This Beard's Gone Feral! - Schick NZ Free Your Skin Campaign

Happiness is... design & advertising - Schick NZ Free Your Beard campaign
I love this new campaign from Schick New Zealand! I'm not specifically pro- or anti- beards, but I just think this is clever and fun, and of course, cute! The recent big beard trend isn't great for razor sales, so the Free Your Skin campaign basically says that your beard makes you look like you have a furry creature clinging onto your face, so get rid of it! With Schick razors, of course.

Rain Africa Durban Blogger Event

Durban Blogger Event by Rain Africa body products
A while ago I was invited to attend a Durban blogger event hosted by Rain. It was such a lovely, well organised event where we learnt all about their company, products, what they do, why they do it, and how they do it... and I was sold. They've got such an all round wholesome ethos, it's hard not to want all their products!
The event was held at the lovely Makaranga Garden Lodge in Kloof, with lots of yummy treats to munch on. There was also a lovely lady from Tsonga who told us all about their locally handmade products and processes, and we even got to try our hand at sewing leather onto shoe soles - it's not easy!

We got some free products to try out that I've been using since, and they're such great quality. I got the Biologie Coconut and Shea Intense Hydration cream, and I can honestly say I've never used anything like it before. I found it actually heals skin in areas where you may have irritation, it gets absorbed so well with no residue and a lovely soft feel. The effect doesn't immediately wash off as easily as others do, either. As you can tell, I'm hooked! I was actually reminded to get my A into G and finally do this post when I realised my samples would run out soon and I need to buy some more.

“Our products are high in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, vitamins and omega 3, 6 and 9, generously formulated for the best results.
As one of the rare Fairly Traded and Beauty Without Cruelty accredited companies in the beauty industry, we consider ourselves to be a company with SOUL – buying with a conscience.”


I definitely won't be going back to normal chain store products in a hurry. Read all about their products on their site, keep up with them on Facebook and shop online or find a store, visit their store in Durban at Gateway.

Thanks to Rain for hosting such a great event! :)

Wedding Stationery Design for Taryn & Mike

Happiness is... wedding stationery design for Taryn & Mike
I recently had the privilege of designing the wedding stationery for Taryn of Totes Love Handbags & Accessories! It was a really great process, and a style that I enjoy but haven't been doing much of lately. I loved creating this little "crest" for them, and the navy and yellow work so well together and with the nautical theme. Taryn also wanted a pretty specific whale illustration in a style that I've never done before (and didn't know I could do!) until I tried it here, and I'm pretty stoked with the way it turned out! :)
