A Complete Guide To Wedding Flowers
While doing research for my wedding flowers, I came across a number of articles and wedding websites that guide you in the process of deciding on your flowers. As amazing as all the information is, it becomes challenging when you have to try and remember all the useful information given in each article.

How I Decided on My Wedding Theme and Colours
My wedding theme and colours posed more of a challenge to me than I thought that they would. My decisions about other things related to my wedding have been so easy so far, and so getting to a point where I couldn’t get to an answer or a solution was very frustrating.

Funky Red Winger Eyeliner Using Kat Von’D Liquid Lipstick
I love rocking a funky winged eyeliner. Usually I add a little glitter but today I decided to change the colour completely. Now, I actually don't own a red eyeliner so I had to improvise. I have a ton of liquid lipsticks and since most of them dry matt why not put them on my eyes as liquid eyeliner?
It worked!

My Wedding Budget With Downloadable Template
I am a novice at this with this being my first wedding and all. So when I started planning and researching wedding traditions, of course I needed help with the budget.
How much do you realistically need to spend on your dress? A caterer? The photographer and videographer? I had no idea where to even start.

The Ultimate Wedding Planning Checklist
After reading probably over 100 different blogs on how to get started on the process of planning my own wedding, I decided to create my very own wedding checklist that combined all the information that I came across while doing my research. Today, I am sharing my wedding planning checklist with you.

Organic Cuticle Oil Life Hack
For the purpose of this hack, I left my hands to get all lizard-like for 7 days. This means that I didn’t apply any cream or cuticle oil to my hands for a whole week. I want to show the truly amazing effects of the coconut oil on my cuticles.

How To Get Yourself Out Of A Rut
I once read a blog where the author described a rut as a ‘productivity vacuum’, and I don’t think that I could have said it any better.
The end of the year is always a struggle for me. When things are meant to be winding down, they seem to kick up a notch and I am never really prepared. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you will have seen a recent post (well in the early weeks of December), where I missed uploading a video on my YouTube channel.

My December Beauty Empties
Over the years, I have gathered creams, soaps, body mists, and candles from friends and family. Body product hampers are the easiest gift when you are struggling to find a gift for someone.

We all get excited when there is an opportunity to meet a celebrity – especially when we don’t have to pay for it.
In 2011, thee Dr. 90210, Dr. Robert Rey came to South Africa for the launch of his skin range in Edgars stores. For the launch, he was doing a meet-and-greet at the Edgars store in Melrose Arch and I just had to be there.

Packing For a Month in Thailand
Dillon and I booked our trip to Thailand in March this year which means that I had 10 months to worry about what to take on my 4 week backpacking holiday through South East Asia.
I was stuck between practicality and functionality of the clothing I needed to take. I wanted to bring style into the clothes I took without looking like a complete impractical idiot – oh the woes of being a girl.
