Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Friday! How has your week been? Are you ready for the super duper cold weekend in Johannesburg ?? Last month I saw an awesome new subscription service pop up in my Instagram sponsored posts called Kids Book Club  and I decided to check it out. They have a great selection of packages available for most age groups too. As I mentioned in a previous post - Alex reads a book every night before bedtime. (He reads more though - he has to read a bedtime story to me every night ) I love picking up a few new ones often for a before bedtime read. I decided this subscription would be an awesome add on for us to give a try and see how we like it. We picked the single book Fox Favourites (5-10years) package and the theme for our June box was "Cozy". Our package included the starter pack, a cute book and two activity packs (the Cozy one that is the theme for the month as well as our starter pack one - which will come in handy this school holiday ).

Hi guys! Happy Tuesday. How was your long weekend? I'm on leave this week (thank goodness!) because the last two weeks at work was hectic busy.

I usually drink the teas in the range without milk or sugar - but I love this one with a little milk for a soothing bedtime drink and setting the mood.  Lately with life being super busy (and yes I'm currently that person with two planners ) I love hav

Hi guys! Happy Monday. How was your weekend? Can you believe it's June already? I've been super busy at work lately (Hence the no posts - but I'm slowly trying to get into my new work routine so I'm planning to post more too.) Also, I haven't forgotten the freebie for May - I will be posting two school kids related freebie worksheets this month. Last month I picked up one of the new Essence palettes they released. They have quite a few pretty new ones - but being obsessed with all things French and Paris I knew the Salut Paris palette was the one for me. And I was totally in luck - the colours in the palette is totally up my alley. I do love awesome mauve and pink and tones as everyday staples - so I loved the colour choices in addition to the neutrals in this palette. It makes it a very friendly everyday colours palette. Personally, for me, a mirror doesn't play that important role - but I do like that it is added to this palette. For some I know i
