Night out in the city

Shop my look.

A night out with friends was just what I needed after being cooped up in my apartment for almost a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

We visited Kong bar in De Waterkant, Cape Town, and thoroughly enjoyed the food and ambiance. I opted for a smart – casual, all – black look by dressing up some joggers with some heels and a cut – out bodysuit.

Your skin will thank you later.

Matcha has been around a long time — since the late 12th century in Japan, where people have been preparing and sipping the frothy tea drink ever since. Among matcha’s earthy flavour, there have been many health benefits linked to it. Collagen, which is the main structural protein in various connective tissues in the body, also shows positive signs of increasing skin elasticity and hydration when it is externally added to drinks or food.

Some of my very first experiences with makeup have been with MAC and since then I have frequently used MAC products on my skin. I was glad to hear that MAC also jumped on the sustainability bandwagon by incentivising their loyal customers in return for recycling.
