Thank you, thank you, thank you College Humour! I had to post this. Officially DONE with the Lost drama now! Tomorrow I have a pretty charity shop find to show you:)

Puppy Paws

This is Mary, one of my wonderful dogs. She was in a bit of a row with one of my other dogs just before I snapped this pic so that's why she's decked out in a pink hoodie:)

Spent two final grueling hot days digging for shop goods last week and managed to pick up a few things for me!

Our time away from home is drawing to an end and I am most excited to get back into familiar routine. Once home I promise more substantial updates, for now I'll leave you with an excellent update from Always the Forest on cooking up your own natural blush! I gave it a shot last night and was surprisingly pleased with the results! If you have any more natural make-up secrets up your sleeve I'd love to hear them!

Flowers on the cheeks

I went to Moyo today where they dip your hands in rose water, paint petals on your face and cook you a traditional African dish. It's nice to be a tourist in your own country sometimes. I think the real tourists are going to have a great time soon!

And the winners of the brooch giveaway are...

Well done, you three! Please pop me an email here with your postal address and Nicky and I will send you each a brooch. And a big thank you to all of you who entered. There will be lots more chances to win in future giveaways!



Nicky Savage is the talented lady who made these fine lovelies and you can see more of her work on her blog. If you'd like to sponsor a giveaway on Glossary, please pop me an email here. Gratius!

Two great quotes by Tavi Gevinson

The 'Bloggers vs. Editors' debate didn't really enter the South African blogosphere earlier this year so if the storm passed you by, Tavi Gevinson is the 13-year-old blogger who found herself at the center of it all.



She's the kooky young star behind Style Rookie, one of the most popular fashion blogs on the web. This year saw Tavi sitting front-row at the couture shows but when a Grazia editor tweeted that Tavi's gigantic bow was obstructing her view of the runway, the web erupted into a frenzy between bloggers and print editors. Tavi tackled the whole debacle in this post and I thought she made some excellent points including these two below.

On the debate 

On never been able to please everyone

I think her comment about collaborating rather than competing is such great advice. If you love what someone is doing, chat to them, pool ideas and see if you can work on a project together. Heck, form an alliance if you like! I've certainly learnt from blogging that people are usually happy to help - all you need to do is (politely) ask. I know the 'Bloggers vs. Editors' debate has simmered down but if you have any thoughts on the matter, please feel free to share them in a comment below. Also, let us know if you're a fan of Tavi too!

World's Smallest Brie

Look what I found at Woolies - the world's smallest wedge of Brie! So terribly cute, it deserves it's own run of pictures. And speaking of food, today I went to the Food Market in Durban North for the first time. There was Indian Food, French Food, Greek Food, South African classics and loads more deliciousness! If you've never been, I highly recommend a visit. What have you been noshing on lately?



I will be announcing the winners of the Brooch Giveaway on Monday so you can still enter this weekend! And guess what? I've got an interview with the amazing Calivintage coming up soon. Keep those eyeballs peeled:)
