Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday! How has your week been so far? I'm not going to lie - year-end burn out is especially hard this year - and it's taken a toll on my skin as well. My skin has been looking a lot more tired and dull (and I'm sure it's from all the extra work stress as well as living through a pandemic .) Filorga sent me their new Lift Structure Ultra Lifting Rosy Glow fluid to try out and it came at the perfect timing!  I already know almost all the products from this brand that I have tried I adore - they really are some of the best skincare products I have tried over the years. Lack of radiance - is an issue that affects all ages - dull, blurred, grey, and tired complexion. As time passes, it becomes increasingly difficult to restore the face's natural radiance. This gorgeous cream has a gorgeous rosy glow - that helps you look more awake and with a healthy glow.  Plasma Lifting Factors - cellular factors + collagen + hyaluronic acid, provide visibly redefin...

  Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. Look at me getting more than one post ready in a week. How has your week been so far ?? It's getting closer and closer to the Festive Season ... and I for one can say I'm ready to start the Christmas music and feel all the Christmas cheer vibes.  Cadbury made gifting easier this year with some new Festive Treats to gift the special people in our lives (and perhaps even yourself ... because you worked hard and somehow survived 2020 so far ). This year Cadbury introduced a New Festive Range consisting off - Cadbury Dream Coated Wispers Snowballs  As well as three Limited Edition Festive Inspired 150g slabs : Cinnamon Crunch Festive Gingerbread Butterscotch and Crushed Almonds So far we've sampled most of the range - and all the Festive inspired chocolates are beyond yummy. I adore the Festive Gingerbread (if you love Spicy Gingerbread cookies you will adore this slab ). Alex and the rest of the family loves the Butterscotch and Crushed Almond one...

  Hi guys! Happy Monday. Can you believe we quickly counting down to Christmas and the end of 2020? This year feels like it has flown by and taken forever. Alex is starting exams today and work is intense crazy now - so much so that I am struggling to find my feet - in combination with the normal year-end burnout - which somehow feels a little more intense this year. Today I'm sharing one of my favourite everyday essentials with you guys - The Filorga Flash Nude Pro Protection Tinted Fluid with SPF 30. I was sent a few samples to try out along with the Primer - and let me tell you I quickly fell head over heels for this magical foundation formula.  My whole life I have basically been a full coverage gal - until lockdown when I switched my normal full coverage foundation for a BB-Cream. Honestly - I'm over the feel of heavy foundations on my skin - so I was glad when I was sent this foundation to try out. My focus this year is more skincare and when colour cosmetics have those ...

  Hi guys! Happy Friday. How has your week been so far?  Christmas Time is fast approaching - and I know with Covid kids really got into games this year. I know I for once have been WAAAAAAYYYY more lenient about Alex enjoying playing games - and this year he really got into Fortnite and Minecraft - so I have a fully-fledged gamer in the house now.  One day I spotted the most gorgeous Fornite masks on Instagram from  Naughty Monster Design (that was WAY cheaper than any other ones I saw and decided to order them for Alex. He adored them and couldn't wait to wear them to school to show off. They are also super comfortable with the double strap that goes behind the head - something Alex prefers on school days. Alex was lucky enough to get sent some more masks as well as a gorgeous Fortnite Summer shirt - they do the most gorgeous hoodies as well. So today we will be sharing some photos of him rocking the masks and shirt.  Again, thanks so much  Naughty Monst...

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How has your week been ?? Over the weekend it was the annual Avon Breast Cancer Awareness Walk - this Year they were celebrating the 15th year of the walk - but because of Covid - this is the first year that the walk happened virtually - so that meant we could join in the fun . Usually, this event takes place yearly in Johannesburg - so it allowed so many more people to join in on the fun this year. Everyone could do it out and about in their own neighbourhood and support this cause. I do hope they will continue to offer a virtual offer next year too - as everyone all over SA could take part.   Every one  of the participants got a T-shirt to wear on the day as well as a gorgeous buff, a goodie bag and some fun products to use on the day. Some of the fun goodies in the goodie bag were sunscreen, hand sanitizer, protein bar and shake to use on the day. Alex and I opted for the 4km walk (there was an 8km option too ) and we had loads of fun wearing ...
