Wanna win a cool R25 000 in Uber Credits? {Giveaway!}
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…

Rummikub is 70! {Win!}
When I think of Rummikub, I immediately remember bunking class to play a few rounds of the strategy game with university buds, while chewing on whatever munchies we could forage from our backpacks. Yep – I was that student – I totes bunked class. But also, I was thaaat student… I bunked class to play a board game. Call me a nerd, but not to my face. Anyways, years later Rummikub is still a firm fave! My new opponents are unsuspecting family members who are often amused at my level of competitiveness when it comes to the game. Best moment is getting to shout out “Rummikub!” as I slap my…

Ace that space with Sunstar GUM
A huge lesson that I am taking with me after all of the 2020 shenanigans (for lack of a better word) is that health is wealth! I mean, we’ve all been reminded of the value and importance of looking after your body #amiright? I was also reminded that a healthy mouth and fresh breath goes hand in hand with a healthy body. In fact, September is National Oral Health Month and Sunstar GUM is on a mission to help us ‘ace that space’ by efectively cleaning in-between teeth for a healthier mouth and body. Did you know that only a third of South Africans floss or clean in-between regularly? Shocking, right? (I…

How to celebrate a birthday when you’re stuck at home {Win!}
Stuck at home, on the brink of celebrating a birthday, and you’re not exactly sure how you’re going to do any celebrating at all? Well then, friend, this post is for you! Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, lock down birthdays are now a thing. And, I mean, you’re probably considering the fact that you kinda need, well, other people in order to put the “party” into “birthday party”. And you’re not wrong. But there are ways and means to celebrate the birthday boy/girl, even though you’re limited on people and resources. I love birthdays! And I believe that the only real bummer, about a solid birthday celebration, is not having…

Peaceful sleep with the Tommee Tippee Grobag {Win!}
I love sleep. There, I said it. I mean, I function better when I’m well rested, you guys. It’s just, like, a fact of life! And so, because of this fact (uhh of life), I’m always super keen when a brand tells me that their product promotes better sleep for babies. Ash has always been a good sleeper, but truth be told, I’m always super anxious when he sleeps soundly. I check on him every so often, to make sure that he is the right temperature and that his breathing is regular. I mean, you can call me paranoid, but not to my face. And now, with Autumn in our…

Teaching togetherness with Paw Patrol {Win!}
If you’re a parent I’m sure you’re well aware that ‘no job’s too big, no pup’s too small’ when it comes to the type of stuff that the puppy’s over at Paw Patrol are able get up to. As it has famously been said: “Round Adventure Bay, Ryder and his team of pups will come and save the day.” And we stan, right? I mean, I love a helpful, world saving dog. In fact, we need a bit of Paw Patrol magic ’round about now, as we face an uncertain future, due to the Covid-19 lockdown. So I was pretty chuffed with myself when I decided to use the Paw…

Prima Toys: 44 Cats brings the cool! {Giveaway!}
If your kids loves tv shows, as much as mine does, then you might be familiar with the hit kids show, on Nick Jr, called 44 Cats. It’s rad because these Italian cats spend their time singing in a garage band (I mean, sold already, right?!) and running interference against the neighborhood bullies (of both the human and feline varieties). We were excited to learn that Prima Toys has launched a toy range for the hit show, in South Africa a couple of days ago. My kids totally freaked out when they opened their gift from Prima Toys, and saw the cool collection of figurines, play sets and plushies! 44…

Dress like a princess with Classy Baby Boutique {Win!}
Pretty dresses are my daughter’s jam. The girl believes that she is a princess (and I am the queen, duh), so she kinda insists on only wearing dresses, because this is what princesses wear. Her princess-dress-wearing is not just for special occasions, mind you. In fact, her princess-dress-wearing is not limited to time or day or activity. We are a princess, so we wear a dress. Finish en kla. And although it does cause my spreadsheet brain to short circuit because I obviously plan her outfits in advance, her attitude towards dressing up also reminds me to enjoy my beautiful things. I mean, who says that beautiful princess dresses are…

It’s Valentine’s Day – here’s how to do a Sunstar GUM #FreshBreathCheck! {And win a hamper!}
It was awkward. My Valentine and I were on the most perfect date, complete with roses, a moonlit walk by the beach and Leona Lewis. Until he leaned in to give me a smooch and it left me, pretty much, knocked out by more than just his good looks. Bad breath is not cute, you guys. And when it comes to maintaining a healthy mouth and fresh breath, getting rid of dental plaque is essential. I don’t meant to be dramatic but bad breath totally has the power to make or break that special moment forever!!! *and end scene* Seriously though, plaque is almost invisible – it’s not easy to…
