  • 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. ✨
  • Treatment done at Alchimia Clinic Kloof Street Cape Town: http://alchimiaclinic.co.za
  • Let’s talk about peepers! Just as you’d visit the dentist for a teeth clean you need to visit the optometrist for an eye test (R90 cash @visionworksbayside ) especially with all the digital devices we use on a day to day basis it really is so important to look after your eyes, you only have one set after all! 👀 when was the last time you had your eyes tested? #partnership
  • Look I know the #BLACKFRIDAY hype is real, my view is to wishlist the things you’ve had your eye on or gifts! I think it allows you to get awesome gifts at a much more affordable price.. case in point @danielwellington deals are next level; 50% off certain styles, free accessory, free gift wrapping AND an additional 15% off with my code CARAFAY that’s a whopping 65% off! valid NOW until 2 December! Link in bio to the @danielwellingtonafrica Black Friday page. #danielwellington #gifted #partner
