What to pack and what to wear on a Safari Holiday!

Hello Journeyers,
Now take a deep breath, I know you must be going into shock after seeing my blog pop onto your latest post tab. I'm back!
Still struggling but working on it.

Cedric and I love going to the bush, if we could we would probably be living there. With that we go on quite a few game drives. One of my pet peeves are what people wear on a Safari. You are in the bush, try at least to blend in a bit. Yes, that means leave that lime green and cerise pink scarf and jacket at HOME, or at least in your suitcase till you get to your next destination where it is appropriate to wear, like a island. And ladies - LEAVE YOUR HIGH HEELS AT HOME! Trust me, the animals don't care if you are 9inches taller or if you have perfectly painted faces. I spend my safari trips make-up free and in the most comfortable clothes! The bush is natural and so should you be!

I have compiled a list of items that I think are best suited for those holidays in the bush.

What to pack: (These are based on SA Safari Trips & Weather)

Summer:

Lightweight clothing,
Long trousers and long sleeve tops,
Shorts,
t-shirts,
vests,
warm sweater for cooler mornings/evenings,
swimwear,
sunblock,
sunglasses,
sunhat,
walking shoes and socks,
sandals,
cap and raincoat.

Winter:

Long safari trousers and long sleeve tops,
shorts and t-shirts for during the day,
fleece,
warm coat,
gloves,
hat/beanie,
scarf,
thermals for particularly cold mornings,
sunhat,
sunblock,
sunglasses,
swimwear,
walking shoes,
socks,
closed comfortable warm shoes and sandals.

There you have it, pack these essentials and I'm sure you will bump into the Big 5 more often on those drives. Kidding. But you never know.

They might just be hiding from those brightly colored clothes.

Remember - less color and natural looks is MORE!

Balm Balm SA Lip Balm - #JHBbloggermeetup

Hello Journeyers!

I know, I have been neglecting you guys! But it is end of the year and everyone knows how it goes this time of the year. So much to do with so little time! *sob* 

And then there are all these reviews that I must still get to from the #JHBbloggermeetup. #nervous (Yes I just used a # in one of my blog posts - damn you #)

We were very lucky to get one of the best 100% Organic and 100% Natural Brands to sponsor us with some amazing Lip Balms. Yes I'm talking about the one and only Balm Balm SA! 

I have been using mine for almost a week now and I am in love with it! Cedric has some competition! Joking haha! I received the Tea Tree Flavour and I absolutely love the smell of Tea Tree. To me it always smells so clean and healthy. 

Pro's - I love it. What I love the most is that it feels extremely smooth on my lips and it actually works. I constantly suffer from dry lips! It is super annoying. And as soon as I put this onto my lips they feel smooth and it lasts for hours. No jokes. I constantly rub my lips together when I have it on just to feel the smoothness of my lips. I know that's weird. The smell is nice and strong but you don't smell it at all when on your lips. Plus did I mention that it is 100% Organic and 100% Natural. AND it is multi purpose so you can just dab it onto any dry spot on your body! It also come in 3 flavours. *Fragrance free // Rose Geranium // Tea Tree*

Con's - NOTHING! Maybe that it's just a bit pricey? But if you keep in my that it is Organic and Natural I assume that it is not too bad then.

My takes on it: Rating out of 5. 5 Being great and 1 being poor.

Price - R82 (online)
Quality - 4
Effectiveness - 5
Overall - 4.5

I would like to give a huge shout out and thank you to Balm Balm SA for being such an amazing brand and for making the world a greener and friendlier place! Also for making ladies (and men) feel more comfortable in their own skin. Thumbs Up!!!
