Do you use hair masks? 🧖🏽‍♀️ The most Do you use hair masks? 🧖🏽‍♀️

The most I go out of my way in terms of hair mask is either keeping my conditioner in while dreaming in the shower or putting on a hydrating mask while shaving - also in-shower. 

So getting these @homewarestore masks were a real treat to me and made me feel legit like a bougie lady. But I quickly fell flat on my face when I failed to read the instructions correctly and took a good 10 mins getting this mask on my head… #youaretheweakestlink

These are the reasons you need to try these masks

⭐️ - They transformed my hair into Cinderella hair!
⭐️ - My hair feels less grassy and looks much more healthier. Like when you are super tired and you drink a double shot of espresso and look like an overachieving badass.
⭐️ - I have a beautiful shine 
⭐️ - And best of all, my hair feels less tangled and easier to manage.

There are two variants in the range. 
🍓Ultra Moisturising - This adds moisture back into your hair, makes it look and feel smooth, and gives it a glossy shine.
🍅Ultra Nourishing - This caters to damaged hair makes it look healthy and supply extra nutrition.

The hair essence in the cap smells sooo good and is magic in its true form. The cap is breathable, expandable, and feels like pure cotton. It did not make my head sweat and I could easily move around without having to “balance” something on my head.

I highly recommend these masks and will definitely repurchase them!

🎵🎶These are a few of my favourite things 🎵🎶

When my Dad was visiting last year he needed a new brush and hubby decided he also was in need of a new brush. So me being a good daughter and wife I bought them each a @tangleteezersouthafrica .

Not that one of them have enough hair to cause any sorts of knots, but I thought I'd spoil them. That left me wanting one too. So last month when hubby quickly popped into @clicks_sa , I sneaked a "me-brush" into the basket. Best purchase of 2020 and 2021 (so far)!

Brushing my hair, especially after washing it is 10 times easier and I want to believe there is less breakage on definitely less pain. This brush is fantastic.

Next up is the @ellipshairsa Vitamins. If you have not seen these yet, then you are missing out. They are phenomenal and I will always have a backup sleeve in the cupboard. They nourish my hair without making it feel oily or greasy and provide the most beautiful shine and smell. You get different colours for different hair concerns. A hair care must!

@invisibobble_sa is another brand you need to have in your hair care arsenal. Here is why, their hair ties are the best and I swear by them. They prevent breakage that normal hair ties attribute to and they also do not create that pony tail line. I had so many of these at a stage and somehow the gremlins have made them disappear. There is some exciting new products I eyed on the @retailboxsa and I am burning to place an order.

Scrunchies is huge at the moment and my favourite is the satin one from @hello_dear_deer . Its super luxurious and very durable, not to mention extremely cute! The other scrunchies I found in my cupboard and cannot for the life of me remember where I got them from, but I love them.

If you have never tried these screw hair clips, you are seriously missing out! Its got the most amazing grip and can bring any look together and make you look Amazing. I picked my first three up from @clicks_sa and then ordered some more from @takealotcom . You have to try them!

Today we are reviewing the last product I have fro Today we are reviewing the last product I have from the @sorbetgroup Tranquil range. The very generous 250 ml Body soufflé.

I am not one of those people who enjoy perfumed lotions / body creams. I like mine stock standard like a real plain Jane I know. But there is something about this scent that just make me want to wrap myself in it. That being said I prefer to use this at night.

Now that I am pregnant it feels like my skin is so much drier than usual, and believe me, that is a tough challenge to beat. The lotion is on the thicker side and it absorbs fast. This way I can plaster myself, smell like goddess and sleep sound knowing that my body is taken care of.

As always the packaging and scent is what is so mesmerising about this range and Sorbet did an amazing job. Please check out the one or two other products I did not include in my The Nook Trials and also check the cute storage units they have in this range. Its very high on my “need-to-want list”

It has been such a pleasure working my way through It has been such a pleasure working my way through The Sorbet Tranquil Range and down to the last two products. Today the Hand & Nail cream is up for her review and its a glowing one 🌟

If I had to pick one product from the range it would be this one. Not only does it make for an excellent gift it also performs really well.

Once again the packaging is stunning and aesthetically pleasing but Im getting so many compliments on it. Somehow this magical tube made its way to my dest at work and everyone who passes by picks it up and then proceed to use it!

I find the scent perfect as its soft and fades quickly but leaves my hands smelling so nice and clean. I also do not find that any greasiness lingers, its soaks up really fast but leaves my hands soft.

From now on I’ll pop one of these in every gift I gift cause its flippen great!

To me a sweetie pie is not just a delicious and ta To me a sweetie pie is not just a delicious and tasty treat but it also holds precious memories!

To to start it all I have to go back 10 years. Now go grab a cup of coffee cause its story time...

When Vince and I got married (next week it will be 10 years 😱) I told my mom that I do not want an expensive wedding cake cause there was so much food and it included snacks before the reception and pudding at the end. Furthermore we were lucky in the sense that our pastor's wife had a bakery. In the end our wedding cake was a huge sweetie pie and it was one off the most delicious cakes I have ever tasted!

Now for our guests we bought boxes and boxes of normal sweetie pies and they were dolled up and served as "wedding cake" - As a chocoholic I though this was genius!

Now to this day I remember my mom and myself stuffing our faces with sweetie pies while talking wedding stuff before the big day. It truly was such a special time in my life and I am grateful for the precious memories I have.

When ever I share a sweetie pie with my husband I remind myself that life is short and time is not our friend. So I intentionally think of how I want to spend my time with my husband to connect and grow closer.

How do you connect with your partner?
