LIFE LUXURY SALON

Amanda Custo September 13, 2018

Hello ladies!

If you follow us on Instagram you might have seen our posts last week of our amazing experience at Life Luxury Salon. It is a new spa / salon located at the Embassy Towers development in the heart of Sandton and we were in for a treat!

On arrival we were given a tour of the beautiful space and familiarised with the products and treatments, including beautiful (hello mamas-to-be) pregnancy-friendly products and massages.
First we were treated to scented hand scrubs and massages, whereafter our nails were expertly treated by two lovely therapists. We were offered cappuccinos (with all the trimmings - note to self: biscotti will ruin your appetite for lunch. Especially when you ask for second helpings!)

We felt like royalty having our pedis done with some sparkling grape juice and a stunning urban view over Sandton. Pssst - the pedi stations even have charge points, girls, so if you run out of battery after taking the ump-teenth snapchat selfie, don’t even break a sweat ;)

To end of the perfect spa morning, we were lead to the treatment rooms for our Nimue facials and massages - and a snooze, of course. When I ask the therapist if I snored she very convincingly denied having heard anything…

THANK YOU LIFE LUXURY SALON for the ultimate girls’ day out - we can definitely see some bridal showers, birthdays and baby showers happening in this amazing space!

Lots of love,
Amanda & Gosia

Pafuri Camp Weekend

Amanda Custo August 21, 2018

I would definitely classify myself as an "ocean" girl. Ever since I can remember, our summer holidays were spent at a beach side resort and my best childhood memories all have connotations to the sea, sand and South African sun!
But that was until I discovered the bush...

Nothing quite like the red hues of an African sunset. Altogether now: "I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart; under African skies..." 

Nothing quite like the red hues of an African sunset. Altogether now: "I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart; under African skies..." 

The all-encompassing peace, connection to nature and sounds of birds, wildlife and campfires crackling to life as the sun sinks away over an African landscape just cannot be paralleled by anything I had experienced before. 
The perfect escape to experience the African bush is certainly Pafuri Camp in the northern Kruger National Park. A smooth, easy drive from Gauteng (albeit more than 600km) is so worth experiencing elephants grazing right by your tented villa's front door and showering under the stars in your private outdoor shower.

Inside the beautiful tented villas...

What sets Pafuri apart though, is the incredible staff - from feasts that magically appear in the form of buffet spreads (and prepped right there in the middle of nowhere!) to the quiet attention to detail everywhere, the handful of talented individuals at Pafuri Camp can only be described as true angels!

We had an unforgettable two-night stay at this gem - a must for any safari seeker. Ernest Hemingway's quote is printed on the guest slippers in each villa: " I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy..."
THANK YOU RETURN AFRICA AND THE PAFURI TEAM!!

about me

My first fashion "moment" happened when I was 12. It involved a blazer with multicolored neon stripes, published in a local fashion magazine. I knew that I just HAD TO HAVE IT. After much nagging my mom ordered it for me with her credit card - something she never did. The jacket arrived about a month later (packaged in the most beautiful tissue papered box). It was the start of a love affair. So I started this blog. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!
