Started this platform in the thick of early mother

Started this platform in the thick of early motherhood, never imagining it would one day take us on trips together for campaigns 🥹✈️

She was the reason I started sharing online in the first place… and now it looks like I’ve officially entered my momager era lol

Layering matching sweats, stylish sneakers, jacket

Layering matching sweats, stylish sneakers, jackets and caps are my go- to’s to stay warm and comfy this Winter. Super impressed with the variety and these finds from Tekkie Town with great in-store deals, like Buy 2- save R100 for +More customers, you should definitely head instore to build your Winter wardrobe! @tekkie_town

One of the biggest lessons from my mindful spendin

One of the biggest lessons from my mindful spending journey has been this: spending less isn’t the only goal. Spending better is too!

These are purchases I genuinely use regularly, enjoy daily and would 1000% buy again, which honestly makes them more valuable than the pile of “cheap” impulse buys I forgot about two weeks later 😅 Bonus - I bought some of these with my Discovery miles 🙌

Favourite season (without the level 8 storms) ‘cos Autumn fashion is just wearing basics and letting the weather create the vibe 🍂 🌳 ☀️

Little comparisons like this actually add up! Comparing like-for-like items, @picknpay not only came out tops in terms of price, but quality and taste too.

Stay tuned for more comparisons over the next couple of months to keep saving mid-month! *Competitor prices checked on Tuesday 12 May 2026 at retail stores. Product compared on equivalent pack size regardless of promotion. Prices may vary per store, region and promotional activity changes. Ts&Cs apply.

Growing up milestones really do sneak up on you. 🥹✨ What I loved most about this moment was making the conversation feel normal, positive, and confidence-building instead of awkward!

Finding a first deodorant with gentle protection was important to me, especially for her young skin. The 0% alcohol formula and Pro-Ceramide Technology helps care for the skin barrier while keeping Alyssa feeling fresh and confident throughout the day. One of those little moments that suddenly feels very big, right? @dovesouthafrica
