How about adding a finishing touch to your outfit when going to your next party or event by ‘dressing’ your nails to complement your outfit? This is exactly what I did when I hosted my annual Cuppa4Cansa tea party on Saturday. The theme: black & white with a pop of colour! Quite fitting, my nails were also […] Read more…
MY CUPPA 4 CANSA {BLACK & WHITE WITH A POP OF COLOUR}
I love the Cuppa 4 Cansa* campaign. Maybe because it’s an excuse to have a party AND do something worthwhile at the same time? I’m so grateful that my inner-inner circle has not been affected by breast cancer, but I know many women who have & I really believe that this is a cause worth […] Read more…
5 fun ideas to end off breast cancer month {plus: fave pink beauty products}
The realities of breast cancer are harsh, but creating awareness, raising money, celebrating survivors & those who battled it, & doing your examinations, don’t have to be boring or make you sad….

ORAL-B PRO EXPERT TOOTH PASTE {a zesty review}
During the month of September, I (along with selected other bloggers) had the opportunity to try out the brand new Oral B Pro-Expert toothpaste.

Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy™ in Casino Star {nail colour of the week}
No matter how much I love having a mani, I’m not the biggest fan of gel overlays done in salons. Admittedly there are really fantastic products on the market, so I’m aware that the problem is not the product, but often the nail techs. Sadly, I have just had too many bad experiences with ladies […] Read more…
foodie crushes: Russian Doll Kitchen Goodies
How cute are Russian dollies? I can’t put my finger on why I love them so much. Maybe it’s the surprise element? Or just the fact that they’re such fun to unpack? Anyhow, they’re still as cute (or even cuter) today as they were when first carved back in 1890. Whether you like to call them […] Read more…

Here’s a really pretty summer nail colour for you: it is called ‘Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do It’ from the OPI Classics Collection: If you love painted nails as much as I do, then you have to get to Polish Nail Spa in Parkwood, Jozi (where I had these done – thanx Vicky & Lexi). […] Read more…
THE TRUTH ABOUT DRY SCALP
I don’t skimp on hair care. In fact, I use quality salon products, try to keep heat styling to a minimum & I also have regular in-salon treatments. So you can image my surprise when a stylist at my local blow dry bar mentioned that my scalp was dry! Then I realised that this is […] Read more…
MINI S’MORES {RECIPE}
For a while now, I’ve been thinking of MINI TREATS FOR MINI PEEPS, so this was the first experiment! Technically this cannot be classified as a recipe. Maybe I should call it a ‘throw-together’. Nevertheless, it is a fun, yummy little treat for tiny (or big) tummies! Note: The end result wasn’t photographed as well […] Read more…
