  • Ultimate Bedroom Comfort with Homechoice

    Ultimate Bedroom Comfort with Homechoice

    Ultimate Bedroom Comfort with Homechoice

    When I married my Mr M, and I moved in, I received , what I thought back then, the most peculiar advise. It was to invest in a great bed and bedding. With a bit of life experience behind me and more growing pains with age, it all makes sense now. Let’s discover the Ultimate Bedroom Comfort with Homechoice.

    I have been slowly upgrading our bedding to match our current needs of comfort and I was spoiled for choice with the Ultimate Bedroom Comfort with Homechoice! One thing I learned from searching for some duvet inners is that Homechoice definitely has the biggest selection of bedding online. I thought I’d share a little round-up of the 3 duvet inners I got to try – just in case anyone else may be in search of quality bedding.

    Comfort Collections

    I’ve longed for the fluffiest duvet inners like the ones you find at those beautiful lux hotels. The ones that ingulf you when you lay on top of it because its just so puffy! I got to pick 3 duvet inners to test out and create the ultimate bedroom comfort with Homechoice

    Homechoice bedding is made from quality fabrics that are ideal for any season. Enjoy the freshness of polycotton in winter and polar fleece bedding sets for winter.

    Four Season Duvet Inner

    Tinaco Feather/Down All Seasons Duvet Sets

    This versatile bedding solution consists of two duvet inners with different togs, which you can use together or separately to provide the perfect level of cosiness and comfort in any season. I love that we can match our level of comfort with the all-season flexibility. Another added bonus is that this duvet inner is Hypoallergenic, which is certainly ideal for us!

    Here’s how it works: You get a light duvet inner for summer and a medium-weight inner for autumn and spring. Simply clip the two together for ultimate warmth in winter. A blend of larger duck feathers and smaller, finer duck down ensures soft, warm cosiness that is naturally insulating.

    Who this will work for: Ideal for hot sleepers, cold sleepers, and in-between season. Definitely the most versatile of the bunch!

    Year Round Duvet Inner

    Morgan Microfibre All Seasons Duvet Sets

    This versatile microfibre bedding solution consists of two duvet inners with different togs, which you can use together or separately to provide the perfect level of cosiness and comfort in any season. Simply attach the two inners with the snap button closure.

    Here’s how it works: You get a light duvet inner for summer and a medium-weight inner for autumn and spring. Simply clip the two together for ultimate warmth in winter. This is ideal for warm and cool sleepers and seasons.

    Who will this work for: Made from fillings such as microfibre (an extra-fine polyester yarn) and hollowfibre (which is slightly thicker and warmer), synthetic duvets are designed to mimic the luxurious feel of natural-filled duvets, but with the benefit of being hypoallergenic and less expensive.

    Final Thoughts

    Man, oh man. I wish I could thank whoever gave us that sound advise, somewhat 8 years ago because good quality bedding = good quality sleep, which is essential for our health.

    With so much variety to choose from Homechoice really does have something for everyone. The quality is incredible, the service is timely and the options are endless.

    Enjoy A Good Night’s Sleep With Homechoice‘s Range Of Premium-Quality Duvets & Bedding.

  • We Still on the K-Beauty Train…

    We Still on the K-Beauty Train…

    So it seems I wasn’t wrong about the K-Beauty world and the fact that everyone is pretty keen to try it out for themselves! If you missed my initial K-beauty haul and introduction into Korean beauty, you can read about it here. I have been getting a few requests asking about where we can purchase such products. Well never fear when the Guru is near, I got you covered ladies!

    I have listed below a few South African online stores to get your hands on some K-Beauty products. I have personally only shopped at one, but rest assured that I have stalked and sussed out each and every website and Instagram page of all of them so that you can have a breezy and hassle free shopping experience without the stress of getting scammed!

    So here it is beauties your 5 online stores to K-Beauty Heaven!

    Luxe Loft -I got my first K-beauty haul from Luxe Loft and it was lovely! The online store is easy to navigate, prices are fabulous (you may find it cheaper here than other places) delivery time is quick and the stock most k-beauty brands! oh and an added bonus- You get a free sample with every purchase!

    K-Beauty Africa– They stock limited K-beauty brands, that being JOneLindsay, Caolin, Leegeehaam, Klairs, Suntique and Laneige, but it is definately the top brands of the K-Beauty world. Delivery time is nice and quick, 3-4 days, that’s definitely a win for me!

    Glow Theory– Well lets just start by saying that if you sign up to the Glow Club you receive R100 your first order- Score! What I love about this store is that they offer little starter kits, so if you are keen to try but not really wanting to commit to purchasing a full sized product, you can purchase a starter kit to get a nice little introduction into the k-beauty world. They have a great selection of brands to browse through too!

    Koreanbeauty.co.za– Ooo, another sweet deal! If you sign up, you get a 5% discount code for 1st time purchases- always a win! This online store definately has a lot more ‘gimmicky’ stuff than the others. Search for The Blackhead Silk Finger Ball thing, which by the way, I’m super keen to try- then you will understand what I mean.

    Samika Store This online store is definitely a higher end one but  apart from stocking K-Beauty products they too stock make-up brands like Morphe, Kylie Cosmetics, Huda Beauty and many more! What I absolutely love about this online store is they sell K-Beauty sets too! For instance they have the Laneige Water Bank Cream set or the Missha Mini Set (That will probably be my next k-beauty haul) and sometimes even limited edition sets. I can totally see myself spending an obnoxious amount of money at this store, but like it said before- No Ragrets! (Yes, I purposely spelt it wrong because… just read why here)

    Have you purchased from any of these store before?

    How was your experience and what did you splurge on?

    Would love to hear from you!
    Till next time!

    Let me just start by saying I’m  a sucker for all things cute and gimicy.
    Cute packaging? “Sold!” If it has the word ‘Mini’ in it-  “Put ’em in my basket please!”

    Yip, Im that person!

    So did my need for all things cutesey cloud my judgment on my recent beauty haul? Maybe a little.. But I dont care because I have been itching to get my hands on some K-Beauty products and that I did!

    Korean Beauty is slowly becoming the ultimate regime for soft, glowing skin. K- beauty routines focus on perfecting the appearance of your skin, to have you looking healthy and glowy, therefore, makeup application is kept light and minimal.

    K-Beauty Mini Haul

    Korean skincare and makeup products are well beyond most western technology and the quality and innovation of Korean products supersedes many popular western brands we use today. A proper K-beauty routine takes time and commitment but rest assured your skin will see the results.

    My mini K-beauty haul consisted of the TonyMoly and the too cool for school brands. The packaging is just adorable and as for the products, pretty damn impressed to say the least! So here is what I bought:

    TonyMoly Pocket Bunny Mist

    Bunny Gloss Bar – ( Retails for R100 ) Pocket Bunny Mist (Retails for R180)  from Luxe Loft

    This packaging is just!! (Insert heart-eyed emoji) How could you not want to own these adorable little bunnies, especially the sad faced one!? The Pocket Bunny Hydrating Mist is amazing. It is infused with raspberry, strawberry, peach, and baobab tree extracts for long lasting hydration. Created with the celtic waters from the French park Vosges du Nord, your skin will receive ample nutrition though the included minerals.

    It’s beautiful fragrance adds to the delicate mist when sprayed on your face. I like to apply it after I’ve cleansed my face in the morning and sometimes in the evening for a little extra hydration. My skin is feeling so dry lately and this is the perfect little added hydration that it needs. It’s also great to use throughtout the day just to give your skin a little wake me up leaving it dewy and fresh!

    The Petite Bunny Gloss Bar

    Look at that Shimmer!

    The Petite Bunny Gloss Bar is the cutest little gloss you could possibly own!  It leaves a delicate gloss on your lips. It’s not an overpowering gloss at all which is suitable to use on a daily basis and it leaves your lips feeling super soft too!

    Too Cool For School Jelly Blusher:

    IMG 20180907 181425
    too cool for school Jelly Blusher- Cherry Squeeze (Retails for R150) from Luxe Loft

    Another brand that caught my eye was the too cool for school k- beauty brand. I added to my cart, this cute little blusher tin because I was intrigued on seeing what a jelly blusher looked and felt like. Upon recieving it, my first reaction was, “OMG I paid R150 bucks for this little itsy bitsy tin!” No guys, it’s small…

    The images on the website make it look bigger then what it actually is, but I quickly got over my little panic attack when I slid opened the tin to find the softest most squishiest cream like blusher I had ever seen and felt! The texture is incredible, the pigment is glorious and the colour on the skin is perfection! Well worth the ka-ching!

    Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch

    I had seen these lip patches all over Hollywood A-listers lips and I knew I needed to try it for myself.  The oversized gummy looking patch is a once-only gel lip mask and promises to make lips smooth, soft and kissable.

    IMG 20180910 213909
    Kiss Kiss Lip Patch (Retails for R50)

    Once out of the pack it was a little hard to manoeuvre into place as it’s quite a slippery little sucker. As indicated, the lip patch should be left on for 20 minures before removing, leaving your lips soft and moisturised.

    Well, it hydarted my lips in the slightest but that was pretty much it.. No plumpiness or softness what-so-ever. My lips are super dry, so maybe it’s not ideal for the super dry lips, but it was fun to take photos with!

    Apart from the lip patch, I have been loving the products so far!
