Last HAUL for 2014 {I love spending moolah!}

Hey peeps!

So, before this year ends I would like to share with you my last shopping haul. I visited a few places including my favourite Woodlands Boulevard. They have a wide variety of shops to suite everybody's pocket. I always have a ball! Places visited also includes Kolonnade, Moorivier Mall and Canal Crossing in Potchefstroom.

So, lets have a look on what I spend my money on!  

  Yankee Candle in Woodlands Boulevard. 

 This skinny hot chocolate is from Irene Diary Farm's Deli

 These items is from TYPO in Cradle Stone Mall in Krugersdorp. 

 Some T's from Cotton On Woodlands Boulevard

 Just look at these cute bags!! It's for a good cause. Every time you buy from any shop in the Cotton On family you can buy one or a few of these bags and the proceeds goes to their 

Cotton On foundation. Such a good cause! To read more click H E R E 

 This Shirt and Maxi Skirt is from Factory (part of Cotton On) in Woodlands Boulevard

   The Camera book I bought at PNP Woodlands Boulevard and the John Green Novel from Die Boek Oase (The Book Oasis which was a stall at Aardklop this year)

 PNP Clothing. I love Pick 'n Pay's Clothing line. It is quite good quality and very comfy and this is my first Disney character clothing I own as an adult!

 This cute summer dress is from Woolworths in Moorivier Mall. Got it on sale!

 The shirt is from Cotton On and the shoes from Bata in Kolonnade, Pretoria

 The t and crop denim is from Foshini in Moorivier Mall and the shoes Bata in Kolonnade.

 This is a combination of Kolonnade and Woodlands Boulevard. Purse from YDE and Cutex from Sorbe. Both Kolonnade. The jewelery all from Lovisa in Woodlands Boulevard. I love their jewelery!

So, as you know I got a new camera and I was looking for a new bag. I love Lowepro. They are very good quality and the padding is great for keeping your camera safe. This bag has a lot of pockets and fits perfectly on my bag (after some adjustments). I bought this bag from Sounds Great in Woodlands Boulevard.

 Then, can I rave a bit over the new shop I stumbled upon. The Tea Merchant. They specialise in tea! Duh! But man the smells and the tastes and the cute products they have. I can not wait to try out my tea. Check them out on Twitter H E R E

 And just look at that tea infuser! I'm dying! So cute!

 The Body Shop has their end of year sale and of course I had to spoil myself. So I opted for some shimmer lotion, lip butter and hand cream. All in their Christmas flavor Glazed Apple. It smells divine!

 I recently visite Sorbe in Woodlands Boulevard  and I wanted to try out their products. SO I spoiled myself with this cute little bag filled with lovely products! I am excited to try these out.

 A new shop, My hartjie my Liefie, opened in the new Center Canal Crossing in Potchefstroom. This little top is a magic top. It hides any unwanted thingy you don't like and fits like a glove! 

 These earings are my new favorite. It's got two studs and it looks really pretty in your ear. 

 This short and top is SO comfy! And it is locally made by the designer, Regtig Awesome (Really Awesome) from Prieska here in SA. I am so proud!

What have you been spending your money on lately?

Christmas in a day

Hey guys,

I can not believe that Christmas has come and gone, so fast! We had a lovely day and I am blessed to have spent it with family and friends. This post will be a bit different. It will almost be something like "a day in my life". Hope you enjoy it!

We started our morning with lovely Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie (check out Ingrid Nilsen's Video on how to make it). We went to our Church service and then...we opened our presents!!! I LOVE exchanging gifts. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 

We had a lovely lunch at our local restaurant, The Broken Pot, and then we set off to visit family in Pretoria and Secunda. Even little Watson traveled with us. He was not a happy chappy.

It was a lovely day and I hope you guys had the opportunity to spend this day with your loved ones.

I am excited for 2015 and can not believe that it is only 3 sleeps away! Where did this year go?!Don't go anywhere! Some insight to follow before the last day of this year! (feels creepy saying that!)

Speak to you soon...or sooner!

xoxo

Empties {Products I've used up}

I love watching videos of reviews, products used up or "empties". It gives me a good idea what is out there and what people use and like and what is very popular. They are really helpful! So, I had a brown paper bag (with lovely pictures on it of Ushaka Marine World) and I found a spot in my bathroom and started filling it up with empties. It was so much fun and satisfying every time when a tube or bottle hit the bag. This also helped a lot with cleaning out some cupboards! 

Check out my chatty thoughts on all the products featured.

Thank you for stopping by!
