AROUND THE WORLD: Italy

THE COLOSSEUM 

For the month of love i will cover the famous gladiator arena, The Colosseum. It has to be my favourite structure in the world. Its situated in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire, built of concrete and stone. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering. Today it is one the most popular tourist attractions.

SONG OF THE WEEK: Taylor Swift - Trouble

TAYLOR SWIFT

I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE

I knew you were trouble, is Taylors new song from her fourth album titles, Red. She experiments with dubstep, but its relatively limited. The song is about being frustrated with yourself because here you are heart-broken and you knew when you first saw that person you saw all these red flags and you just went for it anyway

BEAUTY PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

GARNIER

BB CREAM

BB creams (short for "beauty balm" or "blemish balm") have been popular among Korean and Japanese women since the '80s for their multi-purpose benefits. And with so many people's interest in Asian skincare, it's no surprise that brands like Garnier,Smashbox and Maybelline debuted their own BB creams to correct uneven skin tone, minimize oiliness, reduce wrinkles and offer extra sun protection.

SONG OF THE WEEK: Pink - Try

PINK - TRY

Pink's latest single, Try, is a full-on power ballad, with yet more references to love going wrong. Lyrically, it is an ode to taking risks with love, no matter the consequences. It also talks about hanging onto one's dreams and aspirations even if it means taking risks. Its from her sixth album titled "THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE" [video below]

PRETTY 'N PINK

PRETTY PINK PEONIES

I'm not a big fan of flowers, but since watching Gossip Girl [ended now, which makes me extremely sad lol] i have fallen inlove with these pretty pink flowers. They come in different shades of pink but these have to be my favourite. Its a pity they don't grow in South Africa.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

SWEET TOOTH

MERVEILLEUX MACARONS

When ever i have a craving for Macarons, i have to go to Limnos Bakery in Canal Walk, Cape Town to hit that sweet spot. I am addicted to Macarons. 

In the US or France the best place to get them is Ladurée Bakery. 

They originated in France, and are a sweet meringue-based confectionery. They come in a ray of different flavours and colours,  My favourite being the pink one, Rose or Strawberry flavoured.

JEWELLERY

WOMENS STREET:  ITS LIKE CANDY

I am honestly addicted to this store. They are located in Canal Walk, Cape Town. I have never bypassed this store when at Canal Walk. I end up buying a handful of jewellery but especially earrings when i go there. They are not badly priced and their earrings are so cute, sparkly and come in every colour you can imagine.
