Festive Greetings ♥








Hello Beautiful People♥ 

I haven't blogged in a while because of exams , work  bleh. been quite a busy bee.

The Festive Season has finally arrived.. time to relax with friends , family , good food & wine :) .. & lets not forget the Christmas lights, decorating the Christmas tree, gift shopping , baking & just having a good time with people you love.

I've been putting off Christmas shopping as the shops have been so full , i did however go to the mall today to look for some pressies.


Xmas Gift Shopping 





I went in to LUSH and found some really great smelling products... & i fancy them lot because they all handmade .





A great gift idea is the Ballastics / Bath bombs .

Here are 2 of my favourite Ballastics.

LUSH Organic Homemade Face Masks





while im on the topic of face scrub let me tell you the benefits of scrubing.

Benefits: 
  • unclogs pores
  • removes rough, and uneven skin
  • removes dead skin cells
  • reveals a newer and younger looking skin
  • keeps skin clean
  • reduces acne breakouts
  • helps prevent wrinkle development
  • gives better presentation to creams, butters and tan product
How often should you scrub...
  • Weekly for hands and feet
  • every 2-3 weeks for legs and arms
  • about every second week for face - to keep the skin look fresh.
WARNING: DO NOT over exfoliate as it will leave you looking quite red and cause irritation.
Try and stay away for exfoliates which contain sythetic beads as they can be quite harmful to the skin.



On a Sadder note we bid farewell to Nelson Mandela ..
He was defiantly a inspiration and icon for many.He may be gone, but he will definitely not be forgotten.

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” - Nelson Mandela


I'm looking forward to go and watch Long Walk to Freedom in the Cinema.

Since it is the Christmas season & its all about giving if you have any toys /stuffed animals etc. that is in a good condition don't hesitate to donate them to a charity this Christmas to make a less fortunate child Christmas brighter :)

What im LOVING at the moment

I'm defiantly a coffee / caffeine addicted & can not function without my cuppa in the morning.
Cappuccino my favourite well not any more after i got introduced to a Red Cappuccino.
Words can not describe how good it is . Its like a actual cappuccino, but instead of  a shot of espresso its made with Rooibos. (making it caffeine and coffee free .. a healthy & taste amaze)
Its Rich & creamy. Can this beverage get any better?!!!?  it even contains antioxidants.
i F***king LOVE IT.

Some places that sells this :Woolworths, Mugg & Bean, Melissa, Motherland Coffee
