Father’s Day 2017 is less than a week away, and if you haven’t got the foggiest idea what to buy that special someone in your life, I thought I would share a few of my ideas. [Read more…]
Yuppiechef The Gift of Giving
Competition entries are CLOSED!
Yuppiechef is one of my favourite online homeware stores! This is mainly because I love cooking and fancy myself as a bit of a kitchen diva! I simply love having all the latest kitchen equipment and gadgets! When I was invited to a media morning at Yuppiechef HQ I was, yes you guessed it – excited!
Yuppiechef
As well as being my go-to website, for anything for my own home, it is also my favourite when I am looking for gifts for others. I always tell my friends and family if they are unsure what to buy me – make it a Yuppiechef voucher! Their website is user-friendly and well designed. This makes it easy to navigate and find what you are looking for. They have a fabulous selection of homeware goodies and all the gadgets any self respecting kitchen diva should own! Their service is top-notch and the personalised note, which you receive with your purchase is a great touch 🙂
If you have visited my Gift Guide, you will know that Yuppiechef offer great gift soloutions, which include Gift Boxes. A recent addition to their offering is the Yuppiechef FOMOBOX, which is a monthly subscription box. Each month subscribers receive a hand-picked range of different food products. Products include coffee, biscuits, snacks, ingredients, craft beer and wine. As a subscriber, you’ll also get to try latest releases and products new to the market.
Media Morning
Our morning started off with coffee and a delicious breakfast. After which we were treated to a look behind the scenes. It was really great to meet some of the people who run this fantastic operation, as well as finding out what keeps a successful business like Yuppiechef ticking over.
After our tour each of us had the opportunity of packing a personalised gift, for a special someone in our life. Essentially giving something back!

On My Birthday Wishlist
I do not know many people who do not like birthdays! Yes, it signifies another year passed and getting older but for me, it means getting to act like a kid again! Blowing out candles, opening gifts and best of all bossing everyone around for a day. I probably do that anyway, but at least now I have a licence to do it! I thought it would be fun to share a few of the things on my Birthday Wishlist. [Read more…]
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.

Disclosure Ranking:2
Modern Muse by Estee Lauder
As I may have mentioned before one of my favourite types of events to attend, are beauty events, especially if it is for a brand I am not familiar with! I find this is a great way to find out more about products, which I may not necessarily have tried before. One such event I attended recently was hosted by Estee Lauder, at the elegant Mount Nelson Hotel.
Before we got into the nitty-gritty of the Estee Lauder makeup products, we were introduced to Lauders recently launched fragrance Modern Muse, which has fast become my favourite scent for 2013!
The beautiful Lulu Ndevu, from Estee Lauder first explained the philosophy behind their new fragrance. Personally I love the strap line of Modern Muse – “Be an Inspiration” – which ties in so amazingly with my own philosophy, as a modern woman!
