what (exactly) makes you happy?
Happy windy Wednesday! Over at Heart and Design, author Amanda Talbot has an inkling to write another book. This one is about being happy and she wonders, ‘how can the definition be translated into our homes so we can create personal and public environments that can positively shift our moods and wellbeing?’ The story between […]
my first ever post
August 24, 2012
A little bit of nostalgia for Friday. This was actually my second ever post, but the first one was something boring along the lines of ‘hello world, please stay with me as I navigate this world of blogging and write nice things for you..’ Read my (hopefully more interesting) second ever post here. It’s an […]
five reasons to love soap
July 31, 2012
1. They make your clothes smell beautiful. Put your prettiest smelling, most treasured soaps (the ones too nice to unwrap) into your drawers and your clothes will always smell fresh. 2. They are practical. Many of us use liquid soaps in the shower these days – gels and creams – but there is nothing like […]
four things I love (winter bits & pieces)
July 13, 2012
Dear lovelies, It has been a long time between posts! I blame the baby – it really is true that there are not enough hours in the day the moment a little person comes along. Despite this, I have managed to find time to not only write a new post, but to write one about […]

thoughts on beauty, with baby
June 1, 2012
My regular readers will know that of late I have been rhapsodising about the virtues of bright lipstick and wake-up skin products and pops of bright blush on too-tired cheeks – these have been my vanity saviours since giving birth to my little girl in February. Yes having a baby has changed the way I […]
five reasons to love cleansing waters
May 22, 2012
1. They are easy: Keep a bottle beside your bed or your couch to cleanse away a long day without splashing about at the bathroom basin. 2. They smell nice: They do not all smell the same of course but my favourite cleansing waters all have a certain soothing delicateness about them. 3. They are […]
15 beauty tricks
May 8, 2012
A few little things that make my beauty routine a little more streamlined – and beautiful. 1. My Beauty Blender. I love this oddly cute hot pink makeup sponge: it makes applying foundation a flawless, super quick breeze. I dampen the sponge and first smear a little foundation onto my skin with fingers, as this allows […]
my pregnancy beauty stash
March 27, 2012
I am almost six weeks postpartum so I thought this would be a good time to reflect on the beauty treats that made my pregnancy experience that little bit more indulgent and beautiful. I managed to escape stretch marks (save a few tiny lines that appeared on the underside of my breasts once my milk […]
beauty favourites in 2011
January 30, 2012
Dear beauties, I am back after a sojourn in the world of pre-baby, which has included working from home to finish up some other work projects, feeling anxious about the state of the pantry/fridge/cupboards/house in general and watching The Australian Open accompanied by cheese and chocolate. Of course with around two weeks until my tiny […]
