As we get to the end of summer, perhaps you’ve been a tad careless in terms of applying your sunscreen regularly and you might see a few signs of UV ray exposure, like dark spots or pigmentation. I always love to share the newest skincare products which address these problems and one of the most innovative I’ve come across and had the pleasure to try in the last few…

I have been loving the effect of Filorga's newest addition to the innovative French skincare range- the Oxygen-Peel Reoxygenating Micro-peeling Lotion- mild enough to use daily, packing a powerful punch of

amazing ingredients that give really excellent results.

We know by now that exfoliation is key when it comes to your skin looking its…

Everyone who invests in their skincare should have heard about the benefits of micro-needling- in short, it reduces wrinkles and fine lines; it improves scars, reduces the appearance of stretch marks and stimulates collagen production. The procedure involves using fine needles to create tiny puncture wounds on the top layer of the skin which causes the body to go…

Although The Color Purple  is set in a different timeframe, it is so totally relevant in the lives of many South Africans in 2018 and it must be said, this is a coup for Joburg Theatre and its wonderful Nelson Mandela stage. (4 Feb- 4 March)

It took four years to negotiate the rights –this will be the first major international staging…

I love reading- I literally devour books and almost have a panic attack when I’m nearing the end of the current one I’m reading and haven’t got a back-up. This particular book, written by local author Lauren Segal, was not one I was keen on. I hesitated because of the subject matter- I was afraid of being depressed and sad at this time of year when the festive season is…

 I have to state upfront that I am a lover of facial oils- living on the Highveld, with its dry winters and intense heat in summer, I can really attest to having dry and dehydrated skin, which if not pampered, can be very ageing – and let’s face it, we want to be able to look and feel our best at all times- why not?

So, if you’re…

There is such an overwhelming selection of foundations on the beauty market- it’s always difficult to choose, but there are a few simple guidelines that should narrow it down for you and if you follow them, perhaps you’ll find your holy grail- the perfect one!

The first thing to consider is your skin type- whether you’re dry, sensitive, oily or combination.…

There’s always a kind of indescribable feeling in the air in Joburg once the jacarandas start blooming- a shiver of anticipation as the year winds to its close and the festive season is just around the corner. To theatre lovers it can only mean one thing- it’s PANTO time!

If you love Middle Eastern food, look no further than Arez Café which is in the Morningview Shopping Centre on South Rd in Sandton. The menu features scrumptious fare cooked up by TV producer and radio presenter Alan Ford's gorgeous Mom, Carol Ford and Lebanese-born Alice Latouf.

The menu features a sumptuous variety of what I call 'food to share'- the traditional Hummus, perfect for vegetarians, Baba Ghanouj- egg plant dip- the crispiest Falafel ever, spicy Malfouf- cabbage rolls…

With Heritage Day happening this weekend, it seems apt to encourage theatre-lovers to go and see this magical production at the Joburg Theatre- King Kong. It's a fabulous musical which confirms the fact that South Africa's Got Talent- in spades!

Eric Abraham produces and presents this Fugard Theatre production, which runs at the Joburg Theatre from 12…

With the weather changing so quickly- at least here in Jozi- it’s important to get cracking with a few suncare products so that you avoid harmful UV rays as well as the pigmentation that comes with sun damage. Sun protection products have come a long way; most people (kids top the list!) hate the feeling of sticky sunblocks and the white cast that usually accompanies application.

The products I’ve been testing are in a completely different category and I’ve loved using them.…

This is exciting news- the iconic South African hit musical is coming to Joburg- after over half a century since the original production! Eric Abraham and the Fugard Theatre producers of the critically acclaimed West Side Story and The Rocky Horror Show will present a new production of King Kong at Joburg…

I’ve been hearing a few girlfriends moan about dry, dull winter skin, notwithstanding their scrupulous skincare routines, using really good products. This is usually because the surface of the skin has thickened and even though you might be using products with active ingredients, they cannot penetrate the skin efficiently. Time to shake things up!

When people are looking for a venue for a special occasion, the tendency is to look far and wide- possibly somewhere pretty in the countryside, far away from the bustle of the city. The downside is without question the amount of travel your poor guests have to make, so without further ado, let me introduce to you The Park House of Events on 7- a delightful space right in the…
