Good skin never gets old ⏰✨
Introducing the new Eucerin Hyaluron Filler Epicelline® Serum that promises to #ReverseTheAgeClock

Did you know dermatologists recommend that we start using anti-ageing skincare products in our 20s before the major signs of ageing start to appear?
Prevention is better than cure so I’m letting you in on my newly discovered skincare secret.

This serum reactivates the skin's youth genes 🧬 and visibly reduces signs of ageing with:
• One powerful active epigenetic ingredient called Epicelline®
• The 1st skin-specific Patented Age Clock Technology
• Hydrating hyaluronic acid

2025 is the year for youthful skin, no matter your age!

Peppermint crisp tart🍫 | A quick & easy #ProudlySouthAfrican dessert for #HeritageDay because ain’t nobody got time to slave away in the kitchen for hours (unless it’s for breyani 🤤). If you’re like me and don’t have an electric mixer, you can still do it.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
* 250ml - 500ml whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks
* 2 packets of Tennis biscuits (although you will probably use less)
* 1 tin of caramel treat (original or mint flavoured)
* 2 mint chocolate slabs (any type that’s to your liking)

METHOD
1. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form
2. Mix the caramel treat in a separate bowl to soften and ensure smooth texture
3. Fold caramel treat into whipped cream
4. Grate the peppermint chocolate and mix some into the caramel cream mixture
5. Arrange a layer of biscuits on the bottom of the tart dish. Break the biscuits into smaller pieces to fill in any gaps.
6. Spread half the caramel cream mixture evenly across the biscuits
7. Repeat with a second layer of biscuits and the remainder of the caramel cream mixture
8. Sprinkle the remaining grated chocolate over the top
9. Allow to set in the fridge for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight and enjoy!

We take care of ourselves - our dishwashers deserve the same love 🫧

A dirty appliance can’t clean properly, so once a month I reset mine with the Dr. Beckmann Dishwasher Express Cleaner. It helps remove grease, limescale and residue so your dishes are actually clean (clearer glasses & fresher-smelling dishes), and your dishwasher keeps running the way it should. Easy, effective and now a non-negotiable part of my routine ✨

Find it at selected Checkers stores and Pick n Pay.

I’ve never believed that wearing busyness as a badge of honour was a flex. Society and corporate culture constantly push the narrative that if you aren’t exhausted, you aren’t working hard enough… but I’ve always seen it differently.

I believe in working hard, being ambitious, and building your dreams. I believe there are seasons that demand a lot from us, including working long hours in pursuit of something important. But I refuse to believe that entirely sacrificing your physical or mental health, relationships, hobbies, or your peace is the price of admission.

It took stepping away, pivoting, and bumping my head in both corporate and independent spaces to realise that choosing a balanced pace in a world obsessed with hyper-productivity might feel radical, yet these 5 mindset shifts are what carry me forward:

1. Rest isn’t a reward for finishing work, it’s a requirement | You don’t need to earn the right to pause. Holistic health (mind and body) is the foundation of everything else.

2. Stepping away or regrouping isn’t failure | Whether you choose to pivot, pause, or permanently leave an environment that threatens your peace, choosing your wellbeing is wisdom, not a step back.

3. Building anything sustainable takes time | You can’t rush the foundation phase. Trusting the quiet period where you’re refining your skills and strategy is what keeps everything from collapsing later.

4. Your worth isn’t tied to your output | You are a full human being, not just a producer of deliverables or revenue. Building a rich, intentional life outside of the grind makes you better at everything you do.

5. Success on your own terms is the ultimate goal | Building a life that feels good on the inside will always beat building a career that only looks good on paper.

Don’t let a fast-paced world make you feel guilty for honouring your own rhythm. ✨

Send this to a friend who is navigating their own career pivot right now. 🤍

Some places don’t need an itinerary, just good weather and time to wander 🤍

If you’re ever in Cape Town, spend a slow day in Kalk Bay. Harbour views, fresh fish & chips, colourful little streets, ocean air, cute cafés and the kind of sunsets that don’t look real.

Stops from this day: • Kalky’s for fish & chips
• Cape to Cuba for cocktails
• Wandering through the harbour & side streets • Olympia Bakery for pastries
• A dip in Dalebrook tidal pool & the ocean. 
Saving this for your next Cape Town trip would be a good idea 😉
I’m def going back to explore more!

Have you been to Kalk Bay?

The fur. The gloves. The audacity. Attitude? Non-negotiable.
From the elevator to the carpet - it was never about Miranda’s approval. It was about belonging in the same frame all along.

The world is our Runway. Yes, you & I.
Welcome, darling. 🖤✨

My villain era has a corner office, a Runway cover and apparently Miranda Priestly’s approval. Finally. 😈😎✨

Happiness is often edible 🍴🤍
Joy can come in the form of calories and for good #IndianFood, we aren’t complaining 😊

Taste of Punjab Sunninghill offers authentic, traditional Indian Punjabi cuisine - no frills, no fuss, just delicious food and value for money.

What are you digging into first? 🤤

On our table:

Starters
• Complimentary poppadoms with two dipping sauces/ chutneys.
• Samoosa chaat - R60. Samoosas topped with chickpeas, freshly chopped onion, green & tamarind chutney and chilled yogurt. My first try and I get the chaat hype now, I’ll be back for more.
• Masala dosa - R85. A South Indian crispy rice pancake filled with delicately spiced potato.

Mains
• Lamb thali - R190. Lamb curry, chicken curry and dal. Served with rice, pickle, sambals, raita, 1 naan or 2 roti’s, yellow dal fry and dessert (kheer).
Great for sharing and trying a few different dishes.
• Lamb vindaloo with rice - R182. Originating in Goa, it packs a punch so if you like some heat like me, it’s a winner. 🌶️
• Garlic naan - R25. It’s not complete without this to soak up the aromatic vindaloo gravy.

Dessert
• Kheer - an Indian rice pudding (part of the thali).
• Soji - R40. A comforting, well-known semolina pudding garnished with almonds, cashews and pistachios.

Life is too short to wait for others before you start living 🤍

Joy on your own is just as important as joy shared with community. The solo trip. The solo meal. The solo adventure. All of it is worth it.

Don’t wait for anyone to live the life you desire. You don’t want to be 70, looking back and saying “I wish I did that thing.”
Do the thing.
