Being a female is hard work. In order to look mildly acceptable, we frequently have to endure having the hair all over our bodies ripped off. Although I know waxing is a better form of hair removal, I’ve been shaving my legs and underarms since high school- because I hate having to wait for the […]

Melrose Arch is one of my favourite places to hang out at, simply because one can be assured of a good meal at most of the restaurants there. Also, the ambiance at said restaurants is usually great. I’ve walked past Studio 9 many times, but have never been inside. I guess it is one of those […]

Like most girls, I love visiting spa’s and being pampered. I’ve been to most of the popular, well known spa’s, but I always like to visit new ones. Octavia’s is situated within Emperor’s Palace at the D’Oreale Grand Hotel and it’s trés fancy! I think part of what makes a spa great is its facilities- […]

I had no idea that my favourite local beauty brand, Charlotte Rhys, had a skincare range. I’ve been using Olay since I was about 12 and I haven’t changed since then. I just can’t justify spending 4x the price of Olay on skincare. I have been finding that my skin is a bit dry with Olay so […]

One of my favourite luxury beauty brands, Crabtree and Evelyn, have just launched lip butters and tints. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried from this brand so far (especially their body butters), so I was really excited when I read this.The lip butters come in 3 different variants: citron and honey, creme de menthe (which I assume is […]

Gary Rom Hairdressing is currently running a competition where they give some of their Facebook fans a chance to win a Style Makeover. I was lucky enough to win one of these, so earlier this week I headed over to Gary Rom in Brooklyn for my makeover. I found out that Gary Rom himself would […]

I’m not a big fan of facials. I never book “just” a facial at a spa, it’s always included in a package so I just do it for the sake of it. After, I don’t ever notice a difference in my skin. That said, my skin is pretty problem-free (thank goodness, one of the few […]

I went to Soho in Sandton City this weekend and had SUCH a luxurious mani/pedi. It was just what I needed to destress me from all the studying I’ve been doing. Soho has kindly offered to give away a Signature Mani/Pedi on this blog 🙂 Read on to find out what the winner will experience, as well as […]

If you follow my blog, you’ll know that I like going to spas. Alot. There’s something about it that just never gets old. Every girl loves entering a peaceful environment, wearing a gown and slippers, and having another person work on your muscles and tension to the point where you leave feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated.I […]

I only discovered Body Butter about a year ago. Previously I had been using Vaseline lotion. I just wasn’t prepared to spend more than R60 on a tub of cream that would be used up in a couple of weeks. But I heard too many people singing the praises of how awesome body butter is, so […]
