Hey guyzies, I must say Revlon has been killing it when it comes
to product launches and making their products seen by
the masses lately and when a product is on a discount then it is even better.
Revlon is current running a promotion (for a limited time period)
and they have their mascara's on discount for R99.95
their normal retail price is normally R164.95
My favorites are the *Revlon Mega Multiplier (for my non existent short lashes) then
I go over it with the Super Length (to add a bit of length) because I have to add volume first
then add some length.
Check out the chart above and see where you belong because you
deserve some great lashes too.
Dischem is currently having their beauty fair, so some of them
will be even cheaper.

See you soon

Hey guyzies, hope your well and okay.
Late last year Vaseline finally launched some Vaseline
for our lips. (Hope that made sense LOL).
Vaseline® Lip Therapy® Claim
Clinically proven to help heal dry lips.
Comes in a premium steel tin inspired by our original look.
Guys I absolutely have no complaint about this one, locks in moisture
and lasts without leaving your lips feeling sticky and greasy.
Here is a tip (taken from the Vaseline sit)on how to use it,
however I doubt you need it e.
How to use
Dip your finger into the tin and scoop out just enough to cover the tip.
Spread across dry lips until absorbed as needed.
Enjoy this powerful lip reliever as it locks in your lips'
natural moisture and relieves discomfort.
If you are looking for a lip moisturizer
that is compact and long lasting try the Vaseline® Lip Therapy®

Good morning guyzies, when some said time flies
I didn't know that they were actually referring to life itself.
This time last year I had to go in hospital for an elective induced labour
because my baby was passed her due date.
There were major complications on that day and
(I will talk about them when I'm ready).
Asanda is turning 12 months tomorrow I couldn't be more blessed
to have seen time itself in progress.
Thank you for choosing me to be your Mom.

Hey guyzies, OMG I don't remember the last time I did a proper manicure and lately I have
not been loving nailpolish as it cracks during the week and I don't have time to
be re-applying it.
Then there is gel which would require me to take sometime off
(during a Saturday and Sunday to have it
applied and I just don't have the time). Yeap being a mom has taken soo much of my time and
I'm really still trying to adjust but it's soo hard to squeeze in some me time.
As I type this out on a Sunday my baby Asanda is having her afternoon nap and I thought I should add some content for Monday's post.
Anywho this post is just to say OMG press on's for me have been the IT,
I have been buying them at Clicks have been skeptical however they proved me wrong, especially the
short ones, don't sleep on them guys.
Anywho, here's to a great week.

Just a lil reminder I did a WetnWild Photofocus Foundation Review
which is up on my YouTube Channel.
I also shared my shopping experience when I picked up the foundation
at Clicks Eastgate Mall because I really wanted to get my hands on it which was just not on, a few days later I went to the Clicks at Jabulani Mall and darker shades were there planning to
pick up a lighter warmer shade later this month.
Going forward will most definitely keep my shopping local (Soweto)
which has been the way but I got bitten| by miss impulsive buyer and got to

Hello Guyzies last week I shared with you that I’m on a healthy
hair journey but I feel like we need to go back to the beginning so that I can
track my progress with you.
I have to add that my hair could be sooo much longer but
then I decided to bleach it 2 years back (June 2017 and I regretted it
immediately) now that I look back on it was the pregnancy hormones getting the
best of me, I didn’t even know I was pregnant at that time I think I was around
2 weeks 3 weeks into it. It’s been a struggle however I’m glad to say that most
of that fragile hair is now gone and I can focus on the healthy bits.

| January 2019 |
Another thing that I was hoping wouldn't happen was post-partum
shedding and thank goodness nothing huge came off,which I’m grateful.
So right now how I style my hair is in a Benny and Betty
style wash/conditioner it every two weeks and apply my hair foods and oils.
This year I would really like to wear my hair out a lot and
not depend on wigs.
I will be watching an lot of hair tutorial, and one blogger that
I have been watching is
((Miriam Maulana (Beauty & Hair Vlogger)) and I toughly enjoy hair channel and how informative it is when it comes to detailed tutorials.

recommend for me to watch?
Thank you soo much for coming through.

Review | Maybelline Super Stay 24H Full Coverage Foundation
Soweto, South Africa
I wanted to do a first impressions on the channel however I was so eager to use the foundation I went in hard on it in December and it has been a favorite since (oops gave out the verdict on my intro but let me tell you why I like it).
The claim:
Glides on for smooth, breathable wear (true)
Diminishes uneven skin tone (true)
Dermatologist tested—will not clog pores (not sure about the dermalogist part but the not clogging pores part is true)
Covers all day (eeem soo true)
The product:
Comes in a glass bottle (you know the company is serious
about this one ((because most drugstore foundations that are this price usually don't hey)), has a pump which is great for hygienic purposes. I’m pretty happy
with the overall packaging whoever the white cap does get dirty pretty quickly
but can be cleaned easily with a wiper.
My experience:
I was a bit skeptical at first I don’t know why but when I
swatched it at Dischem I knew that I am going to love it. It applied nicely and
covered my under eye dark circles. A
little goes a long way and the fact that I got it for R129.99 during a sale I’m
over the moon, normal retail price is R199.95 (LINK - SHOP HERE)
I’m pretty impressed with the foundation it comes in 28
shades
and you won’t regret your hard earned money here.

Hope your day is off to a great start, I was actually brain
storming main topics to talk about on the blog and this one was just popping up
each and every time. LOL I’m taking it as a sign that I need to start moving
and sorting out my life not only emotionally but physically.
Here is what I would like to achieve in this series:
-
An in depth understanding about myself
(emotional, physical and spiritually)
-
How to treat people around me (I tend to feel
more disconnect so I would like to learn more on building relationships with
people around me including my subbies.
-
Understand my body, the foods that will make me healthy
and the foods making me sick
-
Share my weightloss journey openly and be unapologetic about it
#wishmeluck

Hopefully we go on this journey together and find wellness.

So Dermalogica sent me a at home Rapid Reveal Peel kit few
months back and because I’m always skeptical of skincare I decided not to use
it. Then in the beginning of the year because (New Year new me) I then decided
to give this peeling product a try let us see how it went.
Because my sister is a skin care fanatic I decided to share with
her half of the products so we can see how well it works on my skin (dry skin)
her skin (oily skin) and all I can say is I’m shook with the results. Let’s
have a look:
The Claim:
removes dulling surface debris
to reveal bright, healthy-looking skin
reduces the appearance of fine
lines and smoothes skin texture
helps maintain radiant-looking results between professional peel
treatments
The product:
Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycerin, Lactic Acid, Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Fruit
Ferment Filtrate, Ethoxydiglycol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium
Hydroxide, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, Microcitrus Australasica Fruit
Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Pullulan, Lecithin, Tocopherol,
Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Sclerotium Gum, Cocamidopropyl
PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Xanthan Gum, Menthyl Lactate, Tetrasodium
Glutamate Diacetate, Vanillyl Butyl Ether, Silica, Ethylhexylglycerin,
PPG-26-Buteth-26, Citral, Geraniol, Linalool, Limonene, Phenoxyethanol
My experience:
So I have never been a fan of products that claim to brighten
because I find them to be a bit gimmicky and the ones that actually (brighten
they can actually be found at Small Street in Johannesburg and those will peel
your skin till it looks burnt LOL).
The tube might appear small but when I say a little goes a long
way I mean a little goes a long way. I did feel a slightly tingle during the
first 3 days when the product was applied to my face, however the tingly effect
did go down when I removed the product with a damp cloth on my face.
So in my experience with the Dermalogica Rapid Peel is that it does
not brighten however it does leave my face looking a bit even with a tiny glow,
which I am really pleased about.
On my experience I would say use it everyday for the 1st three
days then once a week to maintain the glow. It worked well on my dry skin and
on my sister’s oily skin. Overall I’m impressed and even though the price of R1,495.00
was making me run away from the product, this pack would last you a whole year
and because I have shared it with my sister 5 to 6 months (“,) which is not bad
at all.
Have you tried any Dermalogica products before, which ones are
your favourite?
Hope you have enjoyed my first official review for 2019 and can’t
wait to write more posts.
See you soon.

Mommy Monday | Being a Mom Juggling Me, Baby and Everything Else
Soweto, South Africa
Good morning, eish this one is a bit hard to type out because I’m
busy it’s a Saturday and Asanda has my hands full. She is at the crawling eat
everything on the floor, mommy I wanna stand but cannot stand on my own phase, cry because I feel like it stage
and I’m tired.
and I’m tired.
My first love when it comes to this social media business is
blogging and over the past year I have been struggling to find my feet again
because reviewing products day in and out was no longer cutting it for me,
because I have evolved as a person.
Sometimes we need to be honest with ourselves in terms of where we are in life and the things we still need to fulfill. As a new Mom I sometimes forget that
and I want to loose weight now, get this now do this now and
it can be very overwhelming sometimes.
and I want to loose weight now, get this now do this now and
it can be very overwhelming sometimes.
Eeem being a mom is hard and when it comes
to having a blog, youtube situation it does get tricky. My sister
currently takes care of my baby during the week and I can’t be asking her to take
care of the baby while I do a quick tutorial for my YouTube Channel over weekends because that would be pushing it. Whether I like it or not my hobby is now my part time job as it does bring in a
few rands every now and then which means I have to be smart about it and do
laundry at night take pictures at work
and all but I have to make it work.
and all but I have to make it work.
Not to overwhelm myself but I think the following will apply on the
blog going forward.
Monday (Mommy Monday, Tuesday something about skincare, Wednesday Wellbeing,
Thursday Hair, Friday beauty and when I’m feeling extra I will throw in a post
on Saturday and Sunday).
Then the YouTube Schedule will be as follows: (Monday Makeup I
wore at work, Wednesday a review, Friday another review and demo).
Since I’m putting it out there I truly hope that this comes into flourishing
and I keep my focus going (because I don’t want another panic attack LOL).
See you soon guys.

Good morning, I would like to touch on the word lust (greed, greediness,
desire, craving, covetousness, eagerness, keenness, avidness, avidity,
cupidity, longing, yearning, hunger, thirst, appetite, hankering "a lust
for power").
Lust: Lust is a psychological force producing intense wanting for an object,
or circumstance fulfilling the emotion. Lust can take any form such as the lust
for sexuality, money or power.
We live in a generation of instant
gratification and if we do not get it now as in now now now, then oooh boy we
get depressed and start assuming even a small thing like your boyfriend or
friend not responding instantly to a message we start assuming the worst.
When is that going to stop!? Is it ever going to stop!?
When is that going to stop!? Is it ever going to stop!?

I would like to share with you a few
quotes that over LUST that
will make you ponder a bit:
Have a blessed Sunday further.
will make you ponder a bit:
Have a blessed Sunday further.
“I envy people that know love.
That have someone who takes them as they are.”
― Jess C Scott, The Devilin Fey
“If they substituted the word
'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged
Journals of Sylvia Plath
“I hunger for your sleek laugh
and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams
flaring in your beauty.”
― Pablo Neruda
“Most of all, I hate you because
I think of you. Often. It's disgusting, and I can't stop.”

Good morning, I hope your Saturday is off to a great start, I
wanted to interrupt regular programing to bring to you a life event that occurred
last week Sunday around midnight when I actually thought I was dying.
So midnight all I heard around my chest area was a huge (guuuu
sound) and then I had a major sharp pain. I couldn’t scream nor do anything and
on my right hand side was my baby Asanda and I just began praying and crying.
Went to the kitchen drank some water and still the pain would not
let go. I laid there in the dark wondering what this huge pain was and fell
asleep (as I type this I'm like yeah right Zanele sleeping while your dying must be nice). As I woke up in the morning to go to work the pain was just too much to
bare so I went to the doctor.
I get to the doctor and the first thing that she asked me was “how
old was I?” and replied 29 as I continued to tell the doctor about this huge pain and
she laughed it off slightly and said that was a PANIC ATTACK, me no why, never.
So as I write this now I know what triggered the panic attack that
Sunday and it was news from a very close person in my life that brought me pain
last year and I guess I haven’t yet healed from that situation and this situation will take me time to heal.
3 Things I Take Away From My First Panic Attack
1. Identify the trigger (why did I go to bed
feeling hurt to the point that my body and brain were still in shock from the
situation)
2. Don’t
take it personally (because these news triggered me then my day was ruined and couldn’t function anymore, situation has occurred and there is
nothing I can do about it.
3. Being More Self-aware (I’m glad that I
actually identified the actual trigger of the situation and next time will handle
my mini attack a bit better).
In coming weeks will go more in self-awareness because
it has to
deal with growth of the mind, because this year we
are not only growing in years but mentally as well.
See you soon

into being a working/playing/blogging Mom in tomorrow’s post
today we just sharing goals:

pageviews a day my current being +/-5 00 pageviews #wishmeluck)

bloggers (Written in-depth pieces not just random
meaningless blogposts).

from my reality and would like to keep it that way.
