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…

MAKING (MAKE-UP) MAGIC WITH MARSALA

When the Pantone Colour of 2015 was announced late last year I was honestly a bit disappointed. Marsala is a rich reddish brown colour; redder than chocolate & browner than burgundy, but not quite maroon. My initial thought was that it looks old-fashioned. And who wouldn’t when you look at these celeb pics from the 90’s? But […] Read more…

INTERNET INSPO #3

I’ve been stumbling upon some interesting random bits – all related in the sense that they are things that I’ve been thinking about lately, like ageing & growing old with the person you love, & how we are likely to die much later than our ancestors. Napping is one of my favourite things to do, […] Read more…

FINDING ME… {slender wonder – part 1}

This blog post title sounds a bit like Finding Nemo. I know, because it is sort of the same plot. Like Nemo, before I started this journey, I was feeling terribly lost in the body (weight) department. [Disclaimer: what you are about to read, will contain a fair amout of drama & self-pity. You have been warned.] […] Read more…

DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF TO BE BEAUTIFUL?

Last week Dove launched such a relevant & striking campaign through the release of a short film. The film – shot in five cities (San Francisco, Shanghai, Delhi, London & Sao Paolo) aims to inspire women worldwide to reconsider the choices they make about their beauty & how those choices make them feel. And inspire […] 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
