REVIEW : Fujifilm INSTAX LINK WIDE Printer

 Hi Lovelies , 

How are you ? I hope you having a good day 😀. As you all know I am an Instax gal , and I'm here today to bring you another awesome review of one Instax Printers this time - they sent over for me to test and review the INSTAX LINK WIDE Printer.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

Firstly I was super excited to try this particular Instax out as it was a Printer this time and you need to download the APP to get access to your photos. I loved the design of the printer and loved that it comes with a stand so you can store your camera on a desk or shelf.. I was definitely intrigued to see what this Instax Printer can do.

Trying out the INSTAX LINK WIDE:

So with this Instax printer it needs to be used with the APP which was the first time I used it and it was such a fun process. I enjoyed choosing some memories from my phone that I always wanted to print and adding wording and selecting photos and putting it in a collage. I only figured out some other features later on once my film was finished but I think they are really cool and something different to add life to your memories.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Wow! I am 100% impressed with this printer and I would definitely purchase if I can. I love love my normal Instax cameras but this printer was so fun to play around with. My favourite features was that you can add artwork or wording to your memories , oh and the collage feature is great. But guys I realized you can add so much more such as voice recordings , hidden messages , website links , location points to your photos. I also love the wide polaroid look as it can capture more of the background if you please.

KEY FEATURES:

• Simple Print
• Colour Modes
• Video Print 
• Multi Print

QR MODES

• Record a sound
• Link to a website
• Location Print
• Hidden Messages 

Retail Price in South Africa +/- R2500

Colours available in the Instax Link Wide Printer

NETFLIX - My Current Watch List October '21

 Hi Everybody hope you all good and well 😀

Today on the blog bringing you another list of Netflix shows I'm currently watching or just finished.

If you stuck , not sure what to watch next have a look below . Majority are trending shows but I will leave a little review below if you haven't watched it yet.

1. Squid Game 

Probably the most hyped show of 2021. I'm sure most of you have watched it already but if you haven't it's a survival type series where players who are in deep financial debt risk their lives to be part of a contest where they play children's games for a big big cash prize. If you are not into violence I suggest you don't watch it at all. I really loved the suspense of the whole show and it was very interesting to see how people will turn on each other at the end of the day for money , greed is a real thing hey !

2. Locke and Key S2

This season of Locke and key was too good. More Keys are found and the drama and suspense in the series was just exciting . This series had the whole family hooked that we finished it in two days. Definitely one of my number 1 show I can't get enough of can't wait for the next season. If you into magic type shows this one is for you.

3. YOU S3

If you into psychological thriller you would love this series , its everywhere too and you probably watched it but if you haven't maybe give it a try? wow what utter madness Joe does for love from stalking to murder , not going to say much but watch all seasons now. To be honest it was a bit draggy for me in the beginning but its one of those series you want to know what happens next if you know what I mean.

4. Dynasty 

If you looking for something to binge Dynasty would be the perfect series , never a dull moment with all the family drama , when I say family drama damn. So if you haven't jumped on the dynasty bandwagon yet don't worry you can have a lovely weekend with endless watching.

5. Blood and Water S2

Really enjoying this South African series. For all the drama lovers this series is filled with much complicated drama. It's about a girl on the mission to find her long-lost sister. I'm currently still watching the series and very curious to see how the season unfolds. I love the whole storyline and very surprised I'm enjoying the South African series. S1 and S2 is available on Netflix. 

What shows have you been watching lately? have you watched anything I mentioned above? let me know down below.

I really enjoy chatting about what I'm currently watching let me know if you do to.

Some Exciting News and Styling The Lorine Sunglasses by AMINA Glasses

 Hi Beauties 

Firstly I hope everyone is doing great and coping with the pandemic its been rough and ohkay but we dealing hey.. what can we do. All I'm glad for is that I have a post for you because I miss gathering up a post 😊.

I have some exciting news.. well to me its kind of a proud moment , not that big news but I'm proud to say that I'm an Ambassador for AMINA Sunglasses - Curated Eyewear for Warrior Women.

I was super stoked when I was chosen to be part of their selection and think that their brand stands for something more powerful than just eyewear. Their message behind their brand is to celebrate or remind Women that we are STRONG , INDEPENDENT and that we are MIGHTY,we walk tall and take pleasure in the beauty of the world. 

Well lets get to the point of this post - They asked me to pick one of their eyewear pieces and I had to style them , super exciting as I love sunglasses. I chose the Lorine Pair because I think having a good black pair of sunglasses is always a must in your collection.

I've taken these pictures a while back and just did not have the motivation or time to post. While Cape Town is still experiencing weather of all seasons I thought it would still be appropriate to post this look which a winter look styling my Lorine's.     

About this look :

I decided to style my lorine sunglasses with a look that is comfortable with some edge and a pop of soft colour. Because Teddy coats was huge winter I had an excuse to put on mine which I actually got as a gift last year. I decided because the Teddy Coat was Baby pink I used it to elevate the rest of the look by wearing my black pleather pants, black converse , black lorine's and a beige jersey to soften the look. I also tied my hair in a pony with soft curls to bring the look together. 

If you loved how I styled my outfit please leave a comment down below I would appreciate it and mostly I hope you loved the post.

Also if you do purchase a pair of sunglasses from Amina please tag me and them I would love to see.

Review : Avene Thermal Spring Water

Hi Beauties,

Its been ages and this post has been sitting in my drafts so here it is, a product that I love that I really wanted to share! 

OMG ! let me just say that I have been dying to try this product forever since it launched I've been itching to test it because I only read great things about this brand.

So I've been using this since October last year, clicks had a sale and I had to take the opportunity and purchase because it was worth it. I got the 300 ml and can you believe its only finished now after using it like crazy I'm surprised its lasted so long.

The cool thing about this product is that it can be used for soo many things like:

• Irritated skin
• Sunburn
• After Shaving
• Facial Redness
• Make-up removal
• Skin irritations
• After Exercising and even diaper rashes

How great is that this one product is like an all rounder! right? I love it

Super glad I had it for the Summer season I was literally using it everyday to cool off especially my mom she can't get enough of the spray and I've also been using it for my eczema which helped a lot it gave relief for all the itchiness. Every visitor we had we recommended the product like we were getting commission haha that's how great it is!

Avene will definitely be a products I will invest in , I am very keen to try the other products (I do have the face wash review coming soon). When I do see promotions I will purchase especially the Thermal Spring Water I see this being a permanent product for my skin/body for years come.

I rate this product 5/5

Have you used the Thermal Spring Water Before ? Do you love it and does it work for you ? I would love to know please comment below. Also which Avene products do you think I should try next?

You will find the Thermal Spring Water at Clicks and Dischem and their online stores.

Have a lovely day and thanks for reading I really appreciate it.

p.s If you you do decide to purchase let me know what you think and tag me on the socials :) #ShopWithTheFabDiary

NETFLIX shows to binge watch during lockdown

Hi ,

By now I don't even think we know what day it is anymore because everyday feels like a Sunday right!?

Today on the blog I decided to compile a little Netflix list for you of my favorite series that I've been loving to watch and those I finished because it was that good.

1. Locke And Key
For all the supernatural lovers this series is honestly great in my opinion every episode was very intriguing you want to know what's next all the time , I enjoyed watching it with the fam we would then discuss our own scenarios to what is going to happen next. The series is about a family three siblings and their mother move into a house following their Father's Murder hoping for a new start not knowing the home is filled with magical keys... not going to say more you have to watch to find out.

2. Queen Of The South
Ohkay those who love action and oh am I glad this show is on Netflix because when I started watching it wasn't but now you can binge because I think it will be worth it. They only have 3 seasons but that's ohkay it will be enough for the lockdown period. Season 4 is currently out. I'm not an action type but I loved all the craziness in this particular series because it involves a lot of crime and suspense basically its about a women who is forced to run and seek refuge in America , if you love stories with drug trafficking this one is for you.

3. Stranger Things
What a great show let me start by saying that! I love everything about it especially all the mystery that happens in the series from secret government experiments to a lot supernatural forces happening. The show starts off with a boy going missing and a strange girl that has magical powers eventually as the seasons goo on they become friends trying to unfold what is really going on in their little town. Supernatural and Mystery the best ever.

4. Good Girls
Good girls is a fun filled comedy drama about two sisters and their best friend who become caught up in desperate circumstances and they decide to rob a supermarket because of their financial burdens  which leads them onto a whole different path , they get pulled deeper and deeper into the situation..I want to say more but you have to watch you will tell me again! I love that every episode is catchy and filled with action and drama

5. On My Block
Looking for a good laugh with some drama then this is a great series for you. This series is about Savvy Teen friends that are in High School trying to figure out life from trying to get their friend out of a gang , making decisions and more , all these events will surely test their friendship. If you wan't to know more you gotta watch I know this will give you lots of laughs.


Time to Netflix and Chill hope you enjoy and let me know how you find the series and which is your fav and also what you are currently watching.

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.

Review : ZERO BAR Shampoo Bar

Hello Beauties

I have an exciting product that I would like to introduce to you , something that is great for my travel peeps , those who like to pack light and most importantly those who are conscious on helping the environment and another plus is that is produced in South Africa made with locally sourced ingredients yay!

Let me introduce to you ZERO BAR - a shampoo bar that is water free , plastic free and cruelty free, how awesome is that?!

#GIFTED

My First Impression about the Zero Bar - Wow its cool , something new so I was obviously 100% interested in what the product can do, the only doubt I had was, can this actually work for my hair as its super long and my concern was will it feel fresh and clean , will a bar be able to wash my long locks and will it actually work like a shampoo? mmm...

well what I can say is that after using the Zero Bar I am impressed. Let me tell you a bit about the bars , you get 4 bars  :

Argan :  The argan bar contains a higher percentage of argan oil compared to the rest of the bars. The bar is jammed packed with nutrients which moisturize your hair as a whole and great for those with scalp issues such as dandruff.

Jojoba : The jojoba is enhanced with the moisturizing and has scent of jojoba oil.

Moringa : The Moringa bar is for strengthening of the hair and helps rejuvenate tired and healthy hair and great for split ends and has a good dose of moringa oil.

Desert Melon : The desert melon bar is packed with vitamins and anti-oxidants perfect to condition the hair without leaving it with a greasy residue.

Final thoughts :
I've only used two thus far the Argan and Jojoba (yes its lasts that long how great is that !)

I love it ! My favorite is definitely the Argan bar the scent reminds me of a perfume and it leaves my hair looking fresh , healthy and good and I always get compliments after I washed it.

I'm currently using the Jojoba but it feels like its making my hair a bit too oily , soo I would say this bar is maybe great for those that feel their hair is a bit dry and need some moisture.

I haven't had the chance to try the Moringa and Dersert melon yet but I'm sure the Moringa would work great for my split ends and the desert melon would be great for when my hair is oily.

I would definitely purchase again because I think it would work great when travelling no need to carry those big bottle shampoo and you get more washes out it , up to 55 to 70 washed. Let me tell you I've been using it and my family and its lasts trust me!

the only thing that I think might get to people is that the bar might get soggy so my tips is.. don't leave it in a area where its damp or whet put it directly in a container or back in the box after you use it. I see they recently introduced the ZERO BAR aluminium bar saver for only R60 how great is that , I have to get me one ! oh and another four new BAR Bro's joining the family !

All Shampoo bars going for R75 each

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.
