I KNOW YOU WANNA SNIFF ME

This stuff is super nice! @brooklynsoapco

When your favourite fragrance gets some fancy new packaging you know it’s going to be a great week. The Woods by Brooklyn Soap Company has been serving me in the fragrance department since last Spring when I first got my hands on a bottle. What I like most is that it works all year round. Somehow it’s rich and sweet enough for the Winter and perky enough for the Summer. Magic! For now, this is my…

PERRICONE MD PLASMA ESSENTIALS

I've been slathering my skin in various plasma's. This is what happened! @PerriconeMD

The Plasma Essentials Collection by Perricone MD came to my rescue this Winter and I’m going to tell you why. The Blue Plasma Cleansing Treatment was out of my comfort zone as it’s non-rinse (kind of like a micellar water). If you wear make-up this is a good option as your first cleanse in the evening and/or your 1 step morning cleanse. I use it in the morning and splash my face with water…

HOW TO PARTY AND NOT GET A HANGOVER

The hangover cure! Perhaps I should have told you this last week.

  The legal age of drinking kicks off at 18 in the UK. In the first decade of my legal drinking years I managed some level of hangover almost every weekend. The hangovers ranged from 1-10. With 1 being a slight headache upon waking that faded with some water and a coffee and 10 not being able to stand up or hold down a sip of water without being sick. Luckily I reached a 10 only a few times in…

WHAT I'M WEARING #007

Check out my latest menswear post featuring @farahmenswear #mensfashion

For this look I’ve gone all black. I decided on slightly faded jeans, uneven in tone to soften the vibe which keeps it effortless and prevents everything looking stark. The statement piece from this outfit is definitely the shoes which inspired the whole look. This is totally versatile, can be worn day or evening, weekday or weekend. SUNGLASSES – SALT. OPTICS JACKET – FARAH GLOVES – COACH JEANS –…

NUORI SUPREME MOISTURE MASK

I put the new @NUORIskincare moisture mask to the test. This is what happened.

Supreme moisture mask is the latest addition from one of my favourite brands NUORI. Everything I’ve used from this brand feels special and I love the packaging. The intense moisture mask can be used in a number of ways. The instructions suggest applying a generous amount for 10-15 minutes for an instant hydration boost or leave it overnight for an intensified result. A few weeks ago I needed to…

WHAT I'M WEARING #005

Have you seen this new #menswear post featuring @dmljeans & @farahmenswear

  My go-to wardrobe staples must be versatile and comfortable. These Drape shoes from Farah Menswear are comfortable enough to wear on a wander through the forest yet smart enough for an evening out. Same goes with these denim trousers from DML Jeans. I like this style as they aren’t too skinny in the leg yet come in slim at the ankle. They also offer short, regular and long options for the legs.…

MY MARULA MOMENT

The Mineral Cleansing Mask by @MarulaSkincare #skincare #greenbeauty

  The weekend is drawing to an end and I’m taking it easy after a rigorous Yoga class that’s left me pretty achy. I had the idea of using a nice face mask which led me to writing this post. The Mineral Cleansing Mask by African Botanics is good for all skin types. So whether you have sensitive, mature, oily or dry skin I’m sure you will benefit from using this. My nose easily becomes congested…

WHAT I'M WEARING #005

There's a new A/W menswear post on the blog. #mensfashion

In August I received this suede flying jacket and it’s finally the right time to wear it. The brand behind the jacket is Aero Leather which is based in Scotland. I’m really into the oversized shape that fits snug at the waist, wrists and collar. It’s one of those investment pieces that will get better with age. I think it’s casual yet it makes an effortless statement. I’m also wearing Willems…
