After a long day, my favourite thing to do when I get home, is have a bubble bath, get into my pyjamas, bring out my book and open up a slab of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bubbly … I don’t know why, but this makes me the happiest and the bubbliest (no pun intended) because you know…
Last week I attended the exciting relaunch of the Vivace Restaurant in the Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton. It was an afternoon filled with great company, exceptional food and delicious wine. Before I get started on the food though, I would like to tell you more about the hotel’s 13th floor … Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton’s…

This post is a little overdue as you’ve already probably seen Lindt’s new Hello Sundae Choco range in the shops, but I was waiting for the right moment to hit publish. I felt the right moment was in the dead of winter where we’re all shivering at our desks, craving summer sunshine and ice-cream sundae’s….
Hello and welcome to a new series on the blog called what’s new in the shops? I am going to try do a post like this once a month covering all the latest goodies I come across when I do my shopping as well as goodies that get sent to me. One of my favourite things…
My favourite meal of the day without a doubt is breakfast. I love that you can either have something sweet like flapjacks or something savoury like eggs and toast and no one will judge. I always say the earlier I go to sleep then the earlier I can wake up which means the sooner I…
I have been blogging for just over five years now. So in this time I have definitely learnt my fair share. My blog was first a beauty blog where I (tried to!) share all beauty related posts. After a while I realised writing on just beauty alone wasn’t enough because I wanted to write more!…
When I was in Cape Town in January of this year, for my 30th birthday, at the top of my to-do list, amongst other exciting things, was to eat at Chefs. After seeing all the absolutely delicious photos on social media and the hype around this restaurant, I was dying to visit! ABOUT CHEFS Chefs…
What is better than a bowl of hearty, wholesome homemade soup in winter? Yip, nothing! Some of my favourite soups include butternut soup, creamy tomato soup, chicken soup and of course minestrone soup.

My favourite way to start the day is by having a green smoothie in the morning. I just love how green smoothies are an easy way to make sure you are getting in all your nutritious fruits and vegetables as well as other healthy goodies you add to the mix. They’re also delicious and tasty….
I am sure you can agree with me here when I say this long weekend cannot come sooner! We have literally been counting down the days. All we want to do is relax, rest, read and basically do nothing for five whole days straight (yip, Monday included!). Our plans include drinking all the tea while…
