Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys! Happy Friday! How has your week been? Mine has been super crazy busy at work. With Winter *almost* over - it means summer clothes and if you are anything like me - you skipped one too many times applying body lotion this winter. Alex's skin has been drier than ever (because he reckoned once a week was more than enough ... bless his little heart. ) I also suffer from extremely dry knees and elbows so I always try and remember to moisturise but I even forgot most days this winter.  When I was browsing Dischem last month to buy vitamins, I saw this Mix an Anti-Dryness Body Lotion. The price was pretty reasonable and it was a huge container. So I decided to pick one up to try and see how it goes. I have tried the body lotion before but it's waaaaayyyy to thin to offer any hydration for me sadly.  We are about 3/4 through this container - and I can't tell you enough how much of a lifesaver this body cream has been. I use this on Alex face daily (and I have menti...

Hi guys! Happy Thursday! How has your week been so far ? Recently Avon came out with the Refreshing Aloe and Cucumber Body Lotion (I love buying these big bottles as I do use quite a lot of body lotion - I'm one of those weird people that don't like to have dry scaly skin . ) and just looking at the flamingo on the packaging I knew I had to try it out . Doesn't the packaging just scream summer ??? Now while I do have a few favorite body lotions in the rotation - the Avon big bottles are always a staple in my bathroom. The bottle has a pump which is perfect so no struggling with a squeeze bottle and squeezing out too much (which with a kid can sometimes turn into a disaster). The bottle always lasts a decent amount of time too - which is always a bonus. And yes - who doesn't love smelling like aloe and cucumber? It's such an amazingly fresh scent yet still versatile for the whole family. The body lotion isn't greasy and absorbs into the skin quite ea...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday. How has your week been ? Mine has been crazy busy - but luckily I have a few posts lined up for you guys this week.  Today I will be sharing Part 1 of my Lush Christmas goodies ( I placed an online order when they launched last week Thursday so those goodies I will be reviewing later this week ) Today the Lush Christmas range will be in store in South Africa - and I thought I'd share my thoughts on the goodies I was sent (Part 1) and do a second part once my order arrives. Again - online it sold out pretty quickly - but no fear Lushies - the online store will be restocked a few times leading up to Christmas. Which is always awesome news. And if you are lucky enough to be close to a Lush store and smell all the lovely Christmas goodies yourself you are in for a huge treat.  So let's jump into part 1 : Once Upon A Time Body Lotion R295 225g   Again - as I mentioned with the Halloween goodies - I'm a sucker for amazing Citrus scents - and t...

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was your weekend ??  I'm a little late this month to share my monthly favourites but rather late than forgetting another month to share what I love right ? July is usually our anual family week getaway - so my favourites will include some travel friendly options this month as I am showing a few mini's here . These are all products that I loved and couldn't stop reaching for in the month of July.  Hean Eyebrow Pomade - Ash Brown I have mentioned my love for the Benifit version quite a few times in monthly favourites but I was lucky enough to try out this lovely brow pomade from Hean cosmetics that I was really pretty excited to try it. And with good reason - as I mentioned before this is such an amazing brand. The brow pomade lasts forever on your brows - the colour (ash brown) suits me perfectly and it's pretty easy to work with. Not to creamy and not to stiff - the perfect mixture that you need in a brow product.  Locally Hean ...
