PREGGY BEAUTY (PART 2): ALL ABOUT HAIR
I hope you found the first part of the Preggy Beauty series (on Skin During Pregnancy) useful. Today I’d love to chat about hair & pregnancy.

LAST MINUTE FATHER’S DAY GIFT IDEAS (FOR EVERY BUDGET)
Father’s Day is only two sleeps away & considering that there are 1.5 billion dads in the world, it’s great to know that research* shows that modern day dads contribute much more actively as parents than before.

FOOD TREND: BONE BROTH {+ A YUMMY RECIPE}
As far as food trends go you’ll find a brand new, fresh trend (like the Cronut) every now & then. But quite often food trends are basically just old ideas that have been given a dust-off or a new name & presented as a brand new thing. Case in point: bone broth. Earlier this year […] Read more…

BABOR REVERSIVE = BRILLIANT, BEAUTIFUL SKIN
I will admit it. I am biased when it comes to German products. They all just seem to be brilliant. Be it appliances (yay for Philips), cars (think Mercedes… Audi… BMW… Volkswagen…), skincare (Nivea, Eucerin) & fashion (Boss, Adidas, Puma). The list goes on. The thing with German brands is that they usually have a […] Read more…
LIFE CHANGES: GOOD, YET SCARY & CRAZY
The past month has seen the start of a brand spanking new chapter in our lives. It has been super busy & I would be lying if said that there weren’t any challenges & stresses! In case you thought that we were just lazing around, here’s an idea of what we’ve been up to: left […] Read more…
