On the 8th of June, I won tickets to Cosmopolitan & Forever New’s VIP Shopping Experience in Canal Walk and throughout that evening, they took us through some of the major trends for this season. Two of them that really got me good were bodysuits and the colour maroon (it probably had to do with Marsala being Pantone’s Colour Of The Year last year ?). View Post
Hello everyone! So about a month ago, I made an announcement basically everywhere except on my actual blog that I’m one of the new essence cosmetics ambassadors for 2016! It’s truly an honour to be recognised by a brand I’ve been using for years. What this means is that I’m going to be one of the vessels giving you all the low-down on the newest essence products, with maybe a competition or two in the future.

Hello friends! So today I’m doing something that’s been an ongoing endeavour of mine, which is a master post of black Youtubers both locally and abroad (and a list of brands that cater to darker skinned women) because I – and I’m sure you, too – have noticed that it’s always quite a mission to find them. It’s not that they’re not there or that they’re not good – we just don’t have the exposure. So me and my little platform are gonna try and help you out.
I won’t even lie, my first winter in Cape Town last year caught me off guard. I was heavily underprepared – you see, in Joburg, when it’s cold, it’s just cold. But in Cape Town, when it’s cold, it’s cold and wet and miserable. I guess that’s why UCT has that (un)official rule that if the mist is so bad that you can’t see the campus on the mountain, it’s no longer there and school is cancelled.
