Ralo loom bands review

This was my second month as a Ralo Brand Ambassador and what that basically means is that this month  I received my second free product to test out. This month was LOOOOOOOOOooooooooooommmmmm bands. I must admit I had alot of fun making hand bands and rings, my best creation is these bows I attached to a hairband.

These loom bands can give you many hours of fun and also keep the kids busy for a while. Looking forward to next month.

July Rubybox

I am a bit late with my post since I received my box about 2 weeks ago. But anyway let me get to it. So July was the first month of my subscription. Basically Rubybox is a online beauty store as well as a monthly Subscription ( R169 a month) and each month you receive a cute little box with about 4-5 full size or sample size products that would be suitable to you. You need to full out a beauty profile telling them about all your beauty needs, skin type, hair type etc. An added bonus is that it is delivered to your door. After checking out their facebook page I was a bit skeptical because I came across a lot of complains. So far though I have to say I am very happy with the products I received.

So this month I received 4 products as you can see in the picture below

Full size products:

Woolworth lipstick in the a beautiful colour perfect for my skin tone

Foot file- great and much needed in winter

Sample size products:

A facial care soap containing egg white - This is such a lovely soap made my skin super soft and wasn't drying

African extract hand cream 

So overall I was very happy with this box.Eagerly awaiting the August box after having a look at the sneak peak and because I will be getting an extra box. 

Till next time

Weight loss- Part 1

I have finally come to the realization that dieting is not going to work for me. I have read a lot of times that it has to be a lifestyle change. I always believed if I lost the weight keeping it off would be easy, unfortunately I proved myself WRONG. I lost a lot of weight last year due to dieting and being on a strict exercise program. But once I felt comfortable I began eating as I did before and stopped exercising and now months later I am back at the starting line. I managed to put on all the weight I had lost and then some. So my mission now is to be healthy and that involves me loosing a lot of weight. Here's my story.......................

I started off kinda skinny and over the years, since I have finished school I have put on a lot of weight. I have many times tried to blame all this weight on my 2 pregnancies, but at the back of my mind I know this is unfortunately not true.

My main problem is that I love food,sweet treats especially chocolates and baked goods. And I love 'rich' food so stuff with cream and a lot of butter is usually what I go for. Since I am home a lot I snack and nibble a lot more frequently then I should .

But to be healthy I have to change all of this. I have done a lot of reading regarding weight loss and keeping the weight off. My first step was calculating my BMI so that I have an idea of were I am and what my ideal weight should be.

The easiest way to work out what your healthy weight should be is calculating your bmi. Just click here and it will take you to the Pick n Pay bmi calculator. You just need to know your height and weight.

In part 2 I will be telling you what my plan is on to loose the weight and keep it off.

Till next time
