SSB Naturals: product review
I LOVE organic self-care products. The lush fresh natural fragrances and textures can be so uplifting. SSB Naturals sent me some of their products to trial for the purpose of this review. They use shea butter which is amazing for top to toe, along with...
Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Haircare: review
When I was newly natural, I read-up on natural oils that were good for hair and skin. One oil I wanted to try was Tahitian Monoi. I visited a few shops that sold organic oils but no one knew what I was talking about. Eight years later and Monoi Oil can be...
Revive 5 Hair Oil: review
I’m a fan of Boucleme haircare. It was probably the first hair care brand I used where all the products worked for me. My curls weren’t weighed down. The curl definition, elasticity and shine were perfection. I’ve used most of their products, including...
Barry M Deluxe Metals Eyeshadow Palette: review
The glitzy season is here again, Christmas. Makeup is all about the drama, shine and sparkle. Personally, I love a bit of metallic shine. It really brightens my eyes and gives a more youthful look. Some time ago, I received a goodie bag after a...
Beaker Creatures™ Liquid Reactor Super Lab: review
I’m grateful to Learning Resources for the years of fun we had with their Magic Moves® wand. It kept me sane and my toddler boy happy, but it feels like a lifetime ago. In the years since, I have seen the brand develop more amazing products like maps and...
The Little Reindeer who would: Big Dreamers dream big

There are countless memorable moments in life that happens we are still in our pyjamas. Think of your first kiddie sleep-over, for me it was Christmas. It’s not Christmas for me unless I have new sleepwear. At our house, have pyjama days on occasion. You...

Teksta 360 Robotic Pup Review
The kids have been bugging hubby and me for a pet. They are partial to a puppy, but guess who would be taking puppy for a walk while they are at school? Me of course, so, I’m pleased that the toy market is offering robotic pets. They are lovable without...
As I Am Long and Luxe Growash: review
I first tried As I Am a few years ago, when I picked it the Coconut Cowash at a natural hair product exchange. My curls loved the product. There was enough slip to detangle in the bath, and moisturizing enough to make my curls ping. Since then, I’ve tried...
