It is incredible how certain items evoke such a sense of nostalgia! That said, who can remember what their first wristwatch was? Mine was a metallic digital watch. Back then, I thought I was super fancy and very en-vogue!
[Read more…]Top Tips For The Best Online Shopping Experience
It is difficult to remember a life without online shopping! While lockdown in South Africa was terrible in so many ways, one of the positives was the increased availability of online commerce. You can buy almost anything online, and most retailers have considerably expanded their offerings. One of my go-to online destinations, for everything from fashion to home decor, is Superbalist.com.

My eyes are extremely light-sensitive, so wearing Sunglasses is a must for me. I have owned many pairs over the years, from super expensive brands to rather inexpensive ones. Of late other priorities have meant that a new pair of sunnies is quite far down the list. Needless to say, when Slaughter & Fox approached me to try out a pair of their sunglasses, I was not going to turn down the offer! [Read more…]

Christmas is one of my favourite times of year! I love the beautifully adorned shop windows and carols that welcome you as you enter – all helping you get into the festive spirit! A big frustration at this time of year, however, are the maddening crowds. If you, like me, prefer to get an early start on Christmas, I have great news! @home is running a Big Breville Celebration, from 19 October to 25 December 2015.
Big Breville Celebration
The Big Breville Celebration offers customers amazing discounts! One item which immediatley caught my eye {you know how much I love coffee} is the Breville Bean to Cup espresso machine. During the sale you can get R1 200 off the espresso machine -awesome don’t you agree!
The Big Breville Celebration offers great price cuts on premium Breville kitchen appliances, from juicers, to blenders, to toasters with discounts ranging from R200 to R1 200.

Get Festive with Boardmans and Win!
{Entries are Closed}
I am sure not what type of gifts are on your Christmas Wishlist but I am big homeware fanatic! Don’t get me wrong a beautiful bracelet would not go amiss but gadgets and decor items are much more my thing. We are also in the process of renovating, so I am always on the lookout for new and different decor pieces to add to my living spaces.
When it comes to buying gifts for others, I always try to buy something useful, as well as something the person would really love. I love the fact that most retailers now have an online shop because although I love Christmas, I am not mad about over-crowded shops!
You may have seen the Gift Guide which I have been compiling, which I think is very useful, especially if you have no clue what to buy for someone! There are gift ideas to suit the whole family, ranging from gifts under R100, to the more luxury items that may very well break the bank! One of the shops which I have included in my Gift Guide, is Boardmans. They have a great selection of home decor items, gadgets, appliances, linen, as well as outdoor items.
Something which has been at the top of my Christmas wish list forever is an Ice Cream Maker! I have been wanting one for so long but somehow the more practical gadgets always seem to take precedence! The Morphy Richards Ice Cream Maker above from Boardmans is stunning and would be the ideal gadget for summer – who knows maybe someone will surprise me this year *hint hint* 🙂 I really cannot wait to try my hand at homemade coconut ice cream, which is my favourite.
Other items on my list are perhaps a bit more practical, such as a new toaster, a new set of stainless steel cookware and I would love a new set of knives! {All items available from Boardmans: DeLonghi White Icona Toaster R1299.95, Jamie Oliver Stainless Steel 5 Piece Cookware Set R1999.96, Jamie Oliver 6 piece Block Set R1599.96}
In the spirit of giving and being festive, the lovely folk at Boardmans have decided to treat one of our amazing readers to a Boardmans voucher worth R1000. It is up to you how to spend it – whether you decided to treat yourself to a special Christmas something or spoil your loved ones.
