Review : Nivea Sun UV Face Anti Age and Anti Pigments Q10+ SPF50

 Hi Beauties ,

Hot days are here and what better way to better protect yourself from the sun is a good Sunblock especially for the face. Today I will be sharing a little review on the Nivea Sun UV Face Anti Age and Anti Pigments Q10+ SPF50 

I'm currently on the hunt to find the perfect sunscreen especially for my face. I was gifted this from a friend and I was like why not give it a try. 

more about the Nivea Sun UV Face Anti Age and Anti Pigments Q10+ SPF50

• Eye friendly Formula 
• Immediate UVA/UVB protection
• Fights appearance of sun induced fine lines , wrinkles and pigment slots

I've been using it over a month now and what I love about this sunscreen is that it's ideal for everyday use , the texture of the sunblock is super smooth and does not have a stickiness like some other sunblock. It also don't give off the white look after applying. I have combination skin / sometimes sensitive but didn't get any reaction which is great. I also love that it does  not give of a ton of shine after applying and a more moisturized look. They say even though its cloudy we should still wear sunblock and I'm really getting myself use to that.   

What sunscreen are you currently using and what do you love about it ?

Review : NIVEA Body Oil in Lotion Range - Cherry Blossom and Jojoba Oil

 Hi Beauties ,

Hope all is well on this chilly day. I have a new review for you guys - The NIVEA Body Oil in lotion Cherry Blossom and Jojoba oil . 

Perfect for winter discover Nivea's new Body oil in lotion where oils meet moisturizing lotion/cream. They come in three scents Rich Vanilla , Cherry Blossom or Orange Blossom.

I was excited to receive a lotion to test and more excited when I opened the package only to find out its the Cherry Blossom and Jojoba Oil lotion.

First Impressions - The scent was a winner from the first whiff and I was ever ready to apply it on immediately.   

The lotion is targeted for those with Normal to Dry Skin leaving your skin feeling smooth and smelling fresh with its delicate fragrance. 

What I've also noticed is that once the lotion is applied it does not leave a stickiness feeling like some Nivea lotions and can say that the oil in lotion does make it different when in contact on the skin.

Why you should give the NIVEA Body Oil in Lotion a try:

• Moisturizing
• Awaken your senses
• No stickiness

#GIFTED

Take the oil in lotion quiz and see which one is perfect for you http://quiz.r2digital.co.za/oilinlotionquiz/

You can find it at Clicks, Dis-Chem , Takealot , Woolworths Retails for about R58

Have a good rest of the week.

Review : The Body Shop - British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask

Hi Beauties ,

Today on the blog I have a awesome review The Body Shop - British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask 

 Everyone loves a good self pamper and it should include a good mask do you agree ? 

I loved the scent immediately , you can literally smell the rose extracts as you open the jar. What I also noticed that was different about this particular mask that you could see that is was infused with real rose petals. 

How to use : Once your face is fully cleansed , apply the mask on your face and keep on for about 5- min as stated then rinse with lukewarm water. You can keep on for longer , I did and had no side effects such as a rash or burning sensation (this is really depending on your skin type).

This mask for me was very different to the ones I usually use and more like a gel type (reminds me a bit of the drops of youth - sleeping mask ) and it felt very light on the when applied which I loved. My face looked fresh once I was done , I really need to get me more of the British Rose Range.

I also think this mask is perfect to apply before you on your way out it gives it enough time to give your skin that fresh dewy look in a few minutes.

Why you should give the British Rose Mask a try : 

• Moisturizes Skin
• Soothes and tone skin 
• Refreshing gel texture 
• 100% vegan

I rate this 5/5

You can purchase online https://www.thebodyshop.co.za/ for R390 

It might be a bit pricy for some but if you have extra to splurge its definitely worth it. Also go in store and ask for a sample if you not sure its for your skin type.  

If you have used the mask please leave a comment below I would love to hear your thoughts.

Stay Fabulous

REVIEW : Fujifilm INSTAX SQUARE SQ1

Hi Lovelies ,

I have a very exciting review post to share with you guys , I will be reviewing something very different to beauty products but its something that I've used very much these past few years to capture special moments in my life and also think it is rather fitting with my content  - its the FUIFILM INSTAX SQUARE SQ1. 

Instax was very kind to send over their Instax camera to test and review and I could not resist and had to take the opportunity. What made me more excited is that the prints are square format (photo picture size 62 x 62 mm). I do own 2 Instax cameras but the print is more smaller and the cameras are different to the SQ1 so I was very keen to see what the Instax SQ1 was all about.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS :

WOW , the colour was absolutely lovely, the colour I received was Terracotta Orange super beautiful and different to the mundane colours you normally see. I also loved the shape I think its very modern looking to fit this day and age.

I received the camera at the perfect moment as my family and I were heading on a mini staycation. 

TRYING OUT THE SQ1 : 

I loved the easy grip when holding , so for the selfie lovers this one is great for you(it has a selfie mirror, making it easier for you to see before capturing your image) , you can capture all the selfie moments without an hassle. I also feel that it captures great in light and dark settings I took a picture of sunrise and sunset and you could see the different hues of colour in the images nicely, no need to worry about changing any settings.

FINAL THOUGHTS :

I honestly loved the experience with the camera , I loved the fact that you can fit more people/surroundings in the square format . It also really captures your surroundings more clearer and offer those that do not like complication tech it has a simple operation which is very straight forward to use "ON" and "Selfie" mode .  If I should be by the means this would be one I would like to purchase. The only thing that I would have loved for the SQ1 is that it would have been awesome if it had self timer like my Instax Mini 70 , but other than that the SQ1 is super simple and effortless , straight forward to use and the image/film quality is great ! 

KEY FEATURES

• Selfie Mode
• Auto Exposure
• Simple Operation

Retail Price in South Africa +/- R1999

Colours Available in the SQ1

If you have read this post and I convinced you to buy your own Instax SQ1 please tag me on instagram @nabeelahisaacs as well as @instaxsa and #InfluencedByTheFabDiary #FindsByTFD , or thanks for the recommendation I would really appreciate it.

Disclaimer: Instax SQ1 was sent over to TEST and REVIEW and not to keep but I got to keep all the instax photos.

March '21 - Catch Up

 Hi Fellow Beauties,

Firstly HOW ARE YOU ?? I haven't been here in ages and I really cannot believe how quickly the year is going by , it's already March and almost over how even?! 

I'm sure most of you are exhausted from 2020- coronavirus is really taking a toll on everyone and businesses. I know I am exhausted and to be honest I'm just taking the days as it come in 2021 - not over thinking , no structured plans , goals because mental health is important at this stage.

The year already did not start off well for myself as I lost my Grandpa whom I was very very close to. It was unexpected and never did myself or any of my family see it coming , it literally happened in a blink of an eye a week to be exact! Aaah I miss him so much!

And because its already March ... it does not make it any easier to think of what you going to do because the days are moving so fast you cannot even gather your thoughts especially during this new normal which is kind of draining . As much as I want to be goal driven or plan things , I just don't want to set an goal/ expectation and what makes me more happy is take it day by day. 

To those who have been reading my blog and those that do return I just want to say thank you for reading and supporting my blog (although I'm not a consistent as I want to be , I do love coming back here and sharing what I want to share and I feel proud of my little space). To those that are NEW here HELLO and I hope you love my content and hope this is a space you love where you will find mostly Fashion , Beauty and Lifestyle posts but also some adventure and some random posts here and there.

If you often read my blog comment what you love about it.

Anyway just thought I would give you a little catch up session what I'm currently feeling and ya I hope whoever comes across this post I hope you having a fabulous 2021 so far, If you not that is also ohkay just find something cool to distract yourself and you will be fine trust me. 

To those who have lost a loved one , I hope you find comfort in your hearts. Remember to stay safe wear your masks and sanitize !

but lastly I hope you all ohkay 😊 please comment below how you feeling at the moment. 

Stay Fabulous

PEACE OUT 2020

Hi All 

As 2020 comes to a close I'm sure that this year is definitely one for the books, a year we will never forget, a year of challenges and a year of adapting to a NEW way of life our NEW NORMAL and trying to make it work.

Secondly I would love to give my condolences to all that have lost loved ones due to this deadly Coronavirus(COVID-19) and all I can wish for you is that as the days go on I hope your hearts ease from the pain and may it only get easier as time goes on. To those who cannot even see their loved ones I hope you get to see them soon.

Applause to all those that  were strong enough to survive this year - starting new businesses, reaching your goals and managing to make ends meet successfully and a bigger applause to those who smiled through the challenges , those who hustled 10 times more and never gave up to survive and also to those who lost their jobs just know I am praying for you to find light at the end of the tunnel, it must be tough but I know you will get through this (I mean look you made it to the end of 2020) .

A year we all thought it was 'OUR YEAR' only to find out it was a year of the unexpected , the year a frikken virus took over the world , a year we we will truly never ever forget.

Personally I'm thankful for being surrounded by my loved ones and having my health at the moment and nothing else matters , no goals, career wise , business wise and just enjoying taking everyday as it comes and cherishing the moments of time spent together.

Please Remember to keep safe , sanitize and wear your mask !

And a huge shoutout to all those on the frontlines , risking your lives everyday may you all be blessed and sending all the strength your way. You are the hero's.

Peace out to 2020, we surely will remember you.

Review : Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Body Cream

 Hi Beauties ,

#TradeExchange

I was sent over a a Body Cream from Rubybox and Eucerin to Test and Review and I was super excited to be part of the test and review group.

I've been using the Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Body Cream for a couple of months now and I must say I am very happy with it, before I give my final thoughts here is a little more info on the Eucerin Body Cream :

• Fragrance Free
• For those who suffer from dry , rough skin or those that suffer with psoriasis 
• Gives immediate relief 

for my OG readers you know that I suffer from psoriasis / eczema from time to time and I have been sharing some products that work for me so I was very excited.

I've never used Eucerin products fully before beside using my moms Sunblock mildly and I loved it because I only heard/read great things from the brand. 

When applying the body cream after first application I can definitely say it is smooth and super hydrating.

The area I put it to test was behind my ears and legs as I have flaky skin because currently that is the area suffering the most at the moment. After a few applications I can say that it does make a difference and the flakiness have not been that much since using the Eucerin Repair Cream. So all in all its a very moisturizing cream and the are will stay hydrated for a period of time and great if you have DRY SKIN.

I would definitely use this product again for certain parts of my body it helps a lot where it is dry.

I would suggest that you should not use it on any broken skin as it will burn and not on your face if you have super sensitive skin , because sometimes it does leave a burning sensation once applied.

Let me know if you have used the Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Body Cream and how you found it?   

Retails for R249.99

Have a lovely weekend.

Stay Fabulous

Review : Himalaya Blackhead Clearing Walnut Scrub

Hi Lovelies

I'm back with a review , a new exfoliator I've been trying out for some time now - Blackhead Clearing Walnut Scrub by Himalaya - is enriched with walnut granules and natural salicylic acid.

I don't think I put any products of Himalaya before on the blog but I have been using some during the years and I must say I am a fan of the brand.

If there is one thing I love reviewing its exfoliators/scrubs and you must know that by now. To me this exfoliator was different to the one I previously used before, it was the African Extracts exfoliator (which I love) but that was more gel like.

When I saw the the word blackhead I took it because my nose area has too many blackheads for my liking and I know many of you have blackheads too,  and I wanted to try another brand and introduce it to you especially if it's affordable and worth it.

Why give this product a try:

• Removes blackheads
• Gives your face a refreshing look 
• Has natural Salicylic acid which loosens dead skin cells 
• Unclogs pores
• Help stimulate skin renewal 

I mainly bought this scrub for my nose and chin area as I find that those areas you can visibly see my black/white heads and after using it those areas it looked much cleaner and smoother. I will be purchasing this product again I give it a solid 5/5

You can purchase the Himalaya Walnut Scrub at http://www.himalayaherbals.co.za .

COVID-19 Lockdown

Hi Everyone 

Soo we on day 9/21 of lockdown here in South Africa. It seems like 2020 already seems to be at a standstill and I don't think that anybody expected this Coronavirus to take over life and nevertheless the whole world! It's crazy to think that everybody is experiencing this together and not just a part of the world.

Here in South Africa we are super lucky that its not as bad as in other countries such as Italy or Spain where death is about 900 daily or in the US where the number of cases are growing rapidly daily. If you reading this from another country where it is extreme I hope you safe and taking all the necessary precautions, practicing good social distance or basically for your own good STAYING at HOME.

I know this might be a very very hard time for some as you  had things planned, exciting things happening for your business, at work and especially those that is always on the goo to make things happen BUT you  know what it's maybe the chance to slow down a bit.. Do something you always pushed aside like :

• reading your books
• spending time with your kids/spouse/family
• practice that dish you always wanted to try 
• or maybe just to relax and reflect   

To recover from this pandemic is going to be a challenge for everyone and think that this is going to be the NEW NORMAL for a very long time, hopefully not god willing but just sending some love to the small businesses going through this difficult time and to those suffering some financial strain or any situation that is tough that I have not mention but WE CAN DO THIS ! and we WILL get through this together as long as we listening and doing our part this will soon blow over.  

Please comment(I would appreciate it) below where in the world you are and is your country currently on lockdown? What are you doing with your extra free time and what is the first thing you dreaming of doing when this is all over , I would love to know.

Meanwhile please stay safe everyone during this crazy time.

Hi ,

I hope all is well firstly and if I have some new people that came across my blog WELCOME and I hope you like this little space of mine.

For some these two months have been a drag for others it went too quick. Soo because I'm not one for resolutions as mentioned before is because I feel I cannot stick to it and feel a huge disappointment when looking back BUT what I do like to do is have a diary(I've been doing since forever) which keeps me focused on my day to day TO DO's even if its me writing down drink a glass of water , it makes me feel some sort of accomplishment - silly I know but it makes me feel great! , even little reminders like check emails - it keeps me focused and makes me feel that I have some organisation in my life.

I don't have much exciting to say but I hope my little tip on what helps me get a bit focused will help you too. Also here is my post from last year My Wish For You that might give you ideas to feel a bit motivated if you not.

I just thought I would pop in to say HI and hope the first two Months of 2020 went well for you, if not that's ohkay...I know things will get better for you 😊

Please comment below on how your 2020 is going thus far what is your expectations , do you follow resolutions or have you given up already ? and also are you a person that love to have a diary, bullet journal or note book to keep you on track I would love to know.

Adventuring in my Sapmoks

Hi , its been a minute and I missed the feeling of typing out a blog post.

 I'm back introducing yet another cool local brand that was kind enough to be on board to partner with me in exchange to bring you a fab content and be part of the Local Series on The Fabulosity Diary. 

SAPMOK is an all adventure brand with a unique product offering of hand-crafted shoes and products tailored to give and authentic feel and real life experience. 

I decided to reach out to the brand because my family and I are always adventuring around and thought it would be a perfect fit and put my perfect hand-crafted Sapmok shoes to the test.

We headed to Cape Point for the day and thought it was great opportunity to rock my 'vellies' as South Africans call it. I was super excited as I had my whole outfit planned in my head and I must say I was super happy how my Sapmoks complimented the outfit and added character. Its something rather different because as you know I would probably wear my sneakers but loved that I have something new to add to my looks and I wanted a pair for ages.

I styled my Sapmoks with a white shirt , chino skinny a printed headband to tie the look together and a backpack. My look was very simple and gave me the feel of something I might wear on safari haha.

 I must say when we arrived at Cape Point (my first time there) I wasn't to sure if these would be the most comfortable shoes since it being the first time being on my feet(you know that first time having to wear a shoe and its not comfortable and need to be stretched etc.)  but I was totally wrong and the brand 100% stands for what it say that it is made for adventure. and made for an explorer

Why I love my Sapmoks:

• Comfortable
• Made for walking , I was super impressed as there was loads of walking to do.
• Stylish - I see myself rocking my sapmoks into my wardrobe because its very versatile and will share more looks on my instagram feed,make sure you following me.
• Durable - I also know that this will last me years and years to come and will stick with me for future adventures.

I'm excited to take my Sapmoks on more adventures and suggest that if you an adventurer you should get a pair too. They honestly made for adventure. I might even hike with it and let you know my final final verdict - What do you think??

but for now my final thoughts on the hand-crafted shoe is that it is definitely quality and made to perfection.

Thank you Sapmok for gifting me and giving me the chance to represent your brand on my adventures.

Go ahead and check out Sapmok -  https://sapmok.com/ , they have an awesome selection of colours and other styles available that I too have my eye on.

Review : Kudu Cosmetica

Hi Beauties

Today I have another brand I can add to my LOCAL SERIES - a skincare brand called Kudu Cosmetica that I discovered and they were kind enough to send over two of their products from their range for me to try out. I received it last year soo I have been using it for some time now and its purely amazing and yay they 100% cruelty free and whenever possible they support locally and support small local businesses in Africa.

#GIFTED

Here is some info on the following products they sent me and my thoughts below:

MASQUE - water activated facial mask that will purify , repair and relenish your skin.Deep Cleansing mineral rich clays work together with potent bio- active botanical extracts and natural anti-inflammatory agents.

You guys know how I love testing masks and I was even more excited because it was powder based and I haven't tried a mask like this before. I also could not believe how quick it dries and how clean and fresh ones face feels after like it stripped all impurities away. 

SQUALANE SERUM/OIL- helps skin retain natural moisture,improving texture and tone.

When applying this to my skin I instantly felt the softness. Normally I feel very hesitant about facial oils because I'm afraid it will make my skin oily or because I tried an oil (can't remember the brand) and it left my face feeling super oily and never tried it again , but the squalane oil gave me a different outlook in using facial oils and this one being the first part of my facial routine I think it definitely makes a difference to the skin especially in winter.I also love the fact of how light it feels on the skin and has no greasy feel once applied.

Final thoughts - I experienced no sensitivity and skin felt amazing. The products that were sent to me are pricey for those with a budget but I think is / will be worth every penny and yay for no harmful ingredients. I will most definitely be purchasing in the future. Thank you Kudu for GIFTING me with your products.

p.s ... I shared with mom and sister who has a different skin type and they absolutely love the products.
also super excited to try their cold-pressed oils which are at a very very affordable prices which also has great benefits for the skin soo you have no excuse to give this great brand a go  

Hope you enjoyed this review , if you do purchase please let me know your thoughts after using any of their products . I know I'm very keen to try some of their other products out.

You can check out their site for other amazing products and shop till you drop -  SHOP NOW - KUDU

Review : The Body Shop - Elderflower Unperfumed Cooling Eye Gel

Hi Lovelies

It's always good to be back hope you all well 😊today on the blog I have a review on a product that is a bit different - ELDERFLOWER Unperfumed Cooling Eye Gel by The Body Shop. 

As soon as I saw this on The Body Shop Instagram page I was immediately interested because I have this thing when I have a lack of sleep my eyes begin to strain and has that pulling one side feeling if you know what I'm trying to say. I also have dark circles soo when I don't get enough sleep it will literally show the next day along with some puffiness under the eye area. I was very keen to give it a try , went to the body shop and purchased it straight away.

After using it for some time now here are my thoughts : 

Firstly I love the moisture it adds to my eye area because I don't really use eye cream (which I should) and don't really put much product in the eye area I love that the product is for the under eye and gives it the moisture it needs. It definitely doesn't take away the dark circles but I do find that it gives the eye area a refreshing look especially for the puffiness part. I also like the gel texture because when my eyes were feeling tired and strained it gives that awakening boost with instant cooling and soothing. 

Why you should give this product a try:

• Acts as a moisturizing gel. 
• Soothes and refreshes skin around the eye.
• Great for tired and puffy eyes.
• Not sticky.
• Non fragrant.

The Eye Gel retails for R100 and I would purchase again. I would say that the tub is a bit small and not sure if you would splurge but if you do have extra cash give it a try. 

Tip: Place container in the fridge for extra coolness.

Available at The Body Shop Stores. Hope you enjoyed this post and have a wonderful day.

Review : LUX Even Tone Beauty Soap

Hi Beauties

Firstly thanks to RubyBox for sending over some soap for my friends and myself to try out.

My first impression when seeing the soap is the beautiful flower detail it has and was impressed by the whole design of the LUX EVEN TONE soap. I can't remember when last I used a lux bar soo I was super stoked when I got sent some to test and review.

What also caught my attention is that when applying the soap to my face there was no need to use my exfoliating face scrub because the soap acts as one too as it has tiny grains within the soap soo yay a cleanse , exfoliate and not forgetting that it has evening vitamin B3 to leave skin EVEN toned.
I also love the fact that it is lightly fragrant and find that it does not irritate my skin in any way as I do have sensitive skin. I also got the hint of cocoa butter immediately and can feel the smoothness once the soap is used , I honestly love it more because cocoa butter.

Why you should give the LUX Even Tone Beauty Soap a try:

• Acts as an Exfoliator
• Leave Skin smooth and fresh after each wash
• Lightly Fragrant
• Affordable

You can find these at many outlets such as clicks , dischem , shoprite at only R13.99 for 175g soap.

To find more reviews you can visit Rubybox 

If you have tried the soap let me know in the comments below or on social media . Thanks for reading till next time...

Review : LuluBee Skin-Health Products

Hi Beauties

I've decided to reach out to some brands to start an awesome series on my blog where I introduce awesome LOCAL Brands or brands that need to be discovered because they awesome. 

I came across Lulubee and saw they had skincare products, you know how I love trying out new skincare products and what immediately caught my attention was that they had a product for psoriasis, I will chat about this in a bit. I then reached out to Lulubee and they were kind enough to send me most of their products to test and review and I must say I love it otherwise I would not be blogging about it and bonus they not expensive at all yay!

Some info on the LuluBee Range
All their skin product formulations are 100% natural active ingredients made all from
Botanical plant-oils from freshly foraged plants , raw beeswax and Essential oils and this is what I love that it is all natural . Read more about the brand here .

Here are my thoughts below:

DEVINE HEALER SALVE - R190

This product is legit the bom.com and the one that initially caught my attention because I saw it helps with eczema, I have psoriasis after applying the balm it leaves the dry patches nourished and eventually keeps the flakiness away. I give this particular product 10/10 as I loved it since the first use. It's basically a first aid in a jar (does that even make sense lol). It helps with everything it says on the site , it definitely helps with insect bites and takes the itch away instantly . I even got my family members to try it and they love it. It helps with soo many things such as cuts , colds and flu oh ladies its great for your heels of your feet , yup you know what that sandals does to them heels.

IMMORTELLE FACE BLAM - R170

When I first applied this product I was like this is not going to work for me I found it to be very oily but then changed my mind because about 5min later I found the product to be soaked into the skin and also found it to be good for some dry areas on my face. I don't think I will suggest this product to those who have oily skin. I do think this product is a great transitional product from autumn to  winter or if you have very dry skin.

BEE-LICIOUS BODY BALM - R190

I love how conditioning this product is great for areas such as your elbows or knees. I love the fact that it has chamomile and soothing properties and is perfect to use when you come out of a lovely shower. The Body balm definitely goes by its name because the scent is just amazing.

LIP NECTARS - R60

There are two scents available in these lip balms lime and jasmin and mandarin and ylang ylang which are absolutely divine. Both these lip balms are super hydrating to the lips which is perfect for the winter season and especially to those who have dry dry lips, it has a oil which is high in vitamin C to repair damaged skin.

REUSEABLE BEESWAX FOOD WRAPS 

The Lulubee brand also stands by the ZERO WASTE POLICY which I totally agree on as I too came to the party to try to save our planet by Reduce , Reuse , Recycle and taking small steps to follow on the eco way. The Food wraps can be used to wrap your leftovers or your lunch and is washable which is perfect. Soo if you want to start natural food storage you should give it a goo its really cool.

To shop these LuluBee products - Shop LuluBee

After testing the products for a few months I must say I am very happy with what the brand has to offer. I especially love the DEVINE HEALER SALVE its my favorite from the products as it works for many things. In all I am happy with all the products and what it does to the skin. 

Thank you LuluBee for GIFTING me these products, I will sure be purchasing soon. Support Local and support small businesses it means the world trust me :)

Trend : Culottes

Hi Lovely Beauties

Lately I've been living in my culotte pants and my collection is kinda growing, they just too comfortable and I think I'm obsessed all over again.... let me give you a little back story going back to my childhood I remember owning a denim pair that I wore all the time I mean ALL the time with my ridiculous pink sneakers and colourful type jerseys haha... but as I got older I grew out of wide style  - palazzo , pajama pants as some call it and thought its not such a cool vibe and switched over to the SKINNY LEG , come on I know you did too. 

Anyway flash forward to 2018 the CULOTTE has become one of the most popular trends in my opinion seeing it at many fashion outlets and I must say I think it's here to stay throughout 2019 into our autumn/winter season back to spring/summer this year. 

Here is a look I wore to a wedding on how I styled my pleated culottes let me know what you think?

I'm excited to style my culotte pants for the upcoming autumn/winter season . If you would like a post on how to style culottes or just a general lookpost to see how else I styled it , let me know.

Are you a fan of the culotte trend? let me know in the comments below :)

Hello 2019 - My Wish For You

Happy New Year my fellow followers 😊 .

I think by now everything is back into full swing of  'normal' and everybody is starting to settle into the new year and ready to tackle 2019. I cannot believe January is almost behind us shew!

In this post I thought it would be cute just to mention a few motivation pointers to start off the year instead of mentioning my resolutions , to be honest I'm one of those that never stick to my resolutions and decided that what I will be mentioning below will hopefully make you feel better because it helps me get through everyday and find myself more at peace in a way if you know what I mean.

My Wish For You Is To ...

• Take on a hobby - Trust me when I say this , weather its baking , painting or whatever find time to do something you love, it's the most relaxing thing ,just to take a break of everyday life and do something you actually enjoy.

• Declutter - Nothing makes my mind more crowded than a messy space it leaves me feeling all tangled up in my head space and irritated , therefore I love doing spring cleaning once a month but basically every time I see a space getting too much clutter and by tidying it up it immediately makes me feel better. Try it and let me know?

• Help Someone - This always gives me an instant mood booster . Nothing can take away the joy you feel when you give someone something and to see that smile is priceless. Even if you should give a child a sweet , buy a loaf of bread each month and just give it to someone or donate some of your old clothing to charity trust me you will feel super great.

• Find Me Time - Sometimes I forget this and feel that it is very important for yourself . You may not notice but you can forget about yourself with the hustle and bustle of life I'm I right ? give yourself a break and do something that makes you feel relaxed , watching youtube , series , reading a book and no need to feel guilty because you deserve some me time. 

• Appreciate the small things/ Gratitude - We tend to let our problems get to us to an extent that we over worry that make us go crazy and gives us thoughts and make us think that we can't carry on the next day, do you agree? The thing that I planted in my head when I'm not having a good day is just to accept and appreciate the roof over my head , I have clean water to drink , I woke up healthy and I mean how lucky are we compared to someone else?

• Be Happy - Life is short , try to find inner piece I know that this can be difficult but working on this everyday is a progress indeed and that's okay... to take small steps and make small changes you'll get there, I know we will . Our mental health is important and we need to take care of our mental state a happy mind is a happy life.

My last wish for you is that I hope you all have a prosperous and good year ahead. We don't know how our days might turn out but I know by my list above it makes me feel good and hope it will help you too when you feel you cannot conquer.

NEW YEAR, NEW FEELS, NEW CHANCES , SAME DREAMS , FRESH STARTS

#OOTD - How I Styled my Paper Bag Pants

Hello Beauties !

Omg its been months , yes I am alive and I miss this little space of mine. I don't know why but I just could not get myself to sit by the computer and write something , one moment I'm feeling inspired one minute totally uninspired. Does this happen to you too?

Anyway ... I've come back with a OOTD for ya'll yay I know you like them. In today's post I will be showing you how I styled my paper-bag pants.

Firstly I love how comfortable these pants are, comfy and versatile which I think you can dress up and down. In the look below I dressed for a wedding so I styled it with a pair of block heels (yup comfort yo girl ain't got time for that stilettos) along with a cute light weight top from poetry which i tucked in my pants along with the straw woven bag which I found on the flea market for R40 can you believe it? I then put my hair in a top knot with some cool handmade beaded earrings.

No clue what to style your paper-bag pants with? Here are some tips

• Give some edge with a leather jacket.
• A white shirt , this will make you look chic as ever.
• Plain white tee and heels (plain but simple outgoing look agree?)
• Add funky accessories to your look.

Please show me how you styled you paper-bag pants . If you loved my look let me know via social media or comment below would love to hear your thoughts.

How To Style Your Red Boots

Hi Beauties

Styling red boots can be tricky for some and I don't think one will purchase it that easily, but when I saw this particular pair which was also available in very basic colours I don''t know what persuaded me to take the red. I was just drawn to it and thought to myself I can make it work.

Posting about Red Boots have been on my mind far too long , funny thing is.. it's super trendy this year and have spotted in several stores. I've had this pair 3 years and never wore it because I was a bit too skeptical to wear them and thought it would be the perfect time to turn this into a post and showcase how I wore my Red Booties.

In my look below I played it very safe in my opinion keeping it simple with a stripe tee (which you can never go wrong with) along a basic blue jean, a cap all in similar colour tone and earrings with a pop of red to tie the look together but also think I wanted to make the boots the centre of attention.

                                         

So if you a bit skeptical like I was start matching your boots with the items above before you match with prints or more bold clothing. I'm very keen to experiment matching my boots with more prints and other fashion pieces although red boots are super statement enough already I think it can create a fun look.

On the verge of buying some red boots? Here are a few fashion items you can pair with your red boots to get you started:

• All denim 
• White shirt/tee with jean
• All Black  

but... if you are not scared of clashing colours and prints with your red boots go ahead because I think it will anyway bring your whole look together along with your great style. 

Did you like how I styled my Red Boots ? Let me know in the comment section below or comment on my social media posts or even tag me on twitter I would love to see.

Secretly Missing Summer

H E L L O my beauties

Is this really my first post for the year? I can't believe it and the fact that we past the half of the year already, I feel so guilty but you know sometimes life can get too busy .. I know I know I say this all the time whenever I'm on some break , no excuses but I want to try and create good content than for the sake of posting. 

Damn.... its been a while since I had time to sit and actually write something for you. After a few days of coldness the weekend past we were surprised by some wonderful sunshine and warmth and I must say I'm secretly missing summer although I do enjoy winter days.

Now into the next weekend I am still trying to finish off this post and thought it would be perfect because its a beautiful rainy Friday afternoon, everyone is in their own space and I thought its perfect to finish up this post that I've been trying to get up for the longest time ever.

These are a few pictures I took not to long back , basically the last days of summer , and thought it perfectly suits the idea of this post.

Also.. I am currently loving the EMBROIDERY TREND and trying to find pieces with awesome embroidery.

 

What is your favourite - Winter days or Summer Days? also what do you think of the embroidery trend? too much or loving it :)

What I'm wearing :
Jumper : Up To Date Closet
Bag : Practical Gifts
Sneakers : Adidas Stan Smith
Earrings : Chokers and Statements (Made by myself 😃)
