I’d like to believe that technology has enabled us to work smarter & save so much time that we have more & more opportunity to do the things that we really love (like salon & spa treatments, of course). Sadly the opposite is true. The better technology gets, the less time we have. Ironic, no? But […] Read more…
One of my very favourite things to do during the festive season is to wrap gifts. If fact, my family members often make fun of me because I’m often very ‘strict’ about making the gifts look pretty & festive. Each gift – no matter how small – must at least have some sort of ribbon […] Read more…
I MUST, I MUST, I MUST IMPROVE MY BUST. This was the mantra of many of my high school friends who were seriously disappointed at their AA-cup sizes. At that stage of my life, I wasn’t too phased. Sure, I needed good support (being a generous C-cup) & I was the girl in ballet class […] Read more…
I don’t know about you, but the closer I get to December & Christmas, the slower I seem to get things done. I realise that I might have taken on a bit too much. I’m not complaining about work coming my way through, but still. All I really want to do is wrap gifts, bake […] Read more…
“Oh Mr Sun, Sun, Mr Golden Sun, Please shine down on me… Oh Mr Sun Sun, Mr Golden Sun, Hide behind the tree… These little children are asking you… To please come out so we can play with you….” Whenever I sing this song to my baby boy, I’m reminded of two things: (1) to make […] Read more…
Traditional bobotie is one of my top South African dishes! It is really, really tasty but often not the healthiest of recipes. For instance: my favourite traditional Bobotie recipe contains sugar, bread, jam, raisins, chutney & oil. It is served with yellow rice (made with golden syrup (!), turmeric and raisins). Mmm… probably not ideal […] Read more…
I am so excited about this post, I can hardly keep my composure! It is not December yet, which means you still have some time left to get your gift shopping in order, plan your menu & decor & get yourself organised. If, like me, you love the concept of an advent calendar, then you […] Read more…
I’m officially into the second week of the #betterbustchallenge with NIP+FAB, which started on 3 November 2014. Let me be frank: when I was approached for the challenge, the skeptic in me honestly did not expect anything to improve. As far as I am (or was) concerned, my post-baby bust would only improve with drastic […] Read more…
Since I can remember, I’ve always had & always loved Revlon nail colours. They are such winners & this one (called ‘Rich’) is no exception. It is a very unpredictable colour & almost changes colour as you turn your hand & the light catches your finger tips. Fun fun fun & a bit dramatic! I […] Read more…
End-of-year madness & the festive season is right around the corner, which means it’s time to pull out your favourite summer recipes! I love anything with vanilla & this punch is no exception. Recipe by Herman Lensing, food editor of Sarie magazine. This guy might be young, but he is über-talented. Love his work! I’ve included a […] Read more…
