    Batiste Dry Shampoo Now in Cherry and Paisley

    June 5, 2013 in Beauty, Online Shopping
    I recently received the two latest scents available from Batiste. I am pretty sure that everyone has heard of Batiste before, if you haven’t, then all you need to know is that it is the ultimate go-to dry shampoo. Perfect for traveling or when time is short and you need your locks to look and smell fresher and cleaner.
    Cherry which already seems to be a firm favourite amongst all those who have tried it is very fruity and girly and has a youthful, playful retro feel to the packaging. The scent is not overly sweet but has more of a menthol cherry fragrance to it.Paisley is described as rich and elegant and while I am not the biggest fan of any paisley pattern I sure do love the scent. It has a warmer, rich spicy scent that almost comes across as a subtle perfume. It doesn’t stand out that you have just sprayed something over your hair to make it smell better instead it is more subtle and will blend into any warmer perfume you may be wearing in winter time.

    I also received samples of the XXL Volume variant which I am crazy about. Besides refreshing ones hair, Batiste is also great for providing some extra body and I sometimes use it on clean hair for that added bounce. I love that they offer a specific variant which boosts ones hair even further. I use it after I have created curls or waves for added volume and it also very handy to use the following day to put some life back into flattened waves. The fragrance has that divine salon shampoo type of scent which is another plus for me.Diva is quite similar to Paisley in that it is more on the spicy side. I liked it but it wasn’t my favourite, I prefer Paisley for that slightly more subtle element. As you can tell subtlety is a big factor for me.

    I also received some of the Mini’s which are ideal for popping in ones handbag and if you plan on going on a road trip anytime soon then be sure to include these. Tropical is basically a pina coloda for your hair, a super strong coconut scent that I would prefer to use in a hotter climate or in summer as it has that holiday feel to it. Blush is my firm favourite, floral but not intense. It reminds me a lot of the scent Redken’s blue range has and gives off a fresh just-been-to-the-salon silky locks feel. I love how clean it smells and I always carry one of these around in my handbag.
    Finally we have original which is classic and clean, it doesn’t interfere with any fragrance you may be wearing and it does its job perfectly.

    As I have blonde hair I cannot comment on whether or not any white residue may be visible on brunette hair when using this range but I do know that they offer variants designed for darker hair. I love Batiste for providing added volume and it does help with any greasy roots. If my hair is really not looking its best and I am in a rush then I will tie it up into a top knot or even a pony tail and spritz the dry shampoo around the roots. One tip I do have is try to spray your hair no closer then 20cm otherwise some white residue may be visible in that specific area. Another plus with this range is their price point…. For 200ml they are R59.99 and for the Mini’s which are 50ml they are R34.99. Available at Clicks stores.

      Love Batiste. Nervous to try the new ranges though. Tried the one for brunette hair and not as good as the original.

    I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to the new #BossMightyChunks range from @bossdogfood over the past month. This particular post is about health. 

About just how important your animal's health is as your own.
These furry little souls keep me going. They kept my spirits up throughout the medical challenges I faced last year. Seeing them was bliss.

The first two are from last week when I re-purchased their new favourite tasty meals. They actually recognised the cans! Queen Candi wanted to make sure "her" food was protected. You can see poor Rocco pleading. It wasn't even supper time yet. 
Our dogs mean so much to us. They are our children. They are on a par with a human toddler in terms of neediness. We admittedly do spoil them a bit too much. However, their well-being is something we have always made sure as all dog parents is a priority. 

They never miss their annual health checkups with any potential issues treated immediately. You may know that last year was a challenging time for me health-wise. It was such a difficult period for my partner & beloved fur-babies. 

Some of the more serious ones included being diagnosed with a second rare chronic illness, 3rd person in South Africa. Also cardiac issues & complications (another rare disease) and then a mini-stroke & more. On top of that, just two days after my final life-saving surgery. 

Richard and the dogs came close to losing their lives when our entire house burnt down. It was a huge turning point for us. We focused more on taking better care of ourselves, valuing every aspect of our lives and are beyond grateful that both dogs managed to make it out. 

I jumped at the opportunity when Boss reached out to me to try their new Mighty Chunks range. That is the dogs trying the range! Not me🤣. I will admit that for someone who doesn't eat meat, the rosemary scent is rather pleasant! 

Seeing how adding some healthy wet food like Boss Mighty Chunks that is nutrient-filled to their diet made an actual difference to their health. Agility and digestive, respectively, have again made us reevaluate the importance of health and well-being. For all of us!

    Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” since including @bossdogfood 
Boss Mighty Chunks into their diet. I thought the thicker gravy for extra taste as a topper is the best and meatier chunks might be a bit much for Candi but she gobbles them down with delight. It’s also helped give her more energy and fewer digestive issues it seems. As an Irish Setter, Rocco is more prone to joint and flexibility issues so seeing him extra agile since including these has been a noticeable health benefit too. 

They are obviously always excited for meal time but not usually this enthusiastic!

Oh, and to purchase or for any information about the new formulation’s extra protection & health benefits then visit the link in my bio.

    The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape is needed! I love Autumn but I’m craving sunny beaches and tranquility and would love it if my next holiday is somewhere exclusive. 

While daydreaming and scrolling, I spotted the incredible @clubmed La Plantation d'Albion! It offers so much! Evening activities, scuba-diving (which I haven't done and want to), a beach bar, secluded coves, a luxurious Cinq Monde Spa and adult-only Zen Zones. Oh did I mention ALL-INCLUSIVE gourmet food, an open bar plus Champagne all day! It’s relaxation heaven! 

Being all-inclusive it’s also budget-friendly which will make it easier to convince Richard to book it for us! 

So, when you make a booking (Link in Bio) tag me in your snaps to make me extra jealous!

    How does the saying go again? In the entertainment How does the saying go again? In the entertainment industry, never work with children or animals?

Well, I've discovered this was especially true tonight. I was just trying to get some snaps of Rocco & Candi testing out some of the new Boss Mighty Chunks. They are available in 3 flavours- Chicken Casserole, Grilled Steak & Lamb Stew. I've honestly never seen them this excited over a specific food before, and they already go crazy for food. 

Candi was incredibly naughty. She's usually so well-behaved. She had the audacity to climb onto the table and stuck her face into the Grilled Steak can! Just as I was setting up my camera.

As a pescatarian, dog food in general typically doesn't have the most appetising smell to me. So I was surprised that all of the Boss Mighty Chunks has a pleasant & extremely unique aromatic rosemary scent. Something both Furbabies seem to love as you can clearly see from all of the fantastic blurry tongues out & mouth-watering impatient background photos of them.

    After all of the heavy rain last night. I’m trul After all of the heavy rain last night. I’m truly hoping for a few more sunny pool days! Mostly because Rocco wanted to spend the majority of last night outside in the rain 🤣🙈

He lives for water. So “splashy pool days” is heaven for him. Even if I’m making him pose… “Look at Daddy for the camera! “

He LOVES water though to the extreme. Even though he is a rescue, every animal behaviourist etc has confirmed he is most likely an Irish Setter.

He can’t swim, due to his build. Large upper thick coat and slender but furry legs. Ideal for trudging through bogs/wetlands in Ireland and the shallow parts of a pool 🤣. I have to be on full mummy duty though. As when he spots water he will go in and follow me. 

Anyone else have an Irish Setter? 

@oneroccoatatime is such a bundle of affection. Check out his Instagram for a Reel of him in his own Kiddies Pool 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
