    Win with Soil

    June 29, 2015 in Beauty, Reviews

    Don’t you just love a brand that goes that extra step when it comes to presentation. Part of the joy of online shopping is that it feels as if you are receiving gifts when they arrive. I got to experience the Soil online store and when my box arrived it included a lovely note and pretty paper to protect my goodies. My gift item also came in this pretty pink box. So let’s take a look inside shall we…

    I chose the Sensual Hibiscus Soy Wax Melts and burner combo which comes in the pink gift box. One melts lasts a fair amount of time and I’ve had one in my burner in the evening for the past three nights. The Hibiscus soy wax melts are fragranced with Ylang-Ylang, Patchouli and Sweet Orange essential oils. This duo retails for R130 and can be purchased here.

    During winter my lymphatic system always feels more sluggish and I generally notice some cellulite appearing. This year I have been trying to combat it with Skin 689 which has worked amazingly. However, day-to-day standing also causes water retention and a good leg massage at the end of the day is so very important. I have been using the Soil Toning blended oi every evening after my shower and it has really helped. The blend of fennel and geranium help to reduce cellulite by detoxifying, toning and stimulating the skin. It also contains Juniper berry which helps to de-congest the lymphatic system.

    My bottle of peppermint oil was running low so I picked another one up. For 10ml it is R45. I love to add 15 drops to a 100ml bottle of water and use as a room spray. It not only smells refreshing but it is the perfect kick-starter for the mind as peppermint is very stimulating.

    Many overseas beauty bloggers marvel at how incredible pure shea butter is for the skin and even for the hair. Soil is the only brand in SA that I have found top quality pure organic and at R80 for 100ml.

    Shopping on the Soil online store is an absolute breeze. The layout is easy to navigate and I love that you can add your previously purchased items to your cart in one click. This is great as often I can’t always remember exactly which essential oils I use on a regular basis or blend together. There is also free delivery for any purchases over R300 and delivery takes 3-5 days.

    To win a R300 gift voucher to spend on the Soil online store simply fill in your details and follow the instructions below.

    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 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
