New in haircare to try out... I've already starte New in haircare to try out... I've already started using the @kerastase_official Bain Riche Shampoo, and I'm loving it. It is great for my sensitive scalp and dry ends. I love a Shampoo Bar, especially for travelling, so eager to try this from @clarinssouthafrica The @kmssouthafrica Moist Repair Therapy Treatment and @paulmitchell_za Marula Oil Rare Oil Treatment sound amazing for dry hair and now that winter is here I am sure I will get a lot of use out of them. The Rare Oil can also be used on skin, and my cuticles can definitely do with some. Do you switch up your haircare routine for winter?

I've been loving this range from @zarahome The s I've been loving this range from @zarahome The scent is very delicate, a blend of white wood, lemon zest, and magnolia. Zara diffusers are some of the best I have tried, and this one is no different. The scent fills the room beautifully. The Liquid Soap and Hand Cream are a but thinner than I expected, but they do the job and smell amazing. Have you tried any home fragrances from Zara Home?
Received a pack of goodies from @bio_sculpture_off Received a pack of goodies from @bio_sculpture_official last year, just in time for the Summer Holidays. I tried out the Summer Heel Home Care Pack before we went away, as I didn't have time to go for a pedicure. It is the perfect set for an at-home pedi and has everything you need. I'm looking forward to trying the other products, especially the pretty nail polish colours. *Gifted
Here's hoping 2023 is a better year. 2022 has be Here's hoping 2023 is a better year. 2022 has been tough, probably the hardest year of my life. It started off well, but on the 29th of May, my life changed. A big part of me, a part of my life, a part of my heart left this world and left me in pieces. I don't think I'll ever be the same, I don't think I'll ever feel whole again. But I am grateful for the life that I have, and all those around me, especially my husband, my family and Sugs.

I'm not usually a fan of eye creams, I've always f I'm not usually a fan of eye creams, I've always felt like a good serum, and moisturiser could do the job just as well. I adore the @clarinssouthafrica Double Serum. It makes my skin look plumper and more radiant, so I was keen to see what a Double Serum specifically developed for the eye area could do. The Double Serum Eye has been specifically developed to combat wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles, as well as protect and strengthen the delicate eye contour. My dark circles and puffiness have a life of their own recently, blame it on the lack of sleep, stress, grief, all of the above. After using this, the area around my eyes looked hydrated and plumped, my concealer creased less, and the overall radiance improved. I like that this can be used on the eyelids too, I found the scent very calming as I do with most @clarinsofficial products. *Gifted

What's on your #blackfriday wishlist? @sundayrile What's on your #blackfriday wishlist? @sundayriley is a skincare brand I really enjoy. UFO is amazing for when my skin feels clogged. I've also been enjoying the CEO Cream and Face Oil, both are hydrating and brightening. The Light Hearted SPF feels lovely on the skin, I just wish it had a higher SPF. I haven't used the 5 Stars Eye Serum enough yet, but it hydrates and smoothes the eye area. I usually stock up on Sunday Riley and other international brands from @miloandmo and @shopbloominghayaa
