I have always been captivated by females, who's hair had more volume than my radio and more bounce than my step. It was a serious state of affairs, when your hair is fine and sleek and falls flat after 2 hours of an expensive professional salon blow dry. Such disappointment! I have tons of hair tools, from straighteners, to curling thongs and even old fashion Carmen curlers, but none could give me the effect I was looking for. I needed to add some spunk to my hair to mach the colors I have been experimenting with lately. I sourced out products online looking for the best for my hair type and the length and to achieve the desired look without any fuss. I had followed Pro Blo for a year, read reviews and watched tutorials to keep updated. I had followed YouTube videos on actual purchases to ensure the product was authentic. I was disappointed to find out they don't ship to South Africa and had to start looking at more sites for similar products. I stumbled ac...

After  the minimum test period of 2 weeks, I needed to give an update on the Dove duo, I received through Rubybox. It's not just about the brand and product, but it's about the experience and the effects of this duo. From my previous post, it was clear my hair is color treated and required additional TLC. to be honest I'm not one who constantly styles my hair or blow drys it, or curls it, I'm more of a wash and wear person. Seriously, it's not out of laziness, my hair does take time to dry but I also do not like heat styling it too often, as it causes a large amount of damage. (No one said color treatments don't damage hair, but, that's a debate for another post.) I prefer products that nourishes, doesn't strip my color, yet leaving my hair glossy and healthy. After of using the Dove shampoo and conditioner duo, for the 2 weeks , I have seen tremendous change in the texture, shine and strength of my hair. My hair, being color treated, and light...

I was amazed and excited to be chosen for the Dove Nutritive Solutions Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner Review, I receive my Dove Hamper, along with added extra goods, that I love, packaged in a cute organza bag.    I am a women, who juggles time, and has just enough time for a wash and wear. My hair is color treated and tends to dry out from over washing, at times it looks frail from tying it up most of the time.  The first wash was intriguing experience, the product is soft on my hair and detangles at the same time. After the first wash my hair was shiny, soft and looked a lot more vibrant. I do not heat style my hair often so will put it to the test in the next week.  I'm eager to see the continued progress of using the Intensive Repair Shampoo & Conditioner and will post updates. Thank you Dove and Rubybox. xoxo M!ss Wiss... #rubybox #DoveHairSA #ConfidentlyYou #DoveHairGameChanger

OMG, This was typed out and I forgot to post it. So, as promised I would give an update on my new take on life for 2018. One month down the line and I have no words to associate with this way of life. It had strong points, weak points and points of pure surprise. Being un-ruled by uniformity and time limits, self given freedom, made days go by with such bliss. I would go to work and eat at odd times, do work in my own time and realized I worked better working at my own pace with no background harping from management behind me. How did I get management to back off my case, I didn't do it intentionally, it was a random out burst of frustration. I was handed a project to handle with a 2 day tight time frame, and, me going through a phase of rebellious change was not going to keep to this time frame, unless I truly wanted to, which at that point I didn't want to. I had brainstormed ideas and methods of completion of the work and choosing the quickest way forward. It was ...

So here we again, at the beginning of a new year, k wait!  Second month of the new year, seems my timing is off.  We draw up all these resolutions and make a list of goals to achieve on a yearly, but do we achieve them or strive towards them or do we forget them along the way as the days pass us by? Hmm, a lot of us plan big in January, we make pro and con lists, we draw up lengthy lists of what we would like to achieve, or we add up the resolutions we failed to complete the previous year and think we could do them better this year.  So, who are we fooling? I have taken the this year with a twist rather than a stir. I took a personal decision to give up on resolutions and on drawing up yearly goals and pro and con lists as it makes no business sense to me. I will take a different approach to my year and this is my take on it: I'm not planning anything huge, I want this year to teach me a few new things. I refuse to be ruled by structure and time frames. I wan...

I finally received my international palettes, from Morphe, Kylie, Cleof and Colorpop. So excited I decided to create a look with the Kylie "Take me on vacation" Palette. This is the first of many to follow using the different palettes to create various looks and to test and review the palette.  The palette with swatches:  I was invited to a tutus and tiara bridal shower, perfect opportunity to do a dramatic eye on a subtle face and light contouring.

I always walked in and out or just pass the door of a Lush store 100 times, for the aroma of their products. Wish there was a way that i could post it up on my blog, but, there isn't you will have to make a visit to the store to understand the  magical spell of the fragrances that roam the Lush store. It is addictive and heavenly of pure indulgence, seems wrong to lust over a heavenly smell but, you just do with Lush. I am a fan of their Bath bombs and their shower jellies and have been using them for months on and off, as a personal treat to myself. Lately, Lush had launched the jelly masks and the hair treatments, the promos had me intrigued. I dragged my partner in crime to the store In Rosebank Mall, for a look around, tester and to purchase a few of these new items to put on trial. He isn't one for shopping and standing in stores for long periods of time, he's such an online shopper, but, online shopping doesn't give you the Lush lust unless you hit by the fra...
