Bardot Tops & Ripped Jeans
Oh yes, one of my favourite outfits to date and a combo that I’m missing terribly this winter! The floral bardot top and these cute, ripped jeans are two pieces that I wore quite a bit in New York and London. As much as I love to dress up and get glamorous, I’m very much […]
Nyx Dream Catcher Palettes: I’m Obsessed!
Dream Catcher Palettes It’s Monday again (how does that always happen so quickly?) and I am sitting here, procrastinating doing the university assignments and tasks that I need to do, drooling over these Nyx eyeshadow palettes instead. I did a video where I spoke a little bit about these palettes that you can watch here, […]
My Quick Holiday Glowy Make-up!
Hi guys! Wow, it has been quite a while since my last blogpost.. the last few weeks have been rather eventful, in both good and bad ways. But I am finally back and I have so many posts that I have thought about and want to share with you! On that note, this post is […]
Talking Skincare: My Dermalogica Edition!
Winter. Those dry months. The tight skin. The painful thought of it all… Anyone else know what I’m talking about? Well if you don’t you are damn lucky! I have been struggling with dry, dehydrated skin for a while, to the point where it causes my make-up to look flakey. I haaaate that! So, while […]
Living with Anxiety
I’ve been putting off writing this post for a while, for two reasons: firstly it is quite an intense topic and I’ve always wanted my blog to be an escape from the real world (to an extent) and secondly, it seems as though everywhere you look there’s someone with anxiety, depression, OCD, etc. I didn’t […]
Reaching Goals and Staying Motivated
This week I have been feeling very motivated in terms of my blog and university work. (Yes I do realise it’s only Wednesday. Don’t burst my bubble!) But when it comes to feeling overwhelmed and letting the stresses of work demands get to me, I am very easily controlled by my negative thoughts and uneasy […]
My September Reading List
I have loved reading since I can remember. Getting lost in the pages of a book, rendering yourself completely to the characters, and filling your mind with your own creative imagination as the story unfolds. A good book is something that easily excites me. 2016 showed me an array of books and authors I would […]
Threads: Stitched by Standard Bank
I have grown up with a love for fashion, and having a fashion designer for a mom has given me quite a broad insight into this crazy industry. I’ve been into the factories where garments are manufactured, I’ve sat in during fitting meetings, I’ve felt the stress when deadlines are looming and things aren’t ready […]
Some Things Are Easier Said Than Done
This morning on my way to work I heard one of The Script’s songs and this one line stood out to me: ‘Turn the pain into power”. I’ll get to its relevance soon enough but firstly, I have been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be gentle with ourselves. Mainly mentally. This […]
My Two Travel Essential Skin Products
One of my favourite things in the whole wide world to splurge on is skincare products! Whether it’s a face cleanser or hand cream or some kind of facial mask, I love it all. And I always think if there’s anything you’re going to look after, it may as well be your skin, seeing as […]
