Nurturing Beauty: 3 DIY Recipes Using Young Living Rose Ointment
Have you jumped on the Castor Oil train? Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. These types of fats can be used to moisturize the skin. They act as occlusive moisturizers, which prevent or reduce water loss through the outer layer of the skin. GUESS WHAT?! Rose ointment contains castor oil, so I have been testing it out on the driest parts of my face and under my eyes as an eye cream to see the results. I have previously used just castor oil under my eyes and I can report that I prefer using Rose Ointment as it helps the other ingredients get absorbed better. Rose Ointment…

Interior Design & Aromatherapy
So not only do we all love to have a gorgeous interior, but also a home that smells amazing! I was wondering how to achieve it without allowing harmful chemicals from candles in your home, and also realistically you can’t have candles burning 24/7 throughout your whole home. See why we need to relook at burning candles here. Like colour, scents and smells can trigger emotions in us.

Setting the mood WITHOUT candles
Nothing sets the mood like a candle, right?! I won’t lie and say this was an easy swop, I LOVED candles and especially when we had a dinner party, friends over for a visit or even to burn next to my bath after a long day. There is just that vibe a burning candle provides. These days, I can’t light a candle without wondering what I am breathing in, because the candle company might not be telling you. So how can you recreate that cozy vibe and amazing smell without possibly* breathing in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde, toluene and benzene, released from candles made from paraffin wax and synthetic…

Current trends I am crushing on
Kids interiors has evolved into more sophisticated spaces than just a few years ago.

Setup your home for homeschooling during covid-19
With Covid-19 uprooting the whole world and causing a dramatic change in how our kids will receive education for the coming months, possible years, we have to re-look at how our homes are setup to enable a productive learning environment for our kids.

DIY Doll furniture makeover with Rust-Oleum
We were gifted an old, steel doll crib from a family friend years ago and recently I found the matching doll feeding chair in an antique shop close to our house a few months back and I wanted to spruce them up a bit and change to colour from the two mismatched pinks. Because Rust-Oleum works so well on difference surfaces, it is perfect for the steel doll furniture. I cleaned both units and made sure that there was not any loose paint or particles. I chose to go with the Satin silver lilac, I like the satin finish and the colour was a good combo of girly and modern look…

This bedroom makeover has been such a special project and a project I really enjoyed every second of. I was asked to create a space that my little client would love to spend time in and have sleep overs with her friends. Above is her bedroom before we started the transformation.

Furniture sizes for kids
I’m currently busy doing a playroom that will need to accomodate a 4 year old, a 7 year old and occasionally older as well as younger kids.

Here are some guidelines for choosing chair and table sizes for your kids: The easiest way to check if a chair is the correct hight for your child is for them to sit on it. Their feet should touch the floor with their knees bent at 90 degrees. A…

Neutral Nursery Love
A neutral nursery will always be in style due to its adaptability and this design fits right into our tribute to our beautiful South Africa for our latest style session. People have different reasons for creating gender neutral nurseries, some do not know the gender of the baby, some would like the nursery to last for more than one gender baby and some just prefer the sophisticated look of a neutral palette. What we do love about a gender neutral nursery is that you can easily add bold patterns or textures to your design.

How can you use your high contrast dangles?

They also work great on the move when attached to the car seat handle or the headrest of the car. Chenel from Life with James & Jaxson shared how Jaxson rolls when they are out and about.
