When we received a range of Iwori skincare/body products for the last ECmeetup we were super excited because the products are vegan, cruelty free and made with sustainability in mind. Although the products are aimed at women I asked Rob (he’s the husband for those new around these parts, to try it out with me, just for funsies)

I often opt to buy skincare products that all three of us can use, we just go for natural and gentle and then don’t have to have mamma bear, pappa bear and baby bear shelves in the bathroom (obviously some things are bought to our specific needs – and for hygienic reasons[like separate toothbrushes and rollon-] – but in general, we try to enjoy a fuss free existence… All for one and one lotion for all)

I don’t know a single human woman who doesn’t get super annoyed at their hair. Everyone I know has wanted to just shave it off, do some extreme treatment or buy a weeks worth of wigs. I often start wondering if relaxer isn’t the way to go, straighten this mess and see what happens…luckily for me I follow many local ladies with enviable curls who make me stick to my guns and stay away from the cream crack (relaxer)

One such local hair guru is Racquel from The Curls Factory her hair is incredible and she does really cool reviews. I asked her for tips for keeping my hair healthy and this is what she had to share

In celebration of its 21st anniversary, MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet has launched the ’21 years of Giving Back’ campaign which is basically them giving away R2.1 million to 21 worthy causes. You have until the end of February to nominate any South African charity that matters to you. Then in May, 21 winning beneficiaries will be chosen from the list of nominations to each receive R100 000, and the supporters who nominated them will each receive a R1 000 Woolies Giftcard.

This is all pretty awesome right! But why go through the trouble of entering a competition when the bulk of the money does not come to you?

Well, I visited the charity of my choice, Aurora Special Care Centre, this week and flip the way I hope you guys vote for them!!!

I have a few cleaning tips for those women who have to somehow shoehorn housekeeping into their homebased work day. I realise that stay at home moms work really hard aswell, infact, I did a post about housewives like my mom, not too long ago, but this one is aimed at the small business owner or remote working moms. Those whose offices are a little too close to the unfolded laundry.

While everyone in my age group seems to be inspired by Marie Kondo and have gone into super organised mode, I’m barely keeping my head above water. I worked through the holiday period and the person who usually helps with cleaning has resigned, so I’ve had to learn to be a little more domestic.

In response to racial furor online – local and internationally – I see a lot of people say that they don’t see the problem in these issues because they are “colour blind” every one is the same in their eyes sooooo , ja they don’t “get the fuss”

I just wanted to weigh in and say sorry/not sorry but I’m not colour blind.

This post is a long time coming. Sometime last year a mom I’m friends with shared a Unicorn Bark picture on her Facebook page, in fact she shared a bunch of Unicorn themed things because she is so extra (in the best way possible) and was hosting a Unicorn party for her daughter

I asked her to share the Unicorn Bark recipe with us because, we’re all a little Extra over here…
