Love me or leave me..

In the spirit of all things love & romance, I've rounded up my current favourites as subtle guidance to the misguided. To all the Valentine's grinches out there, this blog post is not for you.

There is far too little love in this world as it is, so when you have an opportunity to express yours, seize the moment and as cliche as this all sounds..Life is just too short for meaningless conversations about Valentine's Day being every day. The reality is that it's not, so show your appreciation with a lovely sentiment.

Love comes in many ways, for some it's Chanel and others maybe it's cupcakes. Either way whatever you decide to do, do so with the best intentions and LOVE. Spend it with an old  friend or someone close to you like your mum if you don't have a person of interest. I am happily staying indoors for now and attending two weddings over the weekend which is quite enough for me. Precious time spent with family and loved ones always tops my list any day.

I'm still going for GOLD with these 'finds' from Woolies stores.

Salento Bath & Body Treats R199. The french glass dome is a bonus and OH so pretty.

Super snazzy glitter travel mug R89.95 for days when you need to dash out first thing in the morning.

Tres chic gold quilted cosmetic bag R180 from Country Road just because I love it so much.

And because Valentines' calls for some Valentino love...From about R865 depending what size you go with. 

I'm sending this post into cyberspace, hoping someone is taking notes..you should do the same!

Happy LOVE day lovelies..

Some POPPY love..

So The Body Shop HQ seemed to be buzzing with excitement this week, as it launched the Limited Edition Smoky Poppy Range, amongst other things.

Infused with real hand-picked poppy flowers from the Ankara region in Turkey, this range is pure skin delight on another level. Delicious poppy seed filled exfoliators and massage oils promising skin highs and ultimate indulgence.

The smokingly hot and sensual campaign certainly had me sitting upright and breathless in anticipation, and what perfect timing I might add seeing that Valentine's is not too far off. I suggest you leave some serious nudge and wink hints if you want to experience this sensory overload.  

Adding to all the euphoria, Instablur managed to scoop the Woman & Home Beauty Award for best primer as well. NO surprise here!! 

So in the spirit of Valentine's and because I love sharing, I'm giving away some of this Body Shop LOVE. Get colour crushing with a Pink Poppy Shimmer Cube to dazzle your date night.
