April 2018
Hey guys hope your Sunday is going as best as it can. Sunday posts here on the blog are now fast becoming a place for me to share with you current affairs (i.e. things happening on tv, my life and other rambles that might affect the blog this coming week).
This week is no different, my grandmother passed away this week (aaah I’m emotional now) and we are busy preparing for her funeral. A lot of things have been prepared and all is going well no stress. Unlike the stress I felt when my sisters and I had to prepare for our Mom’s funeral a lot of lessons were learnt from there (and if you would like for me to share with you a list of things you need to prepare for a funeral please tell because I would like to help someone else).
I have scheduled posts for this coming week as things will be hectic on the home front.
Our Grandmother will be laid to rest on Saturday 28th April at Avalon Cemetery.
Grandma was all for celebrating life so I don’t want to make this post sad so I share with you quotes cause to be honest your Grandma is your true protector (why do I say this? Because Grandma is at home taking care of you while Mom goes to work).
“But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face.
Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking.
But behind all your stories
is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.”
― Mitch Albom, For One More Day
My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute my success in life
to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.”
― George Washington
“My mom smiled at me. Her smile kind of hugged me.”
― R.J. Palacio, Wonder
“I don't know what it is about food your mother makes for you, especially when it's something that anyone
can make - pancakes, meat loaf, tuna salad - but it carries a certain taste of memory.”
― Mitch Albom
“You are evidence of your mother's strength, especially if you are a rebellious knucklehead and regardless
she has always maintained her sanity.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy
We will always LOVE YOU

“There is nothing in this life that can destroy you but yourself. Bad things happen to everyone, but when they do, you can't just fall apart and die. You have to fight back. If you don't, you're the one who loses in the end. But if you do keep going and fight back, you win.”

Hey guys, did you see my title I think it would make for a really good
YouTube Title what do you guys think.
Bramley products are not new on the blog and today I share with you something new from the Bramley Magnolia range their scented Cleansing Wipes
which just recently launched.
I’m all for affordable wipes because I go through them really fast
I’m all for affordable wipes because I go through them really fast
I’m just hoping that they are actually well moisturised and don’t leave my skin feeling dry,
let us see what Bramley has to say about the product.
THE CLAIM:
“Bramley Magnolia scented wet wipes are packed with soothing ingredients to help cleanse and refresh the skin”.
MY THOUGHTS:
Guys I seriously want to do a first impression YouTube post on this one, which I will do because I really want to start making serious visual content. I’m happy with the price R12.99 and that inside the pack you get 30 wipes, will I repurchase them…. Make sure you are SUSCRIBED TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.
See you soon!!!

Hey guys, hope all is well and okay, for the next three days I’m like let me post about NEW IN items that I recently got through PR because I will be trying them soon and I would like to take pics of them while they are still you know in there great condition, so that we can always have a point of reference and we get to try all the products together.
Today we are getting to know the *FINO SMOOTH products, the first product that I know from them is their After Waxing and Shaving Balm/Moisturiser, when you are pregnant and need to go to the Gynae a lot you will need a product like this cause there is a lot of shaving and waxing that happen during that period, your skin will need to be protected.
THE CLAIM:
FINO SOOTHE claims “is a synergistic blend of natural
VITAMIN A and FRUIT ENZYMES. It is quickly absorbed, leaving no greasy residue,
and does not stain clothing.
Suitable (for use after all types of hair removal).
Suitable (for use after all types of hair removal).
MY EXPERIENCE & VERDICT
The product comes in a tube pack, I’m sure you can see from
the pics dah?! On my first application I squirted and a whole huge quantity on
my hand, and made it hard for it to emulsify on my skin, so I learned earlier on
that a little/pea sized squirt goes a long way. There is a scent to the product and does
tingle a bit on first application after that it was fine, even though the
product does not contain any alcohol.
Today however we are sharing the FINO SOOTHE MAN, which is
currently being tested by my nephew Lonwabo he is surely coming through these
days, I love it.
FINO SOOTHE claims to be a unique soothing balm after
shaving or waxing. Helps combat ingrown hair and minimise razor bump and burn.
Suitable for all skin types. Calms and moisturises tender skin. Assists in
relief of dry itchy skin and other post hair removal irritations. Can be used
on sensitive skin.
The ingedianets look quite similar to the FINO SOOTHE Women
so it will be interesting to find out how it works on my nephews skin.
