I thought I had said all there is to say about Boyz II Men in previous posts but last night proved that they’re the masters of reinvention. The previous show I attended was very chilled, the kind of show that you would expect with their music. Most people were seated throughout, it was mellow and felt like you were in your room listening to their cassette or CD. Not last night, no. Last night was electrifying in ways that I didn’t expect and I welcomed it with open arms.  When we arrived, Mr Phix It was on stage playing mostly 90’s R&B and hip-hop, which was the perfect vibe for the e ..read more

I haven’t done a skincare review in a hot minute and it has been mainly because I haven’t found anything worth writing about. Until now, of course. Neutriherbs reached out to me to find out if I’d be interested in trialing their Vitamin C Brightening & Glow Facial Kit and I was curious to see the results. The kit consists of a Vitamin C brightening & glow daily facial cleanser, enhanced Vitamin C serum with hyaluronic acid, and Vitamin C brightening & glow cream. I was tasked with using this kit for a month and had to take daily selfies, to document my progress. If you like selfies ..read more

Have you ever listened to a song, at a certain period of your life, and felt like it was written for you? Or, if you knew how to put it in words, that would be exactly what you would’ve said? I have bad days and sometimes they get really bad. On this particular day, I overheard my husband listening to one of his favourite tracks and it just felt like I was punched in the gut. Bear in mind, this is a song he listened to several times but this is the first time I actually really listened. The words were as follows: I can’t find myself, I get lost inside my brain I think I might need help but I ..read more

There are certain artists that are synonymous with cleaning your house and Tamia is top of the list for a lot of South Africans. So many songs of hers have a special place in my heart as they helped me through heartbreak and house cleaning alike. My current favorite is Still as I recently got married and the words really resonate with me. “Usually when two people are together for a long time Things seem to change It’s been said nothing good lasts forever but this love gets better every day We get all excited inside every time that we get alone He still got love in his eyes, and I still got lov ..read more
