Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How has your week been? My last two weeks have been crazy busy  - some days I don't know if I'm coming or going. Alex has school every second week where he actually goes back to school - giving me a little time to catch up on some work and blogging. I hate running on little sleep and lots of coffee ... so I'm trying to watch some series and do some knitting in my off time at home this week.  Today I'm sharing our June Kid's Book Club Books with you.   As I mentioned here many times before- Alex does read every night before bedtime - this is a strong rule we stick to every night. He loves reading and he often walks around with a fact book or Encyclopedia in his hand reading everyone facts about volcanoes, dinosaurs or the human body. I love that  Kids Book Club  send us a cute book, an activity something and a cute bag every month. April's theme is Easter super cute too. These bags are awesome if you go shopping to th...

Hi guys! Happy Friday!   How are you doing with the lock-down? I'm getting into the swing of things of working from home and going into the office. Alex has orientation day next week Monday and then he starts going to school every second week. I won't lie - my mommy heart has a few mixed feelings over it but I know he misses his friends and teachers.  Today I'm sharing the June Lingerie Letter I got. I stopped my subscription end of May due to work being so uncertain at the time - but my bestie secretly gifted me the June subscription. Thanks again so much Siobhan! You know I love the subscription and I'm honestly glad I have another month to add to my collection.  Honestly, there is nothing more empowering than gorgeous pretty underwear. But don't fret - I will be rejoining very soon and sharing my pairs with you guys.  So what is Lingerie Letters if you are new here? It's a Proudly South African based company that sends you a pretty pair of under...

Hi guys! Happy Friday. How has your week been? I tried to play catch up with life this week - but having a week off in school holidays wasn't the best idea ever. But it was fun none the less.

Hi guys ! Happy Wednesday !  Today I'm sharing the October Testbox with you guys.   This month was another amazing  TheTestBox  subscription box . This month's box included : TIGI Oatmeal and Honey Shampoo TIGI Oatmeal and Honey Conditioner TIGI Oatmeal and Honey Treatment First off ... This is the most delicious smelling shampoo EVER ! This smells like a delicious oatmeal cookie - YUM ! I'm not a big fan of smelling like a flower garden threw up on you (florally )  so this was right up my alley . The TIGI Oatmeal and Honey shampoo is designed for dry damaged hair , to  help smooth and  leave it soft and silky. Well my hair is more on the thick and oily type, this didn't make my hair any oilier ... Which is a good thing in my case. I won't say this is a SUPER moisturising shampoo either... But it's a good range non the less... And was fun to try out.  Personally ... I would recommend this range more for normal hair types ...
