Blue Poinsettia

Hello Beauties,

I'm sure that most of us always wanted to know what do teacher's like to receive for gifts or what do they keep in their drawers?  I remember when i was young that i always want to see what do they keep in their drawers and why could teachers have drawers and we didn't have and drawers in our desk at all! The only two items that was always in the desk at school was the bible and the dictionary.

The school are on Holidays and the kids are enjoying themselves and teachers finally have a well deserved rest.  If you know a teacher show them some support during the year even if it's just a note to tell them what they mean to your child.  believe me teacher love to receive notes like these and if you want to make them feel extra special give them a chocolate or some cookies that you have made even the more if your child have helped you with it!

I have decided to chat to a fellow teacher and she have agreed to spill the beans with me!  Today i chat with Kirsty Hoggons.

How are you doing today?  Well, i can see that most people already start to enjoy the Holiday, since the school have closed last Wednesday and some will start their Holiday on the 15 December.  I hope that you will have a fantastic time!

A while ago i have visit my nearest Clicks store and i have seen the eye pads and i just knew i had to purchase these for me, since i end up with tired eyes most of the time, since i spend most nights behind the computer.

Hello Beauties, 

How are you all doing today?  I can hardly believe that it's almost December!? I'm not sure about you, but here in the shops that i go to i have seen Christmas trimming a long time ago, but hardly any Christmas songs that are playing!  Normally you would have heard some already!  

Anyway recently i have been send some Tempo tissues from Rubybox to review.  I was happy about it, since i do experience hay-fever normally it's just that i should avoid grass that are quit long, so it was not much of a problem for me, but this year all of a sudden i couldn't stand flowers at all!  Most people do know that i love to take pictures of flowers, since i partake in photo competitions! So these have really came in handy and i was eager to test them out. 

When i have heard the word Tempo immediately i thought about music. I have played music in High School. I've played the Recorder (Treble Clef)  and later on i have also learned to play the Piano. The word Tempo in music means that Tempo can be defined as the pace or speed at which a section of music is played.

Good Morning!

I have received these wonderful body washes from Rubybox.  I don't know about you, but i really adore body washes much more than bar soaps!  So when i have received these two body washes i was very happy.  I'm very familiar with the Sheer Twilight body wash, since i have used it last year, but the Soft Touch one have i not tried yet.

Good Morning Beauties,

How are you all feeling?  At the moment while i'm sitting here i have a stiff neck and shoulder and it's definitely uncomfortable and not to mention at some stages i feel a bit of pain in my neck and it's all due to the fact that my Aunt was driving with us the other day and she had the window of the car all the way down! Grr..i mean it wasn't even that hot! Oh well enough about that...

Earlier this month i was send a lovely gift from Oh So Heavenly and they wanted to know what i think of the newest flavour in their Lip-balm range called "Cherry On Top"

Dear Santa!

essence has received all Christmas wish lists and Santa’s hardworking elves are doing everything in their power to prepare the perfect surprise.  The result: the new trend edition “the little x-mas factory”, which will be available in stores from November to December 2016 to make all your beauty dreams come true.  Classical colors like gold or pine green are combined with cool pink.

Hallo Beauties!

How are you guys doing this morning!? I hope you are doing well! I'm super happy to share with you my latest nail polishes that I've recently purchased from Clicks. Some of you may have seen all the "hype" that was happening on Twitter regarding Sorbet latest ranges that they have launched recently.

Well, i have purchased six beautiful nail polish colours from the range called Tropical Splash and it's just the perfect timing for us that are going to enjoy the Summer, since these colours are to die for! I mean some of them just look so gorgeous in the sun!!

Word on the street has it that leading beauty salon group, Sorbet, is on the precipice of unveiling the freshest splashes of colour that South African Summers have ever seen. Jade Kirkel, Marketing Manager of Sorbet Group says: it’s the next best thing this side of the cosmetics counter and its set to be bigger, bolder and more ‘wow’ than a Kardashian scandal

 Hallo beauties,

So how was your weekend!? For a changed i could sleep a little late and then I've been doing all sorts of stuff and i was happy and contend for a change - sometimes life can give us a couple of bumpy roads that we have to tackle!

Friday i have promised you on my previous post that i would show you how i have done my Leopard print nail art - step by step.  I have always seen these nail art looks and i wanted to do it for some while myself and with Labello's Blackberry Shine Lip Balm that have hit South Africa it was just the prefect timing to do a Leopard print for my nails.

I have decided do use this nail art design, since we have Leopards in South Africa - Kruger National Park.

Hello Beauties,

 How are you all doing today!? I'm mostly glad that today wasn't too bad, but i did had an very early start this morning! It's the first week of November..can you believe it?

Today on my blog i'm going to tell you more about  Labello Blackberry Shine Lip Balm that I have received earlier from Rubybox. You've probably seen the preview already on my Facebook page or on Instagram recently. If your not on any of these platforms your most welcome to join me there!

Hallo Beauties,

How are you doing today?  I can finally say that my hay-fever are under control at last! In the beginning it was terrible!  Today It's Halloween - the day of the dead.  So I'm going to share my last Halloween mani with you.

Hello Beauties,

Another week almost gone and it's leading up to Halloween not that we as South African actually celebrate these days.  Our church actually reminds us every year not to take part in any Halloween activities. But i like to do some nail art that reflects Halloween.

I was inspired this time by a video that i've seen on YouTube from Hayls World.  If you want to see how easy it actually is to recreated this look you can watch it here.

Good Morning, Beauties!

How are you doing today? I'm very happy today, since the sun are shining today in Cape Town and there are nothing better than to feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and to have a lovely bath in the evening with Woolworths Simply Floral Shower Gel.

Hello Beauties,

Hallo Beauties,

Today I'm doing a challenge from United in Pink it's inspired by Helene Johansson.  we are doing a manicure to bring more awareness to Breast Cancer Awareness. 

Hallo Beauties,

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend and that your Monday wasn't too crazy, since the schools started today to everything is back to normal for most people.

Today i'm going to inform you of the products that i really liked about and they are all from Oh So Heavenly! To my overseas readers you won't be able to get any of these products, since it's an South African brand that manufactures exclusively for Clicks.

Hallo beauties,

I hope that all of you are fine and well!  I was so happy that we have some sun, but know it's looking as if we are moving back to colder weather! I'm a woman that enjoy's Autumn and Spring seasons, but hey i think i'll rather take the colder days before the real HOT Cape town weather will be here, then it would feel like i want to take a bath in cold water and yes i have done it years ago, but eish not so ayoba, especially when you bum hit the bath tub!

In September I've attended my first bloggers meetup and in the goody bag i had received the Shimmy Shimmy bar and on Sunday i decided that was the night that i want to pamper myself a little.

Hello beauties,

How are you all doing? It's almost the weekend and time to just relax and to forget about the week!

I couldn't believe that the year are almost over - just 3 more months? Another shocker for me was that i only took part in the HPB Group challenge last year!  Their was always something that needed more attention that i just could not take part in it. I hope that i will be able to complete this challenge!

The general theme for this post are "Glitter topper" and i was like yeah!  Just perfect for me, since i have many glitter toppers and we are headed towards Summer.

Hello Beauties,

How are you all doing?  I'm just happy today that we had some wonderful weather for a change in the Mother City and i think it wont be to long anymore then it's Summer time!

With that that being said, it means wonderful days at the beach...

Hello Beauties,

How are all of you doing today?  I hope that all of you guys are all cozy and warm, here in South Africa, Cape Town it's cold and we also had rain earlier and just to think that earlier this month we had lovely sunny weather, since it should be getting hotter not colder!

My prompt for today are sharing the thing that i love the most doing!  I'm sure that most could suggest that it could relate to taking pictures...

Hello beauties,

Today are just the perfect day to share my favourite recipe with you, since it's Wednesday and it's nearly Summer so why not enjoy this wonderful Marshmallow dessert today or during the weekend if you haven't have the ingredients at home.

Good Morning Beauties,

Today I'm going to tell who my favourite musician are and as you can see it's Josh Groban.  He came under my radar with the song called "You Raise Me Up"

Good Morning Beauties,

i don't know who gave this topic for today's challenge, but i think that it's great, that it made to the list!  At first when i've noticed this topic - i thought to myself "Mmm? What am i going to write about!?" The reason for my first response are that i felt unappreciated. I work for a place that would say that they value what i do, but sadly it doesn't reflect in my bank balance at all! Secondly most of my days i sit on my bum and work most of the time on my Laptop. I didn't feel that i have any reason or reasons to be thankful for anything in my entire life.

Then I remember that i was so sick recently twice this month to be honest and now that i feel much better that i can do the things before i felt ill, that is a reason alone to be grateful, but that's not what i want to tell you about, what i'm really thankful for.

Hello Beauties,

I'm so sorry that i was MIA for quite a while, but everything was just so hectic at the work, i had to do quite a lot of marketing for an event and then i also got sick.  So i didn't had much energy to sit and do an actual post, but hopefully my levels will be good to go and with Summer lurking around the corner i'm sure that you will see a lot of me in the blogosphere!

 I'm part of the Girl Gang group on Twitter and Aimee from Everyday Aimee , started this wonderful challenge for us. This challenge will last for the whole month and, since i've joined a bit late in the challenge i'll write till October, hence this challenge are 30 days long.

Hello beauties,

It's officially Spring, but yet i feel some chilly nights and tomorrow seems like it's going to be cold! To those of you that follow me on Instagram would have noticed that i'm super glad that hopefully we will have our very own Nectarines - can't wait!

On Saturday I went to the #PrettyPopUp event that Roxy have held at The Creamery in Newlands.

Hello Beauties, 

Hello Beauties,

I've just checked my e-mails and guess what newsletter did i receive, but better what was inside?

Hello Beauties!

How are you all doing? I sincerely hope that each and every one of you had a fantastic long weekend and today it's yet the start of another weekend! I must admit this week really went so fast! I know i had a wonderful weekend that included the bloggers meetup that we had on Saturday. I had the opportunity to being pampered with a neck massage from Rain. I can still feel the effect of it!

Before the event I've treated myself with a lovely bath with ENJOY they are a South African brand that are relatively new, but their products are great!  The moment i laid my eyes on this range from the brand i knew i must visit Clicks!

Have you ever wonder what do some bloggers do over weekends?  Wel, let me tell you.  Over 40+ Cape Town based bloggers have held a CTMeetUp at CHINOS COFFEE HOUSE in Kenilworth. The organizer of this CTMeetup was organized by Cindy from 3kids2dogs1oldhouse

Hello Beauties,

Tomorrow are the beginning of August; okay to be honest I'm glad for two reasons.  Firstly that Spring / Summer are closer to the Mother City of Cape Town and lastly for the bloggers MeetUp that are going to happen on Saturday, 6 August 2016 @ 14:00.  I will definitly be doing a blog post about the event, it would also be my first bloggers MeetUp!

Hello Beauties,

There's plenty of other reason i was also happy!  For those that follow me on facebook or Twitter would know what have caused that extra smile on my face today! ☺

Earlier this year essence have bought out some new lipbalms and i thought to myself should i purchase one or not?

Hallo beauties,

Since we all know how cold this season are and it's going to much more colder essence have a new limited edition that are going to be released soon and i simply can't wait for them to hit the stores!! ☺

Hello Beauties,

Good Morning Beauties,

Hello Beauties,
Isn't it a lovely day when the sun are shining? During winter time i appreciated the sun alot more, since i'm not a fan of te cold or should i rather say the icy cold side of Winter!  Today was such a lovely day, not even the house was cold! How have you spend the warmer day's during the Winter season?  I like to spens in the by going outdoors and soak some Vit D in...

Some while ago, when we went shopping we had to purchase a new Air fresher for the toilet.  I was looking for something different this time, since my mother always picks lavender!  Nothing wrong with the flavour, is just that every scent from the polish, the fabric softner and toilet spray have always been Lavender!

This time, i've picked the....

Hello beauties,

Hallo Beauties,
I've just had a long and i mean a realy long bath relaxing bath time! I really like to enjoy a bath time and i've decided that tonight are the night i'm going to enjoy this bath bomb which I purchased last year via a voucher that I've received.

Good Morning Beauties,

I won't mention anymore it's cold, since we all know that by now, but what are you doing to stay warm, that's the question!? It's only the begining of Winter for us here in South Africa and I'm already wishing that Summer would return asap!  It's also school holiday and i feel so sorry for many of you that have children to keep them entertained, since they are getting bored very quickly, especially if they like the outdoors...

As I've mentioned abouve it's winter we tend to neglect to look after our hands during this time of the year the most! Why? The andwer are simply it's just to cold to even think of applying a cold lotion onto our hands, so we tend to postpone it to the warmer seasons of the year.  I know I'm do it myself, but some while ago i've read a post on Sorbet Moisture Infusing Gloves and i want to share with you what i feel about this product.

Hallo Beauties,

I guess that we all just want to spend time indoors either by watching movies whilee e are laying in our beds and sipping on our favourite cup of Hot Chocolate or some fish and chips from your locaal take away!

I've got a lovely surprise instore for you.  Ralo have these amazing lipglosses that have been released earlier this year and they also added another two to this collection.  I must say, the following about this range there's one for every person on the market.

Good Morning beauties,

I hope that all of enjoyed the weekend with some comfort food and a cup of your favourite drink to enjoy this icy cold weather we are having in Cape Town!
