And … RELAX

Live mindfully. Go for a walk. Practise yoga. Meditate. And enjoy some me-time with carefully selected products.

All lychee and bergamot, redcurrant and rose, freesia and vanilla (swooningly lovely scents here), I am Sassy is a great range for a spoil-yourself session at home. Priced from R29. Details: dealz.co.za
