Happy 2024 :) - In's and Outs

 Hey Everyone 😀

Firstly Happy New Year ! can you believe we in the year 2024 already? crazy ! 

I'm sure wherever you are you are somewhat settled and feel that back-to-norm vibes have crept in already. 

On my side I still feel a bit on holiday mode, I think because the weather is so hot and it still gives those summer vibes you know..my days recently have been filled with loads of visits to the beach and sunsets which I absolutely love.

I've seen this trend going around In's and Outs for the year lets give it a goo 

INS

• creating>consuming
• drink more water
• reading more 
• learning a new recipe / being the kitchen more 
• blog more (haha I really want to try this year)
• more walks / sunsets 
• getting more creative 
• some form of exercise 

OUTS

• consuming > creating 
• too much screen time (very hard but got to work on it)
• comparing 
• not being organized

I would like to add more here but I really need to think about it but it was fun making that ins and outs list... lets hope I can stick to it haha 😂 

but anyways ... I hope everyone have a good year ahead , because of course there will be curveballs along the way  but we have to be positive and hope and trust for the best.

Look Post : Styling Cargo Pants

 Hi Beauties,

Omw things just got hectic lately and I was wanting to post this ages ago but I didn't get any chance to sit down but I couldn't be more happier to post this as I did not do a Look Post in AGES I mean AGES !

Our topic today is CARGO PANTS , I must say its definitely one of my favorite favorite trends at the moment and glad it has made a comeback and gained quite a lot of popularity. I really love that our legs get to feel comfy while looking stylish, don't mind me I still love a good skinny pants but I'm not complaining, I love how laidback the loose fit is and the plus side is that you can style it up but I prefer styling it laidback as I did here. 

My look- I went with an oversized graphic T with a nice pop of colour along with a stone colour cargo pants and white chunky sneakers paired along with some vintage looking sunglasses I got in a magazine once upon a time.

Hope you loved my look , please comment below if you did. How would you style your cargo pants ? Let me know .

Have a wonderful day.

Review : Nature's Nourishment Skin Cleanser For Sensitive Skin

 Hi Beauties ,

Today I will be sharing a new facial cleanser that I've been using for quite some time now about 4-5 months to be exact,  it's called the Nature's Nourishment Skin Cleanser for sensitive skin.

I was always wanting to give this facial cleanser a go because I've read such good things about it and I needed a cleanser at the time because my skin was just looking not so great because I did not have any cleanser left at the time and needed one asap.

Firstly I loved that it was super budget friendly and I only payed R39.95 can you believe it ?! I was even more impressed when it took care of my blackhead problem on my nose area. This cleanser is a bit different to the normal ones I use like its not a foamy texture once applied it gives a instant soft feel , like you applying Vaseline and leaves your face feeling soft after using . I also love the fact that its a 2-1 as the packaging says it can be used for face and body.  

Why you should give this product a try:

• Softens and cleans
• Fragrance Free
• Non -Irritating Formula   

I rate this product 5/5 and would definitely purchase again , so for all those that have a sensitive skin type and on a budget I would 100% recommend.

Product can be found at Dis-Chem Stores and online store too.

Review : LUX Botanicals Skin Rejuvenate Honeysuckle and Neroli Oil Shower Gel

 Hi Beauties , 

Hope you having a good day to the day so far. Today on the blog I will be reviewing a new shower gel I tried from the LUX Botanicals Range - Skin Rejuvenate Honeysuckle and Neroli Oil Shower Gel.

The LUX Skin Rejuvenate is made with a blend of honeysuckle and neroli oil. With these natural ingredients it will most definitely refresh your skin and awaken its natural glow.

 I must say the packaging really gives a hint of what to expect , the yellow flower imagery gave a sense of summer freshness and I must say it was the perfect body wash for the summer season. When applying the body wash after a lather you can instantly get a good scent of freshness to uplift the mood instantly. I would definitely purchase more of the botanicals range again. I loved the fact that it was a different type of scent for a change to my usual and gave a different , lighter aroma which I liked. I also like that it is paraben free , sustainable ingredients are used and all packaging are made from recyclable packaging. I'm looking forward to trying the other shower gel from the LUX Botanicals Range.

You can find this at major retail stores such as clicks ,checkers , DisChem for  R 54.99 - R75,99

Which Shower Gel are you currently using?

Review : Vitamin Me - Hair Growth + Strength and Debloating + Digestion

 Hi Beauties,

Disclaimer : Please note I am no health expert and all reviews are from my personal experience using the product over a period of time. Vitamins may differ to each individual using it #Collaboration Post.

Hope you are all good and well , I'm back with part 2 reviewing the Hair Growth + Strength and Debloating + Digestion from Vitamin Me. If you would like to read my review on the Daily Multi Vitamin and Sleep + Anxiety Click here. 

Hair Growth + Strength 

• Boost Hair Growth
• Boost Strength
• Boost Shine 

Thoughts/review :  Since taking the Hair Growth and strength tablets it definitely took my hair from looking dull and lifeless to looking more lush and healthy and I even noticed some baby hair growth along with extra volume in my hair and this was one of the main concerns I had. I love it.

Debloating + Digestion

• Alleviate bloating + promote optimal digestion
• Helps you maintain a healthy digestive system

Thoughts/review : If you looking for a product to get your bloating in check the debloating+ Digestion is for you. After using these tablets you can definitely notice a difference LESS BLOATING for sure. You can also notice a huge difference in overall digestion. It also helps being more regular than usual which is great leaving my tummy feeling less congested. I must say they key ingredients such as fennel , milk thistle and turmeric which is all great to tackle and help fight bacteria and helps with inflammation and remove harmful toxins.

Review : Dove Go Fresh Cucumber and Green Tea Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Body Spray

 Hi Lovelies 

I hope you having a good start of the week thus far . Today I will be reviewing the Dove Go Fresh Cucumber and Green Tea Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Body Spray. 

I must say this is such a different scent to the usual, the cucumber and green tea has a super fresh smell once applied and is definitely great for welcoming the upcoming season Spring/ Summer. The Go fresh Dove is one to add to my favourites pile which I see me purchasing when doing shopping. I love that the scent remains and very moisturising once applied to the skin. I like that the scent is very uplifting to give that extra mood boost to get your day started.

 Why you should give the Dove Go Fresh a try :

• Alcohol free formulation
• 48 hour sweat protection
• has 1/4 moisturising cream 
• has a fresh scent of cucumber and green tea

Dove is available at Clicks , Dis-Chem and most online stores such as Takealot and Retails for +/- R36.99

Review : VitaminMe - Daily Multivitamin and Sleep + Anxiety Vitamins

 Hi Beauties ,

Disclaimer : Please note I am no health expert and all reviews are from my personal experience using the product over a period of time. Vitamins may differ to each individual using it #Collaboration Post.

Hope you are all having a good day thus far! Today on the blog I will be discussing some health products that have been sent over by a brand called Vitamin ME . If you are looking to improve your health and getting the proper vitamins I'm sure you will be able to find a vitamin to suit your specific needs to gain your full optimal health. 

If you are unsure where to start you can take a wellness quiz to give you a guideline on which ones to purchase - Click here . If you take the quiz and it will give the recommended percentage of the vitamins that is most likely suitable for you.

I was asked to choose the ones I was interested in to test ,  I gave my list and they kindly sent me the following . I used my answers from the online test to give me an idea of what I needed most.

1. Daily Multivitamin
2. Sleep + Anxiety
3. Debloating and Digestion 
4. Hair Growth + Strength

In this post I will be reviewing the Daily Multivitamin and Sleep + Anxiety.

 Daily Multivitamin 

• Improves energy levels 
• Promotes healthy immune system
• Supports Strong nails and bones 

Thoughts/ review : For me a daily vitamins are always essential to ones daily life and I was super keen to try this one. I love trying new products that will contribute to a healthy lifestyle. However when it comes to any multivitamin I somehow experience nausea.

With this particular vitamin I too experienced some brief nausea on day1(took it in the morning) the next day was fine and vomited on day3 probably because I had milk right after. I then tried a different a approach and started taking it mid afternoon or after eating lunch and this was much better for me the rest of the course . Since taking the multivitamin for a few weeks now , I do see a difference in my nails especially it seem more healthy and a more pinkish colour than what it use to be - pale and white and  brittle and seems way more healthy no brittle and dull nails. I also seem to have more energy than usual feeling less fatigue.  I also have no issues with bowel movements and they seem very normal with taking this multivitamin compared to others.

Sleep + Anxiety

                                             

• Improves Sleep Quality and limit feelings of anxiety.

Thoughts/ review : Now this was one I was extremely excited to try because I suffer with anxiety and super anxious time to time which interferes with my sleeping routine. My mind is extremely busy all the time especially at night I cannot seem switch off. I have taken the Sleep = Anxiety multiple nights now when I'm feeling super anxious and I must say I wake up more refreshed and rested the next morning without body stiffness. I also find that taking it after supper so it gives it time to set in and gives it ample time to calm my system. I also find that my palpitations seem more less as there are some nights where I don't even feel anxious but get them closer to bed time. I had no side effects taking this one. I do recommend if you want to improve your sleep quality 100% .

I hope you enjoyed this insightful post and hopefully I inspired you to start your wellness journey.

Stay tuned for my second post coming soon. Which of the Vitamins are you interested in trying ??

To anyone new here my Name is Nabeelah - my blog space covers all things Fashion , Beauty , Lifestyle , some places I visit and anything that interest me and things I think my audience would love.

By now some of you have returned to work , campus , school and life has somewhat returned to normal as we all get back into the swing of things. 

To be honest I'm over the new year new me , instead just taking each day as it comes and trying to be the best version of myself I can be with no expectations.

Don't get me wrong I do love that the new year is a sense of  a clean slate and I love the fact that it gives everyone a new hope of new beginnings or a fresh perspective to what can be.

This post is just to wish all of you reading this a prosperous year ahead and I wish its filled with nothing but goodness and greatness for you. To those who are not in a good space I hope you find the peace you seeking for. 

What I love doing before getting into the full swing of things is decluttering and just cleaning up spaces that need attention. I tried setting small goals but I will see how that goes.

4. 2022 A5 Weekly Buffalo Diary (found at typo R169.99 buy here)

Review : The Body Shop Shea Shower Cream

 Hi Lovelies ,

I will be sharing a review on The Body Shop Shea Shower Cream. If you don't know The Body Shop products its always a win for me, and if you on the look out for new shower cream this may be for you. 

I'm use to using various shower gels and the cream is something different to the usual , it's definitely more creamed based which is lovely just looking at it you will already picture how smooth it will go onto your skin. I'm also very drawn to the scent as it reminds me of a lingering perfume and love how it feels once applied in the shower. My skin is also very sensitive at times and found that I had no reactions when using the shower cream.

Why you should give the Shea Shower Cream a try :

• Looking for something different than a shower gel , more creamy like than gel
• Moisture Rich
• The scent is amazing 
• Soap free
• Cruelty-free 

If you into anything nutty this one is for you. If you tried any of the shower ranges please pop your suggestions below I would love to give them a try. If you have tried the shea butter shower cream let me know your thoughts.

Have a lovely week further 😀

The Shea Shower Cream Retails for R115 (250ml) at The body Shop Stores or Clicks

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 : Clicks Skincare Collection - Rooibos + Anti-Oxidants SPF 15 Day Cream and 3-in-1 Facial Cleanser

 Hi Beauties

Today I have review on facial products from Clicks . I've been using it for a few months now and I'm very happy and thought I would share. 

I was on the hunt for a SPF but unfortunately my budget did not allow me to get the one I want so I came across the clicks skincare collection and I was very curious and like normal its always the packaging that gets me. I then purchased the SPF Day Cream and a facial cleanser because I ran out of facial cleanser. 

Clicks Skincare Collection - Rooibos + Anti Oxidants SPF Day Cream R69.99 (50ml)

• Protects skin from UVA and UVB rays.
• For normal and combination skin.
• Contains Goodness of rooibos

because there is SPF in the day cream I feel that it gives a very matt finish once applied to the skin. I love the fact that your face doesn't feel super sticky like some sunscreen once applied I suppose it because its a cream containing SPF. There was once or twice that my skin did act up on the cheek area like little bumps but not major reaction , no burning sensation or so. I love the light scent it gives off.

Clicks Skincare Collection Rooibos + Anti-Oxidants 3-in-1 Facial Cleanser R64.99 (150ml)

• Gel Cleanser.
• 3-in-1 Cleanser.
• Contains Goodness of Rooibos.
• Removes Dead Skin Cells.

I really loved how soft this cleanser was while feeling the soft grains gently exfoliating your skin, the scent is also amazing after using it for some time I'm happy with the product.  

All in all I think the Clicks Skincare Collection is super affordable and I would like to test and try the other collections and product. It is super budget friendly especially the 3 for 2 promos.

I would purchase the rooibos brand again especially if I'm on a budget.

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.

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 !

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

Review : Sorbet Body Spritzers

Hi Beauties 

I discovered something cool from Sorbet Ranges- the Body Spritzers. I don't know if it's new to Sorbet ranges but it immediately caught my attention and because the packaging looked super interesting and I never tried a body spritzer before.

Anyway... I picked up In Full Bloom and Ocean Mist spritzers and I must say I am totally impressed and think its perfect to use when coming out of the shower or bath giving you that extra freshness. I also think that this is an item that should be added to your beach bag because after that swim in the ocean or sitting whole day at the beach it can be applied or if you decide to grab a coffee with friends or get a spontaneous ice cream , just spritz a few and you good to goo ..

In Full Bloom (100ml) - is the perfect scent for spring and for all those ladies who wants to make a bold statement and is also great to welcome the new seasons with its vibrant floral scents. I love how rich and bold it smell once sprayed on the body.

Ocean Mist (100ml) - is the perfect scent for all those beach babes or for those who love the ocean. This scent screams hellloooo summer giving you an instant airy scent and everything sea-scented once applied to the body.

Why you should give the Sorbet Spritzers a try:

• Super affordable 
• Can be used from AM - PM
• Leaves you feeling fresh
• Available in great scents

I'm yet to try the other Spritzers available I think there is about 5 different scents but think i made the perfect first choice super happy and will definitely be purchasing again #YAYforBudgetFriendly.

Available at Clicks or Clicks online stores at only R39.99

Have you used any Body Spritzers before , please let me know below. I have my eye on a recently launched one too from another brand soo keep posted for a review. 

Stay Fabulous
