Taylor Vs. Wonderland Zu Shoes

In light of the fact that my favourite nude shoes were damaged in Rome the first thing I had to do after I got over jet-lag was to go to Zu and replace them with the exact same pair. To my disappointment the shoes had gone on sale while I was on holiday and there were none left. Would you believe they went on sale for $30 a pair? I would have surely bought a couple of back ups if I saw them at that price! Anyway, since I couldn't replace my damaged shoes with the exact same pair I settle for a style called Taylor with the only difference being the height of the heels which on the new pair are taller.

FishMe Spa Mykonos

While I wasn't brave enough to try it I was intrigued to find a beauty spa of a different kind in Mykonos.

FishMe Spa - Mykonos




Honestly, I thought it was a jewellery shop with fancy aquarium displays but people had their feet in the fish tanks and the fish were giving them pedicures by eating away dead skin cells from their feet!!!





The fish are called "Young Doctors" or Garra Rufa which with their healing abilities are able to give a whole spa treatment. Promising to be painless and harmless these fish exude an enzyme with healing abilities and also remove dead skin cells without harming new ones.



Would you do it?

Eight Mascaras

The idea for an eight-part series on mascara has come to be as I opened my make-up draw and counted 8 mascaras that I currently have on rotational use. Some I like and some I don't like, some do what they say they will do and others don't. Basically, I will do a review on each including what type of mascara it is and give my 2 cents.



My collection includes:

  1. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara
  2. Designer Brands Amplifying Mascara
  3. Rimmel Sexy Curves Full Volume and Curve Mascara
  4. Loreal Paris Double Extension Mascara
  5. Shiseido Advanced Volume Mascara AV1
  6. Designer Brands Xtreme Double Ended Mascara
  7. BYS Fibre Extension Mascara
  8. Revlon DoubleTwist Mascara




Stay tuned :)
