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..

Beautiful drawer liners to layer intimates and any drawer with a soft delicate scent. This is a lovely sentiment and a pretty gift that will linger for a very long time.

Cosmetic bags are just as important as the treasures they hold. What better gift than a gorgeous LOVE holdall to carry all your holiday favourites.

Mommas WISH LIST..❤️

 

It's Mother's Day weekend and I'm leaving my notepad around the house just in case my bunnies are looking for some inspiration as to what I'm loving right now, besides them of course. 

I'm already feeling these snug grey knitted slipper booties from Woolworths to help me through the loooong cold winter evenings. 

I'm also loving this cute candy stripe pink make up tote from Country Road...supercutes!

Now the annual clockwork orchid delivery is always appreciated because it's my ultimate favourite, but some pink peonies would be a lovely change. I've seen them around a while back at Woolies so I'm not too sure given the season change. Woolworths stocks them in the bigger flagship stores so probably Cavendish or VA Waterfront would be a good start to finding them. 

And last but not least, some Charlotte Rhys Linen Water. Love the soft fragrance this fabulous mist leaves and it makes me dream about being some domestic goddess.

Love, appreciate and cherish your bunnies.

Happy Saturday loves..

All hands on deck..

GUILTY as charged...for not spending as much time looking after my hands as I should, and much to my own detriment. The constant washing of hands and being in the sun etc tends to leave my hands dry and wrinkly so much so that they look much older than me :)) 

I must admit I spend quality time cleaning and moisturizing my face but I don't always make the 'time' to slap on a little hand cream..tsk tsk!

I've started by investing in a few tubes of good quality hand cream, and also have been given some lovely gifts. They a great gift by the way, whether a birthday or just a sweet 'I'M THINKING OF YOU' kind of gift to a friend. I make a note of leaving them all around the house, in the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and my car so I don't have an excuse not to moisturize. It's a lovely indulgent spoil just before getting into bed and I'm crazy like that because I use it on my feet as well. Hand creams generally are more rich in texture so it's a wonderful treat for the twinkly toes after a long day.

There are so many available depending on how much you want to spend. From the basic department store brands to the more lux beauty brands and speciality body stores like the Crabtree and Evelyn, Jo Malone, The Body Shop and Lush who all stock some great products.

Do yourself a favour and don't neglect your hands, it's a dead giveaway if you trying to fool the age department. ; )

Happy Saturday lovelies..

Dreamy JT one love..

Another pop in at the JT one stand alone pop-up store at V & A today. We were in the neighbourhood and one can't not go inside. Q was in lingerie heaven as you can see. Worth the visit as its a better selection than what's inside the Woolies store I must say. Sad that they only have a two month stay, depending on sales I suppose. If you love pretty colours delicate fabrics, I mean who doesn't. .its well worth it and it doesn't break the bank either. A fun store with a youthful appeal and warm friendly staff made shopping such a pleasure.
Always JT love. .
