Glossybox


My daughter surprised me a couple of months ago with a subscription to Glossybox. I can really recommend this great little box, filled with wonderful products inside. Some might normally not be able to afford the products and Glossybox provide us with an opportunity to try it out and who knows, a friend might surprise you with that great product you just happen to mention or shared with during a casual conversation.

My one Glossy box had 6 travel size Sisley products inside: Floral toning lotion, cleansing milk, eye and lip contour balm, restorative facial cream, facial mask with linden blossom sensitive skin and soft rose anti-aging lift foundation!

I tried out the Sisley products and just love them! Guess who is already including it on my list of preferred products! I found the combination really complement each other and used in combination is the way to go! Really great products as they use natural plant extracts and botanical aromatic essential oils. 

Take out a subscription even if it is just for one month, you will not be sorry. I love glossybox because of the following:

ü  Real value for money;

ü  Only the greatest products;

ü  You receive 5 travel size beauty products;

ü  Cost at a R130 per month, R700 for 6 month subscription and you save R80 or R1430 for a year subscription and you save R130;

ü  5 travel size products to try out before spending more than double the amount and end up not being happy with the product, the travel size product will save you money and you just might find that perfect beauty product just suited for you!

ü  Glossybox really are in touch with what women really need and want - from young to old and in touch with only the best products on the market.

I LOVE the packaging. It is like getting a gift every month and you just cannot wait for your next box to arrive! 

Glossybox
A suggestion ladies, do not throw away your box, great for gifts and if you are into making cards, use the content inside. My daughter never throws the ribbon, paper and crinkled paper away as it makes stunning cards. So at the end you not only receive great travel size beauty products every month but two beautiful boxes, ribbon, paper and crinkled paper to protect you products which you can use for other purposes!

 If you are still hesitant just look at their brand partners: Anesi Beautè, dr. brandt, L'Occitane  and LOVE Chloè.

Haute Cabrière Restaurant

We recently visited the Haute Cabrière Restaurant in Franschhoek and can really recommend it for that special event or family outing.

I just loved the interior, crisp white linens and lovely chandeliers.  The artwork is colourful and adds to the charm of the restaurant.  The terrace offers a perfect place to sit down with friends whilst enjoying a glass of wine and the beautiful scenery.

Cederberg Mountains

We took a trip to the Cederberg mountains and I must highly recommend it.  It is only two hours drive from Cape Town and be prepared to stop quite regularly, as the scenery is really breathtaking.

The rock formations add to the beauty of the Cederberg and you will find yourself keen to start exploring the big boulders.  However, also a word of caution, as it can be dangerous without the correct equipment.


Stadsaal Caves


Walks , Hikes in Central Cederberg
We stopped over at Mount Ceder and had a light lunch.  They also have self catering facilities.  We unfortunately had to turn back and are already planning a trip deeper into the Cederberg mountains to explore Cederberg Wildernis, Ramskop Nature Reserve, Louis Leipoldts grave, Englishmens grave etc.
