A L’Oréal Love Affair!

My hair is fading! It is now a silvery/lilac colour and it’s really beautiful. Soon it is going to be back to blonde (what I originally wanted) and the strange looks I’ve been getting will stop… 😉 But since it’s still here, I’m making the most of it while playing with make-up.   SKIN & […]

Summer Holiday Essentials

Summer holidays are my absolute favourite. Here in the southern hemisphere our summer is from November, so we have hot, beachy Christmases instead of white, snowy ones. There are a few things that are vital for summer though, regardless of what hemisphere you’re in. I’m going to share what my essentials are in this post, […]

Some Positivity & a Casual LBD

I’m passionate about a lot of things: writing, makeup, poetry… And I’m easily inspired by people and what they do. A simple act of kindness can easily move me to tears. It’s then when I’m reminded that the world needs more people who are passionate and inspired. People who are willing and eager to radiate […]

Sunday’s: Tea For Two

I’ve been feeling quite gross and fluey the last couple of days, but what better way to cheer up a little than with a tea party? I decided to put a small one together today, since we have SO many sweet goods in the house. It’s no joke! Our house can be lacking in food, […]

Gina Myers: Celebrity Makeup Artist

A few months ago I went to my first Master Class hosted by Gina Myers, celebrity makeup artist. I have been to two more since then. I think it’s safe to say that either I really love Gina, or they’re some damn good classes… In this case, both are true! If you’d like to have […]

Kwa Maritane: Pilanesberg Game Reserve

Last week my family went on a little adventure to the Pilanesberg game reserve called Kwa Maritane. My mom had a friend come and stay with us from Nashville, America. And what’s the first thing you do when in Africa? Go to see the lions and elephants of course! Fortunately for the visitor, Derek, they […]

Saying Goodbye to the Year 2016

As the year quickly comes to an end, I find myself thinking back on 2016. Remembering all the good, soul enriching moments. As well as the hard ones that made the year seem never-ending. Somehow we all managed to get through it and can possibly turn our focus to another new year, 2017. This year […]

My Eyebrow Tutorial

It’s 2017 – a new year, a new eyebrow tutorial! Brows are still one of the biggest trends in the beauty and fashion industry. But unlike a few years ago when thin and round were in, natural and thick are the go-to look now. I got my eyebrows threaded for the first time a few […]
