As much as Summer causes my heart to skip a few beats, I cannot deny that deep down, Spring is my weakness. It isn’t only the arrival of just-right weather, the many picnics, sitting down by the beach and not getting sunburned that gets me excited but it is what this season begins to represent.

I love seeing these amazing artworks, the details are fantastic and this one certainly evokes as much emotion as a picture probably would.
I love this kimono from from Cotton On because it is incredibly lightweight but offers the perfect amount of coverup. And while this looks like more of a summer staple, you could certainly wear this with a turtleneck in winter and still be able to pull it off.
I am also wearing these white jeans that I can’t believe still has remained stain-free although I don’t know how long this will last , because I am really bad with keeping whites white, unfortunately. I also love these lace-up flats because even though I don’t wear heels, I don’t need to compromise on my style. Isn’t is super cool that flats are actually trendy now?
Oh , and this Joseph Ribkoff Bag? It is absolutely everything!
Summer is the best but Winter is kinda cool too (literally as well, I guess) so you can bet I am looking forward to pulling my boots and jackets from storage. Well, that is if Durban actually decides to give us some cooler weather this year.

If you really think about it , our hair goes through quite a bit on a day-to-basis. It experiences all kinds of damage that can be caused from curling, flat-ironing, colouring, styling – especially those bad days when we literally just throw it into a messy bun and leave it to fend for itself.
You know what I am talking about. Right?
Many times we don’t really think of our hair like we do our skin. We have an entire skincare range to cater for the needs of our face but usually just use a regular shampoo and conditioner for our hair. Whether you wear your hair down or in your hijab, it is imperative that we create a good relationship between our tresses and ourselves. As we get older, we run the risk of experiencing more hair fall and that volume we may have took for granted when we were younger will no longer be there.
Dove wants us to have a rewarding relationship with our hair which will be a source of happiness every day. This is why they have created the new Dove Nutritive Solutions Range and I was a lucky enough to get sent the range to test.
According to a recent survey * 80% of women feel that their hair affects their day to day mood. { *Dove Hair South Africa survey on Women24 (2016) } I absolutely believe that , because I am definitely part of that percentile. I remember years ago , I was attending a wedding and the stylist did a terrible job of my hair. Oh gosh! Was I in a bad mood , I almost stayed at home to cry over it , but I didn’t… thank goodness!
Keratin is the essential component of hair and I was really happy to see that this range from Dove is enriched with Nutri-Keratin Actives to help keep hair strong and healthy.
I have been trying this range for a bit and I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised with the results. There is no denying that I have always been a fan of Dove ever since I was in high school because it was the only soap gentle enough to be used on my skin. When I was sent this package to try , I was keen to see the results.
I was quite pleased with both the Dove Intensive Repair shampoo and conditioner from the first use. After using it , I could feel the difference as soon as I washed it off. It lathers up nicely and once it has been rinsed off , you can feel the change in the texture of your hair – it isn’t greasy but very silky. For someone (yes, me ) who suffers from oily scalp and dry roots – I would really prefer something that deals with both those issues.
The Daily Treatment conditioner is also in this range and is an excellent product that acts as a treatment but at the speed of your regular conditioner. Now , if that doesn’t get your attention – girl bosses, busy mums, multitasking wives and well, everyone reading this then I don’t know what will. The result is smoother, silkier hair that smells heavenly and with half the effort.
Finally, the Intensive Repair Treatment Mask.
As I mentioned before, we should be taking care of our hair as we do our skin. Using a mask for your hair is just as important as applying a face mask to remove impurities. This one claims to instantly repair dry and damaged hair, while progressively nourishing from within. Unlike the two conditioners mentioned, you would use this just once a week on your dry, damaged hair to see results.
It envelopes your hair in this luxurious , velvety cream that restores it to a healthy and happy state after consistent use. Think about the damage that is caused to your hair every time you colour or style it and you will run out and get a tub of this mask.
After using this fabulous range from Dove, I am definitely impressed with this unique formulation that keeps hair soft, silky, healthy and more manageable at a really reasonable price point. I love the refreshing scent of the entire range and repairing my damaged hair while still keeping it looking nourished is exactly what I need. I am definitely committed to having a positive relationship with my hair 🙂

It has been such a long time since I have posted and while I have been so busy with life in general, I really did miss my little corner of the internet and I am so glad to be back with this summer look, feeling a bit of nostalgia as the days get progressively colder. Continue reading
Spring has arrived but with it has come all types of weather – so much so that my heater and fan are currently standing side by side, waiting to see what happens. It has been hot, cold, windy and rainy so I guess we will get through it and meet summer at the end 🙂 Now, that is something I am definitely looking forward to! Continue reading
This Forever New Cape is one of my fave pieces in my closet even though I purchased it quite some time ago. It always comes in handy in Winter Continue reading
