I really hate packing for the holidays so I've perfected it by taking very little (not like my student days when I used to go to Plett in my old Beetle with a bikini, a sundress, toothbrush and change of underwear wrapped up in my beach towel) but to the point that everything I need fits comfortably in a medium-sized tog bag and by reassuring myself that I'm not leaving the planet so I'll be able to buy the items I might have forgotten...one thing I don't like to compromise on though, is my skincare.

Thankfully though, most ranges include those nifty travel size containers and I'm pleased to see that QMS Medicosmetics have come up with a brilliant holiday treat: the Classic Collagen set (3 x 30ml), Deep cleanser, Freshening Tonic, a cleansing sponge and exfoliant fluid application brush all wrapped up in a gorgeous travel bag for a really good price of R1700. I'm off to the coast and with all that sun and wind waiting to wreak havoc on my skin I need to to be fully prepared! The Beetle has since been upgraded and nowadays my collagen gets first priority.

The offer lasts till 21 December, so get the details:
