Club CEO

 I was messing around on the internet the other day and found something cool I would like to share with you guys.

For those of you that follow my blog regularly knows;

1. I'm always pushing for that number one spot
2. I'm not the richest chicka out there

Above are some pics of the most coolest,sophisticated genuine leather bags(they use only the finest premium Italian leather which adds longevity to their bags and accessories) namely;Mens Paolo 2 Briefcase, Womens' Fiorella Work Bag and Womens' Medolla L Handbag.I have seen in quite a while,normally when I think of a briefcase the first thing that comes to mind are those olden time briefcases with those combination locks(not sure if that is what they call it) that my dad used to work when he was still working in an office(he has since '97 been part of Club CEO,one of my main motivators) he now uses one for his nails(hardware ones,no weird fetishes) and the other for his important things as these briefcases are now totally out of fashion and out dated below is a pic of one if you can't remember the horrondouseness (is that even a word,lol) that is the antique briefcase.

If you feel blindness coming to mind at the sheer sight of this briefcase please head on over to the Maxwell Scott bags sight and get a dose of anti-venom by checking out all the different bags and briefcases they have on offer.

Maxwell Scott is an online store based in the UK(e-commerce) they don't have any store at the moment but do ship to South Africa(yipee)!

I can't wait to get my hand s on my own one and swag it out like the Boss Lady I know I am...

These bags ooze style,class and sexiness I can just imagine how I would feel walking around with a Maxwell Scott bag or accessory.Go on be a trendsetter!

If you would like to know more about Maxwell Scott Bags and accessories below and in the post is a link to their website.

Tearing a Page out of Shailene Woodley's Book: Thrift Store / Bargain Shopping

As most of you know I am a mommy, and as you also know as a mother/ father it's quite an expensive task to make sure that all of the wants and needs of you family members are met.

So for a while now I have been a member of a group called Second Hand on Facebook where people basically post there second hand things on a page and if you are interested on purchase you make arrangements and Bob's your uncle.So when I saw a little insert on E! where they were interviewing Shailene Woodley , she said she only wears clothes from thrift stores or previously owned clothes in her day to day life, it just brought things right home for me, if you can rock it why not, who is there to judge you?

Soooooo *maxim bady voice * I went to a store today not exactly a thrift or second hand store but daaaaamn if I didn't know better, I would say that it was, below are some pics of the items I purchased be sure to pop in, in a few days time to check out my look post featuring atleast on of these items in each post.

R15,99

 

R19.99

 

R20.00

 

All items were purchased at Clearouts in Access Park ,Kuilsriver. In total I spent R46.00 on items that when normal price costs about R246.00.

Valentines day Essence and Revlon Ombre Nail Art and Nail Polish Storage

This morning while searching for some tips and ideas for some Valentines Nail Art I stumbled across an awesome Youtube Video by Simple Nail Art Design which I failed at terribly,lol(I couldn't get the heart stencils right ). Reminds me of a meme I saw a while ago.

So after struggling for nearly two hours,I finally gave up and remembered about a other Youtube Video I saw by MissJenFabulous on how to do a full ombre nail.My result not fabulous but pretty and it was only my first time so I don't mind the outcome, after all practice makes perfect,doesn't it? lol

I used the following nail polishes for this look:

Revlon Girly,
Essence Ultimate Pink
Essence Modern Romance
Essence Free Hugs

As I was scrolling through the facebook-verse yesterday, I came across a fantastic blogpost by 

Rayne Alexander where she says he make up storage ideas so I thought I will just leave a picture for you of how I store my nail polish and nail utensils for some inspiration.I bought the acrylic nail polish holder at Dischem for R40, unfortunately my Revlon Polishes are to big for the holder, so I'm in the market for another one, if you have any idea where I could possibly by one, please feel free to leave me a message in the comments section.

To be breastfeed or not to breastfeed in public

About a week or two ago social media was a buzz with a no breastfeeding sign that was put up in a Family Restaurant which led me to think about this topic extensively.

I am a mother of two kids and I have no problem with it, but , I,  normally cover up,  not because I care about what others' think but because I know if someone,anyone were to say anything derogatory I would open a can of whip ass lol.

So I posted the question on a forum that I am a part of and got a huge response. It's a women only forum and I was surprised at the responses and how many people were anti breastfeeding in public(with no covering).

People have different views and opinions when it comes to this and many are passionate about it as well(including myself),I am still breastfeeding my son and since this article I have decided that never mind what the topic or circumstance if you feel comfortable doing something and it doesn't harm the next person DO IT!

So this is just my views on the topic and if you disagree,that's good because if we all thought and acted the same the world would be a really boring place.

The most common complaint is the fact that your breast is sticking out and it is unbecoming, when this is actually not even the case when a baby latches on in the correct manner the whole nipple should be covered,which exposes less breast than your normal low cut top/bikini top(which is basically a bra) so for me that in itself voids that. Many children are so used to being breast fed in their homes and not being covered that when they are out in public the do not want to be covered which results in to things;

1.The child kicks and screams as the are hungry and need to feed(which society also has a problem with)
2.The child can't get a proper meal because the mother is considering other people and not the child(and some people even take it so far as to say that the mother is disrespectful and inconsiderate ,really?)

The main purpose of breastfeeding is to FEED a hungry child, many donate R2 for the hungry children when  purchasing KFC but don't want to see a mother feed her child,inconsiderate and disrespectful don't you think?

The sight of a mother breastfeeding her child will be less offensive if we could all just take our minds out of the gutters and start seeing it for what it really is,a mother feeding her child. Yes your little boy is going to ask you questions and it will be your responsibility to answer said little boy honestly, and with the intention to educate him,so we can have a future where a mother can feed her child without a care in the world.

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion and we need to respect that!

So next time you see a mum breastfeeding her baby,salute her and let her know you are proud of her.

peace and love

Sorbet harden salon pump nail polish remover;have a spa moment.

I ran out of nail polish remover a few days ago and popped into clicks for a replenish,I was standing in the isle when I remembered a post by fellow blogger Channi Chic recommending the new Sorbet Salon Pump nail polish remover.

So upon her recommendation, I thought, I will give it a try.

I must say I do not regret it at all.

I immediately sat down to remove my nail polish which was already on a few days too long(if you are a follower of my blog you will know that I  change my nail polish on a weekly basis).

I also bought myself a pack of Clicks branded 100% cotton pads to apply the nail polish remover too.



The nail polish remover contains acetone which means you can remove artificial nails with it as well, and its also so first thing that came to mind was a strong smelling nail polish remover smell(which I personally don't mind but I know that most people do) so when I opened it I smiled a little bit as it actually had a pleasant smell.

It is also enriched with Geranium Essential Oil to enhance the condition of your nails and leave it lightly fragranced.

Something else that impressed me is that it is no mess, no waste and no stress, a few pumps and the cotton pad is sufficiently moistened for your use.
 No need to scrub and press and spend more than a few seconds on a nail which I normally do(coz be a nail art enthusiast, I always have more than one layer of nail polish on my nails), now two/three swipes my nail is clean and because of the vitamins in the remover it doesn't leave your hands feeling dried out.

I am also very impressed with the budget feature, lol , due to the fact that you only use a few pumps at a time I'm sure this nail polish should last 2-3 months if not longer and obviously depending on use and it also saves you on hand cream coz your hands don't fell so dried out anymore lol.

In conclusion I would say that the sorbet harden nail polish remover and I have started a good relationship and at R39.99 it's a steal.



Many of us long for a spa day, but , as a mothers', career women or students we don't have the time or money to do this, here Clicks and Sorbet creates that little bit of spa life into our lives.

Be sure to pop this into your trolley or basket on your next trip to Clicks and enjoy a little bit of me time

Peace and love

Why do men carry their partners’ handbag?

Disclaimer: I am not passing judgment on anyone, this is purely my opinion.

This question has been on my mind for a while now and I think it’s time for me to address it, almost everywhere I go at least one guy is walking around carrying his partners purse; I’m not referring to keeping the handbag for a few seconds while the partner is doing something, I’m talking about
actually carrying the handbag around as if it’s his.

Is it because the handbag is heavy?
Or you are marking territory?
Testing whether he submits to you?

So, firstly I feel that it makes my husband seem like he is my subordinate/slave if I’m not walking with anything and he is carrying my bag.

Secondly I feel that if you as a woman can’t carry your own bag you shouldn’t have a bag (a bag to me is a useful fashion accessory and if my partner is carrying it, then it doesn’t compliment my outfit so why the need for it?)
If you are a confident person why would you need to find ways to mark your territory? (you would know and trust that your partner is yours).Trying to irk an act of submission out of your partner by
doing this, spells doom for the relationship from the word go.

In many Asian countries this is an accepted practice and I’ve been seeing it here more and more often. Apparently, it is an expression of their love for their woman. And (some) women not only like it but also expect it from their men. And no, the phenomenon has not been observed only in Singapore, but also in Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan. And the trend is fairly recent, probably in the last 5-6 years.

I would like to hear what your views are please comment below,

Peace and Love
