Rain Fragrances and Event

November 9, 2015 in Beauty, Events, Lifestyle, Reviews, Skincare

A week or so ago I attended an event with Rain. Rain is an incredible locally-made ethical cosmetics company. All of their products are handmade in South Africa using only the finest African sourced ingredients and none of their products contain any parabens, mineral oil, liquid paraffin, pretrochemicals. They are also against child labour and animal testing. Simply speaking to the team from Rain the passion within this company is palpable. It is all about uplifting local communities and creating stunning products. And if you have ever walked into a Rain store it is such a calming experience. They also have special Rain spa ritual treatments at their Spa’s situated throughout the country and I am very keen to try them out soon. Have a read here for more info on the treatments offered.

We were loaded into a bus and set off on an adventure to a mystery location. That location being the Mosaic Sanctuary which is definitely on my bucket list as a place to stay at and I fell in love with the cosy feel of their lodges. Check them out here. After a fun-filled day that included a Spookhuis, a very interesting lesson on how their perfumes are made, a flower safari and a wonderful back massage we were gifted a yummy smelling goodie bag and headed home.

Prizes were also given out throughout the day and I won one which happened to be this divine lip balm. I definitely felt that it deserved a mention as it has been used every day since I received it. It not only smells yummy (my one was the Pear scent) but is lovely and balancing. Providing moisture to ones lips but not in a way that you feel that you have to re-apply throughout the day like with many other balms. I’ll be stocking up on more of these I’m sure!

The day was all about their recently released perfumes and I learnt so much about how perfumes are actually made. There truly is an art to perfume-making. Rain have three perfumes; Leaf, Twig and Nectar. Twig is a powerful fragrance with an intriguing blend of fynbos, lavender and citrus. Leaf is more fresh and has crisp green fynbos notes intertwined with bursts of orange blossoms and floral. At first Leaf was my favourite until I tried Nectar. Nectar happened to be the fragrance which I received in my gift bag, it is a sensual blend of jasmine, rose and lily with a spicy strong base.

All of the Rain fragrances are now available in stores and online.

This past week I’ve been in hospital. I went in This past week I’ve been in hospital. I went in for an emergency op three weeks ago and then there were complications. Which is why I’ve been so quiet. 

Aside, from all of the pain I’ve been going through. I’ve also been stressing about all of the work commitments I’ve missed. 

I haven’t put makeup on or even thought about beauty in weeks. I am however so relieved that I chucked these mini’s into my hospital bag. I was able to put this hair mask, from @sorbetgroup, on last night and properly wash my hair. The divine scent helped make me feel slightly more human again. Plus my hair is extremely soft! Although the #Sorbet Dry Shampoo has been superb, it’s all done now though. 

It’s amazing how appreciative one is simply by being able to do small things by oneself like wash your own hair or shower by yourself. Okay, a nurse still had to keep check on me but one stiletto at a time...

Looking “back” on the past year. It’s surrea Looking “back” on the past year. It’s surreal to even process how we have all changed. Adapted. 

I was enjoying the simple pleasure of breathing in fresh air, feeling the warmth of the sun and knowing that through all the hardships I have and am still growing. I do finally feel the excitement that comes with a new year. It may not be the 1st of January but it is the first day of an entire year of South Africa working together to help one another, thrive and survive, and that is inspiring and motivating.

Richard and I took it super easy. I got to sleep in, was spoilt with coffee and later an untypical “picnic” and decided to have a little toast with some non-alcoholic @robertsonwinery sparkling wine 🥂. Last weekend I was in ER (Not COVID-19) but still better not to mix meds and alcohol just yet 😊

We then decided to do our own versions of relaxation. Him non-stop  sport and for me pampering with face masks and watching YouTube beauty gurus 💕
