And you’ve probably been told to consume this or apply that to fight them in your body. But what are free radicals, exactly? Where do they come from? Why am I being warned against them? Good questions, but before we can answer them, you need to know a little bit about your world, your body and how you got here. LIFE IS A MIRACLE, BUT YOU ARE ...

This base coat has really saved my nails - when I feel my nails getting a bit more brittle or weak , I change my usual basecoat for this Hardening nail polish when I polish my nails.  Essence Studio Nails Moisturising Cuticle Cream : I love this cuticle cream when I have very dry cuticles. This cream sinks into your cuticles quickly ... All downside for me personally - it has a floral smell ... And that's the only reason why I don't reach for t

Hi guys ! Hope you had a great weekend.  Today I'm sharing another unboxing with you guys - The RubyBox . The girls at RubyBox was kind enough to send me a box to review here on the blog at the end of March .  First off... How cute is the pink box it's packaged in  ? I love that the box looks so girly .  So onto the goodies in the box -  1. Africology Body Butter 25ml R45 For some reason - the scent makes me think of a holiday (It smells like a nice weekend away .. Perfection , and relaxing ). This is a very hydrating body cream , the scent lasts on your skin quite a bit too.   2. Natural Lab SPF 30 Face Cream 10ml  R40 I love this sunscreen , it has a SPF 30 , and doesn't have that weird sunscreen smell at all. Which is a bonus for me , because I don't like moisturisers that has a too strong sunscreen smell or feel.   3. Mavala Mini Cuticle Remover 5ml R74,95 This little gem is magical. It helps to remove and push back cuticles super easy. I
