  • Did I blink and fall into an all Jewellery IG feed? Love this @katyvalentinecollections signet multi-colour stone ring, I especially love the little stone on the side so unique. It reminds me of colorful starry sky and I’m here for it! Side note I’ve found the perfect winter red nail polish, it’s @essie Forever Yummy ♥️
  • This is my reality right now; my skin isn’t doing the best despite not wearing any make up for 3 months and upping my skincare routine but also upping my sugar intake so go figure. I haven’t worn an underwire bra in 3 months, #sportsbraforthewin (BTW I bought x2 for R300 from @cottonon_africa best ever! ) I really wanted to share a pic of my new @yellowbyjeslea necklace set but thought what about my skin and my sports bra pepping through and then I was reminded of this quote from Roald Dahl so here I am showing you the necklaces I wanted to despite the sports bra and pimpley skin... “A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely” ✨🌞

  • Well this is definitely a post I never thought I’d be making it feels v handmaids tail ain’t gonna lie. 😷 We jumped on the cloth mask train before lockdown was announced with our first purchase being from @zanaproducts who have a great buy 1 donate 1 initiative. Then @rowdy_bags launched their R15 Non-Woven Polymer Fabric that we bought to use as a filter underneath the Zana masks AND then @sparrowsociety society launched their linen masks that mimic a surgical mask in that they can be stretched over nose and mouth which really helps if you have a bigger face. We found that the first set we bought weren’t large enough for a man with a larger face, so we bought the linen @sparrowsociety masks for Mandla. Get 5% off Sparrow Society with my code: carafay5 (I don’t gain anything from you using the code, it just helps gets the word out of this incredible not for profit company that focuses on empowering woman!) 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧👩‍👩‍👧‍👧👩‍👩‍👧‍👧👩‍👩‍👧‍👧👩‍👩‍👧‍👧👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 ANYWAY! Thanks for coming to my mask TedTalk Long story short we all need to wear masks now so I hope this helped in some sort of way. 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 Swipe to see how to wear a cloth mask correctly.
  • Ah TikTok, would it be lockdown if I didn’t try something I’ve seen on there? Well this is a super handy tip that actually works. Simply add some soap (I used @sunlight.za ) to warm water grab a sieve and wash your make up brushes. Easy peasy! #clicksbeautychallenge @clicks_sa
  • Well aren’t we just living in the strangest of times? I learnt a few things to help me cope pretty early on that have really helped me so I thought I’d share: 🗞 1) the media is a huge trigger of anxiety for me, I’ve limited my exposure intentionally and ONLY have the Instagram app on my phone for now. 🕰 2) having a routine has been a huge help. Wake up, make the bed, get dressed, take a lunch break and turn OFF the computer when my work day is over. 🤍 3) rituals have been a huge sense of joy for me, I managed to get in a @soilorganic order before lockdown and I am SO SO thankful for this as I was running low on all my oils for diffusing. I love having the diffuser on my desk everyday and playing with different combos. Let me know if you'd like a whole separate post on my essential oil journey? 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏾‍♂️ 4) exercise, gosh I am someone who has ALWAYS hated exercise but I just knew that I needed to find my groove in all of this (also to counteract all the snax I BEEN eating!) so we follow a YouTube cardio session first from @heatherrobertsoncom and end off with my beloved @adrienelouise I have been using #YogaWithAdrienne for 3 years and every-time I fall off the wagon and back on I want to kick myself for stopping. She really is SO SO great and her free programs are effortless to begin, she curates a calendar monthly with a corresponding YouTube playlist its really that simple. 🧮 Phew that was a mouthful! Let me know what you have been doing to keep on keeping on during this time?
  • We all know I love a good DIY so it was obvious that I was going to be fully on board with these beauuuutiful tile stickers by @tilevera.co.za 🥰 You can basically turn your bathroom into a Mediterranean blue dream, kitchen into Mexico and before you know it you’ve travelled the globe! 🌍 No but for real from only R115 for a pack of 12 tile decals you can really upgrade your kitchen backsplash, bathroom, floor or stairs. Plus they’re renter friendly! Where would you ‘re-tile’ first? #gifted
  • I just love looking at what the sky looked like the nigh we got engaged. I remember it so clearly as the moon was big, full and oh so bright! 🌌 if you’re looking for a unique and affordable gift idea these #writteninthestars custom prints are just that! Starting at R150, link in bio to order. ✨
