An already loved product, but one that's been upgraded with a new formula. As I am entering an era of self-connection and mindfulness, I am so happy to be partnering with the brand by giving away a hamper to the value of R2000, with products that deliver deeper, more effective moisturisation, continuously renewing your skin's moisture for 24 hours. They've also given their bottle a sleek new look - the perfect blend of function and style, designed to give you Micro Moisture. To enter: 1. Follow @suitcaseandchardonnay and @dovesouthafrica on Instagram. 2. Tag three friends whom you know would appreciate some slowing down. The competition closes on 10 December 2024. Winner will be announced via DM and in the comments of the competition on Instagram. Ts and Cs apply. Competition for South African residents only. P.S. Check out my recent blog post on why I believe gifting yourself with slow moments this festive season, is the best Christmas gift ever. #giveaway #win #competition #dove #selfcare #selflove #slowliving #slowermoments #changeisbeautiful #dovemicromoisture
Yesterday was a day filled with adventure as I too Yesterday was a day filled with adventure as I took the kids to the launch of Momo's Magical Adventure, made possible by @sandtoncitymall and Standard Bank Private. The show, which runs from today until 5 January 2025 is filled with the cleverest rhymes, the most magical costumes and lighting and lots of funny moments, fit for the whole family! Plus, it runs four times daily, so there's no excuse to miss out on the magic. Let Momo's adventures light up your Festive Season this year! It's definitely worth watching, with a special lesson for all, and the kids will most certainly have a blast. #momosmagicaladventure #sandtoncity #show #kids #family #festiveseason #shineyourlight
