weekend. How often do you do things in nature that really take your breathe away? My […]
