Warmer Spring Days, the Rugby World Cup... we are

Warmer Spring Days, the Rugby World Cup... we are officially opening hosting season again 😋
But things in South Africa are EXPENSIVE .. like honestly, just having friends over can rack up the bills.. so can we take a moment and remind ourselves of the humble sandwich? remember
Growing up my mum would often host people over with different types of sandwiches on offer, devilled eggs, cucumber and cream cheese... They may not be my taste but a grilled sriracha chicken is!
With @sunbakeza entertaining can be easy (and affordable) AND is loadshedding friendly 😃😃 How's that for bringing brightness and joy to your entertaining ?

What are some of your favourite sandwich combos? 🥪

Imagine the suprise when the girls came downstairs

Imagine the suprise when the girls came downstairs one Saturday morning to find their FAVOURITE "Gabby's Dollhouse" in real toy form in the lounge.
There were shrieks of delight and squeals of excitement as we unboxed this beautiful Dollhouse. Each with its own uniquely decorated room, that comes with accessories and as an added surprise, 2 additional full rooms that can be added into the house as well .

The girls have been playing with Gabby's Dollhouse everyday, so if you've been on the fence on getting on, this is your sign to do it!

Avaliable from leading retailers such as @toysrus_za @toyzone_za @toykingdomsouthafrica @hamleys_south_africa and online through @takealotcom .

A @disneyafrica series focused on an African Superhero girl? YES PLEASE 👏👏
We had the most beautiful morning watching the premiere episode of "Kiya & the Kimoja Heroes" at @joyjozi .
Kiya, also known as “Dance Ninja,” is a seven-year-old superhero in her utopian hometown Kimoja City, a dynamic community inspired by the traditions and cultures of Southern Africa, and has a special crystal headband with mystical energy that transforms her dance and martial arts talents into amazing Dance Ninja superpower.

We met 12 year old Dineo du Toit who voices Kiya as well as the rest of the crew ( I should have asked the producers if I could audition for a character voice 🤣🤣). Kiya & the Kimoja Heroes” will premiere on Disney Junior (DStv channel 309) from Monday, 4 September at 16:00 (CAT).

Thank you @disneyafrica for a gorgeous morning for the whole family. What a way to start Spring.

Spring is here !!! And with that comes a fresh new season, its time to declutter, get rid of things that don't serve us and look ahead to a beautiful new chapter.
Im focusing on ME - On thanking my body for all that its been through, on taking care of my body (gym, you'll be seeing me again) , and my mind.
@nativacomplexrange has a healthy mind range specifically formulated to help with cognitive function and helping you to reset that brain. Ive been using the "calm" and the "night" range to ensure that my body has all the essential vitamins it needs to support proper relaxation.

Do you set goals for new seasons?

GRWM as a "30-something" mum of 4. I've been usin

GRWM as a "30-something" mum of 4.
I've been using the @exuviancesa range for a little over a month now, and Im also 6 days post Retinol peel so I thought it was high time I showed you my morning routine. This is super quick as I normally get ready in just over 30 minutes (including showering) in the morning.

If I had to pick a favourite product (which I really don't want to because they are all 🔥🔥) , it would be a toss up between the Purifying Cleasing Gel and the bionic vespera serum - Im obsessed with them. The serum is super absorbent and not sticky or oily at all like some can be.

What you don't see in this routine is the Glycolic polish which is something I only use once a week.

Make up:
A mash up between @lorealparis @benefitsouthafrica
@essence_cosmetics and my fav @urbandecaycosmetics.

I get my @exuviancesa from @sorbetgroup.

And thats it ! Ps: my full routine from wash to finished make up takes 7 mins and 34 seconds 😅😅 my husband and I had a bet the other day so I know lol.
How long do you take to get ready in the am?
