{Weekend Wanderings} Teddy Bear Birthday...

I was invited to enjoy a lovely day out at Haartebeespoort Dam to celebrate my good friend's little one's first birthday! Kirsten created a Pinterest worthy Teddy Bear pic-nic party, so I took a few snaps for you to enjoy!

A brilliant day filled with cupcakes, cake pops, bubbles, teddies and more....

Motivational Monday....

Good Monday morning lovelies, I trust you had a brilliant weekend :)

It's no secret that there is a lot of sadness happening in our beautiful South Africa lately, and for many of us I'm sure we feel helpless with how we can help.

If you would like to help with donations or financially, please head over to Gift of the Givers (click here), but there is also a lot we can do within ourselves. A friendly hello to a stranger, a smile even some spare change can help turn someones day around, give them hope and show them that there are better days in life than all the sadness.

So I am sending out a mission to all of you, do something good for someone else today...and just see how your day changes :)

{Weekend Wanderings}...Avon April Breakfast

I was invited to attend an Avon breakfast by my friend Angel, so I could view what Avon had in store for their April collection.

I'm relatively new to the Avon scene, I've had a few eyeliners here and there and one or two of their eyeshadow duos, but no serious make up investment here. Needless to say, I was excited to see what Avon had to offer and to try out some of their products.

If you're not familiar with what an Avon meet up is like, they are all different as it depends solely on the agent who is selling. I have been to one viewing before this one, and wasn't very impressed as to how things were done...but I know Angel and how she works and was excited to see what she had in store. I wasn't disappointed :)

I have taken some shots for you to see how she did things, so you can get the over all feel of the day. As well as being able to get my grubby little paws on some pre-released April makeup :)

Motivational Monday...

Happy Monday! Did you have a glorious weekend? How crazy was the storm in Jozi yesterday, shoowee!

This week I feel the need to empower myself...life is handing some serious knocks lately, so I'm trying to keep my mind positive, part of my To Do List for 2015, which you can read here!

So these 3 gems will be rotating on my home screen this week, heres to kicking this weeks butt!

Until tomorrow....

{Face Care Friday} Freeman Cucumber Peel-Off Mask

IT'S FRIDAY!!!! Just a couple more hours and it will officially be the weekend and people can't judge you for wearing a onesie and not washing your hair...hooray!

Today I am going to introduce you to what is fast becoming a beauty favourite among many a beauty blogger...please join me in welcoming Freeman's Cucumber Peel - Off Mask!

This mask is so perfect after a long tiring week. It is formulated for normal to combination skin (combo skin right here!)

I was a little hesitate to try this mask, I have an extremely vivid nightmare of when I was a young warthog trying out another peeling mask, my skin ended up breaking out and going all blotchy and gross! But not with this one my friends!

There are a bunch of amazing ingredients jammed into this very generous sized tube (175ml). My favourite part of this mask is what happens once the mask has dried. No "rinse gently with warm water" none of that " scrub in circular motions " no my friends, this mask you get to PEEL OFF!!! Like peeling off a layer of your own skin, I know I know that sounds gross, but it's one of the most satisfying feelings E-VER! Besides the peeling feeling being awesome, it also pulls out any gross goodies that make comfy homes for themselves in your pores. Once all the little pore invaders have been removed, Aloe Vera and cucumber come in to soothe and moisturise your skin.

The mask has a clear gel consistency, so you may end up looking really creepy once it dries! Your probably also wondering about the smell, and I am happy to report it smells like a fresh summers morning...so cucumber and aloe vera :)

As if I could rave about this product more, it fits perfectly into my stingy little budget, with an awesome price tag of R 64, 95 at your nearest Dischem! I can't wait to try more of Freeman's masks, I have my eyes on their Pineapple Enzyme Mask and their Pink Grapefruit Exfoliating Scrub!

Have you tried any of Freeman's products? I'd love to hear your views!

Until next time...

Motivational Monday....On A Tuesday!

Happy Chooseday guys! So as yesterday was a lazy public holiday and the large majority of us were chilling on the couch not doing much, I thought this post would serve more motivational today :)

How was your Easter? Did you have a hunt? How many chocolate coma's did you have this weekend? Lets just say my diet took a turn for the worst :P

This past weekend I went to an album launch and I was so inspired by how hard these musicians had worked in such a short space of time, I thought I'd run with that for this weeks theme...hope you enjoy it!

Until next time...

{Weekend Wanderings} Easter Breakfast...

Happy Easter to all of you awesome humans :) I hope you are having the most amazing day with your friends and family! I have just finished an epic breakfast with my family over at my place this morning.

So as I have a few exciting things happening in the coming weeks, I thought I would start a new series called Weekend Wanderings...basically sharing my weekend adventures.

And what better weekend to start with than Easter! So sit back, grab your favourite Easter eggy and I hope you enjoy seeing what I got up to today!

Until next time...
