    5 types of leather jackets that are a must for Winter

    June 14, 2022 /

    To wear a leather jacket or not wear a leather jacket? That is the question. And yes, you probably guessed it, the answer almost always is: wear the leather jacket! Now, if you’re a bit of a “fuddy-duddy” like me (you know, gym tights and slippers are pretty much our uniforms at this point), I have some news for you – you too can wear a leather jacket this Winter and not look as if you’re trying too hard. A really great leather jacket is an essential item in any wardrobe. There are a variety of styles available and you could probably find one at a great price too! This…

    February 18, 2022 /

    I’m not saying that I’m a pro when it comes to being pregnant, but I’ve been around ye ol’ pregnancy block more than a couple of times and I know all about the struggles of trying to dress your bump. I mean, sure, there are gorgeous maternity dresses online (you should check out the maternity dresses that I spotted on Superbalist!) but I have a couple of maternity fashion hacks up my sleeve (pun intended) that will help you to make your closet work for you!

    5 tips for loving your mom bod this Summer

    December 21, 2021 /

    Finding the right Summer outfit is a tad bit harder when you are rocking a mom bod, am I right? I mean, we love our mom bods because they remind us that we are powerhouses, but, for the most part, the mom belly makes it a lot more challenging to find clothing that will complement your body post-kids. Superbalist has a few really cute dresses and jumpsuits that I definitely want to buy now! But, first, I need to learn how to dress for my shape. And so I scourged the internet to try to find a couple of tips for loving your mom bod this Summer. 5 tips for…

    Five Black Friday shopping tips you need to know!

    October 29, 2021 /

    Once a year I impress myself with my Black Friday shopping skills. Whaaat – I am my own biggest cheerleader, okay? And anyways, who has the time (or moola) to go on that festive spree in December? First of all, I can’t wait that long and I don’t foresee myself spending copious amounts of time standing around in shopping malls. I want to shop and I want to shop now! Secondly, uhh that’s what that Black Friday sale is for, my friend! So when I discovered that Superbalist will be having a Black Friday perfume sale, I had to get in on that. But it got me thinking… whether it…

    How clean is your mouth?

    September 14, 2021 /

    This may come across as a bit of a weird question but – how clean is your mouth? No really… how clean? I’m only asking because September is Oral Health Awareness month and I thought to spread the word about good oral health. The thing is this, my dearest friends, so many people think that simply brushing alone is enough to ensure good oral health.  But cleaning between your teeth is super important too, because that is where majority of the cavities start! The team over at Sunstar GUM are actual gum health experts, so I take their word for it when they say that teeth have five sides and…

    “iiiiiiiit’s beginning to look a lot like” … September. It’s September, people, calm down. And yes… when I speak to “people”, I’m actually talking to my spreadsheet brain (its a collective) because my inner Susan, and her sisters, wants to start digging out the Christmas decorations already. The thing is this though… Christmas brings with it the over-the-top spread of cheerfulness that my soul wants to need it right now! I mean, even though 2021 was not as much of a soul-suck, when compared to 2020, it still did it’s fair share of – errrrr – soul sucking. I need to feel some sort of renewed joy right now. We…

    5 habits that will help you to commit to date night

    What do men’s shirt and date nights have in common? Well, in our home, both shirts for men and sexy date nights are sighted on an extremely rare occasion. In fact – what is this myth called “date night” and how do we get one?? Jokes aside – we are busy parents, okay? And, to be honest, we often struggle to commit to spending quality time together. BUT, date night is important, my friends. Especially when you are actively working towards keeping that marital fire burning! It is a must and a need! Needless to say, when it comes to spending time together, Hubstopher and I do need a little…

    What do you know about the Uber In-App Emergency Button?

    March 14, 2021 /

    I recently learnt about the Uber In-App Emergency Button and, I must admit, the e-hailing service went from amazing to even more amazinger™ (words by Luchae) in my books! At the end of a busy day at the office, nothing is more relaxing to me, than a scenic drive home. There’s something about the peace and quiet, after the bustle of a busy day, that hits me right in the feels. And, when I’m not driving myself home, I must admit I get a kick out of sinking into the backseat of an Uber, while the driver’s choice of music settles my mind. I mean, as a mom who works…

I know you’re all wondering “whats up with Whatsapp?!” I mean, the aunties in our chat groups are telling us that the messaging app wants to steal our information and that we will lose access to the app from the 8 Feb. Hey, look at me! No freaking out, I said! So, yes, it’s not a hoax, it’s a real thing.

    How does a cool R25 000 worth of Uber Credits sound? Like music to your ears, right? Well, you could be the lucky winner, taking home R25 000 in Uber credits to be used on the Uber Eats or Uber Rides app! As you guys know, I am an avid Uber patron. Honestly, without the Uber Rides and Uber Eats apps, I would probably be stranded, daily. I appreciate that safety is a priority at Uber Eats. All stores, merchants and restaurants follow the strictest of hygiene protocols. In fact, the Uber app has included enhanced COVID-19 safety features which require all delivery-partners to wear a mask before being allowed…
