Fenty Skin Start’rs Review

By

It’s that time of the year again where one thing’s for sure – we’re all trying to get in as much sun kisses as we can! For me, this meant making a short left home to Durban. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not only the time of year which determines which skincare routine to follow, whether you’ll be spending your time along the coast or more inland is just as valid a reason to switch up on the products you use. Durban is quite humid all year round, but more especially now that it’s Summer. As a result, I navigate most of my days make up free and desire that ultimate coastal skin glow! The Fenty Skin Travel-Size Start’rs set has been my ultimate go to while in Durban. I loved how perfectly they fit into my vanity case and how the 3 step set made for an easy to…

SAVE with your next Homechoice purchase

By

For many of us, we’ve heard of Homechoice through either our mothers, aunts or family friends. My first recall of Homechoice was definitely through a pamphlet a family friend once brought home for my mother to view some lovely bed linen. After all, if there’s one thing my mother is definitely purchasing, it’s bed linen. Not only does Homechoice have a focus in the bedroom department, their offering ranges all through to Fashion, Baby & Kids and Appliances. https://www.instagram.com/p/CUcBD7FMpGK/?utm_medium=copy_link One of the really great appliances which caught my eye and made sense to have life right now is the NUTRIBULLET under the Homechoice Food Preparation Appliance selection. It’s literally the one appliance that’s brought me peace of mind in ensuring I consume a healthy and filing smoothie to kick start the day. It’s eliminated the frustration of thinking long and hard about what to have, and helped me play around…
